When the going gets tough, tough gets going!

When the going gets tough, tough gets going! Yes, So many times we get discouraged and give up without even realising that Shiva just wants us to trust Him until the end. Shiva will never leave you with a problem that you cannot handle. Be patient and strong. You must remember in those challenging times that Struggles in life are inevitable, but destruction is optional. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we choose to respond. In such times, stop complaining and instead give thanks to Shiva for endless blessings that he has bestowed upon you. ‪#‎TheShivaTribe‬ Choose to keep a positive attitude and thankful heart regardless of what you’re going through. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances. Remember that your Struggles always lead to Strength. Every difficulty in your life, whether big or small, is something Mahadev will use to produce more strength, faith and perseverance. Keep growing, we seem to really grow during hard times. because it's during those times that we really press into God and go to a deeper level in our relationship with Him. When we trust Mahadev, He gives us the comfort of knowing that He can work bad things out for our good. All your pain has a purpose. Shivas plans are almost always different from our plans, but His plans are always perfect! Have the patience to wait on His timing instead of forcing your own. Believe that his plans are not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You may feel like you’re going through this struggle all alone, but remember he will never leave you alone. He will be by your side to the end so never lose hope! Be courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for your Shiva is your rock, your support, and your saviour. He will never leave you, nor forsake! Har Har Mahadev ~ Boom Shankar!
Love, Peace & Many Blessings to all!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love Shiva and develop a relationship with him.

Love Shiva and develop a relationship with him. He deeply desires relationship with us and placed a hollow spot inside us that can be filled only by his Love. We want him because he wants us. He knows you inside and out, every bone of your body. He made you, bit by bit, from nothing into something. Understand how great is his love for you, and how much he protects his children. Shivas love, mercy, forgiveness and grace are revealed to us time to time. He wants your love too. No lies or game playing; just honesty and depth, sincere love and devotion. That's how we need to communicate with Mahadev and that's how we can develop a deep love for him. Friends talk things over. ‪ So talk everything over with Shiva with no formality. Tell him how you really feel and all about your hopes and dreams and disappointments. Sit down and tell him everything in your heart as if he is right there beside you listening to every word, desire to develop a love for HIM. Recognise how deeply HE loves you, reciprocate that love and delve in deeper with him. Can you resist someone who loves you so sincerely? Consider HIM your best friend. Share everything in your life with him until you realise that yes, he is the one whom you can rely upon. Loving Mahadev is very emotional, so open up and surrender your emotions to him and be ready to "feel" love - both his and yours!!! Jai Shiva Shankar ~ Jai Bholenath! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

THE MATRIKA MEN

THE MATRIKA MEN

“We are not a tribe of warriors,our chief is not a king. We are Shamans. We occupy ourselves in the worship of Matrika,the Primal Mother, dedicating our lives to understanding, respecting and participating with Her mysterious ways. We uphold all the life patterns and the weaves that She creates in all the forms of Her creatures. We have been blessed with some Shamanic techniques of reaching the spirit of all creatures, through the spirit of Ma, who is seated at the center of all. These techniques are the accumulations of centuries of Tapas and have been vouchsafed to us by our ancestors.For eight hundred years, we have not left our own surroundings for the city.."

I bow down to Lord Shiva, who is the creator and protector of the universe, who is the greatest among Gods, who has three eyes, who is the annihilator of all the three worlds, one whose throat is blue, who is the conqueror of death, who is the Lord of all, who is propitious who is possessed of all marks of greatness and who is the greatest among Gods. To him my prostration.

Happiness and Unhappiness are like two sides of scale which brings balance in our life.

Happiness and Unhappiness are like two sides of scale which brings balance in our life. Yes they must be valued and analyzed. We can’t only have one side that will unbalance our life. These both sides of scale are actually in our mind. In order to deal with misery we must take control of our mind and analyze so we can bring balance in our life.

Typically what we call happiness and misery are relative experiences. We should value both experiences but don’t only seek for just happiness, you will be in misery. We must seek for something higher than usual.

Do not remorse because you do not have what others or what you always want. There is No one in this world who has so called “a perfect life” only packed with happiness.

