Emergence of Lord Shiva.

We have all heard of the Hindu trinity – Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesh (Shiva). The trio symbolizes the fundamental truth of birth, sustenance and death which ultimately lead to rebirth and a new journey all over again.

Lord Brahma is also referred to as the creator while Lord Vishnu is the protector and Lord Shiva the destroyer. But what does he destroy? Destruction in this context doesn’t mean the end of life but annihilation of the vices intrinsic to human nature.

When Brahma gives us life, we realize that we exist; Vishnu helps us in leading life by experiencing myriad aspects – good, bad and ugly; while Shiva inspires us to give up all materialistic desires to attain salvation.

But do you know how Shiva came into being?

In this post, we will take you through a legend that describes the emergence of Shiva.

Once, Brahma and Vishnu had a heated argument while debating each other’s supremacy. While they were busy claiming supremacy over one another, a beaming, radiant pillar struck to grab their attention. One of its end extended beyond the horizon and the other dug deep into the earth.

Both Brahma and Vishnu were left clueless on seeing it. The former turned into a goose and the latter transformed into a boar to trace its origin and end.

After spending hours, they failed to trace its starting and ending points.

 Soon, Shiva emerged from the pillar to reveal himself. Thus, the third leg of the trinity came into being to make both Brahma and Vishnu realize that there was a bigger power governing the universe.

Who is the father of Lord Shiva?

The answer is No One, Shiva is eternal, Sanatana, super powerful lord or lords who live on Mount Kailash.

There are no parents of Shiva. There are no stories in the Vedas where his father name is mentioned.

The working of the universal phenomena is based on Trinity which includes Brahma Vishnu Mahesh . Shiva is Maheshwara.

Once upon a sage asked a question to Shiva?

Sage -Bholenath , Who is your father?

Shiva - Brahma.

Then sage asked who is the father of Brahma?

Shiva - Lord Vishnu.

Sage Then who is the father of Lord Vishnu?

Shiva - I am.

Existence of Shiva

The first thing we would like to tell you that Shiva is supreme sentience. The whole universe came into existence by his desire.

Shiva is almighty and various culture across the world worship him from different names and signs.

Shiva is the limitless void who is filled with extreme energy. It is his energy which is flowing across the universe.

The thing which we can see and which we cannot see all belong to him. It means entire universe is inside him and we are inside him.

When we look towards the sky and count stars in the night. We see twinkling stars and according to modern science, these stars contain the immense amount of energies.

Every substance is made of matter and energy which means our whole universe is made up of matter and energy.

Our universe contains

1. only 2 - 4 % of matter
2. 20- 22% is Dark matter and
3. rest 74% - 78% is Dark energy

Dark matter and Dark energy are completely beyond human consciousness. world Scientists are trying to learn about Dark matter and Dark energy.

Dark matter and Dark energy are responsible for the creation of the entire universe who caused the Big bang.

When we look towards Sanatana Vedic knowledge. Goddess Adishakti is regarded as Dark energy.

Shiva is also the major part of the Dark energy but Shiva is silent means Vairagi whereas another part of Dark energy discharges as Rudrani or goddess Durga .

Both Shiva and Rudrani collectively form Dark energy. Goddess Rudrani is an extreme form of dark energy, the existence of the whole universe depends on Dark energy will.

The energy which cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore Shiva & Adishakti are one, one supreme lord.

Shiva is immortal, unconquerable, unborn, supreme consciousness. Shiva has limitless energy which is equivalent to Goddess Adishakti.

It is the reason that only Shiva can control the flux of Time and Space dimension. Kaal Chakra or wheel of time is under Shiva's control.

This Dark energy is available in every substance which is present in the form of Shiva Tattva. This Shiva tattva is available everywhere.

In cosmic galaxies, Black holes are the representation of the Shiva Tattva. To start the time Chakra, Shiva requires creating the vacuum in dark energy.

According to Shiva Purana universe has 10 Rudras form of Shiva. These Rudra's are responsible for the cosmic destruction.

