WHEN KING HIMAVAT ASKS SHIVA TO STAY BACK WITH PARVATI

As He came near King Himavat, Shiva spoke, “It has been a great day your Majesty, the greatest day in my life. I shall remain grateful for this, forever. But for now, may I take your leave, and may I take Parvati to Her new home at Kailash?”

“I was thinking, my dear Lord,” said Himavat softly. “Why do you not stay here for a while, with us? Give us the pleasure of being our guest for a few days, and in the bargain, give Parvati more time to spend in Her own mountains…”

“AUM”.ॐ.

 

A mixing of the time worlds, in the stillness of now.
This would enable them not only to rejoice in the essential Oneness, but also enable the group to bring forth and introduce characters into the play that were hitherto unknown to the other.
Everything would just become a divine moment, a climax of the life lived. Samadhi.
The magical moment of transcendence was loved by the wise seers. They understood a divine sound, a divine vibration for it, and whispered it almost inaudibly…“AUM”.
The art of the littlest point.
A whole infinity reduced to a dot. And the dot crowned the Aum, represented by crowning the syllable ॐ.
Aum, was always in the now. Samadhi was a moment of the future mingled with the past. The seers understood that Samadhi was the grace of Shiva, it was the ultimate revelation about the Self.
He knew a perfect stillness.
When He sat alone, He was in deepest oneness, always. When He closed His eyes in self-repose, a most enigmatic dance presented itself to Him; a dance of Time; where the past and the future got animated as players and themselves entertained Him , like performers in a carnival. It had dawned on Him that He was an eternal witness, and thus too, the realisation that the story of all life, was His story.

SHIVA'S AGHORA DIKSHA : THE HIGHEST TRAINING

 

SHIVA'S AGHORA DIKSHA : THE HIGHEST TRAINING

Shamshan Nath was no ordinary Gana. He belonged to the Aghora sect; The most elite, but also the most terrifying guard of Shiva. It comprised of some Ganas from Himachala,Tibet and Mahachina, and others from the unknown reaches of the mountains called Shambala.

“Arise Shamshan Nath” , Shiva had said ever so gently."It is you, who shall prepare for my arrival into the current life cycle". When Shiva clasped his shoulders to shake his disbelief, Shamshan Nath felt as though a thousand bolts of lightning from a sky of knowledge and power had entered him. It indeed had. It was called pervesa, the pervasion of gnosis.

THE BALANCER

 

THE BALANCER

Shiva's Yoga is of a magnum level: To maintain cosmic balance, the Great ascetic sits as the silent origin of all existence, where every breath acts as a bridge between opposing worlds. Through one nostril, He inhales the shadows of the void- the dark demons of ignorance . Simultaneously, from the other, he breathes forth celestial radiance, with golden deities and the light of pure consciousness.

Shiva remains the unmoved center, proving that both the demon and the divine are but fleeting ripples in his eternal meditation.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

MAHADEVA

 

MAHADEVA

It is said, that once all the Gods and demons, realised that there was ambrosia in the Ocean. But they had to churn the Ocean for this ambrosia. Casting their differences aside, they made teams, and using a mountain for the churner, and Vasuki, the largest snake available, as a rope, they churned the Ocean. All was well, till they realised, that as a result of production of ambrosia, venom would also be produced, in sizeable quantity, by the vomiting of Vasuki, after such an ardous task. This too, had to be disposed by consuming, in accordance with the laws of Nature. No one dared to consume their little portions of the venom. Everyone was interested only in the ambrosia. You stepped forwards and consumed the whole of the venom, because it was of prime importance to you, that all must get ambrosia, even if it meant your death. Thereafter they realised, that you were ‘Mahadeva’ Lord amongst lords.”

SHIVA THE CREATOR

 

SHIVA THE CREATOR

After every Mahapralaya, Shiva freezes time in Himself.

This period can be longer than the whole age of the past Universe.

Then, His Shakti urges Him to create all over again.

This is the 'Pratham spanda' first vibration of the present creation. Shiva goes deep into the cave of His own mind ,

and thaws back to life the aspects of life itself.

Aum Namah Shivaye .

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

WHEN IT IS SHIVA YOU LOOK FOR, TALK FROM YOUR HEART.

 

WHEN IT IS SHIVA YOU LOOK FOR, TALK FROM YOUR HEART.

Lord Shiva looks straight to the heart.

What somebody looks like, what clothes and colours a person wears, this does not mean much to Him.

How one talks, cannot hold Shiva for very long;

He does not go for tone , nor even for content :

it hardly matters if you are loud or soft; words can always be crafted into pleasing, but still be an act of deceit...

or then, your prayer can be unelaborate, but heartfelt; your speech can be raw, but truthful!

And Shiva can see through all this.

So then, if He does not see colours and tones and other such ‘make-up’ , what is it that ‘holds’ Shiva?

He ‘sees’ the basic Svabhav ( propensity) of a person.

Not so much about your content, but rather it is Intent that matters to Him. He is straight Himself, verily He is Bhole Nath- the innocent, and thus too He loves innocence above all skill , all knowledge, all craft: therefore, the simplest rule is : शिव के साथ , सीधी बात !

Those that are loving and kind, Shiva, in turn loves,

but the unkind too, He helps to find their Divinity, one way or the other. Ultimately, all is His. Ultimately we are all returned to Him..

Aum Namah Shivaye
