What Is the Nature of Our God Siva?

[Guest guest]

pixelWidth"> God Siva is all and in all, one

without a second, the Supreme Being and only Absolute Reality. He is Pati, our

Lord, immanent and transcendent. To create, preserve, destroy, conceal and

reveal are His five powers.

three perfections: Absolute Reality, Pure Consciousness and Primal Soul. As

Absolute Reality, Siva is unmanifest, unchanging and transcendent, the Self

God, timeless, formless and spaceless.

mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">As Pure Consciousness, Siva is the manifest primal

substance, pure love and light flowing through all form, existing everywhere in

time and space as infinite intelligence and power. As Primal Soul, Siva is the

five-fold manifestation: Brahma, the creator; Vishnu, the preserver; Rudra, the

destroyer; Maheshvara, the veiling Lord, and Sadasiva, the revealer. He is

our personal Lord,source of all three worlds. Our divine father-mother

protects, nurtures and guides us, veiling Truth as we evolve, revealing it when

we are mature enough to receive God's bountiful grace. God Siva is all and in

all, great beyond our conception, a sacred mystery that can be known in direct

communion. Yea, when Siva is known, all is known.

part of Him which is characterized by tamas is called Rudra. That part of Him

which belongs to rajas is Brahma. That part of Him which belongs to sattva is

Vishnu." Aum Namah Sivaya. ------- Satguru Sivaya
