HIDING AND SEEKING, GUIDING AND THEN MEETING!!

 

असतो मा सद्गमय
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
मृत्योर् मा अमृतं गमय
ॐ शांति शांति शांति - बृहदारण्यक उपनिषद् 1.3.28.

Lead Us From the Unreal To Real,
Lead Us From Darkness To Light,
Lead Us From Death To Immortality,
Aum (the universal sound of God)
Let There Be Peace Peace Peace.
(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28.)

Thus sang the Upanishadic Rishi .For is this not the ultimate aim of all mankind? To be able to find the Real ( Permanent) world instead of living in an endless cycle of birth and death.Is it not the goal of all beings to move on from the darkness of ignorance, to the light of enlightenment ?
To move from the mortality of the body to the immortality of the soul
So too, He who leads us fro Darkness to light , is the Guru.

Lord Shiva is the source of the light of the world. He is The Primal Guru. In Leading us to The Light, He leads us to Himself, in leading us to Himself, He leads us to our SELF.
It is all one great mystic,spiritual circle!
Hiding and seeking,
Guiding , and then Meeting!
It is all the Leela of Shiva and Shakti .
This is the Gist of the world play.
Aum Namah Shivaye!

SHAMSHAN NATH AGHORA

Aghoras were the earliest and foremost Shamans to whom absolutely nothing mattered, other than proximity to their Lord Shiva, at all times.

WHEN PARVATI SERVED SHIVA FOR 40 DAYS BEFORE MARRIAGE

 

WHEN PARVATI SERVED SHIVA FOR 40 DAYS BEFORE MARRIAGE

I hope you are happy, now that you have run your first errand for me?” asked Shiva.

“Yes, I am,” smiled Parvati, gently extending Her hand to Him, to give Him His kamandalu of water.

“Master!” shouted Nandi, startling Shiva who turned quickly to look sharply to His left. His shoulder bumped into the kamandalu, which was still in Parvati’s hand. Because Parvati was watchful,

She managed to quickly deflect the collision, saving the vessel from falling down.

“Yes, what is it Nandi?” asked Shiva with concern.

“Nothing, Master, I wanted to tell you, it was Parvati Herself , who drew the water from the cold stream for you.”

“Yes, indeed I know, Nandi.”

SHIVA THE YOGI

 

SHIVA THE YOGI

Even as an adolescent, Shiva was of strong built. And soon He started becoming aware of His physique. Every morning, as He bathed under a favourite waterfall, He would take time to see His own reflection in the still waters of the pool. Sometimes He posed in techniques, which could be described as a yoga of flexing. The animals laughed, even as their doe-eyes widened in loving admiration.

THE ART OF BECOMING A DOT

 

THE ART OF BECOMING A DOT

“Verily, there is a great lesson you must know, my dear Shaunaka,” said Suta. “There is Shiva tattva and there is Shiva, the Yogi.”

“You mean there are two?” asked Shaunaka. “Now I am really confused, Gurudeva. Please clarify.”

“There is just The One, there has always been One, and there shall always be The One only. The One is Shiva tattva, the universal stuff from where all things are made. From where all beings originate, including us.”

“So who is Shiva the yogi?”

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.

SRISTI ISWARA MAHARAJ

 

SRISTI ISWARA MAHARAJ

Sati loved Sristi Iswara Maharaj. Whenever She approached the forest, She felt Her feet breaking into a run; She could never just walk. This became a daily ritual: She would not stop running till She reached the enigmatic Shivlinga.
