SARVATRA BHAIRAVA- SHIVA IS EVERYWHERE.

 

SARVATRA BHAIRAVA
The Ancient Rishis of Kashmir  have a saying, 'Sarvatra Bhairav" . Everywhere, is Shiva. Why do they say so? Because , everything comes from Him, and to Him it will go, this is something most people know or believe.But what we do not fully understand, is that Everything always also 'Stays' in Him . At each moment of our lives , we are actually abiding in Shiva, but we are not aware of this, we do not commonly understand this, in the way that we accept that everything comes from Shiva and will go back to Him.

But the Kashmir Shaiv Darsana : Kashmir Shaivism says, There does come a time in the life of a seeker when there is a Divine arising from within. This spiritual arising from Shiva within, is called Udhyamo Bhairav . When this happens due to years of prayer and meditation, learning and introspection, and , of course, the Anugraha- Grace of Shiva, the yogi becomes enlightened.

But the spiritual journey is not complete with just enlightenment or self realisation, it must culminate in the seeing of Lord Shiva everywhere, Sarvatra Bhairav. This is when the seeker has merged so completely into the sought, that he cannot anymore distinguish anything from His Beloved Shiva, wherever he looks he can " See" Shiva ! North, South, East, West, Here, there, up,  down, everywhere!

AT THE OPTICIAN

 

AT THE OPTICIAN

During my eye test I suddenly realized what meditation is.

Its a lens that removes the focal error of duality.

You see clearly that all is One.

WHEN GOD GIVES YOU...

 

WHEN GOD GIVES YOU...

When God gives you

Money, Knowledge and Health

learn in turn, to give, like Him , learn to uplift.

Lakshmi and Kuber marvel

such the amazing ways of Shiva Parvati :

Abundance actually multiplies when you share,

spirituality grows when you dare.

What Har Har Mahdev actually means.

 

HAR HAR MAHADEVA

The call to Shiva, 'Har Har Mahadeva!" has been popularised to mean ‘ Each is Mahadeva' .This is alright, because essentially we are all made of Shiva Tattva- God stuff .
But actually, handed down from the time of the ancient Rishis, it is a short prayer to Shiva , which means “ O Mahadeva, take away my weaknesses”

While Vishnu is called Hari, lord Shiva is known as Hara. Hara means ‘ to take away’ , and Shiva is the God who helps you on your journey of Self-realisation by taking away junk messages, much like a computer vendor cleans up your hard drive and creates more space for you to grow.

And this is how, the plea to Mahadeva is not just about being victorious on a battleground , but far more importantly about resolving the conflict and confusion within, and growing spiritually..

With that we pray to Shiva the Adi Guru,

GURUDEVA

                           

Sadguru deva namaya !

now that I meet the truth,

He will give himself, I thought,

but, he simply took.

All that darkness gone,

with just one look,

what remained as resplendence, was I !

Sadguru deva namaya !

Welcome to your self  ,he said,

you looked for God,

He gave you me,

mystic is the circle of return,

I give you He!

We are all,

reflections

of we,

lighten up, and see!

Aum Namah Shivaye.  Har Har Mahadeva.

SHIVA BARAAT

 

SHIVA BARAAT

It presented a truly unique sight, this party of Shiva - a happy blend of the most strange and varied revellers. The ganas and forest men and yoginis, precariously old aged people and naughty young pranksters, all moved together. The appearance was straight out of a merry circus.

Some had four legs, others none at all; walking on their hands upside down, winking intermittently at everyone. Some had hair like the leaves of a tree, others looked as though they were trees, with human feet. Some were more than hundred feet in height; others were small enough to be carried in the palms of their larger friends.

Some were dressed in the finest velvets; others wore bushes as their attire, yet others wore nothing at all, except loincloths. Some were playing flutes and gentle music; others were shouting with hoarse voices and pulling out the flutes from the players’ hands.

THE POT OF TRANSFORMATION

 

THE POT OF TRANSFORMATION

The look that can change your very Being.

Lord Shiva has a million attributes. But love and kindness are the foremost of them.He is the ultimate Alchemist, evolving the coarse metal of our worldly skin into the deeper Gold of Spirituality and mysticism. And this, He does with the ingredient of Love. One experience, One feel, of what love and kindness really means, and we find ourselves in a pot of transformation! And the realisation that the whole world is Shiva’s pot right from the beginning.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

TEACH ME, LORD

 

TEACH ME, LORD

“So, what work do you actually do?” Sati asked coyly like any newly married wife.

“I meditate,” Shiva answered.

“So then, teach me about meditation,” She said.
