Shiv Shloka
We Offer our prayers for Lord Shiva. He is the Lord of destruction, ruglating the population. If people don't die it will be utter catastrophe. Though this is superficial meaning,which is attributed for convenience sake, any God as matter of fact is endowed with all qualitities.

No berth,No death, No caste Have I,
Father, Mother I have none,
I am he, I am he, Blessed spirit I am he,

Permeating the Limbs of all Lives
Bondage I do not fear
I am free,Ever Free,
I am he, I am he, Blessed spirit I am he.
