SHIVLINGA

 

SHIVLINGA

You uphold the entire Universe.

Your symbol,the Shivlinga is the very embodiment of creation itself. How then, could you be called the destroyer?!!

But , Ah, yes, destroy this sense of separation in my mind from Thyself. How can anyone even take a breath if God is not present? Aum Namah Shivaye!

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

"The wave came from the ocean," Shiva said softly

 

"The wave came from the ocean," Shiva said softly, "and the drops came from the wave. The wave is not separate from the Ocean, it is something the Ocean is doing !"

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.

THE SHIVA SCIENTIST!

 

The intuituive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

~ Albert Einstein

An intuitive flash of the entire story appears all at once. In Pashyanti, the universe is seen as a singular, unbroken vision. There is no past, present, or future yet—just the complete cosmic blueprint existing as a flash of divine intent.”

~ The Shiva Scientist

Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

Shiva has a ability to meet with Kings and ordinary citizens alike - an equipoise of genuine interest.

 

What impresses me a lot about Shiva is His ability to meet with Kings and ordinary citizens alike; With the same respect and attention; An equipoise of genuine interest.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism

God leads you to look within either with your own past actions or then with His blessings. Either way you finally embark upon Him.

God leads you to look within either with your own past actions or then with His blessings. Either way you finally embark upon Him. ईश्वर तुम्हें भीतर देखने की ओर ले जाते हैं — या तो तुम्हारे अपने पिछले कर्मों के द्वारा, या फिर अपनी कृपा से। दोनों ही मार्गों से अंततः तुम उन्हीं में प्रवेश कर जाते हो।

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism

BIMBA PRATIBIMBA

 

BIMBA PRATIBIMBA

The Kashmir Shaiv Darsana has a unique way of explaining the Creator and creation, God and the world.

They say all of the world, (Pratibimba) is actually a reflection of God (Bimba). Lord Shiva, is not only the best Yogi, he is also the Highest experient, the greatest Bhogi of all. This is a very interesting spiritual understanding. It is Shivji who experiences the most emotions and understandings in all things, and that is the play of his own Shakti, which gives way to Leela. Through these worldly, experiences, He "Re-cognizes" His own Divinity .

In His great revelations of the Siva sutras to His rishi Vasugupta, Shiva teaches in Shambhav upaya sutra 11, त्रितयभोक्ता वीरेशः Tritayabhoktā vīreśaḥ!

He makes us understand that through all His experiences in all three states of waking, dream and even deep sleep, Shiva is always centered in his Divinity.

God manifests the world, to 'see' Himself in all His own Leelas.

And finally ,the whole spiritual journey uncovers one great realisation :

At the root of all things is Shivshakti.
