The special quality of 14 mukhi Rudraksha - Lord Siva

[Guest guest]

Why is it that many people consider shiva to be supreme when everywhere in the vedas it is krsna is the supreme. Is it because Lord Shiva is Asutosh(easily pleased). Also I have heard that in the Shiva purana it is stated that Lord Shiva is supreme.Ofcourse in the Ganesh Purana has stated that Ganesh is supreme.

 

Now ofcourse there are 18 puranas which are divided into 6 catagoris according to the gunas. Six in Tama guna, six in Raja guna and six in satva guna. The Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavat Gita are in Satva guna. Maybe people should try reading them.

 

Each of the Puranas claim that their perticular diety is supreme so people in those gunas can observe what they can while being in that guna and not go to higher dieties because it might be disruptive.

 

The position of Lord Siva ia that he is always accompanied by ghosts and hobgoblins - because his incarnation is to elevate those in the mode of tamas and trick them into worshiping a Vaisnava (himself) - Lord Siva carried Mother Ganga on his head, and Mother Ganga washes the feet of Lord Vishnu (Krishna).

All are expansions of the same God, but the quality of worship is different as people are on different levels of realisation!

That which exists is One, sages call it by various Names- That is what the Rig Veda proclaims. Each of us will be attracted by a concept of divinity and choose a mode of worship pertaining to our past impressions and gunas. Isn't that obvious ? Are we living in a well here ? Just look around the world and you can see numerous paths. Sectarianism can only make one narrow minded and one doens't need scriptural quotes to say that.

Instead of trying to please Lord Shivji by wearing Rudraksa, why not

worship that object of his devotion. After all it is Shivji who is

instructing Narada in the Narada Pancaratra where he says quite

clearly that worship of Krsna in the form and body of a gopi is the

topmost. By pleasing the object oh his aradhya you will not only

receive the blessings of Shiv but the one who himself blesses shiv.

And indeed Shivji is the topmost vaisnava - 'vaisnavanam yatha sambho'

(Bhagavat).
