"कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं

संसारसारम् भुजगेन्द्रहारम् ।

सदावसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे

भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि ॥"

karpūragauraṁ (the one who is as fair/pure as camphor)

karuṇāvatāraṁ (the one who is the embodiment of compassion)

sansārsāram (the one who is the essence of the world)

bhujagendrahāram (the one who drapes the serpent king as garland)

sadāvasantaṁ (the one who always resides)

hṛdayāravinde (in the lotus of my heart/ in the heart as pure as the lotus)

bhavaṁ bhavānīsahitaṁ namāmi (I bow/offer salutations to the God and the Goddess together)

Happy Maha Shivaratri!

Happy Maha Shivratri!

Tonight is Maha Shivaratri, the night when Hindus celebrate the wedding of Shiva (the Great God) and Parvati (the goddess of power, energy, nourishment, harmony, love, beauty, devotion, and motherhood). This night, Lord Shiva performs his divine dance, called the Tandava, the dance that is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Maha Shivaratri, image taken on…

🚩 श्री शिवाष्टक - आदि अनादि अनंत अखण्ड

आदि अनादि अनंत अखंङ,

अभेद अखेद सुबेद बतावैं ।

अलख अगोचर रुप महेस कौ,

जोगि जती मुनि ध्यान न पावैं ॥

आगम निगम पुरान सबै,

इतिहास सदा जिनके गुन गावैं ।

बङभागी नर नारि सोई,

जो सांब सदासिव कौं नित ध्यावैं..

happy Mahāśivarātri! 🙏 reflecting today on the need to destroy within that which is familiar to be reborn as new. a poem inspired by the homam witnessed at the Chidambaram Temple (pictured):

Agni is starved

mantra pours into the fire ghee pours into the fire milk pours into the fire curd pours into the fire sugar pours into the fire silk pours into the fire

fear pours into the fire past pours into the fire doubt pours into the fire attachment pours into the fire woe pours into the fire ire pours into the fire

Agni licks his lips

quenching the homam within, i wear the embers on my eyelids with each blink i regenerate.

Har Har Mahādeva!

  🔱 further context: scholar Richard K. Payne explores homa as symbiosis between fire, the deity invoked in and concomitantly identified with the fire, and with the practitioner, who themselves becomes ‘ritually identified with both the deity and the fire’. in this, the offerings immolated in the fire are connoted with ‘spiritual obstacles that impede the practitioner from full awakening’. most significantly, ‘the practitioner’s own inherent wisdom is identified with the fire, and just as the offerings are transformed and purified, the practitioner’s own spiritual obstacles are, as well’. (2017)

Payne interestingly identifies two strains of interpretation of the ritual: first, ‘the yogic interiorization of ritual found in post-Vedic Indian religion, more as a form of esoteric physiology than as a psychologized understanding of visualization’; second, ‘the sexual symbolism' 'attached to all aspects of fire rituals’. (2017)

What is the secret behind worship of shivling?

Must read the sacred book Gyan Ganga.
