WHO CAN KNOW THE ORIGIN OF SHIVA?

 

“One thing that stood out clearly in the descriptions, was that there was much paradox about Him. The moment anyone thought they understood one aspect of Him, immediately another would come and juxtapose itself in contrast. And that was the way He was known by most people: As the greatest enigma in the pantheon of the hindu Gods,” continued Suta.



“Truly Gurudeva, Shiva is a great enigma,” said Shaunaka.
“Yes,” Suta continued, “No one was ever sure of His antiquity, or His antecedents; none knew who His parents were, or if He was actually a sibling to the Vedic Gods. Some said He was Brahma’s son, others asserted He was Swayambhu, the Self-created, who, after manifesting Himself, in fact, created Brahma also.”
“So what is the truth, Gurudeva? Who created who?”
“No one could know for sure,” said Suta. “Every search for Him spiraled into a concentricity of a higher realm. Even after hearing about Him endlessly, one would come back to the same mystery.” Shaunaka noticed that Suta was gently spinning his own head in a circle as if to signal the concentric nature of Shiva.
“What was His story, really? Where were His origins? Why was He called Rudra the terrible, in one breath and also Pasupati, Lord of all creatures, in another?” Suta looked at Shaunaka piercingly.
“His one thousand and eight other epithets that had astounding ramifications in their tributes, left so many tracks to follow.
He seemed to be all-pervasive.
This Omnipresence had a magical effect; it veiled Him.”
“That is so amazing!” exclaimed Shaunaka. “Omnipresence is the very magic that veils God. If we are in the midst of a thing too much, we don’t register it. Like air!”
"Yes. God has been with us always, right from the beginnng of tme, right from when He made this world for us."

A modern storytelling by shaivite author Shail Gulhati about the Great God Shiva.

When is it possible to actually get God to accept your gifts?

 

AUM NAMAH SHIVAYE.

Dear friends and Shiva bhakts,
this is an amazing pic from the net. A bhaktin does Abhishek of a Shivalinga somewhere near the banks of a holy river town- probably Haridwar or Rishikesh, and we note that Lord Shiva virtually pops up to give blessings. Her efforts have born fruit. But we also see something startling: Shiva is drenched with the potions of the Abhishek!

Is this possible? Can an offering on a stone image thousands of miles away actually reach a chosen personage? Practically speaking, this is an impossibility, a type of wishful thinking.

But we in India, have long had the tradition of sharing even our food with our God first in a similar manner, and we call this 'Bhog lagana'- 'To make God partake in our feast, knowing that all comes from Him anyway', and because according to the ancient rishis, anything was possible for God,we would do well to understand that this painted scene means to convey a higher message:

When you do something with your body and mind and also pour your soul into it, when Namah Shivaye becomes Mano Shivaye, Tano Shivaye, Dhano Shivaye, metaphorically speaking, ' Shiva is drenched with your love' . He can no longer resist giving you His Darsana.When you offer Him everything you have, your body ( karma)  your mind ( gyana) , and your very soul ( raja yoga) , knowing that all these come from Him, then your worship with the combination of all these  blossoms into a great Bhakti bhava, and Shiva ,who is Aashotosh, ( easily  pleased ), will come to your very doorstep. His Idol in your heart and mandir both, will begin to shine with a divine luminescence for ever after.

Aum Namah Shivaye!

GURUHOPPER

 

GURUHOPPER

Like your friend the grasshopper ,you deem

that the grass isn’t always green.

But don’t be a Guru hopper

don’t be a person who changes one Master

for another - just, to ‘change the scene’

While change maybe fashionable,

even desirable in the world of style,

in matters of the Divine it isn't keen,

Because, essentially ,the Divine

is about the CHANGELESS, you see what I mean !

~ From the book 'And life said ' by Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

Shiva was magnificent.

 

And then, one day, Shiva appeared.

He was magnificent.

Tall, and beautifully chiseled. His chest was large and firm.

A cobra wrapped around His neck was peering down at this chest, as if he had being doing that for an eternity.

Sensing Sati’s presence, the cobra arose swiftly from what seemed a blissful slumber, and darting out a forked tongue, he looked at her with hypnotic eyes, putting her into almost a magical spell.

A greater happiness, a beautiful waking.

 

 

They started meeting everyday. Each meeting was a greater happiness, a beautiful waking, which was surrealy dreamy. But Sati had stopped wondering if the dream had 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.

( From the new book SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller. )

वे रोज मिलने लगे। हर मुलाकात एक बड़ी खुशी थी, एक सुंदर जागरण, जो वास्तव में स्वप्निल था। लेकिन माता सती ने यह सोचना बंद कर दिया था कि क्या वाकई सपना सच हो गया था। उन्हें यह सपना पसंद आया। और इस तरह, एक और साल प्यार और खुशी में बीत गया। वह अक्सर उनसे आध्यात्मिकता के बारे में बातें पूछती थीं, और बड़े ध्यान से उनके उत्तर सुनती थीं। “बताओ शिव, सारा संसार क्या खेल रहा है? ईश्वर क्या है, चेतना क्या है और उसकी लीला क्या है?” "शुरुआत में केवल एक ही था। और उन्होंने सोचा कि क्या मैं दो हो सकता हूं, क्या मैं कई हो सकता हूं। प्यार करो और प्यार पाओ। और इसलिए ब्रह्मांड अस्तित्व में आया।

SHIVA MAHAPURANA

 

SHIVA MAHAPURANA

“Tell us about Shiva, the mountain God, respected Sutji,” Shaunaka would implore the master.

“There was a time when Shiva Himself told His story to the forest dwellers, and Vyasa, the bard, used his prolific skill to record the self-revelations of the Divine One." Replied rishi Suta.

" I see Master" said Shaunaka.

" Yes, and this is how Shiva would tell the rishis of his own previous incidents. Through generations of the rishi's children and the forest dwellers, the constant retelling of these narratives of the great forester came to be called the Shiva Mahapurana.

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

 

PARVATI ASKS NANDIJI ABOUT MAHADEV

One day, before She was married to Shiva, Parvati asked Nandi to tell her about His habits.

“Why do you ask?”

“Oh, because I have so many notions of Him; so much I have heard, so much I have been told, and so much I feel intuitively. I want to know what is what with Him. So that I may serve Him well, for the rest of my life.”

SHAMSHAN NATH AGHORA

Aghoras were the earliest and foremost Shamans to whom absolutely nothing mattered, other than proximity to their Lord Shiva, at all times.
