"Exploring the Essence of Shiv: Energy, Devotion, and Mythology"

 

As an integral part of the Hindu trinity, consisting of Shiv, Vishnu, and Brahma, Shiv embodies a profound concept – that of the universe as an embodiment of energy, Shakti. This perspective is eloquently expounded by Sulabha Kore in her book titled "Shiv and Shivalaya," written after her prestigious Tagore National Fellowship for Cultural Research awarded by the Ministry of Culture. Shiv transcends being a mere name; it is a dynamic force, Shakti, that encompasses the entire cosmos, Kore beautifully articulates.

 

Shiv is not conceived through birth; he is swayambhu – self-originated, self-manifested – a creation in and of himself. He predates the existence of the universe and worlds. Shiv's presence predates all else, earning him the title of the Adi Yogi, the primal yogi. He simultaneously embodies emptiness and fullness, is formless yet with form – nirgun and sagun. As Ishwar, the divine being, he personifies the manifestation of energy, evoking reverence and devotion alike.

 

Shiv's presence is all-encompassing, from the macrocosm to the minutest particles. He is ubiquitous and indomitable, despite also being known as the destroyer. Within Shiv's form resides the universe, rendering him eternally linked with its existence. This indestructibility translates to the universe's eternal nature, perpetually evolving through countless cycles of life and death, navigating pralayas and mahapralayas – cycles of cosmic dissolution and super-dissolution.

 

Curiously, amidst Shiv's grandeur, he is deemed easily pleased and is affectionately referred to as Ashutosh, one who's swiftly satisfied. Kore sheds light on this phenomenon by suggesting that we often humanize deities, considering them akin to us. This approach draws us closer to the divine, envisioning gods as relatable figures, albeit with exceptional attributes. Shiv, the supreme savior, personifies this connection.

 

Kore highlights Shiv's affinity for tranquil and natural settings, leading to his presence in the Himalayas, Sahyadri hills, valleys, water bodies, rivers, springs, and dense forests. "Shiv resides yatra, tatra, sarvatra – here, there, and everywhere. He epitomizes Satyam, Shivam, and Sundaram – Truth, Goodness, and Beauty."

 

The significance of the monsoon, particularly the Shravan season, to Shiv has deep mythological roots. The tale of the churning of the milky ocean, the samudra manthan, is believed to have unfolded during this season. This event unveiled auspicious treasures along with halahal, the deadly poison. Shiv valiantly consumed the poison to safeguard the world. His throat turned blue, earning him the name Neelkanth – the blue-throated One. This narrative explains the offering of water and milk to Shiv's icon, the Shivlingam, during Shravan, as a gesture to mitigate the effects of the poison.

 

To this day, this ritual continues, particularly on Mondays, when devotees fast, pray, and honor Ishwar by chanting "Har Har Mahadev!" and "Bhole Nath ki Jai!" This practice is a testament to the timeless devotion and reverence for Shiv, his symbolism, and his enduring impact on the spiritual fabric of Hindu culture.

 

IF HE EXIST

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
