MahaSwamigal used to be delighted if any devotee brought Kondrai Poo (Cassia Fistula flowers) when they came to see Him, the reason being it was the favourite flower of Lord Shiva. One day a devotee came to see Him bringing with
him a basket full of that Kondrai Poo. He looked at that basket for one full minute and asked, "What else did you bring in that basket?"
"Only Kondrai Poo".
"No, you have not only brought the flower but also an ornament for Lord Shiva!” He said.
Nobody understood what Swamigal

"No, you have not only brought the flower but also an ornament for Lord Shiva!” He said.
Nobody understood what Swamigal
was referring to. He asked the devotee to take the basket some distance away and to empty its contents in a bamboo plate. Suddenly a snake came out of the basket and slithered away!
Filled with excitement the devotee told Him what had happened. Swamigal smiled at him and said,

The Internet has become an active source of false and manipulated content. You must be aware of the knowledge you seek. Many people have misunderstood the real meaning of linga in ‘Shiva Linga.’ The western world has compared linga to a sex organ many times. But, the word linga
consists of a deeper meaning. The word ‘linga’ in Sanskrit means symbol (chinha). Moreover, the Agama text explains by breaking the literal meaning into two primary pieces where ‘ling’ means to dissolve or destroy whereas ‘ga’ means to emerge or create. The intended meaning is
that we all are creations of Lord Shiva (universe), and at the end, we all dissolve back into him. Thus, Shiva Linga marks the cosmos of our universe. Now, you know the real meaning of Shiva Linga. Further, you must be wondering what does the linga symbolizes. To answer this part
FEBRUARY - MONTH TO CONNECT WITH DIVINE ENERGY OF SHIVA
Generally, February is regarded as a great month for love. No doubt western culture has a major effect on our youngster’s mind today. But in reality,the month of February holds an altogether a different meaning in our life.

Its actually the month of devotion. Its the month for offering prayers and connecting to higher energies. Its the month to meditate on the name of ‘formless’. Its the month to seek blessings of ultimate truth in this world.
It’s the month to connect with divine energy of SHIVA!

Shiva is MAHAKAAL i.e. he itself is time. Actually he is beyond time and space. He is eternal God in the form of pure,infinite, indestructible consciousness which is omniscient and omnipresent. He is all benevolent therefore known as BHOLA among its devotees.

Take a "backup" child
On this auspicious occasion of #Shivratri, I was thinking of Him & Parvati.
They have two children--Ganesh & Subramanya--and I think that everyone should emulate Them.
Many people seem to prefer to have just one child, which isn't right fm #Jyotish angle.

A friend saw both her younger brother & father die. This indicates affliction of 7H in mother's chart.
If 7H is afflicted, you shouldn't have second child.
But if 7H is unafflicted, you should have two children.
What if you don't take backup?
Let's see in the next few tweets.

I know a nice person who has built a large temple (temple=9H; land=4H).
He lives in a palatial house opposite the temple (4H=residence).
4H hurts 5H bcoz it is 12th (loss) fm 5H. His only child is no more.
Sad to see such people who build temples suffer, but karma is so cruel.

In this first method there is no abhisheka done on the Rudraksha/s although that is also possible.
This method, you sit down and do a panch upchara puja to the Rudraksha/s facing East. Use a yellow/red coloured asana.

Siva Sutra 1.3 Yonivargah kalasariram
"The universe is the product of the energy of illusion & its classes, direct/indirect- responsible for the rise of one's body & own individual world".
That is to say, when one is limited in action/knowledge-that is called yonivarga. (1/4)

Kalasarira is the embodiment of actions. Every action impacts your knowledge, mind & thoughts leaving an impression. Kala means being bound to a particular time, space and form.

Because of the impurity (anavamala), which is limited action/knowledge, Caitanya is lost & absorbed in attachments of objects. This along w the limited ego unites with sense organs & 3 Gunas (tendencies-sattva/rajas/tamas), results in 'Universal I' perceived as 'individual I'...
शिवकथा!
बात लगभग सन १३६० के आसपास की है। आज के बिहार के विस्फी गांव में एक कवि हुआ करते थे जिनका नाम था विद्यापति। कवि के साथ - साथ भगवान शिव के अनन्य भक्त और उपासक थे। भगवान शिव ठहरे अवघड़ अवधूत विद्यापति की भक्ति रचनाओं से खुश होकर उनके साथ कुछ समय व्यतीत करने का मन बना लिए।

फिर क्या था एक दिन धर लिए रूप गंवार का और आगए विद्यापति के घर और कहने लगे रख लो नौकर। उनकी दैनिक स्थिति दयनीय थी सो वो राजी नहीं हुए। पर शिव को तो रहना था तो राजी हो गए सिर्फ दो समय के खाने पर हीं। विद्यापति की पत्नी सुशीला ने सुझाया कि रख लो दो समय का खाना हीं तो खाएगा।
एक दिन उगना विद्यापति के साथ राजा के दरबार में जा रहे थे। तेज गर्मी के वजह से विद्यापति का गला सूखने लगा। लेकिन आस-पास जल का कोई स्रोत नहीं था। विद्यापति ने उगना से कहा कि कहीं से जल का प्रबंध करो अन्यथा मैं प्यासा ही मर जाऊंगा।

2. दर्शन करके मंदिर से बाहर निकली तब मीडिया जगत से जुड़े कई लोग उपस्थित थे, उन्होंने बहुत सारे प्रश्न किए, किंतु एक महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न ड्रेस कोड के बारे में था।
3. मैंने उसका उत्तर दिया जो इस प्रकार है-
"मुझे पुजारियों द्वारा निर्धारित ड्रेस कोड पर कोई आपत्ति नहीं है, मैं जब अगली बार मंदिर में दर्शन करने आऊंगी तब वह यदि कहेंगे तो मैं साड़ी भी पहन लूंगी। ...