Remember what you deserve, you always will get it. What you don’t deserve, you don’t. So there is no point for worrying unnecessarily, because it will bring misery and not joy.

Misery is in our mind not outside. “I am miserable because this man did not love me. I am suffering because I did not get this. I am in pain because this man did not appreciate and thank me.” All these thinking and understanding is in our mind. Let it go and be happy for others and join in their happiness, you will find bliss.

"I meditate on Vishnu, the great soul, who gives all, who is present everywhere and who resides in the hearts of all creatures, my body is besmeared with ashes and my hairs have been clotted. All my vowed observances are intended for the adoration of Vishnu." ~ Lord Shiva in Garuda Purana. ‪Lord Shiva is a param yogi established in samadhi. Such a yogi becomes detached from all the material comforts of life and is established in eternal spiritual tranquility. Shiva is the supreme soul and lives like a total ascetic in constant meditation to avoid distractions of material life. Shiva always meditates on Shri Vishnu. Many references are found in Puranas. And It's written that one day in Kailash, while Shiva was in deep meditation, Maa Parvati calls him. And Shiva doesnt respond. And Maa Parvati just stood there watching him. And ultimately when Shiva opens his eyes, Parvati bows down with devotion and asks ~ I have a question. The whole world meditates upon you, everyone is praying to you, meditating upon you, contemplating you, upon whom are you meditating?” And Shiva replies, “I always meditate on Shri Vishnu. Shri Ram is always in my heart!" Jai Shri HariHar ~ Jai Shri ShankarNarayana 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sometimes Mahadev will wreck your plans. It's only because he sees your plans are about to wreck you. Good plans go up in flames, but only to be replaced by better plans. Trust Shiva.

NAMAH SHIVAYA!!

NAMAH SHIVAYA!!

Such is the beauty of Lord Shiva that you do not have to be a great scholar and expert in the scriptures, If you love Him, It is said even the taking of God's name is enough!!
Aum Namah Shivaya, is the greatest mantra.
In this worldly Sea the ancient Rishis found this as the best "Boat" that could take them across in the safest shortest way! and then passed it on for for us!

{Note: a lot of people ask if ॐ is spelled as OM or AUM? Both are correct. In english AUM is written only because it denotes the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep, jagrat, svapna and susupti. Ultimately the very essence of ॐ is to Denote the 4th state , called Turya. How we spell things does not matter, it is the love and devotion that pleases God.}

GIVE YOUR BEST TO WHATEVER IS BEFORE YOU:

GIVE YOUR BEST TO WHATEVER IS BEFORE YOU:

Recall when you were small. Did you not love those years when there was no homework, only toys, play and fun? Now there is lots of homework, exams and competition. If asked which time was better you would say “when we were small”. The fact is that a few years from now you will say this very school time was better than college. Later college was better than work. And so it goes on. Why am I making you conscious of these responses? So that you remember that nothing is permanent. It’s all moving. It’s all going. All you have is the present time. Therefore do all that you can now, to say later, “I gave it all my best and got the best.” Your school, your home, siblings, elders, your parents, teachers, school books and your support systems -- whatever is before you, are all going to change over a period. So value them. One day parents will have gone, family spread out, teachers retired, friends forgotten, health not as good as it is today, home changed, and so on. Therefore, understand that when nothing is permanent, all that is in your hands is to give your best to what is before you rather than regret that you didn't, later.

Nothing is designed to last forever only one real existence is Lord Shiva.

Nothing is designed to last forever only one real existence is Lord Shiva. Everything else is enigma for our human brain. Shiva teaches us to be simple and live simple, stay away from unnecessary attachments. Needless attachment brings more pain. Everything leaves us whether it’s our loved ones or materials we collected through our desires. One day we even end-up leaving our body. Nothing is real. Shiva humbly teaches us that the more things (mohmaya) you have the more trapped you are, until you leave your body. One day we all have to leave and go back to the ultimate source

God Shiva Son Murugan as Lord Swaminatha (Supreme of Teacher)

God Shiva Son Murugan as Lord Swaminatha (Supreme of Teacher)

Shiva was accredited with a peculiar penchant for earth, roaming its length and breadth in general, but preferring in particular its mountains, the Himalayas, as His abode.

