Parvati taught the Sapt Rishis

PARVATI TAUGHT EVEN THE SAPT RISHIS HOW TO WORSHIP SHIVA- पारवती ने सप्तऋषियों को भी सिखाया भगवान् शिव से सीखा आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान अवं शिवलिंग रहस्य SHIVLINGA AND SHIVA ROOPAM One day, Sati said to her Lord, “I fell in love with you even before I saw you,” She added. “The wood of this soul started to prepare itself to burn for you from the very time I saw a Shivalinga. I did so love the Shivlinga, and now I love you so much as Shiv Shanker, the handsome mendicant, who is my husband! My Swami, My Lord! Mine and only mine! She said happily."The Shivlinga can belong to all, but you, belong to me!” She looked at Him and then added,“Tell me more about the Shivlinga being your representation” Shiva smiled. “The Shivlinga means many things at many realms, each true for that level of subtlety. It is a symbolic representation of absolute transcendence, Omkaar, the impersonal God leading to a spiritual understanding of supreme consciousness.” “I see.” “Whereas, in my Yogi roop,” Shiva continued, “Worshippers consider the immanence of God personified; the personal God, you know, the one with all the stories and folklore they sing of.” “Yes. There are so many stories about you!” said Sati. “It is how the ancient rishis conceived God in His unborn, invisible form as the Shiva Lingam. It is worshipped equally popularly as the Image of my own self, or as me!” said Shiva "As i said, it means different things to people of different levels of understanding. The paramount understanding is this:“The Shivlinga means to convey that the transcendent or formless God, called nirakaar pervades the manifest world as immanence or God with form- sakaar ,” Shiva continued. “Oh,” said Sati." I understand now, God is both formless and with form" Later , when the Saptrishis tried to test Parvati for her spiritual knowledge, she shared with them all the right methods of worshiping the Shivlinga as a param bhaktini.

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.

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।

IN PRAISE OF THE UNKNOWN SHIV GANAS- अज्ञात शिव गणों की स्तुति में...

Shamshan Nath was no ordinary Gana . He belonged to the Aghora sect. The most elite but also most terrifying guard of Shiva. It comprised of some Ganas from Himachala,Tibet and Mahachina, and others from the unknown reaches of the mountains called Shambala.

Aghoras were the earliest and foremost shamans to whom absolutely nothing mattered other than proximity to their Lord Shiva, at all times.
To be chosen into this guard was indeed a rare honour for a boy from the plains.
“Arise shamshan nath” , Shiva had said ever so gently. it is you who shall prepare for my arrival into the current life cycle. When Shiva clasped his shoulders to shake his disbelief, Shamshan Nath felt as though a thousand bolts of lightning from a sky of knowledge and power had entered him. It indeed had. It was called pervesa, the pervasion of gnosis.
Shiva had this generous habit: he gifted his attendants the powers to be almost Shiva themselves. Gorakh Nath, balak Nath, were just a few of the people, who, if they wanted, could conjure all three worlds from their magic bags.
But Not once, in known history, had the Ganas , ever misused their power.

अज्ञात शिव गणों की स्तुति में...

शमशान नाथ कोई साधारण गण नहीं थे। वह अघोरा संप्रदाय से संबंधित थे। सबसे कुलीन लेकिन शिवजी का सबसे भयानक रक्षक भी। इसमें हिमाचल, तिब्बत और महाचिना के कुछ गण शामिल थे, और अन्य शंभला नामक पहाड़ों की अज्ञात पहुंच से थे। अघोर सबसे शुरुआती और प्रमुख शमां थे जिनके लिए हर समय अपने भगवान शिवजी से निकटता के अलावा कुछ भी मायने नहीं रखता था। इस गार्ड में चुना जाना वास्तव में मैदानी इलाके के एक लड़के के लिए एक दुर्लभ सम्मान था। "उठो शमशान नाथ", शिवजी ने कितनी कोमलता से कहा था। यह आप ही हैं जो वर्तमान जीवन चक्र में मेरे आगमन की तैयारी करेंगे। जब शिवजी ने उनके अविश्वास को झकझोरने के लिए उनके कंधों को पकड़ लिया, तो शमशान नाथ को ऐसा लगा जैसे ज्ञान और शक्ति के आकाश से बिजली के एक हजार बोल्ट उनमें प्रवेश कर गए हों। यह वास्तव में था। इसे परवेसा कहा जाता था, सूक्ति का प्रसार। शिवजी की यह उदार आदत थी: उन्होंने अपने परिचारकों को लगभग स्वयं शिवजी होने की शक्तियाँ प्रदान कीं। गोरख नाथ, बालक नाथ, ये कुछ ही ऐसे लोग थे, जो चाहते तो अपनी जादुई झोली से तीनों लोकों को जादू कर सकते थे। लेकिन ज्ञात इतिहास में एक बार भी गणों ने अपनी शक्ति का दुरूपयोग नहीं किया है।

THE ARRIVAL OF TIME- समय का आगमन

 

THE ARRIVAL OF TIME

One day, She asked Shiva,“When are we going to wed?”

