Shiva Tandav - The dancing Shiva

The Cosmic Dance of Shiva

an integral part to Indian mythology is the mention of the cosmic dance that was performed by Shiva on this auspicious night. Also, known as Tandava, this dance symbolizes the everlasting cycle of creation, conservation and demolition. The Tandava dance was performed by the supreme deity to maintain the cosmic balance. It is also said that he performed it after the demolition of demon Tripura signifying the triumph of good over evil.

Lord Shiva-The Savior

Another enchanting tale is of the churning of ocean (Samudra Manthan) by the Gods and Demons to get the elixir of immortality (Amrut). During such occurrence, ‘Halahala’ – the deathly poison emerged. Its emergence was threatening as it slowly was engulfing the whole universe in darkness. Lord Shiva at this crucial time, drank the poison to save the universe. This selfless act earned him the title of “Neelkantha” or the one with blue throat. Mahashivratri celebrates the transition from darkness to light and honors Shiva as the savior of the universe.

The tale of Linga

The Shiva Linga finds its mention in the Hindu mythology and is of great significance. The Linga signifies the limitless power and aura of Lord Shiva that transcends into something that is beyond any form or attributes. It’s vast, shapeless and infinite. According to the ancient texts, once when there rose a conflict between Vishnu and Brahma over supremacy, Shiva appeared before them as a formless ray of light known as Jyotilinga. Shiva instructed them both to find the source and the end of that beam. He promised to declare the one who would succeed to do so as supreme. Taking the form of a swan Brahma flew upwards. On the other hand, Vishnu turned himself into a boar and tried looking for the other end by going downwards. After relentless search when both of them failed to find the source and the end, they realized that Shiva is nothing but infinite. Soon after which, Shiva Linga was considered as a source of infinite power. Since it was the first time on the 14th day of the Phalgun month that Lord Shiva exhibited himself in the form of the Linga, the day is celebrated as Mahashivratri as it is considered to be very auspicious.

The Mystique take of Ganga

An ancestor of Lord Rama, King Sagar after successfully performing the AshwamedhaYajna for the 99th time, sent his horse to take another round around the earth so that he could complete his 100th round of sacrifice. Indra the king of God was jealous of his success and so during his last round he notoriously captured the horse. This horse was then kept in the hermitage of Kapila Muni. Sixty thousand princes were thus sent from Ayodhya to look for the horse. On reaching Kapila Muni’s hermitage, they found the horse and soon mistook him as a thief. Displeased by such behavior, Kapila Muni burnt them into ashes. Hearing about this, one of the grandchildren of King Sagar, Bhagirath begged Kapila Muni for a solution. To which he said that only the waters of Ganga could bring back them to life. King Bhagirath kept meditating after leaving his kingdom for more than thousand years. Pleased by his devotion to request Ganga to come down to the Earth, Brahma granted Bhagirath’s wish. But the weight of the Ganga River could only be sustained by Lord Shiva. So, King Bhagirath meticulously started praying to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva instantly laid down his hair so that Ganga could flow through it. That is how the holy waters of the river washed away the ashes of those sixty thousand princes and released them from the curse so that they could go to the heavens. The holy ceremonial bathing of the Shiva Linga on the day of Mahashivratri from then has been a tradition. On the occasion of Mahashivratri devotees also take a holy deep in the waters of Ganga as it is considered as one of the attributes of Lord Shiva.

When asked by Goddess Parvati about his favorite day, Shiva joyously replied saying that he likes it when it’s the full moon night. This happens to be on the 14th day of the Phalgun month. From that day onwards, devotees all around the world indulge in celebrating the Mahashivratri. Additionally, in some of the texts there is a mention of Shiva’s desire to be worshipped in a specific way by his devotees. He specifies the use of ‘Bel’ leaves for his worship. To him, the leaves of Bel is more precious than any jewels in the world. Furthermore, Lord Shiva explains the correct way to worship him which includes the process of using milk, curd, clarified butter and honey to bathe him. The ritual should continue till the next morning and the devotee must feed the Brahmins in the morning and then break his fast. His words spread through Goddess Parvati and since then people around the world are seen to celebrate his glory by fasting, performing the ceremonial bath and also by offering a lot of Bel leaves.

5 incredible ways to stay happy in your life

Happiness is precious. Happiness is essential for healthy, peaceful, positive, & successful life. Staying happy is your true asset and achievement. Here are few habits to incorporate in your everyday life to attain happiness.

  • Forgiveness: The meaning of ‘forgiveness’ changes depending on the fact that if the person seeking forgiveness really wants it or not. One situation is the forgiveness seeker is Guilty of a wrong past deed. Second situation is the forgiveness seeker is not feeling Sorry by heart, it’s just an excuse to escape from the situation. In either case, you should grant forgiveness because it will bring happiness to you and your heart will feel relaxed. The same concept applies to you if you are seeking forgiveness. If you are not sincere, it will hurt you because you’re not lying to the other person, in fact you are lying to yourself.
  • Acceptance: The meaning of Acceptance is to face the situation the way it is with a stable mindset. This way you would be able to find solution. You must try to accept the situation without attempting to change the situation, protest that situation, or exit from that situation.
  • Compassion: The word Compassion is a human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, this feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another’s suffering. It is often, though not inevitably, the key component in what manifests in the social context as altruism. Be compassionate towards others.
  • Trust: The base of everything in this world is Trust. It means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur. If we can surround ourselves with people we trust, then we can create a safe present and a better future. Be trustworthy, never break anyone’s trust.
  • Unconditional Love: Let’s understand this with an example. I love you as you are, as you seek to find your own special way to relate to the world, or the way you feel that is right for you. It is important that you are the person you want to be and not someone that I or others think you should be.

