Kashmir Shaiv Darsana- कश्मीर शैव दर्शन

 

 Dear friends,

We all want to be able to talk about our deeper thoughts on life, without the fear of being misunderstood.
We all want to take charge of our own life in terms of awareness, and raise our self esteem.

But sometimes we are ‘stuck’ at a particular station and feel as if the train is not moving on. And we need help in finding clarity about our spiritual journey.We want a shorter and happier way to the next peak of our own attainment.
We all feel the need to harmonise the material world we have to live in, with the spiritual paradise we dream of. And,most of all,we all want to simply love and be loved.

Thirty years ago, when i embarked on my spiritual journey with the same questions, i went through a whole lot of literature,views,traditions,sadhus, and intense meditation. And i finally came upon Kashmir Shaiv darsana- Shiva's way as was given to the rishis of ancient Kashmir. Shiva's sutras and wisdoms can actually help us to understand the play of Karma and the collective past, and then re- direct our life with full awareness into a progressive future, from the present moment. Right from where we are now.

It is my effort to share these wisdoms in a simpler, more understandable, and easily applicable manner in my guidance sessions. For appointment details, please drop a message to admin inbox.
Aum Namah Shivaye.

प्रिय मित्रों,

हम सभी गलत समझे जाने के डर के बिना, जीवन के बारे में अपने गहन विचारों के बारे में बात करने में सक्षम होना चाहते हैं।

हम सभी जागरूकता के मामले में अपने जीवन का प्रभार लेना चाहते हैं, और अपने आत्म सम्मान को बढ़ाना चाहते हैं।

लेकिन कभी-कभी हम किसी विशेष स्टेशन पर 'फंसे' होते हैं और ऐसा महसूस करते हैं कि ट्रेन आगे नहीं बढ़ रही है। और हमें अपनी आध्यात्मिक यात्रा के बारे में स्पष्टता खोजने में मदद की ज़रूरत है। हम अपनी प्राप्ति के अगले शिखर पर एक छोटा और खुशहाल रास्ता चाहते हैं।

हम सभी उस भौतिक संसार में सामंजस्य स्थापित करने की आवश्यकता महसूस करते हैं जिसमें हम रहना चाहते हैं, जिस आध्यात्मिक स्वर्ग का हम सपना देखते हैं। और, सबसे बढ़कर, हम सब केवल प्रेम करना और प्रेम पाना चाहते हैं।

तीस साल पहले, जब मैंने उन्हीं सवालों के साथ अपनी आध्यात्मिक यात्रा शुरू की, तो मैं बहुत सारे साहित्य, विचारों, परंपराओं, साधुओं और गहन ध्यान से गुजरा। और मैं अंत में कश्मीर शैव दर्शन पर आया-  शिव का मार्ग जैसा कि प्राचीन कश्मीर के ऋषियों को दिया गया था। शिवजी के सूत्र और ज्ञान वास्तव में हमें कर्म के खेल और सामूहिक अतीत को समझने में मदद कर सकते हैं, और फिर वर्तमान क्षण से हमारे जीवन को एक प्रगतिशील भविष्य में पूर्ण जागरूकता के साथ पुनर्निर्देशित कर सकते हैं। अभी हम जहां हैं वहीं से।

मार्गदर्शन सत्रों में इन ज्ञान को सरल, अधिक समझने योग्य और आसानी से लागू होने वाले तरीके से साझा करने का मेरा प्रयास है।

ओम नमः शिवाय।

Hello! is there anyone out there?,

was the enquiry of the scientist.

Is there anyone in here?

was the enquiry of the mystic.

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 elementals, forest men and yogis, 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.

TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD- प्रभु की उपस्थिति में रहने के लिए

 

 TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

The lessons with Shiva were endless. They had to be. His talk was profound, but so was His silence.
“You seem to be talking to me even when you are silent. Is it true or is it because i love you more than my own life?”She asked.
“Silence is a language only a few understand,” said Shiva. “Those special moments when silence speaks, when stillness gives wings,” He whispered.
Even His smile was profound. Everything about Him was the embodiment of wisdom. Sati noticed that there were traces of this wisdom even when He joked.
“Do you believe in Reincarnation?” He asked one day.
“Only if I get to be with you,” She replied.

And that was the essence of Sati's life: To live with Shiva in every life. And that is also the goal of the Bhakt: To live in the presence of his Lord in every birth.
Aum Namah Shivaye.

प्रभु की उपस्थिति में रहने के लिए

शिवजी के साथ सबक अंतहीन थे। उन्हें होना ही था। उनकी बात गहरी थी, लेकिन उनकी खामोशी भी थी।

“आप चुप रहते हुए भी मुझसे बात करते दिखते हैं। क्या यह सच है या ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मैं आपको अपनी जान से भी ज्यादा प्यार करती हूं?" उन्होंने पूछा।

"मौन एक ऐसी भाषा है जिसे केवल कुछ ही समझते हैं," शिवजी ने कहा। "वे विशेष क्षण जब शांति बोलती है, जब शांति पंख देती है," वह फुसफुसाए।

यहां तक ​​कि उनकी मुस्कान भी गहरी थी। उनके बारे में सब कुछ ज्ञान का अवतार था। माता सती ने देखा कि मजाक करने पर भी इस ज्ञान के निशान थे।

"क्या आप पुनर्जन्म में विश्वास करते हैं?" एक दिन शिवजी ने पूछा।

"केवल अगर मैं आपके साथ रहूँ," सती ने जवाब दिया।

और यही माता सती के जीवन का सार था: हर जीवन में भगवान शिव के साथ रहना। और यही भक्त का लक्ष्य भी है: हर जन्म में अपने भगवान की उपस्थिति में रहना।

ओम् नमः शिवाय।

YOU RAINED

 

YOU RAINED

When Grace happened,

you rained.

This desert heart

Renounced its pain.

You rained

and finally,

in every drop

I saw the same.

When Grace happened

I was swept

in a sea

forever changed.

~ From the book ' Shiva poetry' by Shail Gulhati

TO FIND THE UNCROWNED KING

 

TO FIND THE UNCROWNED KING

Between the twists and curls

lefts and rights of life

calm down, and find Him seated

dot center, in the middle,

Inside.

When one breath goes

and the other comes in

find Him entering your life, within.

Ida or Pingala, moon or Sun

Find the center, where all is one.

Hatha! be persistent in your yoga,

sitting on the earthy ground

through Guru mantra, raise your divine wing

but not a robotic chant, you are human,

fill it with all your being,

tan man dhan, give it your all

to find Shiva, the uncrowned king.

~ 'Shiva poetry Vol 2'- Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

"What is it , that you know always, that all the yogis always want to know?" The Devi once asked her beloved Nath, Shiva. Shiva smiled, laughed, and then spoke exaltedly like a poet,

" This earth upon which we sit, the hills, these trees, the springs, this soft wind,even the moon! the sky! those distant stars that bejewel the night as offerings to you,truly, dearest," He exclaimed, arising, "The entire universe is a projection from the pristine essence within me; this human bodied yogi you love-your husband, Shankar! I am always the knower of the highest transcendence, I am always the knower of what is always."

The Devi was impressed, but, " Where do i fit in?" she asked teasingly.

"You, Parvati," He urged emphatically, "are the embodiment of Shakti, my inseparable power of dynamics, you cause the projection, without you, there would be no manifest world, and i would remain ever, in my transcendence , by myself."
