Guest guest Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Dear sevaks please accept my respectful pranams! Lord Sri Shiva's atma is OM and is always present in the Linga that Matha Shri Parvathi worships. So in Atma Linga HIS form is undescribable. This linga is the most auspicious of all lingas. One of the atma linga was gifted to Ravaneshwar and Matha Gauri ordered Shri Ganeshji to stop Ravana from reaching Lanka with this Atma Linga. SubhamDinamAstu! SarvamSriKrishnaArpanamastu!

Guest guest Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Dear Shri JC ananda please accept adiyen's respectful pranams! It is better to give stories than give thoughts of vedas for people to understand. Not everyone has the power to digest the self and Shiva everywhere. It is Shiva praying Shiva etc. However I see some venom in your email regarding "Vaishnava Story". This story is from a puran written by yogi's much much higher than you and me. They realised that it is mortal fools who have created sects between people for their own benefit. However one thing please keep in mind, to insult Shriman Narayana, is to insult Sri Shiva, and to insult Sri Shiva is to insult Sri Narayana. So their leelas stand to gain more weight than Veda thatvas. Saying the Word "RAM" makes Lord Shiva move than saying his panchakshri mantra. So the shiva in me saying in emails, as krishna, or doing arpanam is HE doing it. So respect that than to say "Vaishnava Story". Just because wearing Rudra-ka-aaksh, applying holy ash does not make one a devotee of Shiva, LIVE like HIM to become Shiva. SubhamDinamAstu!

However one thing please keep in mind, to insult Shriman Narayana, is to insult Sri Shiva I have no venom, just objective thought on this. Firstly I am not a vaishnava so I do not worship narayana/vishnu any more than I worship allah although people say they are all the same. Secondly I do not accept or follow any scripture that upholds caste/varna system or sexism which is why I reject many scriptures. I am vira shaivite. I dont think any yogi is better than anyone if he says women are dogs and sudras are slaves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It saddens me deeply in my heart that so many people, including now even westerners who have begun to dabble in hinduism; support this whole notion of "new age" hinduism in which all the scriptures of all sects are considered one religion and the varnashrama and sexism are ok. I dont know to many vaishnavas or shaivites in traditional orthodox paramparas that believe there is a "trinity" of brahma, vishnu, and shiva. there is a notion in the west particularly that hinduism is one unified religion and that osho and vivekananda and the theosophy society are amongst its greatest exponents. it pains me, that this caste ideology and refusal to dig deeper exists amongst the people.
