And my favorites i have these on my music player..n are on loops all the
time.

Ratnaykalpitna... (Recomposed my AR Rahman)

O Shiva, O merciful Lord of all creatures, I have imagined a throne decorated with precious stones and gems for you, I offer you cold water melted from Great Himalaya to bath, I offer you divine cloths adorned with many precious gems, I offer you musk and sandals, bilva leafs and champak flowers and holy lamp. All these I offer you in my imagination, Please accept my offering, O Lord.

I am offering you ghee, and sweet milk in golden bowl decorated with nine jewels and another five verities of foods made of milk and curd, preparations made from divine fruits and scented sweet water to drink. I offer you lighted lamp with camphor, betel leafs and nuts. O Shiva, I offer you all these from my devotion in my inner mind. Please accept my offerings.

I offer you a seat decorated with canopy, two decorates hand fans and a shining mirror and I present to you songs and dance accompanied with music from veena, mridanga and big kettle drums. I offer you various prayers and hymns in total devotion. O Shiva, please accept these offerings, which is a product of my devotion in my imagination.

O Shiva, you are my soul, Godess paarvati is my reason, my five senses (hearing, speaking ,touching, tasting and smelling) are Your attendants and my body is your home. All the pleasures of my senses are objects to your worship. My sleep is you meditation. Wherever I walk I am walking around You. Everything I say is your prayer and everything I do is in devotion to You.

Thus completes the Shiva Manas Puja created by Shri Shankaracharya

And my most fav pooja- from the movie 'Manjunatha'
