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!

ALMIGHTY SHIVA

 

ALMIGHTY SHIVA

Shiva is the gentlest soul. However, He can also be the most dreadful of all. He is the mightiest warrior these mountains… nay, this world has ever known. No onslaught is powerful enough to even budge Him for more than a moment. On the other hand, none can stand His onslaught. You do know the power that propels His mighty Trisula, do you not?”

“Ah yes, it is like the comet of death itself, hurtling at a being whose time is surely over,” shuddered Bhringhi.

“Yes. That is the power of Shiva, the God of Power itself. He is Shakti Maan, the wielder of Shakti!”

~ SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.

I FELT THEE, SHIVA

 

I FELT THEE, SHIVA

My tree of waking

only showed me, that all trees

are of your making.

In the root of my soul I felt Thee, Shiva

leaf by leaf ,

learnt the dance,

the tree of my waking

set the forest shaking.

In the root of my soul,

I felt Thee, Shiva.

~ From the book 'Shiva poetry' by Shail Gulhati

IS IT YOU I FEEL

 

IS IT YOU I FEEL

Is it you I feel

in the warmth of the Sun?

But then

there you are again

in the soft touch

of the moon you so adorn!

Is it you, by chance

I see, tapping in the midst of creations dance

you it is dancing at your mountain top,

But then

Who was that in the vale,

Who indeed the master of the wood,

Who in the Desert was the water well ?

Who caressed the waves of the Ocean

running fingers through the hair of this child?

Who whispered lullabies from the sky?

Namah Shivaye, Aum Namah Shivaye!

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry '

The word bhūta has many overlapping layers of meaning.

 

Shiva spoke again, his voice carrying the weight of the ages. “As we discussed by the fire, the word bhūta has many overlapping layers of meaning.”

The seeker nodded, counting them on his fingers. “Ghost. Disembodied spirit. Physical element. And the past itself.”

“Exactly,” Shiva said.

The ancient stories of the Puranas returned to the seeker’s mind in a flash of clarity: the wild descriptions of Shiva wandering through cremation grounds covered in ash, surrounded by ghosts, goblins, and strange, otherworldly beings; Shiva choosing to keep company with the outcasts and the forgotten while the other gods dwelt in magnificent, pristine palaces.

“Why do they follow you, Lord?” the seeker asked softly. “Why do you surround yourself with the ghosts and the dead?”

From the book ‘ The Shiva Scientist ‘ by Shail Gulhati

THE SUPREME REALITY OF SHIVA

 

Inside Shiva's cave, the animals never  disturbed Him as He meditated. Sometimes, He opened His eyes after hours of inward concentration, to see a deer looking at Him curiously! A snake or two cuddled peacefully in a cozy corner was not uncommon either. It was unbelievable, that sometimes, bumble bees hovered around His Kamandalu, desperately looking for the source of a sweet and enigmatic aroma that would emanate almost every time He went into meditation.
Even thesnakes knew that He was the One who existed even before the world began.
He was the One who has been prayed to, even when He was unseen.
And ever since the very first time He chose to make His presence known, Shiva was loved by millions.

THE END OF QUESTIONING

 

THE END OF QUESTIONING

“A lovely story about the time of Shiva's wedding with Parvati, goes somewhat like this,” said Suta.

“Yes! Yes, Gurudeva, please tell!”

“At the point of the solemnising of the marriage by a holy Havan, the pundit asked Shiva, "Who is your father?" Shiva looked at Brahma and said, "He."

"And who is Brahma's father?" asked the pundit. Shiva looked at Vishnu and said, "He is."

But the pundit persisted. "And who, may I ask, is Vishnu's father?"
