Lord Shiva and his Worship

[Guest guest]

represents OM from which all languages are formed. It is He who formed the

Sanskrit language out of the Damaru. The crescent moon indicates that He has

controlled the mind perfectly. The flow of the Ganga represents the nectar of

Immortality. Elephant represents symbolically pride. His wearing the skin of

the elephant denotes that He has controlled pride. Tiger represents lust; His

sitting on tiger’s skin indicates that He has conquered lust. His holding a

deer on one hand indicates that He has removed the Chanchalata (tossing) of the

mind. Deer jumps from one place to another swiftly. His wearing of serpents

denotes wisdom and eternity. Serpents live for a large number of years. He is

Trilochana, the three-eyed One, in the centre of whose forehead is the third

eye, the eye of wisdom. ‘Hoam’ is the Bija Akshara of Lord Siva. He is Sivam

(auspicious, Subham), Sundaram (beautiful), Kantam (effulgent). “Santam Sivam

Advaitam” (Mandukya

Upanishad). I bow with folded hands crores of times at the lotus-feet of that

Lord Siva who is non-dual, who is the Adhishthana, or support for the world and

all minds, who is Sat-Chit-Ananda, who is the Ruler, the Antaryamin, the Sakshi

(silent witness) for everything, who is self-effulgent, self-existent and

self-contained (Pari-purna), who is the remover of the primitive Avidya and who

is the Adi-Guru or Parama-Guru or Jagad-Guru. That Lord Siva I am in essence.

Sivoham, Sivoham, Sivoham.

the famous Ramesvaram. Lord Siva is the Lord of Ascetics and Lord of Yogins,

robed in space (Digambara). His Trisul (trident) that is held in His right hand

represents the three Gunas—Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. That is the emblem of

Sovereignty. He wields the world through these three Gunas. The Damaru in His

left hand represents the Sabda Brahman. It represents OM from which all

languages are formed. It is He who formed the Sanskrit language out of the

Damaru. The crescent moon indicates that He has controlled the mind perfectly.

Siva represents the destructive aspect of Brahman. That portion of Brahman that

is enveloped by Tamo-Guna-Pradhana Maya is Lord Siva who is the all-pervading

Isvara and who also dwells in Mount Kailas. He is the Bhandara or store-house

for wisdom. Siva minus Parvati or Kali or Durga is Nirguna Brahman Himself.

With Maya-Parvati He becomes the Saguna Brahman for the purpose of pious

devotion of His devotees. Devotees of Rama must worship Lord Siva for 3 or 6

months before they take to worship of Rama. Rama Himself worshipped Lord Siva

at the famous Ramesvaram. Lord Siva is the Lord of Ascetics and Lord of Yogins,

robed in space (Digambara). His Trisul (trident) that is held in His right hand

represents the three Gunas—Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. That is the emblem of

Sovereignty. He wields the world through these three Gunas. The Damaru in His
