Is there any eligibility for a person to recite it? If yes, what is the eligibility to do stotram?



In short, who is eligible to recite Shiva sahasranama stotram?

  • "The" gives the impression that there is only one such Stotra but there are 4 from Itihasa-Purana only (AFAIK but may be more) and many more from the Tantras.. So I hv changed "The" to "A "..

Mahabharata: Anushasana Parva, SECTION XVII




Upamanyu said



These names [Shiva sahasranama] fraught with auspiciousness, leading to advancement, destructive of Rakshasas, and great cleansers should be imparted to only him that is devoted to the great Lord [Shiva], to him that has faith, to him that believes. Unto him that has no faith, him that is an unbeliever, him that has not subjugated his soul, it should never be communicated.

    @Rickross As this Shiva sahasranam version is part of Mahabharata so there seems no restriction for cast/gender. Related hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/30439/12304
