Picture of two bhakts decorating the statue of Shiva at Rishikesh.I remember when this first came out on the internet a few years back, some people said that they should not climb up the statue. But i personally only saw devotion and love.This is the same statue that later got washed away in the devastating floods that happened in the region two years back.Isnt it better to Love things when they are in our present, rather than realise their worth by a longing absence later on? Of course, Shiva ALWAYS IS!, only one statue got washed away, millions others will come in its place.but can we, dear friends, 'see' the devotion of the two bhakts who were able to decorate and love their Shiva with only devotion and duty in their heart? Meditate upon this. Aum Namah Shivaye.
