“The curious mind, which has, so far, identified itself with its conditioning, thoughts, and own conceptions, yearns to transcend itself, to know the truth about the truth, to reach the unreachable. Meditation, is a step to introduce this mind to the truth. "

THE DEEP HYPNOTIC GLANCE
THE DEEP HYPNOTIC GLANCE
Shiva, the Yogi,
ever immersed in Shiva,
the Tattva, we call Bhagvan.
Meditating upon pure consciousness,
devoid of any form
and yet,
and yet so in love with Tattva as Parvati!
She, who is devoted from the moment she is born
making too the mightiest meditator understand
God is both!
Nirguna and in Saguna,
In Yin and in Yang,
for such is the very stillness and the dance
the posture and the stance
of Shakti and her eternal Lord , Shaktimaan.
Ah, The deep hypnotic glance..
..gateway to Mahadeva's trance.

"He alone will be happy who has the disposition that he needs no more. If desires are allowed to multiply all the objects in the world will not suffice to meet the needs of even one man. Hence one should give no quarter to greed."
"He alone will be happy who has the disposition that he needs no more. If desires are allowed to multiply all the objects in the world will not suffice to meet the needs of even one man. Hence one should give no quarter to greed."
Lord Rama..his name, which is more powerful than an arrow. Chant and do Namasmaran. Do it anywhere, anytime. You dont need anything for it.
Ram Se Bada Ram Ka Nama! Yes, Lord Rama..his name, which is more powerful than an arrow. Chant and do Namasmaran. Do it anywhere, anytime. You dont need anything for it. The complete principle of Lord Rama is contained in His name, and as your namasadhana becomes rigourous, the principle starts imbibing itself into you, at the end there remains no difference between you and Him. Darshan is a one time experience while Namasmaran is a lifetime process ending in the sadhak losing his ego and personality into his deity. The word Ram is an embodiment of bliss and salvation. Ram mantra is considered to be Taraka mantra. The word 'taraka' means the one that helps us cross. It helps us cross the ocean of 'samsara'. It helps us cross the cycles of birth and death. If it is chanted as 'Rama', then it is a Nama. If it is chanted 'Ram', then it is a Mantra. "There are two powerful 'araka Namas'. One is Om and another is Ram. All mantras have to be prefixed with Om for obtaining the benefits of those mantras, whereas there is no need to prefix Om when the name 'Ram' is recited because the name itself is 'Tarka Namam'. Lord Shiva himself mediates on Rama Naam. He whispers “Ram" in the ears of his dear devotees to liberate them! "Ram Nam Satya Hai" ~ “The name of Ram is truth (Breath)” is chanted by Hindus while carrying a dead body to the cremation. This recitation implies that the dead body no longer sustains the Truth (Breath) which is Ram Nam. The dead body devoid of the breath or Ram Nam has no value whatsoever.! Sins are completely washed away by the utterance of all Namas BUT IT IS ONLY 'RAMA NAMA' THAT SHIELDS AGAINST SINS IN THE FUTURE ALSO.! Jai Sri Rama ~ Shivaya Namah Har Har Mahadev!
Never Give Up. Keep going!
Never Give Up. Keep going! Even though things don't work out just the way you want them to be or the results are not up to the expectations. Do your best, wait the result in peace! Suffering comes when we expect the rewards. In Bhagawat Geeta also it says -"You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty!" Desires will cloud the joy. When you do your duty selflessly, without desiring for reward, you achieve inner fulfilment. Do your duty in the spirit of offering to the lord. This helps you grow in the awareness that you are the instrument of God and that he is working through you. When we perform duties with delight, when deeds are dedicated to the lord, action is fused with yoga, the world becomes a garden of peace and harmony. And that is pure bliss! Peace ~ Jai Mahadev Mahadevi ~ Jai ShankarParvati!!
Shubh Prabhat ~ Namaste!
What thoughts does this Divine picture of Shiva dancing bring to your mind?
what thoughts does this Divine picture of Shiva dancing bring to your mind? i will be giving my version in the late afternoon..
thank you all for your truly wonderful comments and insights..
In the absolute, before the world is created, God rests in pure consciousness as ONE. but once the world is made, it is said they descend to this marvelous prithvilok..to share with us.. to play with us..to be by our side..and then...in these manifestations of theirs in our world....

The Gods, are human too.
they have family too
they celebrate too
they sing
they dance
they make merry too.
One of the greatest insights of the ancient Rishis was Vasudeva Kutumbakam- The world is one big family. Essentially the many Gods in Hinduism are just to show the infinite aspects and attributes of God.But even if we think of Krishna and shiva as two different people, even then, they are a Family. This is the central understanding of the wise Rishis: all things are interconnected. And no thing can really isolate itself from the other. All the leelas of our Gods are brimming with examples of other Gods entering the play. Where there is Ram, there is Shiv, when krishna is born Shiv goes all the way from Kailash to have His darsana, and so on. This one interconnectedness, the shaivites beautifully understand and paint as a joyous dance of Shiva. So too, at the highest bliss of Dhyana, one can actually see all things, all elements, all beings , all Gods dance as one.This beautiful picture , therefore , to me , at the simplest level shows that Gods, are Human too! Somewhere in the lofty peaks of the Himalayas , a gathering of the Gods is on, and Shiva entertains His family by dancing centre stage. Ganeshji is quick to literally follow the footsteps of His Father, raising his hand in blessing.May All beings be happy, May all beings dance in the happiness of God's proximity and love. Aum Namah Shivaye!
