Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 As by pouring water at the root of a tree all its branches are nourished, by pleaseing Sri Rudra through Rudra Japa, all the Devas are pleased. One obtains Bhukti and Mukti enjoyment of Life as well as Freedom from the ills of the world by the chanting of Sri Rudram with Devotion To The Rudra who is in Fire, Who is in Trees and Plants, Who has entered into the entire Universe, to that Rudra let our Salutations go The Almighty Cosmic Energies that are Lord Siva and Lord Rudra have many aspects that are indicated by Their Holy Names. Lord Siva dances Creation out of existence at the end of time and then after an appropriate time He destroys the silence itself by dancing and the activity of His dance gives rise to the appearance of Narayana and causes Creation again Through the Grace of Lord Siva Lord Rudra we are able to come to a state where we stop identifying with the Relative aspect of ourselves and come to know our true identity as one with the Absolute. This is the death of death itself. This is Immortality. It is the total destruction of all limitation and all sorrow in our lives and this miracle can only be brought about by the Power of Lord Siva. That is why He is called Lord Siva The Auspicious One. He destroys our limitations and our fears. He is the very embodiment of total kindness. He is the Lord of Yogis presiding over Transcendental Knowledge. Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum Two of the most important rules to be observed in the Asta Avarana that are the Eight Aids or Protections are the uttering of the Five syllabled formula or Mantra that is Namah Shivaya and the wearing of the Sacred Rudraksa Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
