WHERE DO I BEGIN

WHERE DO I BEGIN 
Being someone who is totally immersed in Shiva's story, It was always my dream to be able to write and share this story as i saw it. But, when i actually sat down on my desk to do that,at first, I was overwhelmed by His infinite aspects: What could one write about Him, who is Timeless, Limitless and Boundless? And then, the question itself revealed the answer. One sure mark of Shiva, is that He is bound to Parvati. It is said of Shiva that He does not incarnate. Of Parvati's bhakti (devotion), it is said She is one who can make even Shiva incarnate.
He is Timeless, and yet when Parvati manifests, it is time for Shiva to arrive. He is formless, but when She arrives, He manifests form. She is His eternal soulmate, and they always find each other, through the mists of cosmic time, even through lifetimes; such is the magic of their love! For it is said, Parvati is His wife even from Her previous birth, when She was called Sati.
And I realised that behind the innumerable tales about Him,
at the core of the myriad roles that He plays out, Shiva's story,
is essentially a love story, over and over again. Years ago i used to listen to a song: Where do I begin,to tell the story of how great a love can be ...and i did realise that every story of love originates from Shiva, in fact the whole world has been created by him, simply, for love.
