Guest Ramamitham Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Facts About Shiva! Lord Shiva the supreme soul do has five forms and do five things Esana, Thathpurusa, agora, Vamadeva, Sathyojatha He can do Create, protect, destroy, make something disappear without any balance, blessing. So he referred as anaathi (An +aAthi) That mean who has no starting point. he has never been created. he has no origin or no end. Also he always uses things which are not used by others like All people uses creams and cosmetics lotions to body he uses ash. People likes golds and Silver ornaments, he like snakes over her body People like nice homes to stay, he like cremation ground to stay people like silks and dresses, he likes the tiger skin people like sweets he like Poison ( NeelaKandan) Even the picture in the given link http://hinduism.about.com/od/lordshiva/p/shiva.htm shows him taking the poison. So he takes which people cant or not afford to take. So presenting Drugs Opium to the Lord Shiva is to show him that we must not get addicted to opium, Its not for People but for the god and the almighty Lord shiva who can not be manipulated with anything. Shiva means Pure Thats why he is been called as Amalan, Vimalan It means he is the real pure that means one cannot make him impure. So he cannot be manipulated with drugs.

Guest madhav Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 shiva is that blissful & innocent consciousness which exists in every atom of the universe and also in us. celebrating this shiva tatva in oneself is called SHIVARATRI Shiva means Yourself. your innermost core the purest self - sri sri ravi shankar physical nature has set laws within which all life needs to happen . but the fundamental nature of human being is always longing to go beyond those limitations. spiritual process is about breaking the laws of the physical. in that sense we are all outlaws and shiva is the ultimate outlaw. you can't worship him but you are welcome to join the gang -- sadhguru jaggi vasudev sri sri ravi shankar & sadhguru jaggi vasudev videos on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
