dear shiv bhakts

om namo bhaagwate rudraya

 

"sarvam shiva mayam" and i bow to the shiva in you.

 

in this sacred group all shiv bhakts have joined together to sing

the praise of lord shiva and his glory to seek his blessings.

 

all members are encouraged to post directly in the photos section of

any shiv mandir they visited or any miracle or experience related to

lord shiva.

 

also if any member wish to share any mantras, knowledge, information

on lord shiva as attachments, they can attach the files directly in

the files section. due to the recent virus spams, has removed

attachment of files while sending messages to groups and hence a

file can only be attached in the files section and an url or link of

the same can be given.

 

in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes and regards

is with either DRAVIDIAN OR some cast or other and there seems to be no

possibility of opening their minds to eduation..thinking..etc... is there

some way to improve up on the situation? It is not that these people should

not support one or other, but the opportunity for them to hear, listen and then

for their mind to work on??? we all have been hearing of farmers and other

people committing sucide. while every political party has tried to take

advantage of that, no one seems to be serious to take stock of the situation

and handle it. do we have some way to see what could be done? we do have so

many temples all around. we all visit the temples to pray the Almighty for

getting something or other.. In most of the temples, except for Pooja, the

pujari has no contacts with the devotees.... Is there a way we encourage the

pujaris to

take up to the study and discussions on Upanishads etc...instead of confining it

to puranas only? Study of Upanishads reveal that this knowledge is most

beneficial for us to handle our life in a better way...not mere

spirituality...but our day to day life... But then this needs teachers who can

relate the teachings of Upanishads to the daily problems we come across.. I

wish our these groups also spare a few minutes to find out ways and methods -

Hindu parents sell their children and anybody can buy them from a price range of

Rs. 5000 to 20000. The continuous terrorist activities ravaged a region, and

the poverty stricken parents use the money to pay off their debt. Anybody ever

thought about the fate of the boys and girls thus sold out? Boys will spend

their rest of life as a bonded labour, but what about innocent girls? We

may find a lame excuse for this plight. All are because of their past karma.

But other religions never

preach but they practice. Christians organize orphanages, Muslims build Yateem

Khanas as a part of their religious worship places. But what Hindus do for the

poor, beggared and bereft section of their own society? Instead, we throw

money to temple cache, bribe poojaris, spread gold sheets around the roof of

the temple, but what for, the motive is ‘selfish moksha’. We really need a

paradigm shift

in our thinking and action. Best regards, Devan K ram mohan anantha pai

Dear Devan,

 

The problem is selfishness, over the period hindus

have become self-centered, either it is their caste or

state or their ego itself.

 

It is not a problem with the religion, but the hindu

spiritualists over the period have become stale,

instead of helping people to grow spiritualy in love

and compassion they show hope of false moksha (short

cut to moksha) They do this in short-sightedness.

 

A lot of families are suffering and have become

disfunctional because the head of the family is in

search of non-existant moksha to avoid challenges in

the current and future lives. This is because the

current spiritual gurus teach detachment from people,

love and compassion.

 

This is a big cycle, all the religions will follow the

same, since hindusim is old, it is getting more

rusted.

 

Some one like swami vivekananda has to be born again

to wake up people from their ignorance.

 

Om namah shivaya,

Divakar.

Saivism is the world's oldest religion. Worshiping God Siva, the compassionate One, it stresses potent disciplines, high philosophy, the guru's centrality and bhakti-raja- siddha yoga leading to oneness with Siva within. Aum.

Saivism is ancient, truly ageless, for it has no beginning. It is the precursor of the many-faceted religion now termed Hinduism. Scholars trace the roots of Siva worship back more than 8,000 years to the advanced Indus Valley civilization. But sacred writings tell us there never was a time when Saivism did not exist.Saivism's grandeur and beauty are found in a practical culture, an enlightened view of man's place in the universe and a profound system of temple mysticism and siddha yoga. It provides knowledge of man's evolution from God and back to God, of the soul's unfoldment and awakening guided by enlightened sages. Like all the sects, its majority are devout families, headed by hundreds of orders of swamis and sadhus who follow the fiery, world-renouncing path to moksha. The Vedas state, "By knowing Siva, the Auspicious One who is hidden in all things, exceedingly fine, like film arising from clarified butter, the One embracer of the universe--by realizing God, one is released from all fetters." Aum Namah Sivaya.

