Abhishekam means “sprinkling” or “wetting,” and refers to the ritual of pouring water or other sacred substances on a Linga while chanting Vedic mantras or shlokas. Whatever is offered in abhisheka gets charged with powerful vibrations of the chanting and the touch of the Divine symbol. Of the items that are offered, the sacred water and other substances which are edible, like sugarcane juice, coconut water, Panchamrta-Milk, honey, curd, ghee& sugar are then distributed as Tirtha or Prasad. Haldi, Kumkum, chandan, bhasma etc. are poured for gardening. Nothing is wasted.Why is Abhisheka done?1. To express our love and gratitude to the Lord2. To pray to the Lord to purify our mind and bless us with more devotion, knowledge and selfless service.3. It represents continuous flow of thoughts to the Positive& Divine. 4. Helps one to invoke Divine Grace for fulfilment of material and spiritual desires. 5. The best of substances - chandan, kumkum, haldi - are poured in devotion on Him. The best in us must be poured in HIS seva. 6. The greatest and the highest Abhisheka is to pour the waters of pure love on the Lord in one's heart. External abhisheka leads to internal abhisheka eventually and unites one with the Lord.#Shivaratri #mahashivaratri #abhisheka #shiva
We always ask how did this creation come about? In Pure Consciousness which is Infinite, there is no creation since Infinity means beyond space, time and causation. 5 elements that make up this creation are by themselves inert and can do nothing by themselves. Yet we see so much dynamism in the creation. So how did this creation come about? Shiva linga indicates the answer to us. Shiva Linga is the combination of matter(prakriti) and Consciousness(Purusha or Shiva Tattva). Matter enlivened by Consciousness is the entire creation with all its diversity and dynamism. For a devotee the Linga lifts the mind to the state beyond body and mind, to the state of Shiva, the 4th state of Consciousness which is the support of and yet beyond the 3 states of Consciousness: Waking, dream and deep sleep. When one contemplates on the 4th state one realises - I am not this prakriti or inert Body, Mind and Intellect. I am Shiva. I am Consciousness. Shivoham Shivoham. I am the very source and substratum of creation.#harharmahadev #shiva #shivalingam #linga #lingam#consciousness #shiva #creation[shiva, linga, vedanta, shiva purana, bhagavad geeta, swami chinmayananda, advaita, purusha, prakriti]

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, visionary artist and acrylic painter, business owner and entrepreneur, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, social media content creator and host of her own podcast called ‘She Got Away' on YouTube, and someone I'm honored to call my dear friend: Kibbi Linga In case you're new here or missed Kibbi's incredible first testimony episode, here is a brief recap to catch you all up!Kibbi was born into a satanic cult that she believes was multi-generational and her abuse started at birth. The cult was headed by her mother who was a high priestess and who was also Kibbi's main abuser. Her family hid behind the cover of Catholicism and would use inversions of religion as an excuse to perpetuate abuse. Kibbi and her siblings, in turn, would experience religious abuse in addition to the horrors of satanic ritual abuse and and sexual abuse. Kibbi's mother would lead the rituals, and her father was in charge of the clean-up afterwards and finding the children and babies her mother would use for rituals. Some of Kibbi's first memories involve seeing the world through LSD and feeding her baby dolls ‘potion' - which she now knows was a conditioning method to train her and her siblings to drug their future children and pass on the generational trauma. Kibbi would be put in cages, was forced to watch and partake in human and child sacrifices and would have to navigate dealing with a narcissistic mother. Kibbi told herself as a child that she would one day get away, be an artist, and expose her mother - and after years of being silenced, that is exactly what she is doing today. On today's episode, we continue to weave through Kibbi's life, exploring the intricate roles both her parents played in her story. Her father, unlike her mother, presents a more complex figure in her memory - part abuser and part father looking for redemption, he embodied the confusing love-hate relationship that many children of abuse navigate. Understanding this duality is crucial, not only for Kibbi's narrative but for anyone seeking to comprehend the psychological impact of living in such environments. Kibbi will also be diving deeper into her art, revealing the stories and memories behind each piece, showing how every brush stroke was a step toward healing. Her paintings are not mere decor; they are dialogues, conversations between her past and present, her pain and her passion. Through her art, Kibbi teaches us a most invaluable lesson: that from the most profound wounds can grow the most exquisite beauty, offering a visual testament to resilience. Kibbi's life is an inspiring saga of turning trauma into triumph, where each painting is a chapter of her autobiography written in color, light, and love. Her story is a beacon for all who feel lost in their pain, illustrating that with courage, creativity can be the key to not just surviving but thriving.

