THE QUEEN OF TIME

 

THE QUEEN OF TIME

She was beauty incarnate

Maya, of the highest bind

and He

just an ascetic, of the simplest kind.

They met,

they had to, as all mayic stories unfold!

and speak of a magic hitherto untold.

He was suitably stunned ,

struck at first sight, benumbed.

And regaining consciousness , began to beat His drum,

singing,

'Hail the Queen of time, the eternal Sorceress Divine;

You need to be mine '

She blushed, how could He do this ?

Unravel Her plots every time!

and He sang more ' Because, i am forever Thine'

THE MATRIKA MEN- शरमान

 

 THE MATRIKA MEN

“We are not a tribe of warriors,our chief is not a King. We are Shamans. We occupy ourselves in the worship of Matrika, the primal Mother, dedicating our lives to understanding, respecting and participating with Her mysterious ways. We uphold all the life patterns and the weaves that She creates in all the forms of Her creatures".
~ SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.

A modern re-telling of Great God Shiva and Parvati's story by Shail Gulhati

मातृका के बन्दे

“हम योद्धाओं की जमात नहीं हैं, हमारा प्रमुख राजा नहीं है। हम  शरमान हैं। हम अपने आप को अपने रहस्यमयी तरीकों से समझने, सम्मान करने और भाग लेने के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित करने वाली, प्रथागत माँ, मातृका की उपासना में स्वयं को व्यस्त रखते हैं। हम सभी जीवन प्रतिमानों और उनके जीवों के सभी रूपों को बुनते हैं।

HIMAVAT

 

HIMAVAT

"My Lord, there is a strange and reclusive yogi, riding a hefty bull, who wants an audience with you,” said the royal guard.

“A yogi? On a hefty bull? It must be Shiva! Ah, have Him brought here with respect,” said Himavat.

“Greetings, your Highness,” said Shiva in a soft voice.

“Greetings, O Yogi of yogis, Shiva! I am blessed to have you in my Kingdom. Any service for me?”

Unconditional love and unconditional faith- असीम प्रेम को असीम भरोसे से उत्तर देना

 

'A picture speaks a thousand words', and truly this beautiful picture from the net shows so many things in one go.
Parvati is lovingly fixing Shiva's crown. And He has left Himself completely in Her hands to do whatever She feels best. This, is unconditional love being answered by unconditional trust. If this is the way God can give Himself to His beloved's care, it is a sure pointer to the bhaktas too : How to 'surrender' oneself to the care of God.

Also, as we all know that Shiva usually doesn't wear a crown,
so this must be an occasion of public importance.
Therefore, it matters to Parvati how Shiva 'appears' when He is to address someone in his capacity of a ruler, a King.
However Shiva may dress or leave His hair down when He is relaxing in His forests and mountains,with His Ganas, when it comes to Kingship, Parvati always tells Him to grace everyone with His 'Sunder Roopam' . Just like she asked Him to show it at the time of His Baraat to her mother Mena rani.
This does not mean that Shiva is 'dressed up' for certain occasions, rather the opposite:
Shiva is always Sunder, but it is we who miss it because of His informal interactions and endearingly human ways.
Aum Namah Shivaye.

कहा जाता है की एक चित्र हज़ार शब्दों से अधिक समझा सकती है .
और इस चित्र में हम एहि देखते हैं . देवी पारवती अपने स्वामी शिव का मुकुट सीधा कर रही हैं , और शिवजी ने अपने आप को बिलकुल उनके हवाले  कर दिया है .
इससे कहते हैं असीम प्रेम को असीम भरोसे से उत्तर देना
समझने की बात यह है की अगर शिवजी भी अपने आप को अपने भक्त के भरोसे में दे सकते हैं तोह फिर एक भक्त को अपने स्वामी पैर कितना असीम भरोसा होना चाहिए .

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 sits there always

waiting

to extend a helping hand

to you, who love God and life and all creatures alike.

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry vol 2 ' by Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

SHIVA's GENEROSITY

 

SHIVA's GENEROSITY

Shiva had this generous habit: He gifted His attendants, the powers to be almost Shiva themselves. Gorakh Nath, Balak Nath and Shamshan Nath were just a few of the people, who, if they wanted, could conjure all three worlds from their magic bags.

These chosen ones were the ganas. And that was the difference, which never allowed them to become like Asuras: The training from Shiva about one’s own divinity.