 

God Shiva is known by various names. One of his names is Bholenath, which means the innocent God. Shiva as Rudra is regarded as the destroyer of evil and sorrow. Shiva as Shankara is known as the doer of good. Lord Shiva has "Trinetra" (divine vision). He is also known as "Nilakantha" (blue necked). This is because of the fact that he consumed the poison 'Halahala' to save the world from destruction. Lord Shiva as Nataraja represents the Divine Cosmic Dancer. Shiva is also known as Ardh narishvara, which symbolises both man and woman.

 

 

Even though he represents destruction, Lord Shiva is viewed as a positive force (the Destroyer of Evil). According to Shaivism, Shiva is not merely a destroyer but performs five functions :

  • Creator Preserver
  • Destroyer
  • Hiding the sins
  • Blessing

Whatever you see, see as Shiva and do not be distressed, O mind! Those who are free from agitation and who the senses five control will surely win the bliss of Shiva. The path prescribed by your religion you should always tread, and live in changeless, silent contemplation. Whatever you see, see as Shiva.

 

Natchintanai, "Whatever You See..." NT, 68

 

Shiva is Maha Kal the Lord of All Lords Even Lord Rama,Krishna,and Vishnu Worshipped Lord Shiva He is Maha Yogi,he is Not Sangara Priya You Need Not decorate Him with jewels and materialistic ornaments or Need not bring him any offerings that's why they say Brahma,Vishnu and SADA Shiv,because his existence is time less age less,see Ramayana,mahabartha you will find pandavayas ,kauravyas all worshipping lords Shiva, all the lords and Demons of 3 lokas worshipped him to get their desired boons,even the jungle tribes in remote places in sri Lanka,thai land,Malaysia and unknown islands believe and worship him its only mind heart and soul,No worly rituals and mantras to perform to reach him.He is Dev adi dev Maha dev he never took any avatars because there is one God Only demi gods comes to Restore with the blessing of Ultimate god,That's why in all Vishnu ,Krishna etc avatars The lords worshipped Mahadev lord Shiva.We don't preach we only meditate and Practice SHIVA-5 words,the Master of 5 elements

 

Water - Thiruvanaikoil

Air - Kalahasti

Fire - Thiruvannamalai

Space - Chidambaram

Earth - Kanchipuram or Thiruvarur.

 

Hope your doubts are Cleared i am not preaching of Shiva my concept is He is the Main Lord and god the Most ancient Lord worshipped by Devatas,rashis,munis ,and Sages, Some early sect of Brahims didn't like Shiva Concept of Equal rights to women,and not to allow them the privilege of Teaching religion,They found New sects of their own according to their own connivance and brought, sati system,and declared that women to only serve their husband ,

 

Do you Know The concept of Ardha Nareshwara.Or ardhanggini (lord Shiva shown as Half male and Half female)

 

(1) In the cosmic scheme man represents Purusha (the Person, Spirit) and woman Prakriti (Nature, primal Matter), both of whom unite to keep the world going. So goes the Vedic verse: ‘I am He, you are She; I am song, you are verse; I am heaven, you are earth. We two shall here together dwell becoming parents of children.’

 

This just one single point not in depth

 

The Ancient brahims Abolished the Savism concept which was practised in India and that time India was in peak of its glory they created caste system according to their occupation and classified according to their jobs which they do in daily life created upper and lower caste and ruled them and the kings which was major draw back in Hindu society which created chance and opportunities from other cultures to easily enter India and showcase our drawback and spread new religion In India The Mother of all religions which Once taught the world the art of war,science ,medicine dance Martial arts, many More is now stands divided

 

"Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is Oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits him best." - Swami Vivekananda)the saivism concept

 

Om Nama shivya

possibility of opening their minds to eduation..thinking..etc... is there

some way to improve up on the situation? It is not that these people should

not support one or other, but the opportunity for them to hear, listen and then

 

first up hindism is about opening your mind bording ur prospective on life.

embracing other cultures and loving ppl for who they are not who u want them to be.

