YASHODA AND SHIVA

 

YASHODA AND SHIVA

“I am but a simple mendicant, come from far, very far indeed, to have a darsana of your child…” implored Shiva.

But Yashoda backed off even more, further alarmed at the yogi’s words. “Take what you want!” she exhorted. “Here… pearls, gold, jewelry… but see my baby, you cannot!”

“Of what use are these to a mendicant?” replied Shiva wistfully. “These are of no use at all in the forests. Please let me have one glimpse of Krishna.”

“Not at all! Go away, please, I say!” Yashoda’s voice had assumed a slightly aggressive tone.

YOUR TURN NOW

 

YOUR TURN NOW

It is said of Shiva that He does not incarnate, He's never born!

but

Of Parvati's charm, it is said

She is one who can make even Shiva take form.

She alone, with a love unmatched can make

Mahadev exit His endless Dhyan,

wake up in the manifest world!

to witness

an astounding display of Jogin trance,

your turn now, she says softly, to figure the dance.

~ From the book 'Shiva poetry vol2 ' by Shail Gulhati

THE SUPREME

 

THE SUPREME

“It was actually as if Shiva was the supreme alchemist, transmuting the spirit of the seers with His touch.

And the magic of Shiva’s touch was understood to be the bringing back of the spirit to its original form.

THE GREATEST TAPASVINI IN THE UNIVERSE

 

THE GREATEST TAPASVINI IN THE UNIVERSE

The birds and animals of the nearby forest were astonished by Parvati’s persistence, and also Shiva’s equally stubborn absence.“How long will you do this, Parvati? Why does Shiva not appear? What if He doesn’t come for another season?” They voiced their concern one day.

‘Ah well, I intend to further intensify my efforts from tomorrow,” answered Parvati.

“Further intensify? How is that even possible?”

“I think you can have all the berries from now on,” said Parvati, opening Her palm and offering the freshly plucked fruit to the birds. Even as they happily pecked away, eating right out of Parvati’s hands, the innocent birds did not catch onto the word ‘all’. In their innate innocence, they did not fathom that Parvati Herself would stop eating anything at all from the next day.
