ShivaSwaroop - Lord Shiva Hymn

Today is Mahashivaratri! 

Let’s worship Lord Shiva by a Hymn. The people who are totally unaware of Bharateeya (Indian) culture ask that who Lord Shiva is. How can He be the Almighty? When people ask such things with religious hatred, I really don’t understand how to answer. When we wish to gain some knowledge, we should be polite and really desperate for that. 

After chanting, singing this Hymn, please tell me, do you think Lord Shiva is the symbol of one religion only?

Also Lord Shiva is the Mahayogi, this hymn expresses The Sadhana Path of Mahayoga and self realization too.

deep deep silence which brings the inner peace

neither any Karma nor any tapasya

the peace comes with ease

'naturally'

mind dissolves in the natural breathing

conflicts vanish discovering the peace

this happens naturally

this is the 'Sadhana'

the place from which the ‘me’ comes

living the life with conflicts

forgetting the ‘soul’

dissolves again in the ‘Ocean of Peace’

Ocean of Love

the complete bliss

‘Me’ dissolves in the Shiva

the ‘Maya’ vanishes

this is the ‘Sadhana’

the Mahayoga

the Siddhayoga!

the bliss, complete bliss

is the sadhana

and

sadhana is the complete bliss

the ‘me’ becomes the Shiva

and

this is the Pralaya

by Lord Shiva!

the Aatyantik Pralaya!

Shiva is neither creation

Shiva is nor destruction

Shiva is the Ocean of Peace

which has no beginning, no end

Shiva can’t be found anywhere

Shiva is within you

Shiva is within me

always forever

Shiva is the Sadhana

and

 Shiva is the Salvation

Shiva is the Samadhi

and

Shiva is the Purity

The ‘Maya’ - The ‘Mind’ – The ‘Thoughts’

the good bad ‘Karma’

can’t stand even in front of ‘Shiva’

the ‘Tandav’ has begun

the purification inside has begun

Shiva is not the ‘Tamas’

Shiva is not the anger

Shiva Is only Bliss

only Bliss.

The concept of 'Aatyantik Pralaya' mentioned here is based on Puranas. Aatyantik Pralaya is self-realization, the realiazation of the oneness with the world. 

Also, as I am a Mahayoga disciple, I related Lord Shiva to Sadhana, the Nirgun - Nirakar Swaroop (The Ishwar who doesn't have any form and who is not bounded in the limits of Sattva, Raja and Tama.) 

On Mahashivaratri Festival, people drink ‘bhang’ which is considered as sacred Prasad! My request to all the devotees is, the spirituality means bliss without any reason, without any outside source or thing. Bliss is within us and when we discover it, it is the true Prasad of Lord Shiva. Intoxication is not Prasad!
