Jyotirling Katha

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्रीशैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् ।
उज्जयिन्यां महाकालम्ॐकारममलेश्वरम् ॥१॥

परल्यां वैद्यनाथं च डाकिन्यां भीमाशंकरम् ।
सेतुबंधे तु रामेशं नागेशं दारुकावने ॥२॥

वाराणस्यां तु विश्वेशं त्र्यंबकं गौतमीतटे ।
हिमालये तु केदारम् घुश्मेशं च शिवालये ॥३॥

एतानि ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानि सायं प्रातः पठेन्नरः ।
सप्तजन्मकृतं पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति ॥४॥

According to Puranas, there are twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva all over the world. It is believed that Jyotirlingas have been established at those places on earth where Lord Shiva himself appeared.All these Jyotirlingas have different names and different methods of worship. These twelve Jyotirlingas and their glory have been described in Rudra Samhita of Shivpuran. According to Shiva Purana, all Jyotirlingas have sub-lingas as well. It is believed that by remembering this Jyotirlinga daily, the sins of seven births are removed.
