SHAMSHAN NATH AGHORA

 


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.

THE PRIMAL FIGHT

 


THE PRIMAL FIGHT
“Right in the very early beginnings of the world, Brahma and Vishnu, the two Gods were arguing over which one of them was older in age and therefore, perhaps superior. Both were citing various examples of their own prowess; while Brahma boasted about all His creations, Vishnu talked of His divine manifestations and how He had, from time to time, saved the world.”
“Suddenly, a huge column of fire appeared, which had virtually no beginning and no end, startling both Brahma and Vishnu; they had never seen anything like this.

MONEY AND POWER

 


MONEY AND POWER
“So, is it all about money and power?”
“What about money and power?” said Shiva. “These have always been in focus.”
“Well, what of them?” asked Parvati.
“Enjoy money,” said Shiva. “Only, don’t let it deprive you of whatever comes for free; don’t let it deprive you of friendship with the transpersonal doers.”
“Can a moneyed man be spiritual?” asked Parvati.

A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN

 


A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN
There was frenetic activity in Kailash.
Every gana had a look of superiority on his face and was running up and down, sometimes in circles, sometimes with a purpose, at other times in strange motions borne out of excitement.
Shiva was getting married! This was no small thing. Shiva, Lord of the universe was getting married! And they were part of it. Of course there was reason to be excited. And there was so much to do!

NANDI GAN - THE GREAT VAHAN OF SHIVA

 


NANDI GAN - THE GREAT VAHAN OF SHIVA
It was dusk, darkening into a starry night, when Shiva awoke. He looked out of His window to see Nandi, His bull seated on the porch.
Again the thought, “What time was it?” He was sure He had seen a morning when He was awake last. And also, the year seemed to have been way in the future then, gauging by the vahans.
The vahans were an interesting thing. They were the transporters of Gods.

THE MOMENT OF DECISION

 


THE MOMENT OF DECISION
That was the moment of decision. When Shiva stood atop His hill with Sati in His arms, wondering if anyone deserved to live when She was dead.

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE

 


A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE
He knew a perfect stillness.
When He sat alone, He was in deepest oneness, always.
He had serial memories of the past, lucid visualizations of a future, strangely woven together into a spiritual Déjà vu.
