THE SUPREME YOGI

 

THE SUPREME YOGI

“Lord, you are the Master of all four yogas, your Bhakti towards Shakti, the Mother; your Jnan of the Self and Cosmos; your Raja meditations of rhythm and steps, and your Vishvkarma of drinking venom”. The snake elaborated his salutation. “You remain devoted to your own principle of Divine creation, to your consort, and consequently, to us all.

You are the supreme knowledge of Self, all our selves, and the whole Cosmic Self.

You remain absorbed in transpersonal meditations for our growth.

If this is not enough, finally, you neutralize the wrongs committed by your children, by yourself drinking the venom spilled by us, this is your inevitable cosmic action.

Therefore, although you contain the whole Universe, although you are the Supreme God, yet, you are a Yogi too, remaining always absorbed in Godhood”

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

“AUM”.ॐ.

 

A mixing of the time worlds, in the stillness of now.
This would enable them not only to rejoice in the essential Oneness, but also enable the group to bring forth and introduce characters into the play that were hitherto unknown to the other.

Everything would just become a divine moment, a climax of the life lived. Samadhi.
The magical moment of transcendence was loved by the wise seers. They understood a divine sound, a divine vibration for it, and whispered it almost inaudibly…“AUM”.

The art of the littlest point.

A whole infinity reduced to a dot. And the dot crowned the Aum, represented by crowning the syllable ॐ.

Aum, was always in the now. Samadhi was a moment of the future mingled with the past. The seers understood that Samadhi was the grace of Shiva, it was the ultimate revelation about the Self.

He knew a perfect stillness.

When He sat alone, He was in deepest oneness, always. When He closed His eyes in self-repose, a most enigmatic dance presented itself to Him; a dance of Time; where the past and the future got animated as players and themselves entertained Him , like performers in a carnival. It had dawned on Him that He was an eternal witness, and thus too, the realisation that the story of all life, was His story.

SHIVA PARVATI VIVAH - THE GREATEST WELCOME TO GOD, ON EARTH!

 

SHIVA PARVATI VIVAH - THE GREATEST WELCOME TO GOD, ON EARTH!

“The moment that Lord Shiva put a jaimala around Parvati was more than just a marriage; It was a coming together of being and becoming, of transcendence and manifestation, of yin and yang.

It was a fulfillment of creation; the Creator and the created, of love and bonding, of togetherness, of Godhead and Lila...” said Suta with emotion.

“Yes, Gurudeva,” replied Shaunaka.

SARVATRA BHAIRAVA- SHIVA IS EVERYWHERE.

 

SARVATRA BHAIRAVA
The Ancient Rishis of Kashmir  have a saying, 'Sarvatra Bhairav" . Everywhere, is Shiva. Why do they say so? Because , everything comes from Him, and to Him it will go, this is something most people know or believe.But what we do not fully understand, is that Everything always also 'Stays' in Him . At each moment of our lives , we are actually abiding in Shiva, but we are not aware of this, we do not commonly understand this, in the way that we accept that everything comes from Shiva and will go back to Him.

But the Kashmir Shaiv Darsana : Kashmir Shaivism says, There does come a time in the life of a seeker when there is a Divine arising from within. This spiritual arising from Shiva within, is called Udhyamo Bhairav . When this happens due to years of prayer and meditation, learning and introspection, and , of course, the Anugraha- Grace of Shiva, the yogi becomes enlightened.

But the spiritual journey is not complete with just enlightenment or self realisation, it must culminate in the seeing of Lord Shiva everywhere, Sarvatra Bhairav. This is when the seeker has merged so completely into the sought, that he cannot anymore distinguish anything from His Beloved Shiva, wherever he looks he can " See" Shiva ! North, South, East, West, Here, there, up,  down, everywhere!

AT THE OPTICIAN

 

AT THE OPTICIAN

During my eye test I suddenly realized what meditation is.

Its a lens that removes the focal error of duality.

You see clearly that all is One.

WHEN GOD GIVES YOU...

 

WHEN GOD GIVES YOU...

When God gives you

Money, Knowledge and Health

learn in turn, to give, like Him , learn to uplift.

Lakshmi and Kuber marvel

such the amazing ways of Shiva Parvati :

Abundance actually multiplies when you share,

spirituality grows when you dare.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

What Har Har Mahdev actually means.

 

HAR HAR MAHADEVA

The call to Shiva, 'Har Har Mahadeva!" has been popularised to mean ‘ Each is Mahadeva' .This is alright, because essentially we are all made of Shiva Tattva- God stuff .
But actually, handed down from the time of the ancient Rishis, it is a short prayer to Shiva , which means “ O Mahadeva, take away my weaknesses”

While Vishnu is called Hari, lord Shiva is known as Hara. Hara means ‘ to take away’ , and Shiva is the God who helps you on your journey of Self-realisation by taking away junk messages, much like a computer vendor cleans up your hard drive and creates more space for you to grow.

And this is how, the plea to Mahadeva is not just about being victorious on a battleground , but far more importantly about resolving the conflict and confusion within, and growing spiritually..

With that we pray to Shiva the Adi Guru,

GURUDEVA

                           

Sadguru deva namaya !

now that I meet the truth,

He will give himself, I thought,

but, he simply took.

All that darkness gone,

with just one look,

what remained as resplendence, was I !

Sadguru deva namaya !

Welcome to your self  ,he said,

you looked for God,

He gave you me,

mystic is the circle of return,

I give you He!

We are all,

reflections

of we,

lighten up, and see!

Aum Namah Shivaye.  Har Har Mahadeva.
