SHIVA IS THE GREAT GUIDE TO MEDITATION


SHIVA IS THE GREAT GUIDE TO MEDITATION :

In yogic pranayama we are cultivating the power of Shiva or the Cosmic Prana in one aspect or another.Shiva is the great guide to meditation, the supreme guru, teaching us to observe, contemplate and not react, providing us with a cosmic view of the events in our lives and the emotions in our minds, so these can never overwhelm us.

Yet Shiva is not the deity of a mere intellectual meditation or any mere personal self-analysis; he is the deity of merging the mind back into its source in the infinite, giving up the personal mind for the universal consciousness. Shiva takes us beyond the preconceptions of the mind to the consciousness that pervades all space and is not bound to any memory patterns, fears or desires.


Om Namah Shivay.
