THE MAGIC OF LOVE - अद्भुत प्रेम का जादू

 

THE MAGIC OF LOVE

When i set out to write on Shiva, at first, I was overwhelmed by His infinite aspects: What could one write about Him, who is Timeless, Limitless and Boundless? And then, the question itself revealed the answer. One sure mark of Shiva, is that He is bound to Parvati. It is said of Shiva that He does not incarnate. Of Parvati's bhakti (devotion), it is said She is one who can make even Shiva incarnate.
He is Timeless, and yet when Parvati manifests, it is time for Shiva to arrive. He is formless, but when She arrives, He manifests form. She is His eternal soulmate, and they always find each other, through the mists of cosmic time, even through lifetimes; such is the magic of their love! For it is said, Parvati is His wife even from Her previous birth, when She was called Sati.
And I realised that behind the innumerable tales about Him,
at the core of the myriad roles that He plays out, Shiva's story,is essentially a love story, over and over again.

एक महान प्रेम कहानी

कोई भी उसके बारे में क्या लिख ​​सकता है, जो कालातीत,अपरिमीत और असीम है? और फिर, सवाल में ही जवाब का पता चला। शिवजी का एक निश्चित  चिन्ह है, वह देवी पार्वती जी से बंधे हुए हैं। शिव के बारे में कहा जाता है कि वह अवतार नहीं लेते हैं। पार्वती जी की भक्ति के बारे में कहा जाता है कि वह है जो शिव को भी अवतार लेने के लिए विवश कर सकती हैं ।
वह अपरिमीत (टाइमलेस) है, और फिर भी जब देवी पार्वती जी प्रकट होती है, तो शिव के आने का समय होता है। वह निराकार है, लेकिन जब पार्वती आती  हैं, शिवजी रूप प्रकट करते है। वह उनकी शाश्वत आत्मा है, और वे हमेशा एक दूसरे को खोजते हैं, लौकिक समय के जीवनकाल के माध्यम से भी; कुछ इस तरह सा अद्भुत उनके प्यार का जादू है! इसके लिए कहा जाता है, पार्वती उनकी पत्नी हैं, उनके पिछले जन्म से भी, जब उन्हें सती कहा जाता था।
शिव एक महान योगी, गणों के एक महान प्रमुख, दुष्टों का नाश करने वाले, महान शिक्षक, और बहुत अधिक आश्चर्यजनक चीजें करने के लिए जाने जाते हैं, लेकिन महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि वे विवाह के ईष्ट हैं! और उनके बारे में असंख्य कहानियों के पीछे, असंख्य भूमिकाएँ जो वह निभाते हैं, शिव की कहानी, अनिवार्य रूप से एक प्रेम कहानी है!
ओम् नमः शिवाय।

MOTHER OF THE MOTHER : MENA RANI AND DURGA

“Arise, O Yogini! You have prayed to me in the deepest solitude for more than five hundred years. You have not been bothered about hunger, nor have you let the changing seasons, the blistering sun, the thundering rains, or the biting cold affect you in any way. Not once have your lips stopped chanting, ‘Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichaye Namah.’ So ask, O Devi, what do you want?”

“Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichaye Namah,” repeated Mena.

“She turned into fire

He froze into silence.

And Time stood still.”

“Yes, I do understand, Gurudeva. But, the story did not end here, right? She did come back as Parvati, right?” asked Shaunaka.

“Yes,” said Suta. “She did, and we all know that, but it took a very long, long time.

“Time stood still?” asked Shaunaka .

“Yes,”said Suta quietly .

YASHODA AND SHIVA

“I am but a simple mendicant, come from far, very far indeed, to have a darsana of your child…” implored Shiva.

But Yashoda backed off even more, further alarmed at the yogi’s words. “Take what you want!” she exhorted. “Here… pearls, gold, jewelry… but see my baby, you cannot!”

“Of what use are these to a mendicant?” replied Shiva wistfully. “These are of no use at all in the forests. Please let me have one glimpse of Krishna.”

“Not at all! Go away, please, I say!” Yashoda’s voice had assumed a slightly aggressive tone.

THE MOST BELOVED KING

 

THE MOST BELOVED KING

Those who surrounded Him were more like merry men rather than subjects. They were more like ‘brothers in arms,’ a happy bunch of gypsy people who were rumored to be fierce like brigands and impetuous as hobgoblins.” Suta’s eyes gleamed as if he saw the whole scene of Shiva’s forests being played out right in front of him.

EVERYONE'S STORY-सबकी कहानी

 

 EVERYONE'S STORY

Everyone has a story to tell.
Everyone has emotions.
Everyone goes up and down,
in the experiences of life,
like a roller coaster ride.

Everyone oscillates between
Happiness
Sadness
Fear
Anger
Confusion

Everyone knows their own situation the best.
Everyone's story is important
no story is too small to be told.
In the end, we realise
Everyone is part of the greater story,
the bigger picture.
And when we learn to keep our eyes on that
it is then that we meet our God, our purpose, and our life itself.
Everyone has a story, what's yours ?
Aum Namah Shivaye.
~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

सबकी कहानी सबके पास सुनाने के लिए एक कहानी है। सबकी भावनाएं होती हैं। सब ऊपर और नीचे जाते हैं, जीवन के अनुभवों में, रोलर कोस्टर की सवारी की तरह। हर कोई के बीच दोलन करता है ख़ुशी उदासी डर गुस्सा भ्रम की स्थिति हर कोई अपनी स्थिति को सबसे अच्छी तरह जानता है। सबकी कहानी महत्वपूर्ण कोई भी कहानी कहने के लिए बहुत छोटी नहीं होती। अंत में हमें एहसास होता है हर कोई बड़ी कहानी का हिस्सा है, बड़ा चित्र। और जब हम उस पर नज़र रखना सीख जाते हैं तभी हम अपने परमेश्वर, अपने उद्देश्य और स्वयं अपने जीवन से मिलते हैं। सबकी एक कहानी है, आपकी क्या है? ओम् नमः शिवाय। Hindi translation by Yash N R

Shiva is Ardhanarishwara

 

Shiva is Ardhanarishwara — The One who is both Shiva and Shakti, forever united as One. The right half is Shiva, the left half is Parvati. Together they make the most complete whole. Two souls in one body, two bodies in one soul, always together for eternity. शिव अर्धनारीश्वर हैं — वही एक जो शिव भी हैं और शक्ति भी, सदा एक रूप में जुड़े हुए।दाहिना आधा शिव है, बायाँ आधा पार्वती है।दोनों मिलकर सबसे पूर्ण समग्र हैं। एक शरीर में दो आत्माएँ, एक आत्मा में दो शरीर — सदा के लिए साथ।
