Shiva Moon

 


At last it happened
you
who elicit a thousand sighs
...across timeless sands, resounding seas
silent mountains and whispering trees
thousands pouring out a longing heart
just knowing a beloved echoes the same
this enigma of a pleasure mingled in pain
just
looking at you
is reminiscent of being ONE,
so the question is:
who were you mooning over,moon
is the beloved so near
it must be true
you bend
to give a forehead kiss.

( Written on the day of the supermoon 2 days ago.
Shiva, the mountain God ,wears a moon as adornment on his forehead or matty locks.The waxing and waning of the moon, which in itself is always full, is just a veil. just as our Self is always luminous and prisitine, and full. While the moon enchantingly locks itself in shiva's matty hair ,so too the Self projects crescents of ascent and descent involution and evolution.Shiva wearing the moon as adornment is an esoteric symbol of one who knows the self timelessly.)

PASUPATI

 


PASUPATI
He was here in their midst, as Pasupati. Just His presence seemed to exorcise them of an age-old sense of being unwanted. They began to think of Him as God.

GANAS WELCOME MA PARVATI

 


GANAS WELCOME MA PARVATI
The welcome to Parvati in Kailash was stupendous.
Ganas and ganikas had lined up on both sides of the mountain path leading up to Shiva’s cave.
Their hands were full of forest flowers and some wild berries which they showered upon the divine couple. They cheered loudly, “Welcome Parvati, welcome Mistress of the jungle, Ruler of the world, Goddess of our hearts! Welcome to Kailash, Mother Annapurna, nourisher of our bodies! Welcome Bhagwati, nourisher of our souls! Welcome, welcome, welcome home!”

ARISE, AWAKE , AND MOVE ON

 


 ARISE, AWAKE , AND MOVE ON


Every morning is a gift from God.
It is as if the Sun actually rises for you,
almost as a wish, " each day is a birthday"
Because every morning we have a chance to upgrade ourselves
into a newer, happier, stronger, and wiser version of ourselves.
We do not need to compete with others!
The one constant race is with our own Self.
While past happiness makes us smile and encouraged for more,
even past sadness becomes a useful experience,
leading us from bitter to better.
Every morning we have that choice, are we going to
spend our today complaining about yesterday,
or are we going to be our best
and move naturally into a great tomorrow.
No matter what circumstance Life has shown us
Mother Nature has a way to replenish our soul.
to Arise, awake and move on.
Aum Namah Shivaye.

उठो, जागो और आगे बढ़ो हर सुबह ईश्वर का दिया हुआ उपहार है। यह ऐसा है जैसे सूर्य वास्तव में आपके लिए उगता है, लगभग एक इच्छा के रूप में, "हर दिन एक जन्मदिन है" क्योंकि हर सुबह हमारे पास तरक्की करने का मौका होता है खुद के एक नए, खुश, मजबूत और समझदार संस्करण में। हमें दूसरों के साथ प्रतिस्पर्धा करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है! एक निरंतर दौड़ हमारे अपने स्वयं के साथ है। जबकि पिछली खुशी हमें मुस्कुराती है और अधिक के लिए प्रोत्साहित करती है, पिछला दुख भी एक उपयोगी अनुभव बन जाता है, हमें कड़वे से बेहतर की ओर ले जा रहे हैं। हर सुबह हमारे पास वह विकल्प होता है, क्या हम जा रहे हैं कल के बारे में शिकायत करने में अपना आज बिताओ, या हम अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ बनने जा रहे हैं और स्वाभाविक रूप से एक महान कल की ओर बढ़ें। ज़िन्दगी ने हमें कैसी भी परिस्थितियाँ दिखायी हों माँ प्रकृति के पास हमारी आत्मा को फिर से भरने का एक तरीका है। उठो, जागो और आगे बढ़ो। ॐ नमः शिवाय।

HE IS THE POET

 


HE IS THE POET
He is the poet
and writer of the whole
His single poem is the making of the world
He is the keeper of our breath
in this whirlwind space we call life
He, the keeper of our little bowl
He is Shiva the lord,
Mahadev.
~ From the book 'Shiva poetry' by Shail Gulhati

EMPTY YOUR HEART

 


EMPTY YOUR HEART
Did you know that you are like a beautiful bench in a park. Empty your heart of the rush
and sit awhile with your own timeless Self.
