I was sitting in my Drawing Room watching Television, Suddenly When I came across a Mythological serial on Lord Shiva, and a Thought passed by my mind..
Lord Shiva,as per Hindu Mythology is one of the most powerful and fascinating deity of the Hindu Trinity, who represents death and dissolution.He is considered as a Vairagi (the dispassionate one). For him, the worldly Pleasures did not mean anything at all..He was a Saadhak..
There is a story about the World as per the Hindu Mythology.It is said that Brahma(the creator),Vishnu(the maintainer), and Shiva(destructor and Transformer) Compliment each other..This means that Life on Earth is not Possible in absence of any one..The three coexists..
Long time ago there was a King named Daksh Prajapati who had a Daughter named Sati. Sati was one of the most beautiful Princess. Daksh Raja(King), was a firm believer of Lord Vishnu, He disliked Shiva..He once decided to inaugurate a Big and a huge Temple of Lord Vishnu…The Temple was spacious, the Idol of Vishnu was made,Celebration happened, but the idol refused to enter in the temple. Yagnas were done, but still the idol did not move from it’s place and refused to enter!!.The Idol maker was standing in a corner sad, Sati could not see her Father being insulted in the Court , she went to the Idol maker and asked “Why is the Idol not moving from it’s place”.He had Tears in his eyes, Daksh Called for his daughters to bring Parijat Flower for the yagna. Parijat was a rare flower.Sati with her sister wandered Forest , When she came across Rishi Dadhichi, who enlightened her about the existence of Lord shiva, and how the three forces Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh work together.The idol of Vishnu was incomplete without Shiva, that being the Reason for the idol not entering the temple.She went back and asked the Idol maker whether what Rishiji said was True..He Handed her the Shivalinga and asked her to fill the incomplete space in the Idol. She did what was instructed to her.The Idol Moved and it entered the temple. Daksh Raja was happy, but when he saw the Shivalinga he got angry and agitated and asked who was responsible for this? Sati Stepped forward.. Daksh was Frowning with anger.He Said her to Call Shiva, the Dhongi..She Closed her eyes, and with bhaav and picture of Shivlinga on her mind she Called for Shiva. Shiva Arrived. As soon as Sati Saw him She Fell in Love with the Vairagi. Against Daksh Prajapati’s beliefs, she still felt Love for him. She Did a Lot of Tapasya, and surrendered her bhaav (emotions) to the Lord Shiva.. Her Unconditional Love for the Divine,turned the Vairagi to Give in..Despite of all the difficulties from Daksha she still kept the flame of Love Ignited. And Sati and Shiva Got Married.
MORAL- THE DIVINE IS HUNGRY FOR THE EMOTIONS OR THE BHAAV WITH WHICH YOU LOVE HIM. LOVE CAN TURN A STONE INTO A FLOWER..BE THAT ANY RELATIONSHIP, LETTING GO AND SURRENDER IS IMPORTANT.WHEN YOUR MIND IS FEVERISH. YOU ENTANGLE YOURSELF IN LUST, BUT LOVE HAPPENS WITH TOTAL LETTING GO..CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND REMEMBER OF THE DIVINE,THE MASTER,.YOU WILL SEE THAT LOVE IS DIVINITY WITHIN YOU. AND WHEN YOU REALIZE THIS YOU SEE THAT LOVE IS AROUND YOU..LOVE IS YOUR EXISTENCE
