Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 In general we believe that Shankar who sits in tapasya is Shiva. But in Truth Shiva is known as Point of light and this point of light is the one we worship by using Shiv ling.And all religion accept that God is light. Shankar is described as the one who opens eyes to destroy the world. It is only the representation of Yogi souls who by Self Control (Snake shown in the neck represent Self Control) get rid of the Kaliyug and become the ones who come in Satyug – Heaven. The three lines shown in Shiv ling represents the Action of Supreme Soul like Establishment of truth by Brahma, Sustenance by Vishnu and Destruction by Shankar and Shiv is reperesented as point appearing at the centre of three lines in the Shiv ling. Sri Krishna is shown as a child appearing in the leaf which represents India where Sri Krishna will appear in the Golden Age or Heaven and after ascending the Throne Krishna and Radhe will be called as Lakshmi and Narayan – together 4 hands - Vishnu form. As we souls are point of light located at the middle of eyebrow - forehead (for exact location pls. refer godlymessenger ), the Supreme soul is also a point of light.There cannot be any difference between Father and Children. In the beginning of Copper Age - after Golden and Silver Age, People start worshipping God. In Golden and Silver Age (together2500yrs.)all were happy, so they did not worship God. Since point of light, does not have a form,cannot be worshipped in its original form as it is, some background was required to fix a point for Worship. Thatshow, the point is marked in a stone for worship. But What happened, when the days are passed, people lost the Knowledge of Supreme Soul and they started worshiping the stone (lingum) instead of the point of light. Since nobody is aware of Supreme soul, in Bhakti - Devotional Service, the Saints started created their own man made stories in which they have imagined many stories about the lingum - stone without knowing the real Truth. The Supreme soul descend to Earth to give Teachings to Human souls at the end of Iron Age and it is celebrated as Shiv ratri ( The night of Doer of Good (Shiv-doer of Good, Ratri - Night)) The Night refers to the end of Iron Age when morality is totally under decline.And it is also represented in Hindu practice that all the statues of gods and goddesses are placed for worship through the entrance door of the Temple, But the Shiv ling is always installed within the temple through the roof of the temple (representing the descend of Supreme soul from Paramdham-Incorporeal World-where the Supreme Soul and Human souls live together before coming in to the World Cycle. The point of light is worshipped in various forms by different religion - Muslims have the stone of Sang-e-aswad in Mecca, Jesus said God is light and He is Supreme Father, Guru Nanak, said God is one, Japanese worship candle light, and Hindus worship Lingum. The difference between Supreme Soul and Human Soul : Human soul is of Mind, Intellect and Sanskars. Human souls come into Birth and Death. Human souls come in to the Golden Age, live with 100% purity and come down to 0% purity at the end of Kaliyug. Then Supreme Soul comes, Purify Human souls by His Godly Teaching of living a life free from Lust, Anger, Greed, Ego and attachment, considering ourselves as souls not body and remembering Supreme soul always to get rid of our past and present sins.After purification, God and Human souls go together to the soul world called Paramdham where Human souls and Supreme Soul live there together until the next cycle of next kalpa begins Supreme Soul is of Mind, Intellect and Sanskars. Supreme soul, God, never comes into birth and Death and He remains always pure. God has the knowledge of creation from beginning till end and He is Ocean of Knowledge, Ocean of Mercy, Ocean of Peace, Love, Purity....God never comes in Satyug where People - Deities live with Love and Happiness with 100% purity.Supreme Soul comes only at the end of Kaliyug to give us Knowledge.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Namaste. Here is a fascinating news report. Hindu News Headlines for September 13, 2005 Ganesh puja in a mosque 2005-09-13 Published by .com Gathered by Staff Reporter BHUBANESWAR,SEPTEMBER 13: Lord Ganesh is no longer a Hindu deity in Orissa. A mosque-like structure has been constructed as a marquee at a puja pandal and the Quran has been chanted during the procession for immersion of the idol. This particular Ganesh puja was celebrated for 20 days! The Orissa Muslims have been celebrating Ganesh puja for over 10 years in Bhubaneswar, in a rare show of communal amity and fraternal between Hindus and Muslims. A group of Muslims, mostly fishermen, have been organising prayers for Lord Ganesha. They have formed a Jawan Matsya Byabasayi Sangha Puja Committee and have been performing this prayer ritual for the last 12 years. Local Hindus help them in the celebration. There are a few differences in the manner in which the puja is conducted. While the Ganesh idol is immersed on the same or next day as a practice in other places, the Muslims continue the festivities for 20 days. And during the immersion procession some lines from the Quran are chanted and prayers held for about two hours. ---------- By this news I am reminded of Bhuvaneshvar, Orissa, the city which also contains historical wealth of Buddhist and Jain Sadhana. ---------- On my recent pilgrimage to India I have visited Sri Jagannatha Puri and the famous Lingaraja temple of Lord Shiva in Bhuvaneshvar, Orissa, the city which is named after Him but orginally known as 'Ekaamra Vana' (Siddhaamra Shetra). The history of this place is interesting. One Puranic source stated that Lord Shiva after visiting His Beloved Krishna at Nilachala Jagannatha Puri, ecstatic in Divine Love, came to this 'Ekaamra Vana' (Garden of Wish-yielding Mango tree) and stayed meditating on Lord Krishna and could not leave the beautiful mango grove. Pleased and satisfied Lord of Nilachal, Sri Krishna appeared and asked Lord Shiva that how He