“Shiva was accredited with a peculiar penchant for earth, roaming its length and breadth in general, but preferring in particular its mountains, the Himalayas, as His abode.
The Himalayas actually meant ‘The abode of snow’. They were noted for their majestic stature, always touching the sky; noted for their stunning beauty and their crisp air, as though preserving the pristinity of life itself.”
“Ironically, the other place where Shiva was said to visit frequently was where life ended: it was said He was always present at the cremation grounds. A presence as certain as the
lit-up pyres that devoured life. Some of them were actually named ‘Shiv Dhaam’—The sacred place of Shiva,”
Sid the wise sage Suta to

To love, and to be loved. And so the universe came into being.

They started meeting everyday. Each meeting was a greater happiness, a beautiful waking, which was surrealy dreamy. But Sati had stopped wondering if the dreamhad indeed come true.
She liked this dreamality. And so, another year passed in love and happiness. She would often ask Him things about spirituality, and hear His answers out with rapt attention.
“Tell me Shiva, what is the whole world play about? What is God, what is consciousness and what is its play?”
“In the beginning was only The One.
And He thought may I be two, may I be many.
To love, and to be loved.
And so the universe came into being.

The beginning is always Now. No matter what the history was, the rest of your life depends on what you do right now.

The beginning is always Now. No matter what the history was, the rest of your life depends on what you do right now. Life should be touched, not strangled. Sometimes you’ve got to relax and let life happen without incessant worry. Breath. You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going. Everything in life is in perfect order whether you understand it yet or not. It just takes some time to connect all the dots. You can’t go back to how things were, or how you thought they were supposed to be. All you really have is now. The smartest thing you can control in life is your reaction to what’s beyond your control. So stop focusing on what happened and start focusing on what’s going to move you forward. Everyone’s life has positive and negative aspects, whether you’re happy and successful or not depends greatly on which aspects you focus on.‪ The best thing you can do now is to let go of what you can’t control, and invest your energy in the things you can. Step out of your comfort zone and try something totally new. Variety truly is the spice of life. It will lift your spirits and your consciousness. Spend time with your good friends. There is no substitute for the few who truly improve you. These aren’t the people who are simply nice to you, they’re the ones who help you uncover the things that are holding you back. So this moment is the only moment guaranteed to you. You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past. So instead of dwelling on what happened earlier, or worrying about what might happen later on, just practice being and living in this moment. Right now is life. Live it, love it! Love, Light & Gratitude ~ Om Namah Shivaya ~ Jai Shiva Shankar!
Namaste Dear Friends ~ happy Friday! XxoO

Lord Shiva is the Supreme master of the Universe and the force of all creation and destruction.

Lord Shiva is the Supreme master of the Universe and the force of all creation and destruction. However he is very kind and benevolent and can be worshipped by anyone and everyone. Lord Shiva is also known as the ruler of the spirit world. He is the guardian of all living beings on earth and his divine presence exists everywhere around us. He is also the guardian of the spirit world and controls the souls of the dead and the wicked. This is why Shiva is also known as Bhootnath. He is regarded to inhabit the cremation grounds, covering Himself with the ash from the dead bodies.‪ This is a fearsome incarnation of Lord Shiva, who commands spirits and keeps them at bay, so that they don’t harm the living. Together with Goddess Kali, Lord Shiva resides in the shamshan or cremation grounds. Thats the reason he is known as the Shamshan Adhipati. Their fearful Bhairava and Bhairavi form also serve the same purpose. Lord Shiva prevents the beings of the spirit realm from negatively affecting the lives of the living. When people perform Shiva pooja, they can completely eliminate negative spiritual energy through Lord Shiva’s blessings. Deadly diseases can be cured and one can even be brought from the verge of death with Lord Shiva’s blessings. Jai Bhootnath ~ Jai Shamshan Adhipati!!

