Even a single line makes a Universe.

 

Shiva is a poet

And Shakti an artist

Whatever He sings

She paints into the canvas of the world.

Even a single line makes a Universe.

RETURN PLAN

 

RETURN PLAN

“When you lose a precious possession and then find it again after years, the pleasure you get by this ‘reunion ‘ compensates adequately ; Maybe even gives a mystic meaning to the period for which you were divested of it .” said Shiva as He came out of His meditation.

“ Yes, true!” Smiled Parvati.

“But what about relationships which are far more than mere material possessions? When someone you have known for quite a while , someone you care for, just walks away ,leaving you in a state of unrequited fondness, how would you receive them if they showed up as mysteriously one fine morning?” Continued Shiva, “And... how would they plan their return? “ He suddenly added a last part almost as an afterthought , but Parvati instantly knew this was what He had actually been pondering over in His morning Dhyana. She wondered if her Lord actually knew what all she had gone through and what all she had changed to appear in this re-incarnation.

IN LOVE AND JOY, NANDI BELLOWS

 

IN LOVE AND JOY, NANDI BELLOWS

The flight of Shiva is one that none can scale,

but Nandi knows.

The ride of Nandi is one that none can take

but Shiva knows.

And when Shiva dances for mother Parvati,

Nandi bellows!

loudly in love and joy, and dancingly bows.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

LIKE A CHILD

 

LIKE A CHILD

Worry not,

about this tumultuous stream called life

with all its sadness, all the strife

He will take you ashore like a child

He, who sits there always

waiting

to extend a helping hand

to you, who love God and life and all creatures alike.

Jai Ho!

When and how , will i know, you ask?

"Sam karoti, iti samkara"

says the Darsana of Kashmir,

He, who introduces you

to the sameness

of your own Self Divine

He , it is that is Siva

The Guru, Maheswaraye, together always , with Mata jaki Parvati ,

O Ganeshaye!

Namah Shivaye, Aum Namah Shivaye!

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

ONCE HE HAS YOU

 

ONCE HE HAS YOU

God works in mysterious ways , Often fulfilling what you would wish , especially to catch your attention. But once He has it, you should focus on what He would like.

It has been said He would like you to share love and kindness for His other children.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

BORN FREE

 

BORN FREE

God gave life for free

yet mankind extracted a huge fee, to let one live,

to let one be.

It's an endless debate, this talk of civilisation, order and technology,

just take a look at those you call jungle folk , and see,

Take a look at the birds springing in the sky,

and know that you breathe, but have lost the space to fly.

Running morning, running night,

running nine to five,

all in the name of life and identity.

Ah! but one look at the thousand windows in your society,

and you are lost again in the maze of globality.

But it's not your fault ,

" You were never shown the alternate reality," He smiles,

and now it is time to connect with your own Divinity,

you were born free, born free.

~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.
