Shiv Chalisa ((In simple English Language Shiv Yantra, Process of Worshipping Shivashtak, Stuti and Aarati)(With English Transliteration))

Have a bath before sunrise and wear white clothes; then sitting on the skin of an antelope or on a carpet made of kush, place the image or photograph of Lord Shankar in front of you. You can also keep the Yantra given in this book after engraving it on a copper plate. Then worship Lord Shankar with sandalwood, rice grain, white aak flowers, incense sticks, lamp, the fruit of thorn-apple, the leaf of wood-apple tree and black pepper. Meditating on Shivji, read the shlokas given below and offer flowers.

Karpur Gouran Karunavataran,

Read the Chalisa. At the end, utter 'Om Namah Shivai' mantra 108 times and meditate with a rosary of eleocarpus ganitrus (Rudraksha) seeds.
