Yogic Philosophy and LINGA/Shri Anand - 2

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Anand

 

Lingam and Yoni - A "worship which would appear to have made the

tour of the globe and to have left traces of its existence where we

might least expect to find it."

 

''In the Saiva Purana of the Hindoos, Siva says: "From the supreme

spirit proceed Purusha (the generative or male principle), Prakriti

(the productive or female principle), and Tirue; and by them was

produced this universe, the manifestation of the one god. . . . Of

all organs of sense and intellect, the best is mind, which proceeds

from Ahankara, Ahankara from intellect, intellect from the supreme

being, who is, in fact, Purusha. It is the primeval male, whose form

constitutes the universe, and whose breath is the sky; and though

incorporeal, that male am I." In the Kritya Tatwa, Siva is thus

addressed by Brahma: "I know that Thou, O Lord, art the eternal

Brahm, that seed which, being received in the womb of thy Sakti

(aptitude to conceive), produced this universe; that thou united

with thy Sakti dost create the universe from thine own substance

like the web from the spider." In the same creed Siva is the

personification of the sun (which he is equally with Surya) or fire,

the genial heat which pervades, generates and vivifies all; and

Bhavani, who, as the goddess of nature is also the earth, is the

universal mother''.

 

What is PRANAVA Shabda? It is ''AUM ''.To whom do we attribute

this.HE is SHANKARA.In whatever name we call HIM,HE remains the same.

''BRAHMAA VISHNUSADAASHIVA JAANATA AVIVEKAA PRANAVAAKSARA MEIN

SHOBHITA YE TINONH EKAA OM JAI SHIV OMKAARAA..

 

''The ignorant (unwise and stupid) know Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as

three individual gods, but they are all indistinguishably fused into

a single mystic syllable 'OM'''.

 

Shri ChandraHari had given me shlokas from mahabharatha,regarding

Shiva,which i had not given due importance,due to my ignorance.I

have apologized to him.

 

I Thank Ramanarayanan ji for the Shiva mantra.
