TO CUT OFF ATTACHMENT, LITERALLY

“Shiva, you know I love you like a brother… I loved Sati like my sister…” began Vishnu.

“Loved?” said Shiva quietly.

“Yes, I mean I love Her like a sister. I mean She has gone now, so I loved Her.”

“Gone?”

“Shiva, Shiva! Come on, it’s the most terrible thing that could have happened, but you have to compose yourself. She is gone now, and we must go on, it’s what She would have wanted,” said Vishnu.

“Go on?”

“Shiva, you cannot be like this, you cannot behave like this,” Vishnu was almost pleading.

Nandi shifted uneasily.....

आओ शिव शक्ति के रंग में रंग लें अपना जीवन Come, let us join the play of Shiva Shakti

 

All Shiva Bhakts know that this world is the creation of the Father Shiva and Mother Shakti out of love. Shiva and Shakti want all beings of this Universe to be happy, to be playful, to be good and to be Godly in their own outlook. This in short, is the purpose of the Shiva Lila.

But what happens is that we get so involved in our social duties  such as household work, office work, children's school, parents care etc, all these things are important and should be handled with responsibility, but they sometimes take our mind away completely from the original mission, of being Godly in our own outlook
.
But our heart always wants to connect to happiness, to connect to God. So how do we do that?
The answer is lying in the same heart that wants God: To be near to God, we need to become the same what we want God to be.

We know God is Kind, so we should also be kind. We know God is generous, so we should also be generous. We Know God keeps His body fit, so we should also keep ourselves fit.We know God shares only happiness and positive thoughts, so we should also be like that to the others we come across.To play Shiva lila, we should be like the perfect child of God, the perfect Bhakt of God, by being an absolutely good and divine person ourselves.
The Shiva bhakt knows that Shiva likes it when His Ganas are as Good as Shiva Himself in their behaviour. So let us colour ourselves in the great colours of God,
आओ शिव शक्ति के रंग में रंग लें अपना जीवन
Come, let us join the play of Shiva Shakti.
Aum Namah Shivaye!

SHIVA

He often drifted into a whirlpool of questions. What was His role in this world? How far had He played out that role? Where had He come from? Where was He going?

He had serial memories of the past, lucid visualizations of a future, strangely woven together into a spiritual Déjà vu.

“Place this bilva leaf over the top of the Shivalinga,” said the priest. Himavat gently placed a leaf over the Shivalinga and Parvati followed suit with Her tender hands. “Now hold the golden vessel firmly, and pour the water over the Shivalinga, and say Aum Namah Shivaye,” said the priest.

A BILLION STARS

 

A BILLION STARS

A billion stars you nest

in those magical matlocks,

birth Heavens with each flick of approval

some have walked the ramp, some yet to come.

Shiva!

Lord of the ring, they say

but more, the caster of the play.

When the dance began, some ran

others waited for the nod,

at the ripening of the magical pod.

Earth to sky, Namah Shivaye,

Aum Namah Shivaye!

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry Vol 2' by Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

FATHER HAS COME OUT OF HIS TRANCE

 

FATHER HAS COME OUT OF HIS TRANCE

Who can know your joy rides in your heart,

those awesome gales ,the phantasmic thoughts

that make hair raising tales?

Sometimes, may you smile, Divine One,

and, coming out of the Dhyan, teach us not just your study

but Ananda, the blissful wild dance.

"Bhom Bhom Bhom" Sounds Nandi the drum,

thumping joyfully his own chest, the loyal, loving one,

bellows thunderously, the barrel chested Gan,

Come dance, come dance, Father has come out of His trance!!

~From the book ' Shiva poetry Vol 2'

THE MOMENT OF DECISION

 

THE MOMENT OF DECISION

That was the moment of decision. When Shiva stood atop His hill with Sati in His arms, wondering if anyone deserved to live when She was dead.
