Bum Bhole Bum Bhole – Yahi Wo Tantra Hai

Om namah shivaay, Om namah shivaay
Bum bhole, bum bhole, bum bum bum
Bum bhole, bum bhole, bum bum bum

Yahi vo tantra hai, yahi vo mantra hai
prem se japoge to mitenge saare gum

Kabhi yogi, kabhi bhogi,
kabhi baal brahmachaari
kabhi aadidev, mahaadev tripurari
Kabhi shankar, kabhi shambhoo,
kabhi bhole bhandaari,
naam hai anant tere jag balihaari

Shiv ka naam ho, subah shaam ho
gaate raho jab tak, dum mein hai dum
Bum bhole, bum bhole….

Daksh prajaapati jab ahankaaraa,
trishool se shish utaara
maafi maangi hosh mein aayo,
bakare ka tab shish lagaayo

Ashutosh bhole baaba bhaye prasann
bakare ne mukh se jo boli bum bum
Bam bhole, bam bhole….

(from – shiv rudraashtakam stotram)
Kalaatit kalyaan kalpaant kaari,
sada sajjananand daata puraari.
Chidanand sandoh moha pahaari
prasid prasid prabho manmathaari.

Dhyaan lagai ke, jyot jalai ke
shiv ko pukaarate chalo ji har dam
Bam bhole, bam bhole….

Khel rahi hai jata mein ganga,
tan pe khaal khaal bagambar angaa,
Baaje damaroo peekar bhangaa,
mero jogi mast malangaa

Bhakt maange teri nazare karam
Bum bhole, bum bhole….

Yahi vo tantra hai, yahi vo mantra hai,
prem se japoge to mitenge saare gum
Bum bhole, bum bhole, bum bum bum
Bum bhole, bum bhole, bum bum bum
Om namah shivaay, Om namah shivaay

Daksh prajaapati jab ahankaaraa, trishool se shish utaara
maafi maangi hosh mein aayo, bakare ka tab shish lagaayo
Ashutosh bhole baaba bhaye prasann
bakare ne mukh se jo boli bum bum
When Daksha Prajapati (a mythical figure in Hinduism) became egoistic and arrogant, Lord Shiva beheaded him with his trident (trishool). Daksha regained his senses and sought forgiveness.

This verse is from Shiv Rudrashtakam –
Kalaatit kalyaan kalpaant kaari,
sada sajjananand daata puraari.
Chidanand sandoh moha pahaari,
prasid prasid prabho manmathaari.

Lord Shiva is beyond the limitations of time (kalaatit), the one who bestows auspiciousness (kalyaan), the creator of the end of time (kalpaant). He is forever joyful, the giver of bliss to the virtuous (sajjananand daata puraari). He removes the mountain of ignorance and delusion (moha pahaari), and I pray for his blessings and grace.

This verse praises Lord Shiva’s divine attributes and role as the supreme and eternal being. It describes him as the source of auspiciousness and joy, the remover of ignorance, and the one who transcends time itself.

shiv ko pukaarate chalo ji har dam

Baaje damaroo peekar bhangaa,
mero jogi mast malangaa
Bhakt maange teri nazare karam
He plays the damaroo (a small drum) and enjoys consuming bhang (a traditional intoxicating drink). My yogi (ascetic) is ecstatic and intoxicated in divine love. The devotee seeks your benevolent gaze and blessings.

This verse depicts the unique and divine appearance of Lord Shiva. It describes how the river Ganga flows gracefully in his hair, how he adorns a tiger skin, and the ashes of cremation grounds symbolize his renunciate nature.
