Manas Puja or Mental worship is a kind of worship that is done within the Mana
or Mind. Upanishads say that internal worship is far superior than the
external worship.
During the Manas puja, you visualize the steps of the Pooja and recite the Mantras before Shiva in your mind.
It consists of five mantras that describe glory of Shiva. Here are the lyrics of Manas Puja Stotra with translation in Hindi and English.
-अथ श्री शिव मानस पूजा-
रत्नैः कल्पितमासनम् हिमजलैः स्नानम् च दिव्याम्बरं।
नानारत्नविभूषितं मृगमदामोदाङ्कितं चन्दनम्।।
जातीचम्पकबिल्वपत्ररचितं पुष्पम् च धूपम् तथा।
दीपं देव दयानिधे पशुपते हृत्कल्पितं गृह्यतां।1।
ratnaih kalpitamāsanam himajalaih snānam cha divyāmbaram.
nānāratna vibhūshitam mrigamadāmodāmkitam chandanam.
jātīchampaka bilvapatra-rachitam pushpam cha dhūpam tathā.
dīpam deva dayānidhe pashupate hritkalpitam guhyatām.1
सौवर्णे नवरत्नखण्डरचिते पात्रे घृतं पायसं भक्ष्यं।
पञ्चविधं पयोदधियुतम् रम्भाफलम् पानकम्।।
शाकानामयुतं जलं रुचिकरं कर्पूरखण्डोज्ज्वलं ताम्बूलं।
मनसा मया विरचितम् भक्त्या प्रभो स्वीकुरु।2।
sauvarṇe navaratnakhanda-rachite pātre ghritam pāyasam bhakshyam.
panchavidham payodhi-yutam rambhāphalam pānakam.
shākānāmayutam jalam ruchikaram karpūra khandojjwalam tāmbūlam.
manasā mayā virachitam bhaktyā prabho swīkuru.2
छत्रं चामरयोर्युगम् व्यजनकम् चादर्शकं निर्मलम्।
वीणाभेरिमृदङ्गकाहलकला गीतं च नृत्यं तथा।।
साष्टाङ्गं प्रणतिः स्तुतिर्बहुविधा ह्येतत्समस्तं मया।
सङ्कल्पेन समर्पितं तवविभो पूजां गृहाण प्रभो।3।
chattram chāmarayor-yugam vyajanakam chādarshakam nirmalam.
veenābheri mridanga-kāhala-kalā gītam cha nrityam tathā.
sāshtāngam pranatih stutir-bahu-vidha hyetat-samastam mayā.
sankalpena samarpitam tavavibhopūjām grihāna prabho.3
आत्मा त्वं गिरिजा मतिः सहचराः प्राणाः शरीरं गृहं।
पूजा ते विषयोपभोगरचना निद्रा समाधिस्थितिः।।
सञ्चारः पदयोः प्रदक्षिणविधिः स्तोत्राणि सर्वागिरो।
यद्यत्कर्म करोमि तत्तदखिलम् शम्भो तवाराधनम्।4।
ātmā tvam girijā matihsahacharāh prānāh sharīram griham.
pūjā te vishayo-pabhoga-rachanā nidrā samādhi-sthitih.
amchārah padayōh pradakshina-vidhih stotrāni sarvāgiro.
yadyat-karma karomi tattada-akhilam shambho tavārādhanam.4
करचरण कृतं वाक्कायजं कर्मजं वा।
श्रवण नयनजं वा मानसंवापराधम्।।
विहितमविहितं वा सर्वमेतत्क्षमस्व।
जय जय करुणाब्धे श्री महादेव शम्भो।5।
karacharana kritam vākkāyajam karmajam vā.
shravana nayanajam vā mānasamvāparādham.
vihitam-avihitam vā sarvametat-chhamasva chā.
jaya jaya karunābdhe shri mahādeva shambho.5
।इति श्री शिव मनस पूजा सम्पूर्णं।
