SALOKA
i found this interesting picture depicting Lord Shiva as creator of the Universe. He seems to be holding freshly created planets in both His hands. It seems as though He is ready to dispatch the one in His left hand into outer space.
This is is how life works, our parents who create us, keep us safe with themselves in their protective custody as children; but there comes a time when they feel we are now old enough to venture out into the big world 'out there'.
And this made me think, in a huge Universe of billions of galaxies and planets, made by Him, there was one planet where Shiva chose to dispatch Himself to make His own abode atop a mountain .. doesn't that make earth a special place, and us the luckiest inheritors of the Adi Yogi?
The ancient rishis noted this and called the phenomenon 'SA LOKA' those who share the same planet as God. Meditate upon this!
Aum Namah Shivaye.