Kibbi was born into a satanic cult led by her mother. Her family hid behind the cover of religion and would use inversions of religion as an excuse to perpetuate abuse. As a child she says she was forced to watch and partake in human sacrifices, as well as incest. Kibbi told herself as a child that she would one day get away, be an artist, and expose her mother - and after years of being silenced, that is exactly what she is doing.

This episode covers the last part of chapter 13: “If you work hard, you will get there...” to the end of the chapter. Summary: As Ram Gopal Mazumdar narrates an inspirational story (one that is particularly useful for us) we wonder if it is ‘enlightening' simply to hear it with devotion. Soon afterward, Paramahansa Yogananda receives the grace and blessings of seeing flashes of light, we find readings from Sister Gyanamata's diary that also cover this topic - what if we don't (yet) see them? Guruji also offers us some suggested visualisations to experience the omnipresence of a Linga. 00:43 Summary of prior episode; 23:53 No goodbyes; 33:50 Undo; 42:15 Takeaways from the Chapter 13; 48:06 Looking ahead to the next episode/chapter 14.

Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson kynnir á morgun , klukkan níu, sitt fyrsta fjárlagafrumvarp. Þetta verður söguleg stund í íslenskri stjórnmálasögu því Sigurður Ingi er fyrsti Framsóknarmaðurinn í nærri hálfa öld til að vera fjármálaráðherra. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson reifar það helsta sem búast má við í frumvarpinu og ræðir það við Finnbjörn Hermannsson, formann ASÍ. Skorradalshreppur er eitt af fámennustu sveitarfélögum landsins og hefur ítrekað hafnað sameiningu við stærri sveitarfélög. Meirihluti hreppsnefndar samþykkti að hefja formlegar sameiningarviðræður við Borgarbyggð í júlí en stjórnsýslukæra og undirskriftasöfnun íbúa gætu sett þær í uppnám. Gréta Sigríður Einarsdóttir fjallar um málið og ræðir við Jón Eirík Einarsson, oddvita Skorradalshrepps. Rússnesk yfirvöld, með leyniþjónustuna FSB í broddi fylkingar, hafa á síðustu árum handtekið, ákært og dæmt á annan tug vísindamanna í margra ára fangelsi vegna meintra landráða. Vísindamennirnir eru sakaðir um að hafa deilt háleynilegum vísindagögnum með útsendurum erlendra ríkja. Þeir - og verjendur þeirra - benda á að þeir komi hvergi nærri hönnun þeirra hátæknvopna sem þeir eru sakaðir um að tala óvarlega um í annarra eyru, og hafi einungis starfað við grunnrannsóknir og fræðastörf á sínu sviði. Þeir hafi einungis rætt viðtekin vísindi og alþekktar kenningar á ráðstefnum erlendis, en engin ríkisleyndarmál. Ævar Örn Jósepsson segir frá. Umsjón: Ævar Örn Jósepsson Tæknimaður: Mark Eldred.