One can understand Rudra as the destructor of the galaxies or destruction of the planets.

To start the universe Shiva performed the divine dance which is known as Tandava.

Dancing form of Shiva is Natraj, the circle of the Natraj is the representation of the Time Chakra which produces the Black hole.

The Dancing Shiva

 These black hole originated from the Vibration of the energy Tandava . The fire which is coming out of the circle is the matter.

The distance between the flame represents the Vacuum space. Vishnu emerged from Shiva-Shakti who is responsible for the preservation of the matter.

Lord Vishnu is the base of the entire universe and available in every matter. Brahma emerged from Vishnu's navel part through a Lotus stem.

Brahma created force, rules and policies for the universe. Various forms of the Rudras help in maintaining the balance of the cosmos.

Lord Vishnu is the soul, Brahma is the mind, Shiva is soul maker, AdiShakti is Shiva's energy.

Conclusion

The answer to the question Who is the father of Lord Shiva? is simply no one. No one is the father of God Shiva.

MANAGEMENT HUMOUR: THE ERUPTION OF HELMET HEADS

“THE ERUPTION OF HELMET HEADS” (FUNNY BOSSES AND MANAGEMENT HUMR) the author is drawing his readers attention towards “HUMOR AT THE WORK PLACE”. The life is what we make it.

This book is a masterclass in how to defy a boring world with mischief.

Some funny story which taught Business Morals and Ethics. Check out now -

Lesson 1: Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,

“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next-door neighbour,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be able to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. 

Lesson 3

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Management is a subject that even many managers concede is ripe for the humorous take. We are all being managed and/or managing something/someone. And all of us can do with a few laughs. So, here’s a short but hopefully sharp selection of management humour.

Naturally, the higher you are in the management hierarchy, the more you are suitable for a funny take. 

Let go of inhibitions. Laughter opens us up, freeing us to express what we truly feel and allowing our deep, genuine emotions to rise to the surface.

SIGNIFICANCE OF OM(Aum) IN HINDU RELIGION

OM (Aum) a mystic syllable, considered the most sacred mantra in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. It appears at the beginning and end of most Sanskrit recitations, prayers, and texts. The syllable "Om" or "Aum" is of paramount importance in Hinduism.

OM (Aum) Om is a sacred sound, a spiritual icon and a mantra. It is a Sanskrit word that translates as “Source” or “Supreme.

The sound itself helps to calm us down and ease our central nervous system which can be over stimulated in our go go go type of world we live in.

What does the symbol Om represent?

The Om symbol written in Sanskrit represents everything. The material world of the waking state is symbolized by the large lower curve. The deep sleep state is symbolized by the upper left curve. The dream state, lying between the waking state below and deep sleep state above, emanates from the confluence of the two. The point and semicircle are separate from the rest and rule the whole. The point represents the state of absolute consciousness. The open semicircle is symbolic of the infinite and the fact that the meaning of the point cannot be grasped if one limits oneself to finite thinking.

What is the meaning of om?

We’ve all heard about this word called “OM”. But, what is it? What does it mean? Can it be translated into English? Not exactly. If you chant it does it somehow change you or your religion? Absolutely not.

Let's dispel some of the mysteries and misunderstandings about Om / Aum so we better understand its meaning.

Om is an ancient Sanskrit “word” that was first felt by rishis as they meditated. It was more about the essence of Om than the chanting of it. Eventually as the experience was shared the word came forth and people started chanting it to get the experience of it. So, you ask, what is the experience of Om?

It is somewhat difficult to describe with words, but Om represents everything. It is said to be the seed of all of creation. Just like an acorn seed has the immense power and beauty of a mighty oak tree. This seemingly small word contains all the power of the universe. It is the beginning, middle and the end of it all or the past, present and future.

Chanting Om brings into your awareness the physical reality of this world and your body, the subtle impressions of the mind and emotions and the thoughts and beliefs of your life and this world.

As the Mandukya Upanishad tells us the perfect state or super conscious state and all that precedes it are a part of Om. The sound can also be displayed in its more complete form of Aum. When written this way it appears as if the sound has three parts. It has four.

