What is Rudra Yaga and How Can It Help The World

Rudra normally refers to Lord Shiva who according to popular belief is

the God of Destruction. In the Vedic Tradition however Rudra has another

meaning as Rudra is the Divine Being whose eyes are filled with tears of

compassion. When Rudra sees people suffering these tears spontaneously

drop from his eyes and manifest in the form of the Scriptures which

embody the techniques for overcoming pain and misery. Those same tears

also manifest in the form of Saints and Sages and Herbs and the Healing

Sciences. That is why not only the Scriptures but also the Science of

Ayurveda, Physicians, Saints, Sages and Herbs are said to be living

forms of Rudra

Eight different aspects of nature are the direct manifestations of Rudra

and they are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, The Sun, The Moon and the

Life Giving Force. Gaining Knowledge of Rudra and cultivating proper

respect for all of his manifestations and serving Rudra by serving these

manifestations is called Rudra Yaga. Anything Good and Auspicious and

anything that keeps us Healthy and Happy and anything that helps us

attain freedom from pain and misery is Rudra and worshipping that Rudra

is called Rudra Yaga.

Here worship does not mean just performing rituals or participating in

some sort of ceremony., In Sanskrit Yaga means " to give, to serve, to

contribute, to share, to sacrifice, to become part of " . Therefore

Rudra Yaga means that you contribute to the well being of nature that is

the direct manifestation of Rudra. By serving natures forces you serve

yourself and you serve creation and you serve the creator. This requires

self sacrifice and that is why Rudra Yaga and other highly evolved

practices are called "Sacrifices " .