Send me a DM! ILY All!Today I'm honored to introduce you to: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, artist and acrylic painter, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, content creator and host of her own podcast called @shegotawaypodcast on YouTube, and someone I'm honored to call my new friend: Kibbi Linga!I met Kibbi on TikTok where we made a divine connection through our combined audiences who introduced us and I immediately knew she was someone whose testimony and story would have a tremendous impact on all of you - and I can't wait for those of you who are new here to meet her and for those of you who already follow her to get to learn more about her. Kibbi was born into a satanic cult that she believes was multi-generational and her abuse started at birth. The cult was headed by her mother who was a high priestess and was also Kibbi's main abuser. Her family hid behind the cover of Catholicism and would use inversions of religion as an excuse to perpetuate abuse. Kibbi and her siblings, in turn, would experience religious abuse in addition to the horrors of SRA and SA. Kibbi's mother would lead the rituals and her father would be in charge of clean up after the rituals, and finding the children and babies her mother would use for rituals. Some of Kibbi's first memories involve seeing the world through LSD and feeding her baby dolls ‘potion' - which she now knows was a conditioning method to train her and her siblings to drug their future children and pass on the generational trauma. Kibbi would be put in cages, be forced to watch and partake in human sacrifices, and would have to navigate dealing with a narcissistic mother. Kibbi told herself as a child that she would one day get away, be an artist, and expose her mother - and after years of being silenced, that is exactly what she is doing today. Kibbi has a loyal and supportive following on her social media platforms including Instagram and TikTok, and just recently dove into the world of podcasting where she started a channel on YouTube called, ‘She Got Away'. Kibbi uses her platforms to create content to help educate listeners on things such as SRA and SA, dissociation and DID, coping and healing from extreme trauma, explaining how criminal activities intersect with unspeakable acts of sexual abuse, and so much more. Kibbi has a passion for igniting conversations crucial for awareness and understanding of these very real abuses that society looks away from and she uses her voice to help her own healing journey, to give a voice to trafficked children, to spread awareness, and to help other survivors.

As we pointed out in the previous episode, ours is a celebratory culture. Almost every day in our calendar is filled with a celebration of nature or episodes from our rich itihasas and puranas. Our ways of celebration are equally rich and diverse. Today, we will be talking about the festival of Maha Shivaratri. So, when does Shivaratri occur according to the Indian calendar, traditionally known as the Panchangam? The 14th day or chaturdashi of Krishna paksha just before the new moon marks Shivaratri every month, making it 12 Shivaratris in all, but the Shivaratri that falls on Krishna paksha chaturdashi in the month of Magha, or Phalgun, depending on the specific panchang is called the Maha Shivratri. To discuss this festival, we have Sheela, a Shivabhakta, and a working mother. Shalini and I will be talking to her about the festival and how she celebrates it as a person from the Lingayat community. Namaskara and welcome, Sheela.Sheela: Namaskara Rekha, Shalini. Thank you so much for having me on your podcast.Rekha: It's a pleasure to have you on our podcast. Shall we dive right in? First, can you help us understand the significance of the festival? And what are the stories behind Shivaratri?Sheela: Sure. As we all know, the Shivaratri is celebrated every month or there is a Shivaratri every month, or day before the amavasya is considered Shivaratri every month. But in the Magha maasa, we celebrate Maha Shivratri. It is believed that when the samudra manthana happened, there was amrita and visha that came out of the samudra manthan, after the churning of the sea. So when the poison had generated, it caused a lot of problems even to the God. So Shiva offered to consume this haalahala is what they call it. So it so happened that when he consumed it…Shalini: Sorry, what is called haalahala?Sheela: The poison or visha, what we say. Vish, that is called haalahala. Okay, so amrita and haalahala, is what it's called. Shiva is the Lord of the world, is what we call Jagaddodharaka. So for the uddhara of pruthvi or this sampoorna loka, he came forward and said that he would consume that and dissolve that so it doesn't affect the whole world. So when he consumes this haalahala, when it's flowing down his throat, Parvati comes and holds his throat so it doesn't enter