Starting with the lyrics Brahma Murari Surarchita Lingam, Lingashtakam is a very popular hymn to praise Lord Shiva.
Lingashtakam lyrics are equally popular and significant as the Shiva Panchakshara stotram lyrics in day-to-day worship. But here the hymn praises the Linga form of Lord Shiva rather than the murti form.
This divine Lingashtakam hymn explains the greatness of Shiva Linga worship along with the benefits that devotees get from the Lingaradhana.
It is good to recite this stotram 3 times by sitting in a comfortable position and pleasant surroundings to meditate on Shiva.
