Bhairavananda 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 Hello, i am an American and a devotee of Shiva. I feel that I worshipped Shiva and Kali in a past life, but now I am wondering: is it a punishment to have taken birth as a westerner? I am afraid that in my next life I might lose this connection to Mahadeva as a result of such a birth. In this life i feel a great sadness at the lack of opportunity for satsang and blessings of holy places. Thank you for any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more away you from your lover (Mahadev/Satsang) the more strong desire to meet wih ur lover arises. As far as the desire to love mahadev is there you are blessed. Don't think that if u were in then u must have realized. there are many in india who does satsang & visit holy places but havenot realized. So surrender to Shiva & keep remembering/worshipping him. shiva is everywhere he is always with you. dont think -ve. I assure if you keep loving Shiva then you connection with shiva will continue in next birth too... Om Namah Shivay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
