The call to Shiva, 'Har Har Mahadeva!" has been popularised to mean ‘ Each is Mahadeva' .This is alright, because essentially we are all made of Shiva Tattva- God stuff .
But actually, handed down from the time of the ancient Rishis, it is a short prayer to Shiva , which means “ O Mahadeva, take away my weaknesses”
While Vishnu is called Hari, lord Shiva is known as Hara. Hara means ‘ to take away’ , and Shiva is the God who helps you on your journey of Self-realisation by taking away junk messages, much like a computer vendor cleans up your hard drive and creates more space for you to grow.
And this is how, the plea to Mahadeva is not just about being victorious on a battleground , but far more importantly about resolving the conflict and confusion within, and growing spiritually..
With that we pray to Shiva the Adi Guru,
GURUDEVA
Sadguru deva namaya !
now that I meet the truth,
He will give himself, I thought,
but, he simply took.
All that darkness gone,
with just one look,
what remained as resplendence, was I !
Sadguru deva namaya !
Welcome to your self ,he said,
you looked for God,
He gave you me,
mystic is the circle of return,
I give you He!
We are all,
reflections
of we,
lighten up, and see!
Aum Namah Shivaye. Har Har Mahadeva.
