Shiva Chalisa
Destroyer of All Negative Energies and Planetary Afflictions
(शिव चालीसा - ग्रहों के प्रकोप का नाश)
When the Sages Received the Divine Verses
The Shiva Purana describes how during the churning of the cosmic ocean, when the deadly Halahala poison threatened existence, the seven sages (Saptarishis) received the original Shiva Chalisa directly from Lord Shiva himself. These 40 verses contained the power to transform poison into nectar.
For centuries, yogis have used the Shiva Chalisa during eclipses and planetary transits. The text specifically mentions in verse 12: “Jo path kare Shiva Chalisa, hoye grah shanti sab upadisha” – “Whoever recites Shiva Chalisa obtains relief from all planetary afflictions.”
"The vibrations of Shiva's name in the Chalisa dissolve karma faster than planetary cycles can deliver it."
