SHIVA

YET ANOTHER DAY WITH THE SUN RISING AS USUAL. THE

BIRDS PEEPING OUT OF THEIR NESTS TO GO SEARCHING

FOR THEIR FOOD. THE GENTLE BREEZE AS USUAL BLOWING

ITSELF GENTLY TO CARESS THE SELF, UNSEEN BY THE EYES,

YET MAKING ITS PRESENCE FELT ON THE SENSES OF THE

SKIN GIVING A FEELING OF CARESSING THE BODY BY ITS

TOUCH.

BUT WHAT WAS DIFFERENT OF TODAY? IT IS MAHASHIVARATRI

WHERE PEOPLE GO TO THE TEMPLE MAKING BIG

ABHISHEKAMS AND POURING MILK AND HONEY. SPECIAL

ARCHANAAS ARE BEING CONDUCTED TO APPEASE LORD SHIVA

WHO WILL FEEL PLEASED SITTING UP IN HEAVEN FEELING

VERY PLEASED THAT HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CREATING GREAT

ARCHAANAS AND ABHISHEKAMS IN HIS NAME. IS THAT SO?

THE SHAIVITES DISCUSSING THE EXACT DATES OF THE

MAHASHIVA RAATRI, NOT TO MISS THE DATE TO MAKE

SHIVA FEEL GOOD THAT THEY REMEMBER HIM AND SATISFY HIM

WITH PAAL ABHISHEKAMS!

THE IT COMPANY EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO

ATTEND GOING TO THE TEMPLE HAVE MORE ADVANTAGE.

THEY CAN NOW CONDUCT ABHISHEKAMS AND ARCHANAS

THROUGH THE INTERNET BY PAYING MONEY RS.500 OR

RS.1,000 , ACCORDING TO THE POOJA THEY CONDUCT.

AND WONDERFUL, THE PRASADAM IS DELIVERED RIGHT

AT THEIR DOOR STEPS.....

BUT THE BEST PART OF ALL THIS IS, WHAT IF HE [SHIVA]

IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE TO SAY THIS

IS NOT WHAT I WANT. ALL THIS IS NEVER GOING TO MAKE

ME HAPPY BY ANYWAY. LISTEN, LISTEN FRIENDS.

I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO COMMONLY USE SOME

COMMON SENSE AS PART OF YOUR LIFE. I DO NOT WANT

YOU TO PLEASE ME WITH ABHISHEKAMS AND POOJAS. I

WOULD BE PLEASED AND ONLY BE GRATEFUL TO YOU JUST IF

YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, BE GRATEFUL FOR TODAY.

ENJOY THIS MOMENT WHICH IS A PRESENT - PRE-SENT TO

ONE AND ALL. BE GENTLE TO THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP .

SHUN YOUR EGOS TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PERSON.

UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS NOT JUST ABOUT DESIRES ALONE,

TO OBTAIN THE MATERIAL AND BECOME POSSESSIVE ABOUT

EVERYTHING AROUND YOU. EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE

IS A GIFT AND A GIFT WHEN SHARED BECOMES JOY......!

IF I TELL YOU ALL THIS WILL YOU PEOPLE ACCEPT ME ?

IS MY VERY QUESTION ???

ALL THIS, ARCHANAS AND POOJAS THAT YOU PEOPLE

HAVE CREATED ARE CREATED OUT OF GUILT THAT

THE SINS OF YOUR PAST ARE GOING TO BE WASHED

AWAY IF YOU CONDUCT SPECIAL ARCHANAS FOR ME.

I DO NOT REALLY WISH FOR ALL THIS AT ALL, AND NEITHER

HAVE I WISHED FOR ALL THIS IN ANY PAST. THIS IS ALL

CREATED BY PEOPLE SITTING ON SILLY PEDESTALS WHO

JUST TO MAKE SOME EASY MONEY, MAKE INNOCENT

PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO FALL ON THEIR FEET MAKE, CREATE

SOME UNWANTED MYTHS.

PLEASE ACCEPT YOURSELF AS, AS YOU ARE CAUSE YOU

ARE THE PERFECT CREATION OF DIVINITY.

CHANGE THE ATTITUDE WHICH MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.

THIS IS ALL THAT I WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO DO....BUT

THEN, THIS IS WHAT WILL HELP YOU TO MOVE FORWARD

AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF WITH MORE CLARITY.

I CAN ONLY REQUEST YOU TO STOP ALL THESE POOJAS

THAT YOU KEEP CONDUCTING TO PLEASE ME, AS HONESTLY

SPEAKING ALL THIS ACTUALLY PUTS ME OFF!

THIS BODY IS THE PERFECT TEMPLE CREATED BY DIVINITY

AND THE MIND DEVOID OF ANY CONFLICTS OF THOUGHTS

MERGING WITH ITS OWN SELF, THE DIVINITY ITSELF.

AGAIN I ASK, IS ANYONE WILLING TO CHANGE? DO YOU

REALLY THINK ANYTHING OF ALL THIS WOULD REALLY

HELP YOU IN ANY WAY? THEN BELIEVE ME, I AM WAITING

FOR YOU AT YOUR VERY OWN TEMPLE!

WITH LOVE SHIVA...
