SOMEWHERE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS

SOMEWHERE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS

Somewhere from the lofty mountain tops
comes silent but strong
a whisper
Shivo ham Shivo ham
the winds carry the song
of an ascetic Divine.

Shvo ham Shivo ham
From a timeless time you look for Him
who has always been thine!
singing his song from His heart
to yours and mine......
You look
for the coming of Him who has always been
both the seer
and the scene
He is always here,
seated on a mountain of love within.
listen now to him
singing His song Divine
The ancient one,
from His heart to thine
Shivo ham shivo ham

Swastika is an ancient religious symbol of auspiciousness in Hinduism, the Indian symbol of peace and continuity that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent. Its considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism and dates back at least 11,000 years and its spread can be traced to western and Middle-Eastern civilisations. A religious symbol for Hindus, the Swastika was first mentioned in the Vedas. It symbolises many things ; luck, Surya and Brahma, the creator. It is seen as a power symbol and is also the emblem of Ganesha, the god of good luck. In both Hinduism and Jainism, the Swastika is used to mark the opening pages of account books, doors and thresholds. Swastika is a symbol of good luck, prosperity and all things auspicious for other ancient cultures, including the Vikings and Greeks also. According to astrologers the right-handed Swastika brings prosperity, offers a shield against the four elements and signifies the four dharmas. The left-handed anti-clockwise swastika is destructive.
The swastika symbol is traced with the finger, with sindoor on the head or body during Hindu religious rites, and on doors on festival days - notably on diwali. It is painted on many vehicles and ESP trucks. In all these uses it is a lucky charm protecting from evil and attracting good.

It is also said to represent God (Brahman) in his universal manifestation, and energy (Shakti). It represents the four directions of the world (the four faces of Brahma). It also represents the Purushartha: Dharma (natural order), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). Among the Hindus of Bengal, it is common to see the name "swastika" applied to a slightly different symbol, which has the same significance as the common swastika. Right-facing swastika in the decorative Hindu form is used to evoke the Shakti. The Arya Samaj is of the opinion that 'Swastik' is 'OM' written in the ancient Brahmi Script.! 📿🕉✨🐘🌞🖌🎨🙏🏻

You are good enough, smart enough, fine enough, and strong enough. You don’t need other people to validate you, you are already valuable. ✨🌀🌟Namaste Lovely People. It's time for Wednesday Wisdom. 📿🕉📿 Yes, Don't try to show the world you are flawless in hopes that they will like you more. You can’t please everyone and you shouldn’t try either. Your beauty lies in your vulnerability, your complex emotions, and your authentic imperfections. Don't put a mask, and pretend what you are not. Just be who you are. Ignore the comparisons. The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday. Let go of the foolish need to prove yourself to everyone else. Prove yourself to yourself, not others. You don’t have to always be right, you just have to not be too worried about being wrong. And it's natural and OK to fail sometimes. You have to remember that it doesn’t matter how many times you fail or how messy your journey is, so long as you do not stop taking small steps forward. In the end, those who don’t care that failure is inevitable are the ones that reach their dream. And No one else really knows what’s best for you. Don’t lose yourself in your search for acceptance by others. Walk your path confidently. You have to take the steps that are right for you, no one else walks in your shoes. So Don’t change so people will like you, be patient, keep being your amazing self, and pretty soon the right people will love the real you!! Love, light and peace ~ Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Jai Bholenath!! 🙏🏻

The knower He is, of the unknown sign.

The knower He is,
of the unknown sign.
The Dancer of the Universe,
at the start of it all.
He is the poet and writer of the whole,
His single poem is the making of the world.
He is the keeper of our breath,
in this whirlwind space we call life.
He is Shiva the Lord, Mahadev,
the ONE we love,
the great God, Shiv.
"What is Below?” He says, "What indeed, Above?"
"You are all my own," He whispers softly,
the down-to-earth Ruler of the sky.
Aum Namah Shivaye!

TRANSPERSONAL DOERS

TRANSPERSONAL DOERS

Energy, cosmos, teamwork, participation; transpersonal doing. When we go to fly kites, thought the snake, we only hold the strings, and we forget it is the wind that raises them.
“Be like the wind, my friend”, said the Yogi, “it is a fine example of your transpersonal doer.”

Goddess Durga represents the power of the Supreme Being that preserves moral order and righteousness in the creation.

Goddess Durga represents the power of the Supreme Being that preserves moral order and righteousness in the creation. Maa Durga, also called Divine Shakti, protects mankind from evil and misery by destroying evil forces (negative energy and vices ; arrogance, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, greed and selfishness). She is depicted as a warrior woman with eight hands carrying weapons of different kinds assuming mudras, (symbolic hand gestures) that represent her teachings. Maa Durga riding a tiger indicates that She possesses unlimited power and uses it to protect virtue and destroy evil. The lion is a symbol of uncontrolled animalistic tendencies (such as anger, arrogance, selfishness, greed, jealousy, desire to harm others etc.) and Her sitting on it reminds us to control these qualities, so that we are not controlled by them. She is usually shown wearing a red sari. The color red symbolizes action and the red clothes signify that She is destroying evil and protecting mankind from pain and suffering. Red is also a colour of auspiciousness in Hindu religion. Maa Durga is adorned with red saree which symbolizes the divine powers, strength and victory over the negative forces of evil and wickedness. Red is also a colour of sensuality, love and femininity worn by brides. She represents pure energy (positive), known as divine light or jyoti that is the embodiment of feminine and creative energy.