his body system. So that's how his throat has turned blue. So if you if you see the picture of Lord Shiva, it is always shown that his neck is blue in color, that's the reason he's also got the name Neelakantha. We can relate this to a story like how in the villages, if a person is bitten by a poisonous snake, he is kept awake for 24 hours. So that is what happened when Shiva consumed the haalahala, all the devas and devatas and the devis kept him awake by singing and dancing and performing different activities. This kept Lord Shiva awake. So that is a reason that we perform pujas on Shivaratri. So in the same way they did not eat anything. It's it's also…you can think this way; like if the head of the family, okay is unwell, can we eat anything? We won't be in a mood to eat because he's unwell. So that was one of the reasons they did upavaasa. Upavaasa also has an explanation for the word. “Upa” was, it said that, “at the threshold of God”. Vaasa means “living”, right. So at the footsteps or at the threshold of God's presence is what is upavaasa, they say. So, that was one of the reasons why they do upavaasa. And why they do jaagarane. They stay awake with the Lord, to help him overcome this, this reaction of the poison, okay by keeping him awake, because once a person sleeps, it may damage the whole system. And that was one of the reason why they keep the person who consumes or who has been bit by sneak awake for 24 hours.Shalini: I think you should come again on that upavaasa bit. Because vaasa, as you said, That's understood that you're talking about the abode of somebody, or where somebody stays, what does upa mean?Sheela: Upa means near and vaasa means to stay.Shalini: Okay, you're staying near the God who has consumed this haalahala. And you're keeping vigil for that person, with him. Right?Sheela: Along with him. Yeah, any fasting is called upavaasa. So you're close to God, it means that you're close to God.Rekha: Okay, so the purpose of fasting is to be close to God, not just to simply abstain from food. The whole purpose behind any kind of fasting upavaasa that we observed for many of our rituals and festivals is to not eat and thereby stay close to God think thinking of our devi or devata? Whichever occasion.Shalini: Right. This is very interesting, what we use the term upavaasa is to denote fasting, but the word itself does not have that meaning at all. Actually, I think it's an interesting word. It just occurred to me when you said it.Rekha: Yeah, I'm thinking it may have something to do with the proliferation of two meanings. You know, Sanskrit is a language that, that has different meanings for every word. So when you say, yeah, so in some way, I think what we are referring to by using the word upavaasa must be its underlying meaning, not the on the surface meaning of just staying away from food, but the underlying reason for it. So that has become coming into usage.Sheela: I would like to add something to this is when you're doing something that you want to achieve, or something that you like to do, or enjoy doing it, you're focused on it. When you're focused on something; imagine a child that likes to play, okay, doesn't think of food or anything, who's enjoying doing the whole act of playing, will not think of food or anything to drink. The game. Shalini: Very interesting point that you know, because when all focus is on some activity, you really are not concerned about food, drink anything. You're concerned only about what you're doing. So I think that's a great point.Rekha: Especially all of us definitely know how hard it is to drag a screaming child away from play to eat.Shalini: That's, that's absolutely true. Yeah. Sheela: So all of us become children when it is the creator that the supreme energy, soShalini: That's very, very nice way to put it. Yeah. So, Sheela, Shiva is worshipped in many forms, okay. I mean, you see a picture of Shiva on on his vaahana which is Nandi. Sometimes you just see a picture of Shiva with Parvati and their children, but the most common one is the form in which he is worshipped as a linga. So, why do you think that Shiva is represented as a linga?Sheela: Okay. Like, we all know energy does not have a shape. So, Shiva himself has no shape is what they say.Shalini: Yeah, I mean, Linga also actually means just a representation no in Sanskrit? Linga is the sign,Rekha: Yeah, the representation of Shiva linga. Linga is the word in Sanskrit word for a sign. So Shiva is represented as a linga and a linga is column of light with no beginning and no end. And when you worship Shiva as a linga, it just means you worship him as this unending, infinite source of light and fire. It's supposed to be a column of fire with no beginning and end. And interestingly the Jyotirlingas are well known to all practitioners of Hinduism. So the Jyotirlingas are supposed to be manifestations of this column or pillar