Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Stotram is a Sanskrit word that means eulogy or hymn of
praise and prayer, which is dedicated to a certain deity. Mohani
Heitel sings all the stotras of this CD-series in her own musical composition accompanying
herself with Tanpura. Most of these stotras were written by the medieval Indian
saint Adi Shankara. Singing stotras or listening to them with undistracted attention helps
to feel the presence of the corresponding deity, and serves to express devotional feelings.
Mohani Heitel has compiled six CDs which contain Shiva stotras (Vol. 1 and 2), Devi
stotras (Vol.1 and 2), and one each for Vishnu stotras, and one for stotras of Ganesha together
with Subrahmanya.
This album is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The first title is about Shiva as Chandrashekhara
- wearing the crescent moon as a crown - which originates from sage Markendeya who
was saved by this prayer from untimely death. As Vaidyanath Lord Shiva is addressed as the universal healer. The Tandava Stotram refers to Him as the cosmic dancer. Dwadasha
Jyotir Linga extolls the sign of radiance (Lingam), which appeared in twelve places in
India. In Shiva Manas Puja Lord Shiva is worshipped mentally. The last stotram is a
prayer to ask Him for forgiveness.