Lord Vishnu cover controversy: SC stays criminal proceedings against MS Dhoni

NEW DELHI, JANUARY 29: In a major relief for Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Supreme Court on Friday stayed the criminal proceedings against him in his case of allegedly 'denigrating' a Hindu god by posing as Lord Vishnu on the cover page of a magazine. Dhoni has also sought the transfer of the case against him from Anantapur to Bengaluru and the apex court has issued a notice on the same. The interim relief comes after a court in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh had issued a non-bailable warrant against the cricketer. In September last year, the Supreme Court had stayed the criminal proceedings against Dhoni and also issued notice to social activist Jayakumar Hiremath, who had filed the case against the cricketer. Dhoni had earlier approached the apex court seeking quashing of a criminal case against him in the Karnataka High Court for allegedly outraging religious sentiments for his portrayal of Lord Vishnu on a magazine cover. The Karnataka High Court, however, refused to quash the case, prompting Dhoni to file an appeal in the apex court. Meanwhile, Dhoni is currently touring in Australia in a five ODI and three T20 series against the hosts from January 12th to January 31st.

In the eyes of God you are very very precious. Respect yourself. You are Unique. No one can Replace you!

A man went to God and asked, "What's the value of life?"

God gave him one stone and said, "Find out the value of this stone, but don't sell it."

The man took the stone to an Orange Seller and asked him what it's cost would be.

The Orange Seller saw the shiny stone and said, "You can take 12 oranges and give me the stone."

The man apologized and said that the God has asked him not to sell it.

He went ahead and found a vegetable seller. "What could be the value of this stone?" he asked the vegetable seller. The seller saw the shiny stone and said, "Take one sack of potatoes and give me the stone."

The man again apologized and said he can't sell it.

Further ahead, he went into a jewellery shop and asked the value of the stone.

The jeweler saw the stone under a lens and said, "I'll give you 50 Lakhs for this stone." When the man shook his head, the jeweler said, "Alright, alright, take 2 crores, but give me the stone."

The man explained that he can't sell the stone. Further ahead, the man saw a precious stone's shop and asked the seller the value of this stone.

When the precious stone's seller saw the big ruby, he lay down a red cloth and put the ruby on it. Then he walked in circles around the ruby and bent down and touched his head in front of the ruby.

"From where did you bring this priceless ruby from?" he asked. "Even if I sell the whole world, and my life, I won't be able to purchase this priceless stone.

Stunned and confused, the man returned to the God and told him what had happened. "Now tell me what is the value of life, God?

God said, "The answers you got from the Orange Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweler & the Precious Stone's Seller explain the value of our life... You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but people may value you based on their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk taking ability. But don't fear, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value."

In the eyes of God you are very very precious. Respect yourself. You are Unique. No one can Replace you!

MAHAKAAL BHAIRAVA

MAHAKAAL BHAIRAVA

Then, Shiva commanded,“Get to Daksha! Kill all who come in your way of killing the vile Daksha. I want his head on my Trishula today. Even if a rishi or even if Vishnu or Brahma comes to His rescue, spare them not. Daksha’s end is here. It is going to be done. NOW!!”
“Jai Shiv Shanker Babham Bhayanker!” cried the ganas, and then added, “Jai Ho Veerbhadra!!”Narada noted that Shiva, in His darkest mood, had turned into a terrifying and almost sinister appearance, and yet he was the paradoxical hero. He moved like a one-man army getting ready to wreak havoc on all those who came in its way, and Narada was reminded of a cloud of locusts on rampage.

ALWAYS AT HIS DOOR

ALWAYS AT HIS DOOR

"Tell me something about Him at least!"
cried the seeker once more
"i have looked for Him half my life and all in vain"

"Shiv ke dwar khada sansar"
softly said the priestess of the east,
"He is the treasure of lifetimes,
speak not in measures of halves"
said the yogini of yore
"He is here forever more and
the world though knowing it not,
has always been at his door."

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.

Then again, 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'S EYES SMILE !

SHIVA'S EYES SMILE !