could bless this sacred place. Lord Shiva multiplied into many forms of Shiva Lingas and requested that here after this 'Ekamra Vana' shall be known as 'Bhuvaneshvara' or 'Tri bhuvaneshvara', other epithets of Lord Shiva. Since Lord Krishna has blessed this place of Divine Love meditation of Lord Shiva, it is now known as Bhuvaneshvar. It is also known as 'Hari-Hara Kshetra' as the Shiva linga (Image of Lord Shiva) that is worshipped in the Lingaraja temple contains Shaligrama (Lord Vishnu's image) in the middle, broadcasting the eternal union of Lord Krishna and Shiva. The priests do worship the images with both 'Bilva' leaves (dear to Lord Shiva) and Tulasi leaves (dear to Lord Vishnu), 56 offerings of food preparations done everyday to the Lords. Sacred vedic hymns of Shiva and Kesava are chanted in aratis. Seems like the Vaishnavas and Shaivas are in peace here. Another source from Skanda Purana revealed that an ancient king of Varanasi (Benares) desired to fight with Lord Krishna and prayed Lord Shiva to be on his side. To fulfill the desire of His devotees Lord agreed. But in the fight the king was defeated and the City of Varanasi was totally burned to ashes by Lord Krishna's 'Sudarshan (Wheel) Chakra. So the homeless Lord Shiva came to Nilachal Jagannath at Puri and prayed to stay closer to Him. Lord Krishna was happy to let Lord Shiva to reside not only here but also at all 'Vishnu Tirthas' (sacred abodes of Lord Krishna) and thus Bhuvaneshvar happened to be another 'Varanasi' as the holy city of Lord Shiva, at the out skirts of Jagannath Puri. It appears to me that with the pretext of a fight and fire, Lord Shiva Himself renounced His own abode Varanasi to stay closer to His Beloved at Jagannath Puri. The auspicious lake at the Bhuvaneshvar temple is known as 'Bindu Sarovar' which had been formed by the sacred waters of all the holy rivers on the earth. When Lord Ramachandra wanted to perform the worship and bathing of Shiva Linga (Lord Shiva) at Rameshvar, He asked Sri Hanumanji to bring the sacred waters of all the holy places on earth. Following his Lord's order, when flying Hanumanji was bringing the water for the worship of Lord Shiva, one drop from the sky fell down at Bhuvaneshvar and became the holy lake 'Bindu Sarovar'! So the purifying effects of the water from this lake includes the auspiciousness of all sacred rivers on earth! Jaya Sri Radhey! , "Tatwamasi" <tatwamasi> wrote: > How interesting!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 dear friend The propagation of divine knowledge should be carried out under the guidance of a Spiritual teacher (Satguru not any guru), who is nothing but Lord Himself. This is the most pious job. Divine knowledge means the knowledge required for the identification of lord when comes in Human form. Human beings interpretations cannot be accepted. Satguru can only assess how much the disciple has assimilated His preachings. Rama Krishna Paramahamsa told that such a divine knowledge should be learnt from a Satguru by serving Him. As per the order of Satguru only a disciple can participate in the propagation of divine knowledge. The knowledge preached by his Satguru is only to be propagated. Propagation of false or misleading knowledge is a sin. Because, anybody who is a sincere seeker will get diverted or misled and finally he will not get the grace of Lord. A guru can be a Saadhaka who learnt some divine knowledge and so may clarify some doubts. But it does not mean He/She is satguru. But the characteristic of Satguru is 'Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma....'----- Veda. Reading & understanding the scriptures on our own is very difficult. These scriptures are nothing but the word of Lord only. So when He comes in Human form, why can't we avail Him and serve Him practically? Why to unnecessarily struggle ourselves in understanding what is written in scriptures like Bible, Gita, Khuran etc. Until unless mind is convinced with true spiritual knowledge, it is difficult to practice. Divine knowledge is to be practiced to get the grace of Lord and is not meant for teaching only or for discussions only. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya B K <bkgswu wrote: SUPREME SOUL - SHIVA I am a peaceful soul, a tiny spark of light, a non-physical being.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 dear friend Rama and Krishna are the human incarnation of Lord not the creation of human beings. The reason for the emphasis on human form of God is that the human beings can have vision for a long time, can touch Him for a long time, can converse with Him for a long time and can live with Him for a long time when He is in the human body. God can enter the body of light also, which is called as Angel. Such a body can be seen for a little time only since the light has the nature of propagation in the space. Such angel cannot be touched due to high intensity of radiation. The angel talks briefly for the same reason. The angel cannot live with human beings for a long time. Thus human body is most convenient for the human beings. This soul goes to the upper world by taking a body of light energy. For those souls in the upper world, God also appears with a body of bright light energy. Jesus referred this form of God as the Father of the Heaven. A human being with this materialized body cannot approach the God with that powerful energetic body. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya nama siva <nama_sivam wrote: siva , krishna .... are human creation. namasivayam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 We human souls are also pure and powerful originally but coming into body conscious, we lose our purity by becoming body conscious from soul conscious. similarly If God too takes birth He will lose His purity. Thatswhy God , the Supreme Soul never comes into Birth and Death. Sri Krishna and Sri Rama are the Kings of Satyug and Treta Yug which are calleda as Heaven and Semi Heaven. prakki surya <dattapr2000 wrote: dear friend Rama and Krishna are the human incarnation of Lord not the creation of human beings.
