Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Because most ofd the pictures depict Him as a dark blue tone, but i thought only His throat is blue? Can someone tell me instances where devotees of the Lord have said that He is white, perhaps show-white in colour? I ask because i would like to have a mental image to worship God. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Dear Shriyash, It may be a matter of personal preference but I find the Shivlingam to be a very fascinating object. I can look at it for a long time - because everything about it is so unique and imposing. Maybe you can try meditating upon the Shivlingam.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hai, I too have the same thought. In "Thevaaram" songs in Tamil, Lord Shiva is described as "Ponnaar Meniyan" which means his complexion is like that of gold. Most pictures of South India dipict him in this golden tone only. I have attached some pics.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I am of same opinion as Charu Jagat. God Shiva and Goddess Kali appears in cosmic blue color (complete body in blue color). But we should not limit ourselves to accept appearence only in cosmic blue color.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I also think the colour in which Lord chooses to appear to a particular devotee depends on the blessing he is giving ....... the energy he is introducing ....... and offcourse the consciousness level of the devottee. I also have a question for the group........What is the significance of a white shivaling? Tarini upendra rao <upendrav2003 (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: I am of same opinion as Charu Jagat.

Avasa Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 It matters not what colour Shiva is but what the colour of the one that sees him is. What sees him has no colour. All colour is created by this One. Avasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