The A (aahhh) sound represents the creation aspect of the universe and all the gross objects within it. Ahh is the beginning of all sounds. This is the most common letter that starts alphabets. It connects us to our sense of self, the ego. With this syllable you experience the existence of the world through the activity of the senses.

When you chant this sound notice that it is produced in the throat and back of the mouth where the tongue is rooted and resonates in the lower abdomen. The first sound embodies “Sat”, the sound that starts to bring you back to unity, to the truth of your existence.

The U (oooh) sound signifies the maintaining energy of the universe and the subtle impressions of the mind. It connects us to an inner sense of something greater than that which we can see and feel with our senses. Oooh lets in lightness, clarity, balance and goodness. When you chant this letter, the sound moves forward between the tongue and the palate up to the lips and vibrates in the solar plexus. The sound denotes “Chit”, an illumination of knowing, pure wisdom.

The M (mmmm) sound characterizes the transformative energy of the universe and the thoughts and beliefs of your being. This sound unites you to the awareness of oneness. It allows you to slow down to feel the connectedness of all that is. The sound “mmmm” is produced by closing the lips and it vibrates the crown of the head. The sound symbolizes “Ananda”, to be at one with bliss everywhere with all things.

The fourth sound is silence or anagata. It is the vibration which is beyond verbal pronunciation. It is pure consciousness of the Self or the Atman. The unity of Sat Chit Ananda (I exist, I know, I am blissful) is experienced here.

As you can see the experience of Om is multifaceted. It truly is an experience of all in everything. It is said that the sound of Aum includes the entire process of sound and all other sounds are included within it. Therefore, Om is called the seed sound (Bija), the original sound from which all other sounds and worlds come from. Therefore, Om is said to represent God, Brahman, Source, Universal Consciousness. Because it has the power to create everything.

When chanting Om aloud, the sound will naturally evolve through the three phases corresponding tot the three letters A-U-M. Like the experience of Om as a sense of completeness and pure consciousness, the three syllables are not distinct or separate phases, but a continuous motion of the body, breath and awareness.

Now, the true power of Om lies in the experience of Om. Reading this can help the mind understand but it cannot give you the experience. Chant this, by yourself, with your friends, in your community. Allow the experience of all the words above to soak into your being. Feel the power each syllable has as the sound vibrations move from the low abdomen, up through the solar plexus and chest all the way to the tip top of the head.

Let the vibrations clear and cleanse your energy system and chakras. Find wholeness and healing in this easy to remember mantra.

Many yoga classes begin and end with the chanting of Om three times. This mantra allows the energy of the group to begin the process of harmony by breathing together and sharing in this mantra. It tunes each person into themselves and reminds the body and mind to set aside worldly concerns and to turn your attention inward to the everlasting joy yoga can bring.

Repeating Om at the end of a session, together with the traditional “Namaste”, is a declaration of respect for the practice and each other. It also allows you to carry forth the inspiration of yoga to everyone and encourage growth in yourself and others through your presence alone.

Om is an amazing tool that all people of all faiths can utilize to bring focus and awareness to the greater meaning of life.

 Q: What does this Om mean?

 A: The Vedic culture unequivocally states that Om is the best name of Ishwar. Refer Yoga Darshan 1.27-28

Om is made from three syllables – A (अ), U (उ), M (म्)

Now each of these syllables represent various characteristics of Ishwar or God or Supreme.

For example,

A represents vast, universal, worth being worshipped

U represents brilliant, minute, source, controller

M represents infinite, undying, knowledgeable, caring

These are just few examples. However, Om summarizes essence of all other names of Ishwar.

Om reminds us that we can move past our physical and mental states of consciousness and connect with the divine – both in ourselves and others. It has been said that Om is the sound of the universe. In its essence, Om represents the sound of divinity in all things in the past, present and future.

“Om” is the imperishable word. Om is the universe, and this is the exposition of Om. The past, the present, and the future, all that was, all that is, and all that will be is Om.
