PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

 

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

One day, before She was married to Shiva, Parvati asked Nandi to tell her about His habits.

“Why do you ask?”

“Oh, because I have so many notions of Him; so much I have heard, so much I have been told, and so much I feel intuitively. I want to know what is what with Him. So that I may serve Him well, for the rest of my life.”

~ SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller.

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.

DEVI

 

DEVI

Somewhere in the mountains,

a golden tiger brought

his rider

to the Lord.

And the Lord saluted Devi, saying

you,

are mine own god……

------------------------------------------------

Ah Durge~

we

do not know all

thy visions and thy graces

less still thy names.

Life’s each new turn

unfolds yet,

You

Once again!

and we,

bewildered thus

a child ….so remain.

Somewhere from the mountains,

a golden tiger came.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

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.

A BILLION STARS

 

A BILLION STARS

A billion stars you nest

in those magical matlocks,

birth heavens with each flick of approval

some have walked the ramp, some yet to come.

Shiva!

Lord of the ring, they say

but more, the caster of the play.

When the dance began, some ran

others waited for the nod,

at the ripening of the magical pod.

Earth to sky, Namah Shivaye!

Aum Namah Shivaye.

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry Vol 2' by Shail Gulhati

PARVATI'S TAPASYA

 

PARVATI'S TAPASYA

How long will you do this, Parvati? Why does Shiva not appear? What if He doesn’t come for another season?” The birds and animals voiced their concern one day.

‘Ah well, I intend to further intensify my efforts from tomorrow,” answered Parvati.

“Further intensify? How is that even possible?”

“I think you can have all the berries from now on,” said Parvati, opening Her palm and offering the freshly plucked fruit to the birds. Parvati would stop eating anything at all from the next day, as in ‘intensification’ to attain Shiva, she would actually subsist only on His name. “Aum Namah Shivaye,” She whispered into the dainty birds’ ears.
