SHIVA IS THE SUPREME GOD ALWAYS

 

Right in the very early beginnings of the world, Brahma and Vishnu, the two Gods were arguing over which one of them was older in age and therefore, perhaps superior. Both were citing various examples of their own prowess; while Brahma boasted about all His creations, Vishnu talked of His divine manifestations and how He had, from time to time, saved the world. Suddenly, a huge column of fire appeared, which had virtually no beginning and no end, startling both Brahma and Vishnu; they had never seen anything like this.The question arose as to what was this fire? Who owned it? Where did it originate? What kind of power did it denote? Brahma and Vishnu both looked at each other and shook their heads side-ways , conveying that neither of them had created this column.Then who was the creator? This became a stark mystery staring both of them in the face.They agreed to put aside their own argument and first fathom this infinite column. One went skyward, the other into the depth of the earth. They travelled for an endless time, but they just could not reach the end of the column!This, of course meant that they could not ever know where it began! Ultimately, Both Vishnu and Brahma were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the ground , and prayed to the fire itself to reveal its identity, its originThen, Shiva appeared, and told them that the column was created and owned by Him.

THE UNCROWNED KING

 

THE UNCROWNED KING

Shiva Never ruled as a 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.

THE RIDER IN THE MIST

 

THE RIDER IN THE MIST

A puffy mist hugged tightly at the trees along the winding mountain road.

The mist was thick, white and cotton -like, meticulously present at each tree top, giving the effect of lamps lighting up the path to a grand estate.

A little dot appeared on the road. It was a rider on a motorbike.

His most visible feature was cascading long hair, dreamily flapping about in the wind.

DANCE OF THE TIME TRAVELER

 

DANCE OF THE TIME TRAVELER

And so,between togetherness and separation,loneliness and jubilation, He danced in turn with pleasure and bittersweet pain.

Dance was a key. It was His most innate nature,

to respond to an inner song with every sinewed muscle in His body. Night or day, dark or bright, the end, or just signaling a beginning , dance was the form behind all His form.

He was the epitome of motion; flowing on forever, was His constant.

Parvati- The Queen Jewel

 

He was a Time traveller; He had been to many lands in many times and had known many different people. But, no matter where it was that He sat, at the thought of Heaven, images of snow-clad mountains and a certain indescribable joy of togetherness would inevitably come rushing to His mind. Another image almost always linked itself to the landscape:

A gypsy tribe of fierce men and gorgeous women dancing around a bonfire of pure warmth, in a happiness that was incomparable in the entire Universe.
The quest for that unlimited happiness led intergalactic travellers to search for this tribe like the Holy Grail.
If discoverers of the cosmos and Time travellers could find the tribe, surely the mountain Chieftain and His Queen would be spotted in the midst of it all.
Parvati.
The very thought of Her made Shiva smile. She was the Queen Jewel seated in His heart as centerpiece, around whom, all the rest rallied in adornment.

In a whole universe that had been projected by Him, She was the one being He loved immensely.
Parvati, His inseparable better-half.
Parvati, without whom, Shiva felt like ‘not Shiva’.
Parvati, without whom, Shiva didn’t feel anything at all.
Parvati, without whom, the Seers summarized, “He was Shava, a corpse.”
And without whom, as He Himself told Her once, ‘Nothing’, was actually possible.
And just as great an enigma as He was, so too was Parvati. It was She who was Sati, in a previous life. She it was, who was Shakti, the Goddess of power, in eternal wedlock with Shiva, making Him Shaktiman, the wielder of all the power there was in the Universe. She was always present in His presence. Even if that meant being reincarnated from one lifetime to another.

SHIVA TEASES MENA RANI

 

SHIVA TEASES MENA RANI

“My Lord! My Lord! There is a man who calls himself a dancer and street magician. He has barged into the palace. He states he wants to have an audience with Queen Mena and yourself,” announced the royal guard to King Himavat.

“Ah! Let him enter, and usher in Queen Mena. Call all the courtiers and the children too; I am sure everyone can use a little bit of entertainment!” replied Himavat.

The court hall filled in quickly with all the citizens as King Himavat directed. There was a palpable excitement in the air. Who was this curious man who had entered the royal court? What was he going to do? Was he going to manifest castles? Gold? Jewellery? Or was he going to create spirits and hobgoblins? What was he going to do?

THE PORTAL TO ALL OF LIFE

 

THE PORTAL TO ALL OF LIFE

Shiva sits in his cave in the Himalayas in deep meditation for the welfare of all. Shiva is the portal to all life. He is the doorway to supreme consciousness.From the cave of his own heart he can reach out to anyone of us, in our cave of heart. This is important to note: Shiva answers our calls from His lofty peaks, whether mountain peaks or spiritual attainments, softly, in the cave of our own prayer.When we close our eyes in deep repose, yes, it is possible to 'see' his own watchful eye looking at us. That is the total internal reflection of Shiva, on his own creation. That, is meditation, Dhyana.

This beautiful painting by our member Gopal Goud, to me amplifies, how, in His own third eye, Shiva contains everytning, including his own Yogi form meditating on the world!!
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYE

SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.

शिव सभी के कल्याण के लिए गहरे ध्यान में हिमालय में अपनी गुफा में बैठते हैं। शिव समस्त जीवन का पोर्टल है। वह सर्वोच्च चेतना का द्वार है। अपने स्वयं के हृदय की गुफा से वह हममें से किसी के पास, हमारी हृदय की गुफा में पहुंच सकते है। यह ध्यान देना महत्वपूर्ण है: शिव अपनी बुलंद चोटियों से हमारी पुकार का उत्तर देते हैं, चाहे पर्वत चोटियों या आध्यात्मिक शांति, अपनी प्रार्थना की गुफा में, जब हम अपनी आँखें गहरी ध्यान में बंद करते हैं, हाँ, यह 'देखना' संभव है उनकी अपनी चौकस निगाह हमारी ओर देख रही थी। वह शिव का कुल आंतरिक प्रतिबिंब है, उनकी अपनी रचना पर। वह है ध्यान।

मेरे लिए, हमारे सदस्य गोपाल गौड़ द्वारा यह सुंदर पेंटिंग, कैसे शिव अपनी तीसरी आँख में, सारी सृष्टि समेटे हुए हैं ,जिसमें उनका अपना योगी रूप संसार का ध्यान करना शामिल है, इस अद्भुत चमत्कार का प्रतीक है !!
ओम् नमः शिवाय