 

for their mind to work on??? we all have been hearing of farmers and other

people committing sucide. while every political party has tried to take

advantage of that, no one seems to be serious to take stock of the situation

you cannot blame hindism about politics, so we can blame christianety on the reason y bush killing so much ppl in the middle east and his christian soilders raping little children lik 5 and 8 yrs.or the christian pastors having sex with little boys,or muslims blowing up there own ppl,for wat becuz they to cowerd to come out and fight.or u want pundits to ask for 10% of your salary because he dont want to work so he demanding money from ppl.or he telling a young gurl she hav a demon and then putting his penius in she an telling she that go take it out.thats is wat u want hindism to be:mad2: or a muslim guy and his frends gang rape his wife and the police laughs at her wen she reports it

and handle it. do we have some way to see what could be done? we do have so

many temples all around. we all visit the temples to pray the Almighty for

getting something or other.. In most of the temples, except for Pooja, the

pujari has no contacts with the devotees.... Is there a way we encourage the

pujaris to

take up to the study and discussions on Upanishads etc...instead of confining it

to puranas only?

why dont u try talking to the pujaries that might help if a group of ppl ask them i sure they would do it.

Study of Upanishads reveal that this knowledge is most

beneficial for us to handle our life in a better way...not mere

spirituality...but our day to day life... But then this needs teachers who can

relate the teachings of Upanishads to the daily problems we come across.. I

wish our these groups also spare a few minutes to find out ways and methods -

our culture is not perfect but we are plenty better than some, i love being a hindu and i love my father lord shiva.

to help improve the situation at the ground level sorry if i have said

something that is not meant for the group..that is because of my ignorance for

which my appolgies namaskaram to all pairam auromirra19 <NALINI2818 com (DOT) (AT)>

1.The term Taj Mahal is a corrupt form of the sanskrit term TejoMahalay signifying a Shiva Temple. Agreshwar Mahadev i.e., The Lord of Agra was consecrated in it.

2.The tradition of removing the shoes before climbing the marble platform originates from pre Shahjahan times when the Taj was a Shiva Temple. Had the Taj originated as a tomb, shoes need not have to be removed because shoes are a necessity in a cemetery.

 

3.Visitors may notice that the base slab of the centotaph is the marble basement in plain white while its superstructure and the other three centotaphs on the two floors are covered with inlaid creeper designs. This indicates that the marble pedestal of the Shiva idol is still in place and Mumtaz's centotaphs are fake.

 

4.The pitchers carved inside the upper border of the marble lattice plus those mounted on it number 108-a number sacred in Hindu Temple tradition.

 

5.There are persons who are connected with the repair and the maintainance of the Taj who have seen the ancient sacred Shiva Linga and other idols sealed in the thick walls and in chambers in the secret, sealed red stone stories below the marble basement. The Archaeological Survey of India is keeping discretely, politely and diplomatically silent about it to the point of dereliction of its own duty to probe into hidden historical evidence.

 

6.In India there are 12 Jyotirlingas i.e., the outstanding Shiva Temples. The Tejomahalaya alias The Tajmahal appears to be one of them known as Nagnatheshwar since its parapet is girdled with Naga, i.e., Cobra figures. Ever since Shahjahan's capture of it the sacred temple has lost its Hindudom.

 

7.The famous Hindu treatise on architecture titled Vishwakarma Vastushastra mentions the 'Tej-Linga' amongst the Shivalingas i.e., the stone emblems of Lord Shiva, the Hindu deity. Such a Tej Linga was consecrated in the Taj Mahal, hence the term Taj Mahal alias Tejo Mahalaya.

 

8.Agra city, in which the Taj Mahal is located, is an ancient centre of Shiva worship. Its orthodox residents have through ages continued the tradition of worshipping at five Shiva shrines before taking the last meal every night especially during the month of Shravan. During the last few centuries the residents of Agra had to be content with worshipping at only four prominent Shiva temples viz., Balkeshwar, Prithvinath, Manakameshwar and Rajarajeshwar. They had lost track of the fifth Shiva deity which their forefathers worshipped. Apparently the fifth was Agreshwar Mahadev Nagnatheshwar i.e., The Lord Great God of Agra, The Deity of the King of Cobras, consecrated in the Tejomahalay alias Tajmahal.

 

9.The people who dominate the Agra region are Jats. Their name of Shiva is Tejaji. The Jat special issue of The Illustrated Weekly of India (June 28,1971) mentions that the Jats have the Teja Mandirs i.e., Teja Temples. This is because Teja-Linga is among the several names of the Shiva Lingas. From this it is apparent that the Taj-Mahal is Tejo-Mahalaya, The Great Abode of Tej.
