LIKE A CHILD

 


LIKE A CHILD
Worry not,
about this tumultuous stream called life
with all its sadness, all the strife
He will take you ashore like a child
He, who stands there always
waiting
to extend a helping hand
to you, who love God and life and all creatures alike.
Jai Ho!
When and how , will i know, you ask?
"Sam karoti, iti samkara"
says the Darsana of Kashmir,
He, who introduces you
to the sameness
of your own Self Divine
He , it is that is Siva
The Guru, Maheswaraye.
Namah Shivaye, Aum Namah Shivaye!
~ From the book' Shiva poetry Vol2 ' by Shail Gulhati

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV


PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV
One day, before She was married to Shiva, Parvati asked Nandi to tell her about His habits.
“Why do you ask?”
“Oh, because I have so many notions of Him; so much I have heard, so much I have been told, and so much I feel intuitively. I want to know what is what with Him. So that I may serve Him well, for the rest of my life.”

WHEN I WAS SATI AND YOU WERE RUDRA…

 


WHEN I WAS SATI AND YOU WERE RUDRA…
He had virtually all the self-containment that anybody could ask for. And yet, He never got to the mystery of the woman. She appeared daily, without fail, at the end of each meditation.
One day She came in His meditation and even as He stared at Her, She returned the stare with an enchanting smile. He had been meditating ceaselessly for three nights and the result was that even in His thoughts, He was staggering.
“Who are you?” He finally asked.
“I am you, Rudra,” She said. “But to make things simpler, I am Sati.”

THE NECTAR SWEET

 


THE NECTAR SWEET
All the struggle
the tussle
the hussle
the bussle
all the fights
from all the lands
and all the people
Kings and warriors
and even sages,
was just to get to Him.
You should have pulled on the ropes of love,
instead of the ' Tug O war' you did!
All the craze to get to immortality
seemed a dream of nectar sweet,
but for the lover, a life without the loved
is without a doubt, a poison curse within.
Get to Him, for love, not gain
and the nectar sweet shall flow free,
All the love you need!
earth to sky, Namah Shivaye,
Aum Namah Shivaye.
~From ' Shiva poetry'

SHIVA DARSHAN

 


SHIVA DARSHAN
Shiva the auspicious, Shiva the Warlord, Shiva the mountain God, Shiva the dweller of the cremation grounds, Shiva the creator of the universe, Shiva the destroyer, Shiva the ascetic, Shiva the loyal husband, Shiva the meditator, Shiva the recluse, Shiva the Supreme spiritual master! Which One was He?”
“Yes, which one was He indeed, Gurudeva?” asked Shaunaka.
“The transformed seers spoke of Shiva in endearing terms, adding yet another epithet to His mentions. ‘Verily, He is all. He is Shiva Nataraja, Lord of the cosmic dance! ’ ” replied Suta.

“Creation,” Shiva said softly, “can be expression rather than solution.”

 


What if creation did not arise from need at all? What if existence is not the answer to a problem, but the expression of a freedom so complete that it overflows?”
The seeker stared. “What do you mean?”
Shiva gestured toward the sky. “Think of a great artist. A painting is not created because the artist lacks paint.”
Parvati smiled. “A song is not written because the musician lacks music.”
“Creation,” Shiva said softly, “can be expression rather than solution.”

THE KEEPER

 


THE KEEPER
Through the memory of a thousand yugas
He dances in a vision,
In His present, the Divine mission,
He is the meeting point,of past and future,
He is Shiva, Mahadev,
One who loves with a heart of gold,
remembers every story ever told
The keeper of moments that make a whole.
~ From the book' Shiva poetry Vol2 '
