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.)

MYSTIC DIMENSIONS

In the morning, Sati awoke to see Shiva awake already. “A cup of tea for you?” He smiled.

“Yes, please,” She said.

When Shiva opens His Third Eye

 

THE DESTROYER

“Now, tell me”, said the Yogi, “how am I supposed to destroy the world?”

By opening your third eye, wherever you shift your gaze then, turns to ashes.” Answered the snake.

“Mythologically” , said the Yogi. “ Now, listen to the philosophy. At the personal level, the destruction of illusions, makes the meditator enlightened. This is the opening of Gyan Chakshu, this is the whole path of the yogis! The gaze of the discriminating mind destroys wrong previous concepts and illusions. Whatever scriptures such a man reads, he interprets rightly, whatever situation he encounters, he understands. The mind of spiritual discrimination destroys falsehood and delusion.
At the transpersonal or cosmic level, I am a paradox however. My capability is to destroy the whole cosmic play. But, if I use only half my power, to destroy the destructive processes themselves, verily, I become the course for expansion. So using half your power doubles your strength. It also takes double your strength to use half your power. Meditate upon this!”, said the Yogi.

            Destruction, paving the way for creation. I understand, said the snake. Like the defrost button in a refrigerator, enables us to defrost the frozen zones, leaving the other, major portions infact. Destruction, paving way for creation. It is obvious now, that although your symbol, the Shiv linga is a symbol of creation, they still call you the destroyer, this is paradox.

          "Yes", said the yogi, you are learning to cut through the paradox.

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

 

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.

“Will you be putting on some of this, or then this, or this?” asked Nandi excitedly, as he barged in to Shiva’s chamber. “What is all that?”asked Shiva.

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.
~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.


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। Hindi translation by Yash NR
