Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dear Devotees Coming back to the Message No. 5407 (from bhaktiboy) I can give you the following short information: During the Shivaratri night Sri Swamiji was narrating the famous story of the immortal Shiva-Bhakta Markandeya (from the Markandeya Purana). It tells us how through intense Devotion to Lord Shiva, who is the Lord of Death, we can get a prolonged life, a long and healthy life. He is the only protector from untimely death. I remember Sri Swamiji's statement in the year 1989 in Nuzividu: I AM ALSO LORD OF YAMA!! Yama will not trouble sincere Datta-Devotees! They will have an easy departing. This is His assurance to all the Datta-Devotees. They will definitely be protected by His Grace!! The second topic was from the the Skanda-Purana about Lord Shivas Pillar of Light, the LINGODBHAVA, which is known as having no beginning and no end. Nobody in the entire creation can find the beginning point and the endpoint. In this story Brahma's Ego got cutted (He lost his 5th head through Mahadevas hand). As he was apologizing for his wrongdoings and got very humble, Lord Shiva and Keshava appeared to him in a united form as SHANKARA-NARAYANA. OM NAMAH SHIVAYA Parvati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
