O Lord Shiva! 

You alone transform yourself into all forms, into the forms of the powers of Rudra as 

aghora, the enlightening and uplifting energy, 

ghoratari, the frightful darkening energy which pushes one down,

and ghora, the energy which keeps one fixed, 

 neither rising nor falling. - Swami Laxmanjoo

Translation by P.R. Ramachander 

I offer you an imaginary throne made of precious jewels,

I offer you bath in the water of melted snow from the Himalayas,

I offer you holy silken cloth to wear,

I adorn you with very many precious jewels,I offer you musk and sandal,

I offer you Bilwa and Champaka flowers,

And I offer you the holy lamp,

But all these I offer in the portal of my mind,Please God who is merciful and who is the Lord of all beings,Accept my offerings and bless me

Pancha-Mukhi Shiva Lingam, 10x9 inches, Acrylic & Pens, Paper

Let me be flooded with that great flood. The flood of the water of supreme nectar. And that flood is, just to observe your face, just to see your face. Face here is Energy - Pancha Mukha ( Five Faces ) 

Cit Shakti- Consciousness Energy, 

Ananda Shakti - Bliss Energy, 

Ichha Shakti - Will Power Energy, 

Jnana Shakti - Knowledge Energy,

Kriya Shakti - Action Energy

And this face, when I perceive your divine face, that will flood me, I will get that flood. Let me be flooded by that Rasa(Sweetness) of nectar. The non-manifestation of oneness has created those wounds in me. Let those wounds be filled with that nectar so they are healed up. - Swami Laxmanjoo, Hymns to Shiva.