Even as an adolescent, Rudra 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.
His physical attributes were the epitome of paradox. His skin was wheat colored but lustrous; tight but fresh looking, like that of a young child. His hair was thick and matty, but had a well-groomed effect. He liked to wear it long and loose, and it was similar in character to the freefalling rush of His waterfall. His eyes were sharp. Not big, but piercingly magnetic.
Saraswati once remarked, “Rudra, you have this amazing quality; your eyes smile.” Saraswati was Brahma’s consort and hence Rudra’s mother. She was the Goddess of wisdom and art, and her observation acknowledged Rudra’s divine beauty.
He had a jawline which tapered His face into the perfect confluence of a resolute and compassionate man, which He actually was. The chin was measured to perfection. Neither too big to impose, nor too small to be missed. It sported a beautiful cleft, which, like His mysterious eyes, seemed to smile, complementing a dimple on His right cheek. His ears were small, and did not protrude as ears normally do.He wore earrings in them, which were stylish in their simple appearance; also tapered finely like the rest of His countenance. 

Dreams don’t just magically become realities, it takes a lot of determination, sweat, and hard work. Remember, tough times don’t last; tough people do. Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to march boldly through them.

Dreams don’t just magically become realities, it takes a lot of determination, sweat, and hard work. Remember, tough times don’t last; tough people do. Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to march boldly through them. If you have a strong commitment to your goals and dreams, and wake up every morning with passion to work toward them, anything is possible. Stand up for yourself. You can’t force people to show you respect, but you can refuse to be disrespected. Say what you need to say, do what you need to do, and don’t let anyone bully you into a corner. Forget the past, move on. Don’t stumble on something behind you. You are not a slave to your past. Let it go and move on. End all the hurtful relationships and Subtract the wrong things. When things aren’t adding up in your life, it’s time to start subtracting. ‪Sometimes you must let go to grow. Be brave. Follow your values. Make changes. And remember, nothing is ever a waste of time. The things that don’t work out teach you lessons that prepare you for the ones that do. Draw more close to HIM in tougher times, faith is relying on God's direction. Shiva is reliable. He knows what you need, and he wants to meet those needs. Unfortunately, we think we know better. We think we have a better plan. Trust him, ask him for guidance. You will become fearless. You will draw immense strength and courage from within, from him who is the indweller of all beings!

Namaste My Lovely Friends 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Lord Shiva is both form and formless, he is depicted as gentle, and also depicted as intense and terrifying. He is depicted as a she, and he is also depicted as a philosophy. Shiva is in everyone, everyone is in Shiva.

I do remember meditating with the Om Namah Shivaya Mantra once. During the meditation, I saw the face of Lord Shiva changing, and changing, hundreds, if not thousands of different faces in front of me, young, old, and I was overwhelmed.

Once we describe Shiva, or tell others about Shiva's personality, we instantly do not know Shiva. For in the very essence, Lord Shiva is infinite, and carries a more diverse line of adjectives and philosophy than we can ever imagine. Describing Lord Shiva is a mere shapshot of what is infinity. It is like looking at the universe and describing only one star out of the billions out there, and yet, the visible universe is finite and part and parcel of the infinite.

Lord Shiva is both form and formless, he is depicted as gentle, and also depicted as intense and terrifying. He is depicted as a she, and he is also depicted as a philosophy. Shiva is in everyone, everyone is in Shiva.

Shiva exists even before man discovered Lord Shiva, and yet, to discover Lord Shiva, one has to go through the process of realization, because it is through realization that we understand Lord Shiva. It is through doubt that we understand the philosophy, not faith. It is through inquiry that we understand the philosophy, not blind obedience.

A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you won’t find a fault with anybody.

A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you won’t find a fault with anybody. You are your own best friend as well as your worst enemy. But sometimes unhappiness comes in our life without an invitation. Sometimes our very precious attachment leaves us and makes us unhappy. We forget that everything in this universe has a lifespan. Scientists say even the universe that we live in is inherently unstable and has a lifespan. At some point, billions of years from now it will change and reform into a different state.
“What is it that dies? A log of wood dies to become a few planks. The planks die to become a chair. The chair dies to become a piece of firewood, and the firewood dies to become ash. You give different names to the different shapes the wood takes, but the basic substance is there always. If we could always remember this, we would never worry about the loss of anything. We never lose anything; we never gain anything. By such discrimination we put an end to unhappiness. ~ The sutras

THE MOUNTAIN GOD

THE MOUNTAIN GOD

Gods were said to be without desire, but He loved life!
Gods were timeless, but He was always contemporary, always in the present.
Gods were supposed to have some subtle form of body, or then none at all, but He was the most earthily magnetic mountain man.
Yet, legend insisted that He was no ordinary forest dweller.
“He is the Supreme, in the midst of all beings,” ancient Seers noted in their historic notes.

