A PRAYER TO MAHADEV!

Photo: A PRAYER TO MAHADEV!

Har Har Mahadev! This ancient call for Shiva has come to be understood as " Each one is Shiva".
But did you know, Originally , it was a call to The Deva of Devas by His devotees, the wise Rishis, to Take away their negative Qualities. Hara means to 'take away' , and the ancient Seers and meditators realised that Shiva could actually help them by taking away  their greed, jealousy, pettiness etc. Also, coming back to the meaning it is now associated with " each one is Shiva" a more evolved understanding would be"ALL IS SHIVA". Aum Namah Shivaye!
