An Incident that disturbed me allot!! ...HELP ME!!

[Guest guest]

Hi guys.... im Dinesh from Malaysia, and 19 years old this year.As u

all know,im an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva...lately, my life has been

ultimately missarable, but i have not given up on Lord Shiva and

continue worshiping him with all my heart. But a priest told us that

we are actually under Perumal Naamam [under Lord Vishnu?? i think]..

but i told him that im under Lord Shiva, please excuse me...

 

I must say i cant chant any other Lords/Goddess mantra, its Alwiz OM

NAMAH SHIVAYA for me.... but i do pray to ALL of them & respect them

Equally as Eashwara.

 

Just this Saturday... i got up around 7am, my Lord Shiva locket chain

came out.... something which never happened in the last 4-5 years,the

chain has been hangging on my neck for a very long time. When i saw

the chain on my matress, i was shocked, then i thought logicly, ok

probably it came out coz i slept very messily... k...then my right

hand, only a particular part was hurting...when i take a look at it...

my veins were clearly poping out... when i look propaly, for my eyes,

it looked like a Lord Vishnu's Naamam...the U shape.... here i have

attachted the pics of my veins... plz take a look and advice me on

this incident.

every Saturday Morning.i think around 1 month ago i started going to

Vishnu????

without giving him my heart & soul.... What should i do.... please

ADVICE!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Namaste all. _/\_

 

This reminds me of another wonderful experience I had.

 

On our pilgrimage to Tirupathi of South India in 2003, I recall two

astonishing events that took place.

 

After finishing Darshan of the Lord Venkateshvara on the hill-top, our

family proceeded to visit His consorts in 'Manga Puram', at the

foot-hill. There were beautiful garlands made of fresh, fragrant red

roses being sold at the temple market. We bought a few and our family

members offered theirs while having Darshan of Sridevi, Alamelu Manga,

Padmavati Devi.

 

I didn't offer mine since our next stop was going to be 'Sri

Kalahasti', an auspicious famous abode of Lord Shiva and

I had saved one nice rose garland for offering Lord Shiva.

I had carefully hand-carried it in a damp towel all the way during an

hour-long ride and finally when our car stopped in 'Sri Kalahasti', I

stepped out holding it in my both palms.

 

You wont believe it, our car happened to be parked right in front of

Lord Krishna's temple!

 

The Dark Lord was wearing peacock feathered crown holding flute

in His hands, with a mischievous smile on His lips!

 

I have never imagined this. How on earth, this Krishna temple appeared

right in the sacred abode of Lord Shiva, and that too right before my

eyes without giving me a chance to escape or proceed any further!

 

My family members chuckled at me saying since my 'Ishta Deva' -

Beloved God was Lord Krishna, He would like to be lovingly

adorned by my garland offering!

For the reason of not to let it be handed over to Lord Shiva, the

temple of Sri Krishna stood right on my way to Shiva's main temple.

 

I too felt a strong urge to adorn my Beloved Lord with the rose

garland that I have brought so carefully for Lord Shiva. But the

priest was on his lunch break and no one to place it on the Lord.

I waited there for a while and there was no sign of priest's return.

The devotees in the temple asked me to place it on the Lord

by my own hands as the garland would be loosing its freshness if I

waited any longer.

 

So I did decorate the Divine Thief

Who stole the garland intended for Lord Shiva!

Or did Lord Shiva Himself make me place it on His Beloved!

Or is the Supreme truth of Their Oneness

being revealed here in this lila?

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!

Dear Dinesh Ji,

 

Only you or a siddh guru would be abloe to better understand your

situation. I would suggest that for the time being, continue with

your daily puja to Siva. It is quitre possible that during your

visits to the temple, there is something that you ought to have done

but omitted out of ignorance or memory slips....perhaps some kind of

karmic debt that you need to pay or servide you need to perform. If

there is anything, you will definitely find out in time.

 

In any of the above cases or even if it is anything else, you need

not give up your devotion to Siva. If you look at Siva linga, the

part of it beneath the ground represents Brahma, the middle portion

represents Visnu and the top represents Siva. Pray to a linga and at

once, you see of the the 3 deities in one.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

Bhupendra.

Namaste all. _/\_

 

I've celebrated Maha Siva Ratri on Feb 16, 2007 at Amritsar (City of

Golden Temple of Sikhs), Punjab, India. We visited a Shiva's Temple to

offer our respects that auspicious night.

 

This temple is famous for its crystal Shiva Linga which continuously

changes into many spontaneous colors!

 

We bought fragrant flower garlands at the temple entrance market to

offer to the Lord. As my friend placed hers over the Shivalinga, I did

not want to crowd the alter with more. So I felt like placing my

garland over Lord's Trishula (Trident) that was kept erect beside the

Shiva linga.

 

But the Trident was already decorated with a hanging flower garland.

I removed that one to offer mine so that the removed garland could be

enjoyed as 'prasad', or grace, as a remnant of humble offering by

devotees.

 

While removing the garland and adorning the Trident with the fresh

garland I brought, I couldn't help noticing the well placed large

Sanskrit inscriptions on the silver Trident of Lord Shiva:

 

" Sri Rama " !

 

I was thrilled to know Lord Rama Himself was standing here

and receiving my offering brought for Lord Shiva!

 

Of course, we've all heard this famous chanting:

 

'zrI rAma rAma rAmeti rame rAme manorame,

sahasra nAma tat tulyaM rAma nAma varAnane!'

 

 

Lord Shiva tells to His Consort Devi Parvati-

 

" O Delight of My heart, O My dear beautiful-faced Lady!