THE ABODE OF SNOW

THE ABODE OF SNOW

“Shiva was accredited with a peculiar penchant for earth, roaming its length and breadth in general, but preferring in particular its mountains, the Himalayas, as His abode.
The Himalayas actually meant ‘The abode of snow’. They were noted for their majestic stature, always touching the sky; noted for their stunning beauty and their crisp air, as though preserving the pristinity of life itself.”

Festivals usher welcoming and embraciveness.
When short of them, learn simply, to celebrate the birth of day.

No one dared to consume their little portions of the venom. Everyone was interested only in the ambrosia. You stepped forwards and consumed the whole of the venom, because it was of prime importance to you, that all must get ambrosia, even if it meant your death. Thereafter they realised, that you were ‘Mahadeva’ Lord amongst lords.

YOU STEPPED FORWARDS!

It is said, that once all the Gods and demons, realised that there was ambrosia in the Ocean. But they had to churn the Ocean for this ambrosia. Casting their differences aside, they made teams, and using a mountain for the churner, and Vasuki, the largest snake available, as a rope, they churned the Ocean. All was well, till they realised, that as a result of production of ambrosia, venom would also be produced, in sizeable quantity, by the vomiting of Vasuki, after such an ardous task. This too, had to be disposed by consuming, in accordance with the laws of Nature. No one dared to consume their little portions of the venom. Everyone was interested only in the ambrosia. You stepped forwards and consumed the whole of the venom, because it was of prime importance to you, that all must get ambrosia, even if it meant your death. Thereafter they realised, that you were ‘Mahadeva’ Lord amongst lords.

Shiva is static and dynamic and creator and destroyer. He is the oldest and the youngest. He is the source of fertility in all living beings.

शिव प्रातःस्मरण स्तोत्रम् - प्रातः स्मरामि भवभीतिहरं सुरेशं
In the early morning I worship Lord Shiva who is the medicine to destroy the disease of delusion of worldly life, and who is the one without a second.
Shiva is static and dynamic and creator and destroyer. He is the oldest and the youngest. He is the source of fertility in all living beings.

He is omnipresent and resides in everyone as pure consciousness. Shiva represents the aspect of the universe that cycle through the process of creation, preservation, dissolution and recreation. He represents mercy and compassion and protects people from evil forces such as lust, greed, and anger.

He grants favors and awakens wisdom.Everything that begins must also end. Nothing is destroyed but the illusion of individuality. The power of destruction associated with Shiva is purifying, on a personal and a universal level. Destruction opens the path for new creation, a new opportunity for the beauty and drama of illusion to appear.

The power or energy of Shiva is Shakti, his spouse. Shiva is inseparable from Shakti. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one consciousness and the absolute state of being.
Om Namah Shivaaya…

Shiva the lord of the lords “Mahadev”

Shiva the lord of the lords “Mahadev”
Shiva offers a resolution to all enigmas of existence through his mythic roles and actions which contrast, combine, and transcend life's dualities. When the demigods and demons were churning the Milk Ocean in order to obtain the nectar of immortality, the first substance produced was a powerful and dangerous poison, burning the entire world. The poison could have destroyed the entire manifested universe. They swiftly went looking for help to Lord Shiva. He drank the terrible poison to save creation and all living beings. Thus, they worshiped Lord Shiva and prayed, "Please save us! Only you can protect us!" Shiva means the supreme one, the auspicious one, the pure one and the beloved one. Shiva is named as Pashupati which means the Lord of all living beings either it is humans, devas, asuras or any creatures. Lord Shiva is the absolute which does not have any parents which never takes birth which is all alone without association with any of the creatures or creations enjoying in the Self. Hence He is the Lord of all creatures (lives/souls). Whether it is devas or asuras or humans or other creatures all are pashus. So anybody who worships the Lord sincerely could get blessed with Its Grace irrespective of the caste, creed, race, power, status and qualities.
