NANDI'S GAME

 


NANDI'S GAME
Nandi loudly declared, “My Lord, are you ready to play a game with Her Majesty, Queen Parvati?”
“Hmm… okay,” said Shiva.
“lets play an ancient game, my Lord. One, that I have no doubt you will enjoy playing. It is called, simply, ‘Find Me’.”
This ring will show which one of you found the other through love,” said Nandi, putting the ring into the milk plate. and then added loudly, “Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye! Aum Triyambakam yajamahe!

SHIVA PARVATI- THE FIRST MEETING
Shiva noticed how extraordinarily beautiful Parvati was, when She spoke animatedly, completely absorbed in the argument She was making. He smiled. “I guess you have a point there, young lady.”
“And?” Parvati smiled back.

MOTHER OF ALL REDRESSAL: DURGA

 


MOTHER OF ALL REDRESSAL: DURGA
“Arise, O Yogini! You have prayed to me in the deepest solitude for more than five hundred years. You have not been bothered about hunger, nor have you let the changing seasons, the blistering sun, the thundering rains, or the biting cold affect you in any way. Not once have your lips stopped chanting, ‘Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichaye Namah.’ So ask, O Devi, what do you want?”
“Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichaye Namah,” repeated Mena.

SHIVA THE YOGI

 


SHIVA THE YOGI
Even as an adolescent, Shiva was of strong built. And soon He started becoming aware of His physique. Every morning, as He bathed under a favourite waterfall, He would take time to see His own reflection in the still waters of the pool. Sometimes He posed in techniques, which could be described as a yoga of flexing. The animals laughed, even as their doe-eyes widened in loving admiration.

SHIVA, DRUMMER OF MY SOUL

 


SHIVA, DRUMMER OF MY SOUL
Shiva!
drummer of my soul,
this is no dream,
ask my heart, where you lurk,
the woods are green.
And I have danced!
What of youth,
and life
and being
I am your very breath,
O King, of Kings,
Lead me gently now,
This world your dancing ring.
~ From 'Shiva poetry '

A WHOLE NEW BIRTH

 


A WHOLE NEW BIRTH
Connect all the dots
every little drop
back to where it did begin
and you will have entry to
a deep Ocean within.
Connect all the things
that have happened so far
in your own life , and the world at large
and you will see the presence God at long last.
This is the play of Heaven and earth
to move away in the beginning
and then, find each other in the end
but this finding is a whole new birth.
Aum Namah Shivaye
~ From the book' Shiva poetry Vol 2' by Shail Gulhati

THE DESTROYER

 


THE DESTROYER
The most popular belief had Him listed as The Destroyer.
This was the great mystery—when did the endearing mountain dweller become a cosmic hard stepper, the Avatar of destruction? And, why?
