PARVATI

 


PARVATI
The one person that Shiva loves being with in this cosmic mind field, the one person whose memory He would not allow to fade even when they were not together, is, unchallengeably, His Woman. In a whole universe that has been projected by Him, She is the one being He loves immensely.
Parvati, His inseparable better-half.

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.

NANDI AND MAHADEVA

 


NANDI AND MAHADEVA
( When Shiva first met Nandi gana )
Sometimes, Rudra would go down to the greenlands between the mountains and the forest, where some really large animals lazed for hours on end. He loved it when even these animals, ‘the big boys’, were friendly.
One day, as He saw the herd of oxen approaching the greenlands, He noticed a head above the rest, When the humongous creature came right next to Him and thrust its face forward, Rudra noted that it did certainly have the face of a bull. There were two magnificent horns on the robust head. The bull smiled, displaying pearly white teeth. But what shocked was when He heard “Namaste Rudra.” The bull actually spoke to Him!
“You speak?” Rudra uttered, He actually couldn’t believe what He had heard.

HOW TO VISUALISE GREAT THINGS- महान चीजों की कल्पना कैसे करें

 


 HOW TO VISUALISE GREAT THINGS


Swami Vivekananda said, the same faculty that we employ in dreams and thoughts, namely, imagination, will also be the means by which, we arrive at Truth. When the imagination is very powerful, the object becomes visualised.

God is like a top Aeroplane flyer, whose children know that their father has fantastic flights in the sky. And it is when they want to be like him one day, that He takes off the winged bade from His own flying jacket and pins it on his beloved kids...and that badge is "Imagination"

Yes, we human beings have a very special gift that no other animal has- that of Imagination. This is possible from a activity of the brain which is different from routine perception, analysis and rationalisation. While all animals have these three, the fourth facility is present only with us. And therefore Swami Vivekananda said that we must always use our imagination in a positive way, we must create dreams, not nightmares.

This beautiful pic of Mahadev and Devi looking at baby Ganeshji as He toys with the moon which is usually adorning Mahadev's forehead, seems to suggest the very same thing:
Shiva removes His own badge and gives it to His children to be able to fly.
Shiva taught the Siva Sutras- the ultimate map of imagination to His Rishis Durvasa and Vasugupta in Kashmir, with the very same purpose: So that man may be able to take the Divine flight to God's own skies .
Aum Namah Shivaye.

महान चीजों की कल्पना कैसे करें
स्वामी विवेकानंदजी ने कहा था कि हम सपनों और विचारों में जिस क्षमता का प्रयोग करते हैं, वह है, कल्पना भी वही माध्यम होगी जिसके द्वारा हम सत्य तक पहुंचते हैं। जब कल्पना बहुत शक्तिशाली होती है, तो वस्तु की कल्पना की जाती है।
भगवान एक शीर्ष हवाई जहाज के उड़ने वाले की तरह हैं, जिनके बच्चे जानते हैं कि उनके पिता की आकाश में शानदार उड़ानें हैं। और जब वे एक दिन उसके जैसा बनना चाहते हैं, तो वह अपनी उड़ती हुई जैकेट से पंखों  वाला बिल्ला उतार देते है और अपने प्यारे बच्चों पर लगा देते है ... और वह है "कल्पना"
हाँ, हम मनुष्यों के पास एक बहुत ही खास उपहार है जो किसी अन्य जानवर के पास नहीं है- वह है कल्पना का। यह मस्तिष्क की एक गतिविधि से संभव है जो नियमित धारणा, विश्लेषण और युक्तिकरण से अलग है। जबकि सभी जानवरों में ये तीनों होते हैं, चौथी सुविधा हमारे पास ही मौजूद है। और इसलिए स्वामी विवेकानंदजी ने कहा कि हमें हमेशा अपनी कल्पना का उपयोग सकारात्मक तरीके से करना चाहिए, हमें सपने बनाने चाहिए, बुरे सपने नहीं।
महादेव और देवी की यह सुंदर तस्वीर बच्चे गणेशजी को देख रही है क्योंकि वे आमतौर पर महादेव के माथे को सुशोभित करने वाले चंद्रमा के साथ खेलते हैं, एक ही बात का सुझाव देते हैं:
शिवजी अपना बैज हटाकर अपने बच्चों को उड़ने में सक्षम होने के लिए देते हैं।
शिवजी ने कश्मीर में अपने ऋषि दुर्वासा और वसुगुप्त को कल्पना का अंतिम नक्शा-शिव सूत्र सिखाया, इसी उद्देश्य से: ताकि मनुष्य ईश्वर के अपने आकाश में दिव्य उड़ान भरने में सक्षम हो सके।
ओम् नमः शिवाय।
