Lord Shiva is often depicted as a Sadhu with bare minimum accessories. Where other gods appear well decorated with divine ornaments, Shiva wears no such attire. He is a yogi who lives as an ascetic on Mount Kailash with his distinctive hairstyle known as Jatin, the one with matted hair. His long hair are as wound in the form of shell with long beard sometimes, typically as a sadhu. He covers his body with bhasma of the dead body and gives a message to the mankind that the body is mortal and perishable and one day it will dissolve in the soil. We should not be narcissistic for this corporeal body. Scientifically, Bhasma is known to seal the body pores. Once this happens, it is seen that the body does not get affected by cold or heat. Shiva teaches us to not get affected by outer circumstances and to not lose our inner peace, whatever may be the situation.

Sure life is always filled with stress. It may seem like there is always something that happens which encompasses our entire attention, and thus drain our positive energy. In our complex society, finding true peace becomes more like trying to find an oasis in the desert. But we all posses a third eye or so to say wisdom; it just needs to be awakened at the right time. At the time of crisis , when our senses fail to show us the correct path, this third eye comes to our rescue. It helps keep us away from danger if we awaken it or use our wisdom by being patient and using our understanding, instead of panicking and doing harm to ourselves. Do not let the negative energies to overpower yourself. Learn from Shiva to not allow the poison or the evil to enter the body. Whatever the situation, keep your mind calm. With a calm mind, we can face any kind of problem without getting jittery. And Hope is something you should never lose. With hope you always have a path towards peace. Whenever we get too stressed out and overwhelmed within our own life, we forget that the sun always shines after a rainy day, and that this is merely a bump in the road. Try to find immense peace in just knowing, deep within your heart, that everything will be ok. With hope, whatever is seemingly terrible, is only temporary and that soon enough, things will be just fine. This lifts off all of that negativity from your entire being, to make you feel pretty much better instantly.!! Love, Light & Peace ✨👁🕉📿🌀🔱💀⌛️🐍🌙⛰🐚🔔🍂🌳🎨✨