Meditation – the power booster of your mind

Meditation is the powerful link that channelize our mind not to indulge in  senseless things, and utilize strength of your mind power for mankind and positive opportunities. A mind without Meditation, you will have the tendency to move towards downstream tasks that really do not use mind power, the way water flows itself downstream. This way, the mind will be move towards regression because the mind is designed to be use & to utilise its caliber. Meditation is the power booster of your mind.

Let’s see how to channelize our mind for positive opportunities. Have you ever seen a wild elephant? Okay, not in reality, but in videos, you must have seen a wild elephant. It is so powerful to harm anyone and now let’s think if you start giving training to the wild elephant, then you have the caliber to channelize the powerful energy of a wild elephant for the positive opportunities. Understood? Okay, let me elaborate with a simple example of load lifting. The trained powerful wild elephant can help in load lifting and save huge amount of our time & energy. That’s the same way your mind works. A meditating & connecting mind is like a trained elephant.

You need a forceful pull-up of water using a water pump to allow water to flow upwards. Exactly, your mind needs a pull-up force that only Meditation can give to flow upwards towards positive opportunities.

You all have natural God-gifted energy, and if you do not utilise it in positive manner, this God-gifted mind power gets wasted in degrading tasks. Meditation just works like a water lifting pump to channelize our mind power for positive opportunities.

You must ensure that mere achievement of mind power should not be the goal. You need to ensure that mind power is utilising in positive opportunities & positive outcomes &  wasted in illogical stuff.

Let me explain this important point with a very simple example of our daily life – Water (an irreplaceable factor). The steam generated during cooking the food is of almost no use to run a steam engine. You need to boil water under high pressure to run a steam engine.

Let’s think about another integral part of our life. Can you guess? The Sun. When Sun rays comes on the earth daily, it gives heat & light for our survival. But if you concentrate Sun rays using a magnifying glass, the concentrated heat energy is powerful to burn a piece of paper lying under the magnifying glass. Similarly, Heat Energy of Sun is enough can be so destructive to burn a jungle.

You need to understand that for which goal you wish to channelize your mind power – for meaningless accomplishments (which ultimately will not yield any positive outcome) or for the powerful positive energy by concentrating on a positive opportunities. Focus on your goal and start Meditating today to harness the power of your mind.

 

How Yoga suddenly boosts your Spirituality in life?

Yoga & Spirituality

I would like to discuss the most ancient, most needed, & most neglected (unfortunately) aspect of the modern life these days – Yoga & Spirituality. Yoga means union, to join or conjunction. What an astonishing word it is- ‘union’. When an enlightened teacher and a worthy disciple unite, the making of an Arjuna becomes inevitable. If Lord Krishna and Arjuna had not come together, we would not have faced the divine ‘Srimad Bhagwad Gita’. Had Adam and Eve not united, the world wouldn’t have faced the beginning of civilization.

When the soul meets the almighty, the enlightenment ensues. In Indian philosophy the union of Manasa, Vacha, Karmana implies that one should strive to achieve the state where one’s thoughts, speech and the actions coincide. So, transform your thoughts into words and turn your words into action. If thoughts, speech, and actions were to connect together, there would surely be a heaven on Earth.

 

Meditation – an ultimate source of inner exploration

Meditation is a concentration technique that transforms an imbalanced state of mind into a balanced state. Our mind often faces lots of turbulence such as sadness, sorrow, anger, revenge etc. which is harmful for one’s self and to the others also. A constantly troubled mind becomes skeptic or disturbed. After attaining this stage, a person is neither able to make right decisions (judgments) nor can interpret the things in true perspective. The ultimate solution to come out of such a chaotic & troubled situation is Meditation.

Meditation is the process of collating unorganized current of thoughts and focuses them on a meticulous goal. If we practice Meditation, meditation will free up our mind from senseless daydreaming and channelizes the energy of our mind to focus Self inner exploration.This is the same thing what a person does during ‘Saadhna’ while meditating for God. The pure aim of meditation is to calm down the mind & flush out it of its inclination, controlling the mind by averting it (our mind) from the attack of lust, grief, severe anger, disproportionate rapidity, constant tough desires for new achievement etc. It’s a famous saying that the person, who can control the mind, can surely control the world. Meditation is the efficient method for cooling down and controlling the mind.

Why should we ring temple bells?

All the Hindu people visiting temple rings the temple entry big bell and the small bells hanging in front of deities as an offering to Supreme Lord. Especially kids are fascinated by the temple bells & they want to ring every bell of the temple. When kids’ small hands cannot reach the hand, so parents help them ringing the bell by taking them in lap & high up.

As per Hindu culture, temple bells are usually made of Brass & the sound of brass bell keeps the evil powers and negative energies away from the temple, and the sound of brass bell keeps the surroundings calm.

Let’s see the scientific reasons behind ringing temple bells.

The scientific reason behind this ringing temple bells is that the sound of brass bell removes all the bad thoughts from our mind and helps us in maintaining concentration on the Lord. The shapes of the temple bells are created in such a way that it unites our right & left part of our brain. As the bell rings, a quick & continuing sound echo for seven seconds. This interval of seven seconds activates all the seven healing points of our human body.

The result of this whole process makes our brain free from all the negative thoughts, we start feeling better in a calm & peaceful environment.

The resonance of temple bells is at a higher frequency that creates the aura of divine consciousness & we feel connected to Supreme Lord.