“Whenever you wish,” He replied. “Today?”

“Haha! Not today my Lord!” Sati laughed.“You must ask my father to give me away as a bride to you, and then he would be arranging the most fabulous celebrations, which is his style and his prerogative.”

“Yes. A fabulous celebration of your marriage is his prerogative, also,” Shiva smiled. “I will ask him for your hand very soon.”

He went the very next day. Unlike all the others, Shiva did not ever wait for a different phase of the moon to signal Him His beginnings. He went by His own instinct and emotion, and this time it was overwhelming.

It was a sunny morning, and Shiva was feeling good. He readied Nandi for a ride to Daksha’s palace. Nandi himself was in a hurry and charged in true bull fashion to their collective destiny. Together, they made a momentous sight: the Rider and the Ride. Raising merry dust with their hooves, every moment relegated to the past. It was like the perfect symbolism of the ride of time itself, as they rushed forward to embrace the future.

And soon, they reached the outskirts of Daksha’s kingdom. Nandi’s furious run was still heavy with the vigour of purpose, still robust with the virility of expectation. Women plowing their rice fields looked up to see this unstoppable creature heralding his master just past their midst. They were here one moment, and off the fields in the next. But the impression would be a life-lasting one; the farmer women knew it was not just a rider that was being heralded, but a whole new time itself had arrived.

Once they reached the walled city, Nandi slowed down into the most majestic trot that outdid any stallion of a trained royal cavalry. He was, after all the one-man cavalry of the most royal being. Both the men and the women, who had come to the marketplace for their usual chores, momentarily forgot what they had come for, and found their gaze transfixed on this unusual sight. Shiva waved back happily at each man, bowing politely to each woman.

Nandi thought it appropriate to bellow loudly and shake the bell around his neck, almost in a dance. The effect was magic; all the market goers found their whole being rushing, with an inexplicable joy that radiated visibly in their smiles.

Shiva and Nandi reached the main gates of the palace.

“Who are you? What brings you here?”asked the chief guard politely, but firmly.

“We are here to see King Daksha,” replied Nandi, as Shiva just smiled.

The guard was taken aback that the bull could speak; nevertheless he managed to shoot out his next interrogative. “What would you like to see the King for? You have to take a prior appointment. He has to meet many people on a daily basis, even heads of provinces have to await their turn, sometimes for days together.”

“I bring to you no head of province, guard!” said Nandi a little louder.“I bring to you the Supreme Master of the mountains, the Head of all heads, The Great Lord Shiva Himself!”

समय का आगमन

एक दिन, उन्होंने शिवजी से कहा "हम कब शादी करने जा रहे हैं?" "जब भी आप चाहें" शिवजी जवाब दिया, "आज?" "हाहा आज नहीं मेरे भगवान" माता सती ने हंसते हुए कहा, "आपको मेरे पिताजी से मुझे अपनी दुल्हन के रूप में देने के लिए पूछना चाहिए, और फिर वह सबसे शानदार समारोहों की व्यवस्था कर रहे होंगे, जो उनकी शैली है, और उनका विशेषाधिकार है" "हाँ। आपकी शादी का शानदार उत्सव, उनका विशेषाधिकार भी है” शिवजी मुस्कुराए। "मैं उनसे बहुत जल्द तुम्हारा हाथ मांगूंगा" वह दूसरे ही दिन चले गए। अन्य सभी के विपरीत, शिवजी ने अपनी शुरुआत का संकेत देने के लिए चंद्रमा के एक अलग चरण की प्रतीक्षा नहीं की। वह अपनी प्रवृत्ति और भावना से चले गए, और इस बार यह ज़बरदस्त था। यह एक कुरकुरी सुबह थी, और शिवजी अच्छा महसूस कर रहे थे। उन्होंने नंदी को दक्ष के महल की सवारी के लिए तैयार किया। नंदी खुद, जल्दी में थे और सच्चे बैल फैशन में उनके सामूहिक भाग्य के लिए आवेशित किए गए थे। साथ में उन्होंने एक महत्वपूर्ण दृश्य बनाया, सवार और सवारी। अपने खुरों से हर्षित धूल उड़ाते हुए, हर पल अतीत में चले गए। यह समय की सवारी के पूर्ण प्रतीकवाद की तरह था, क्योंकि वे भविष्य को गले लगाने के लिए आगे बढ़े। और जल्द ही वे महाराज दक्ष के राज्य की सीमा पर पहुंच गए। नंदी की प्रचंड दौड़ अभी भी उद्देश्य की प्रबलता के साथ भारी थी, अपेक्षा के पौरूष के साथ अभी भी मजबूत थी। अपने चावल के खेतों को जोत रही महिलाओं ने इस अजेय प्राणी को अपने स्वामी के बीच से गुज़रते हुए देखने के लिए ऊपर देखा। वे एक क्षण यहाँ थे, और अगले में खेतों से दूर। लेकिन यह छाप जीवन भर चलने वाली होगी: किसान महिलाओं को पता था कि यह केवल एक सवार नहीं था जिसे घोषित किया जा रहा था, बल्कि एक नया समय आ गया था।
