UMAPATI NATH

 

UMAPATI NATH

Parvati loves it when Shiva Himself teaches all the seeking children about Shiva. In Kashmir Shaivism,we know about Shiva the yogi and Shiva the Tattva. While we are all made of Shiva tattva, because that is primal Consciousness itself-Omkaar,niraakar; However it is Parvati's husband, (Umapatinath) Shiva the yogi, who knows Shiva tattva the most. Himself awake to Turiya, the God conscious state, He helps all others to reclaim their Divinity.

Aum Namah Shivaye. Jai Jagad ambe Ma.

A CELESTIAL BREEZE

 

A CELESTIAL BREEZE

Over and over again He has created

world after world

in His Divine heart and sketching it with His mind,

so that you may your own divinity find.

Mahadeva knows who to keep

and who to release

what to keep fluid

and what to freeze,

for another time, another world,

and a gentle kiss blown ,unleashes a celestial breeze.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

THE WORLD PLAY IN TWO ACTS

 

THE WORLD PLAY IN TWO ACTS

When Mahadevi creates the world with the vision of Mahadev, alongside Oceans and mountains and wonderous landscapes , jiva is also born. This jiva, who is full of mala ( A hypnotic dirt created by Mahadevi's maya, which makes him forget his own source) , starts 'experiencing' every aspect of life , ( bhoga), and there is a lot of enjoyment , but eventually, the world as he knows it, stalls.

The world as he knows it, stalls, and he falls ,like arjuna at the battlefield. He starts looking for new meaning, he starts looking for a

higher power, greater purpose, he starts looking for God.

And krishna the friend becomes Krishna the teacher.

saying ' when the world as you have known it, falters

and nothing seems right, then O friend , i manifest , like the phoenix , to give you flight'

THE FATHER

 

THE FATHER

He has everything within Him.

Yet, He creates us.

This,

is Shiva Mahadev.

This, is the father for whom we have a reverential respect,

And untold, unending love.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

FOR YOU ARE THAT

 

FOR YOU ARE THAT

Ah your effervescent delight!

behold the most beautiful in existence

O Parvati, sieze this scene of the eye

in the heart centre

of your own sigh.

For you are that

which you behold!

know this , and bless this sky.

Namah Shivaye Aum Namah Shivaye!

' Shiva poetry ' by Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

Derived from The Yog dharanas of Vijnanbhairava, Shiva’s talks to Parvati.

God loves innocence much more than knowledge.

 

Here's the thing:

God loves innocence much more than knowledge.

NOT ME ALONE IN MY TRANCE

NOT ME ALONE IN MY TRANCE

In His dream,

we are all awake.

But, as He awakens,

slowly, we fade.

Where is everyone? “Where is everyone”, He cries

The woods are there, lovely, dark and deep,

and He knows these woods are His

Then, where is His mate? Where are the kids?

"This time" He swears, " I'm going to make sure everyone exists,

no pralaya any more, when i open the third;

I shall awaken together with the children,

the trees and the birds, to dance" He resounds:

Not me alone again, in my trance.

YOUR WAVES OF BLISS

 

YOUR WAVES OF BLISS

Shiva the Yogi immersed in the Chintan of Shiva the Tattva:

God is the fabulous engineer who keeps building life,

Yuga after Yuga after Yuga.

But this too, is done not in a dry one time mathematical manner,

but lucidly poetic waves of bliss.

And ah! who can know your waves of bliss

those endless trips,

for no pot can hold the ocean,

and so, we simply wait our turn as you set the motion.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

 

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

Mahadeva Shiva and Nandiji walk in calmly to a temple where a reception awaits them. There is no honour, joy or festivity that Shiva partakes without Nandi.

And the same is true for the Bull of bulls, the top Gana:

There is no sorrow in which he lets his Lord be alone.

Jai Shiv Shambho Jai Nandi Maharaj.