I Myself constantly enjoy the Supreme bliss, chanting the Divine Name

of My Beloved, - 'Sri Rama, Rama, Rama!' Which is equal to reciting

one thousand Names of Lord Vishnu, Sriman Narayana!! "

 

It is also stated by Sri Veda Vyasa:

 

'yatpAda paGkaja rajaH zrutibhirvimRgyaM

yannAbhi paGkaja bhavaH kamalAsanazca

yannAma sAra rasiko bhagavAn purAris

tam rAmacandram anizaM hRdi bhAvayAmi'

 

(Adhyatma Ramayana I.5.47)

 

- I fondly contemplate upon that Lord Ramacandra constantly in my heart,

the dust of Whose lotus-feet is searched for by the Vedas as well as

the lotus-seated lord Brahma, who is born from His very own lotus-navel,

and the essential Treasure of Whose Name is continuously relished by

Lord Shiva, the Connoiseur of Divine Love.

 

 

aakaashaat.h patitaM toyaM yathaa gachchhati saagaram.h .

sarvadevanamaskaaraan.h keshavaM pratigachchhati ..

 

'Mahabharata' has declared:

 

" Just as every rain drop that falls from the sky naturally flows

into the ocean, in the same way every worship or devotional prayer

offered to Him, by whatever Name you wish, or in whatever Form you

like, or whatever discipline you practice, ultimately leads to the

One, ultimate Infinite, Supreme Reality, Lord Keshava! "

 

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!

Om Namah Sivayah!

When we see the sky blue and then as if we are knowledgeable of sky and tell others look up there, that blue sky.....But then we know there is nothing there blue as we see, it is only a feeling due to the technicalities of lightSimilarly, Saguna is a process to grow ...GROW ...GROW OUT OF SAGUNA TO NIRGUANA, GROW OUT OF NIRGUNA TO AHAM BRAHMA ASMI...so there is nothing to disturb......process of learningprocess of removing the cover or IGNORANCE and uncovering or discovering KNOWLEDGEenjoy Pradeep Balakrishnan <balakrishnanpradeep wrote: Hari Om!

Dear Friend,

I must say at the outset that I am not an authority on any matter but

 

I would like tell you that they both are the same entity you are

probably being tested for your devotion to one of HIS forms by

HIMSELF

 

But in this world there are laws that HE has made and you have been

 

born in a particular lineage whose KULDEV is in the form of LORD

 

KRISHNA whereas your planetary configuration draws you to HIS form of

 

LORD SHIVA who can be your ishtdev

 

I would suggest that you ask guidance from your kuldev what you

 

should do to make your ishtdev happy.

 

HE keeps on playing with HIS devotees so go along with your prayers

as you will be guided by HIM only

 

I hope I am not being confusing.

 

Umesh khanna

Pranam, Dinesh. If the priest means that your kula deivam is Perumal, then, you should first offer your pranams to Narayana. As you know, there is Kula Deivam, Grama Deivam and Ishta Deivam. Kula Deivam helps us to reach our Ishta deivam. Also, Shiva's Beloved is Vishnu and Vishnu's Beloved is Lord Shiva. So. don't resist. Go with the flow. I hope this helps.

Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image,Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do,Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee."From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari

Dear Sri Dinesh ji

Namaste. I wondered to see your message. I am herby mentioning

my views about it.

As per my Guru teachings I can confirmly say that there is no

difference between Lord Vishnu and Lord Sambhu.Sri

Aadisankaraacharya also confirms the same in his Sivananda lahari as

" Banatwam vrushabhatwa mardhavapushaa bhaaryaatwa maaryaapate

ghonitwam sakhitaa mrudangawahataa cheatyadi rupam dadow

pujyaapujyatarassayevahi nacheat kova tadadnyodhikaha

 

menas :- Lord Vishnu assisted Lord Siva as an arrow in the

battle of Tripuraasura samhaara. The bullak of lord Siva is Vishnu.

The Vishnu is the wife of Lord Siva and he occupied His half body as

a female and as such Siva became ARDHANAAREESWARA. Lord Vishnu beats

the drums in the evening at the time of Sandhya Tandava of

Maheswara. As such we may not see any difference in betweeen the two

GODS.

The Sruti also tells the same as " SIVAAYA VISHNU RUPAYA

SIVARUPAYA VISHNAVE SIVASYA HRUDAYAGUM VISHNUH VISHNOSCHA

HRUADAYUAGUM SIVAHA YATHAANTARAM NAPASYAMI TATHAAME SWASTIRAAYUSHI "

 

You may worship Lord Vishnu or Lord Siva as you like . But when

you want to get anything speccifically by striving you may go on the

path shown by your Guruji only with specific mantra intiated by him.

 

You need not worry at all about the incident you faced and go

forward with bold. No power shall harm you until you are bold.

please study Swamy Vivekananda's teachings which shall helps you to

come out from the coverdness.

 

May GOD bless you with boldness, prosperity and victory

everywhere.

 

with blessings

Om Namah Sivayah!

 

Namaste.

 

I am also reminded of a very melodious verse from

Sant Tulasi Das's Rama Carita Maanas;

 

Lord Shiva tells His divine consort Devi Parvati:

 

Umaa kahahu mai anubhav apnaa

binu hari bhajan jagat sub sapnaa

 

My dear Lady, Uma,

listen to the great declaration of My own realization!

Apart from the loving devotion of Lord Hari,

the whole worldly existence is simply a dream!!

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!
