Incarnations Of Lord Shiva

[Guest guest]

Dear Group Members,

 

We have all discussed the various incarnations Lord Vishnu has taken,

but I wanted to know something about the Incarnations of Lord Shiva.

I have heard that Hanuman is one of the incarnations of Lord Shiva.

 

Kindly enlighten us on this......

Shiv-Goraksha Babaji

 

http://www.hamsa-yoga.org/whoisbabaji.html

 

Shiv-Goraksha Babaji is the deathless Yogi of the Ancient of Days

In his hands he holds the evolutionary lightning of life and death.

He is the head, the heart, the seed and the soul of undying

knowledge. It is from him that all ancient avatars, prophets,

heirophants, and divine incarnations have sprung.

It is about him whom legends are rife the length and breadth of

India.People know him by many names, and yet he is called the

Nameless One. He broods over the infant humanties from eternity to

eternity. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but he shall be in the

here now, eternally to stay. The limited vision of sages, siddhas,

philosophers and yogis cannot pierce his transcendental star.

His spiritual stature is inconceivable.

 

He is the collective Elohim, the spiritual essence of the nine Nath

Lords combined. He is the great sacrifice who in a countless

supernovae explosion infused every atom of creation with his spirit

of livingness, wisdom and truth to redeem not only humankind but all

life and matter to their pristine state of consciousness.

 

Shiv-Goraksha Babaji is regarded as a manifestation of Lord Shiva

himself. He has bestowed upon humanity the practices to evolve human

consciousness, in particular, the divine alchemy of Shiva Shakti

(Kriya Yoga), which exercises a double action to hasten the volution

of the self soul. This expands the self consciousness and burns away

past evil karma.

 

Shiv-Goraksha Babaji is the founder of the Nath Tradition. He

reveals himself to only a few he chooses and usually remains

invisible, guiding humanity through his disciples. He has revived

the ancient science of God realization in modern times. His mission

continues to manifest through the work of his disciples.

 

There is a great mystery and a sacrifice to the ninth level of

Divine Awareness which is self born. This is the state of Brahm

Nirvana from which the ineffable Shiva Goraksha Babaji descends to

redeem humanity yet maintains his state. How this is possible is

known only to Him. He is the collective consciousness of the

seven primordial sages of the fire mist born at the beggining of

Time. He is the total light of the highest Elohim; and yet in his

unfathomable compassion has left behined a finite portion of His

Infinite consciousness to evolve humanity into the likeness of

Divinity. This finite and immortal portion of His Divinity

manifest amongst the haunts of men from time to time as the need

arises. Throughout eternity this Eternal Now watches over the

evolution of humanity till it is liberated. Truly called the

Visibile-Invisible Saviour of humanity, the great sacrifice!

 

Babaji is ever the same. He was never born and therefore can never

die. They call him aja (the unborn). But from time to time this

compassionate Lord of irradiant splendor does manifest for humanity

to do what needs to be done.

 

Pulling the veil of Maya by his own will he takes a form of

Lightless light to incarnate amongst the haunts of men. He guards,

guides and enlightens their consciousness as per their evolutionary

blueprint. His deathless body of lightless light may take any form

through which he can express and show himself to the faithful from

age to age. He took the form of Adi Nath Shiva himself of Rudra of

the Ancient of days. He then came 500 B.C. as Kal Agni Nath as

Dakshin Murti when he initiated himself then he manifest as Gorksha

Nath 70 B.C at the time of King Shalivahan and Chowrangee Nath.Then

in the same ever present immortal body he manifests as Shiv Goraksha

Babaji in the ninth centrury A.D.during the time of Guga Nath who he

empowered to have complete mastery over the Nagas and ultimately be

worshipped as a Naga God.

 

Goraksha Nath is himself shown in the supreme samadhi sitting as

Nagaraj upon a Yogic throne under which the Nine Nagas, Vasuki,

Ananta, Takshaka, Varuna,Padmaka, Sankhpala, Kulika, Mahapadma,

Karkotaka. Then the Lord of karma and destiny Shiva Goraksha Nagaraj

sat upon his throne to withhold the rain for 12 years and create a

drought to give the people of Nepal their Karmic retribution

thereby evolving their souls. The snakes, which were subdued to form

the asan throne were Varuna, white in color weaning a sevenfold

jewelled Nagahood;Ananta, carrying a jewel in a lotus in his hands

and took his position in the center of a dark blue hue in the east;

Padmaka, the color of a lotus stalk with five hoods in the south;

Takshala, the nine hooded saffron colored in the west;Vasuki, the

seven headed green took his position in the north; Shankha pala,

yellowish int he south-west; Kulika, the white with thirty heads in

the northwest; Karkotaka, the half human with snake tail of a blue

color in the southeast and Mahapadma, golden colored in the

northeast. When the soulds of Nepal had been purged of their sins

Matsyendra Nath appeared in Nepal, then Goraksha Nath got up to reet

him; the Nagas were released and copious rainfall was had.

 

It so happened that the great Matsyendra Nath journeyed to the

Himalayas and there did intense tapa and meditation. The Adi Nath

Lord Shiva was pleased,appeared to the Nath and asked him what he

needed. The great Yogi asked Shiva to give him a disciple greater

and more perfect than himself. The Lord answered and said, You are

already perfect and have attained the final enlightenment. But

Matsyendra Nath insisted so Lord Shiva said that he would himself

manifest as his disciple. Then from the Heart of Adi Nath the

Eternal Shiva Goraksha Babaji ensued an irradiant flame of splendor

and the Mahavatar Shiva Goraksha Babaji was manifest in the

spiritual realm; ready to inhabit a grosser body. So Matsyendra Nath

gave to a woman wanting a child some holy ash (Vibhuti) from his

bag. The spirit of Goraksha was in the Vibhuti but the unbelieving

woman threw it into the dirt and the dung heap. Unperturbed by this

act, the spirit of Goraksha still grew and when Matsyendra Nath came

to the place and called to the woman she was sorry for what she had

done and told him her story. Then the Lord of compassion Shiva

Goraksha arose from beneath the dirt and mire of our earth to

cleanse and free the earth and its people from the same dirt and

dung which covers their souls. To give us the radiant love and

nectar of the Divine through Kriya Yoga Meditation.

How does this tie in or dove-tail with the 'shiva-shakti' expression

of Lord Shiva through the three saibabas as claimed by Sathya Sai

baba? Shirdi, Satya and Prema??

 

Curious,
