Dear Kariji

 

Namaskar My Friend and thank you for your message

 

The study of Siva can take a couple of years to begin with

 

A good beginning can be found in the writtings of NamaDeva Acharyas works that

can be found on www.SanskritMantra.com

 

Siva is infinite consciousness past present and future

 

He is known as the Great Destroyer but this description is flawed. It would be

more accurate to call him the Great Spiritualizer because it is Siva who enables

spiritual evolutoin by using the essence of our current level of understanding

to move us to a higher plane

 

The following Siddha Mantra is made up of the seed syllables that govern the

elements associated with the chakras earth water fire air and ether. The Siddha

Path is the Path of perfecting the Divine Vehicle. This Mantra is used to hasten

the journey to spiritual maturity the state of perfection enjoyed by the Siddhas

 

Om Namah Shivaya

 

Suggested reading to go further are the Siva Puranas that can be probably found

at www.NatarajBooks.com

 

Thanks and Take Care My Friend

Will someone please tell me......

 

 

.. about Lord Shiva? I have noticed there seem to be a few devotees,

on this l/s.

 

I have encountered three Hindu Dieties-- Lord Ganesha, Lady Laxmi, and

Lord Hanumaan.

 

All I know about Lord Shiva is that He is the destroyer who makes way

for the new growth.

Thank you, Kantiji.

 

BTW-- I know that He is real. Remember, I have a background in some

Western mystical trads. From those, one learns that all the Gods who

are worshipped are very real. And, there is always an exchange of

energy between God(s) and man, from the worship.

Dear Kari,

There is a good book called "Dancing With Siva", this will tell

you everything about Him.

The Hindu trinity is Bhrama(creator, Rajas), Vishnu

(Sustainer,Sattwa), Rudra(Destroyer, Tamas). Rudra is a form of Siva,

but Siva himself is said to be beyond the trinity. I like this

explanation, Bhrama is our mother, Vishnu our father, and Siva is our

mother and father. Saivites believe him to be the Supreme. In the

Vaisnava religion, Hari(Vishnu) is the Supreme and Siva is the

destroyer who makes way for the new creation. Siva is also the Lord

of the Dance, Nataraja. He is prabably the oldest worshipped Hindu

diety. Siva is said to be easily pleased, and readily gives his

blessings. He is very innocent.

best wishes, Kamal
