गौरांग अर्धांग
गौरांग अर्धांग गंगा तरंगे योगि महायोग का रूप राजे ||
भागछाला मुंड माल शशि फाल करताल
ताडेक ढिमि ढिमिक ढिमि ढमरू बाजे || 1 ||
अंबरंभा गंभीर दिगंबर जटाजूट
फणिधर भुजंगेश अंग विभूति चाजे ||2||
वाणी विलासतुय दाता विधाता
जाता सकल दुःख सदाशिव विराजे ||3||
English Lyrics
Gaurānga ardhānga gangā tarange Yogi māhāyogaka rupa rāje Gaurānga
Bhagachāla munda māla shashi bhāla karatāla
Tādeka dimidimika dimi damaru bāje || 1 ||
Ambarāmba gāmbhara digambara jatājuta
Phanidhāra bhujangesha anga vibhuti chāje || 2 ||
Vānivilāsatuya dāta vidhāta
Jāta sakala dukha sadāshiva virāje || 2 ||
English Meaning:
Gauri's body (Parvati), his half body, in the waves of the Ganges, the greatest yogi among yogis, his form shines (radiates).
The mover of all opulences, wearing a garland of skulls, the moon on his forehead, who causes time, the sound of the damaru beating dimidimika dimi. Gauri's body, his half body, in the waves of the Ganges, the greatest yogi among yogis, his form shines.
You are the giver of words, the controller of all, the origin of all kinds of suffering, as Sadashiva you rule. Gauri's body, his half body, in the waves of the Ganges, the greatest yogi among yogis, his form shines.
The sky is his entire clothing, naked, matted locks of hair, adorned with serpents, the lord of snakes, his body smeared with ashes of the cremation ground. Gauri's body, his half body, in the waves of the Ganges, the greatest yogi among yogis, his form shines.
This bhajan describes Lord Shiva, but its real message goes deeper than His outer form. The images of Ganga in His hair, the crescent moon, the ash, and the damaru are not just decorations — they are symbols. They tell us that life is constantly changing, yet there is a still center within us that never changes. Shiva represents that steady center.
When we sing about His simple appearance and detached nature, we are reminded that peace does not come from possessions or status. It comes from inner balance. The skulls and ash quietly teach that life is temporary, so we should not be trapped by ego or fear. The damaru’s rhythm reminds us that creation and destruction are part of the same cycle — endings are not failures, but new beginnings.
At its heart, this song invites us to live with awareness. To accept change without panic. To face difficulties without fear. To remain calm even when life feels intense. “Sadashiva viraje” is not only praise of a deity — it is a reminder that the eternal presence of peace already exists within us. When we sing this bhajan with understanding, we are actually awakening that strength, humility, and stillness inside our own hearts.
