THE PRESENCE OF SHIVA

The presence of Shiva

is your life’s peak!

Take any way and reach;

From the Mountains, He does speak:

every creature,

mighty or then, meek

is loved

and welcomed with all the blessing

and cheer

you seek.

Namah Shivaye, Aum Namah Shivaye.

TO MANIFEST GOD

“Place this bilva leaf over the top of the Shivalinga,” said the priest.

Himavat gently placed a leaf over the Shivalinga and Parvati followed suit with Her tender hands.

A bilva leaf slid from the top and came to rest at the centre. It was the one that Parvati had placed. The priest was about to pick it up and put it back when he noticed something amazing:

The leaf had slid and come to such a strategic point, it started looking like the eyes and nose of the Shivalinga. The next words that the priest said, were to be forever etched into Parvati’s soul.

“You have made Shiva come alive!”

SHIVA'S THIRD EYE CREATES THIS UNIVERSE

 

THE THIRD EYE

Question : Ma, why does Shivji have three eyes?


Answer : Shivji has two eyes just like us with which he sees the sky, the mountains, trees, birds , dogs, cats, and people, the same way we do.He also sees things like buildings, cars, chairs, tables , books and toys with these two eyes.We can see so many things with our two eyes!

But tell me can you see yourself with your two eyes? No you cannot, unless you are in front of a mirror. So, Shivji keeps a third eye in his forehead, with which He can see Himself.

How wonderful to be able to see yourself, isn’t it?

Now, the good thing is that even we all have this third eye, in the middle of our forehead. But we cannot see it, so we do not know how to open it. And Shivji teaches us how to open this wonderful third eye by teaching us to do Dhyana, which is to close the two eyes and start to silently feel the third eye in our Self.

Would you like to open your third eye one day, just like Shivji ?

A SPIRITUAL DEJA VU

 

A SPIRITUAL DEJA VU

There was gold everywhere. Gold in the mountains, gold in the valley, gold in the sky. It was a golden luminosity basking in its own unending lustre. When Sati opened Her eyes, a golden sun was at Her window. She was in the palace.

She remembered everything that Rishi Vashishta had taught Her. She remembered every detail, till She came to the part when She repeated the mystic mantra ‘SO HUNG’ after him the third time. Sati went into the same trance as She had in the cave.

And then She awoke again to see a gold shimmering dawn.

This happened three times before She knew She had reached Samadhi.

A spiritual déjà vu.

And She saw Her own hair raised in the ultimate arousal- The arousal of one’s own Self.

She remembered the fabulously mystic teaching Vashishta had given Her about the self, the Generatrix:

“The Self is an amazing thing: One disappears as soon as one contacts it; the disappearing is the meeting. ”

“Ah yes, Gurudeva,” She sighed. “I have disappeared even though I am back in the palace…”

The moment She opened Her eyes from the vivid dreamality, She thought of Shiva.

Suddenly, Sati knew the whole purpose of Her life.

The thought of Shiva penetrated Sati like an arrow ,and She actually felt Her heart flutter, like a well-gotten target. She had never seen an image of Him, but suddenly, there He was, right in front of Her,dancing on mountain skylines, long-haired and well muscled; a mesmerising figure that seemed to rivet the earth with the sky.

THE SUPREME YOGI

 

THE SUPREME YOGI

“Lord, you are the Master of all four yogas, your Bhakti towards Shakti, the Mother; your Jnan of the Self and Cosmos; your Raja meditations of rhythm and steps, and your Vishvkarma of drinking venom”. The snake elaborated his salutation. “You remain devoted to your own principle of Divine creation, to your consort, and consequently, to us all.

You are the supreme knowledge of Self, all our selves, and the whole Cosmic Self.

You remain absorbed in transpersonal meditations for our growth.

If this is not enough, finally, you neutralize the wrongs committed by your children, by yourself drinking the venom spilled by us, this is your inevitable cosmic action.

Therefore, although you contain the whole Universe, although you are the Supreme God, yet, you are a Yogi too, remaining always absorbed in Godhood”

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

“AUM”.ॐ.

 

A mixing of the time worlds, in the stillness of now.
This would enable them not only to rejoice in the essential Oneness, but also enable the group to bring forth and introduce characters into the play that were hitherto unknown to the other.

Everything would just become a divine moment, a climax of the life lived. Samadhi.
The magical moment of transcendence was loved by the wise seers. They understood a divine sound, a divine vibration for it, and whispered it almost inaudibly…“AUM”.

The art of the littlest point.

A whole infinity reduced to a dot. And the dot crowned the Aum, represented by crowning the syllable ॐ.

Aum, was always in the now. Samadhi was a moment of the future mingled with the past. The seers understood that Samadhi was the grace of Shiva, it was the ultimate revelation about the Self.

He knew a perfect stillness.

When He sat alone, He was in deepest oneness, always. When He closed His eyes in self-repose, a most enigmatic dance presented itself to Him; a dance of Time; where the past and the future got animated as players and themselves entertained Him , like performers in a carnival. It had dawned on Him that He was an eternal witness, and thus too, the realisation that the story of all life, was His story.

SHIVA PARVATI VIVAH - THE GREATEST WELCOME TO GOD, ON EARTH!

“The moment that Lord Shiva put a jaimala around Parvati was more than just a marriage; It was a coming together of being and becoming, of transcendence and manifestation, of yin and yang.

It was a fulfillment of creation; the Creator and the created, of love and bonding, of togetherness, of Godhead and Lila...” said Suta with emotion.

“Yes, Gurudeva,” replied Shaunaka.