of light, it's also called as sthambh. So the manifestation of the stambh in 12 different locations across India is the story behind Jyotirlingas. And some of the Jyotirlingas, where Bhagwan is represented as a column of light is places like Kedarnath, Mahakal temple in Ujjain.Shalini: There is Trimbakeshwar in Maharashtra, also Bhimashankar in Maharashtra too, I think, yeah, then I think Somnath is also one of the Jyotirlingas right?Rekha: They say that these are all swayambhu forms of Bhagwan because the Jyotirlingas are swayambhus which means that they have manifested by themselves without installing. So that is the significance of the 12 Jyotirlingas.Shalini: So Sheela, Rekha has been saying that, you know, a column of light, fire. Actually, Shiva is always represented in this fiery form. There's always a kind of very intense energy associated with him, you know, why is that?Sheela: Yes, as I mentioned, in the beginning, Jagaddhodharaka. So, he is believed to take away all the negatives from the creatures of his own creation, right. So he has created this world is what we believe. So in this world, whatever negatives that are there and that's the reason we go to any temple, okay? To gain energy from them, we don't go there to ask for something, we just try to, it's like, we are recharging our energies, okay. So, every time when we talk, we always say, think positive be positive, okay. So, it is believed that Eeshwara or Jagadeeshwara or Jagadoddharaka draws all the negatives. So, when he is taking all of the negatives, like how he consumed the haalahala, he is considered to be you know, his system is they say that he's very hot. So, any shaivaite if you ask them… He is believed to be abhisheka priya is what they say. If you go to any Shiva temple, you will see that there are drops of water falling on the Shivalinga that is there in the sanctum. It is said that the Shivalinga always needs to be cooled down like, you said Agni or fire that he's holding in his system has to always… you have to cool it so, that's one of the reasons why these water drops keep falling on the Shivalinga. And even if you can connect that to your family as such, it is believed that eeshanya moole in vaastu is what they say, in a house where the north and east coincide is called the eeshanya corner Okay. So, in that corner, even now in certain houses, they follow this ritual of or custom of keeping a vessel of copper or any vessel that has water and so, it is believed that when you keep this water which has to be changed every day, and the vessel has to be clean, and you refill the water, this signifies that like every house has an owner, so to keep them calm or the whole setup of the house to be calm, it is believed that when you keep water there it keeps the whole house in a positive energy or positive environment.Shalini: So that vessel is supposed to absorb all the negativities that arise in that space and imparts the positivity. Sheela: Yes, because that corner is believed that is where Shiva is residing and that is one of the reasons they especially that corner if any house as that corner of it is good to make use of the space to keep at least a small vessel of water.Shalini: So what are what are the abhishekams that Shiva basically likes?SheelaShiva is as I mentioned is abhisheka priya and like how they say Vishnu is alankaara priya. So Shiva is abhisheka priya and you can just do abhisheka with water, nothing else. The least could be water otherwise, just panchamruta abhisheka is what they do normally. Or as we all know, he puts vibhuti, the ashes. So, since he's fond of vibhuti, so vibhuti is another thing but otherwise just by water. Me being a Lingayat, there were times when I used to not get flowers when I used to live in certain places. Even now when I do puja, since we have to do puja to our linga that we wear, every day it is said that we have to do thrice a day but with all the lifestyle that we have, I ensure that at least once in the morning, soon after my bath, I do the puja. I just apply vibhuti and the sandal paste and I just pour little bit of water and that is what is sufficient to keep him happy.Shalini: It's very interesting. All the things that you mentioned, they're all coolants also. Water is a coolant, vibhuti is a coolant, sandalwood paste is a coolant, panchamruta is a coolant. So, I mean it's very consistent. Okay, if they say that he absorbs all the negative energies and so gets heated up and needs to be cooled. All the things that you're using to do abhisheka with for him are also coolants you know, so there is really no inconsistency in our practices. It's really beautiful to see this.Rekha: Just as Sheela pointed out, abhisheka priya and alankaara priya! What are these two? You know, Bhagwan Shiva is known as abhisheka priya and Vishnu, any Avatar of Vishnu is supposed to like decoration, flowers, all the beautiful and aesthetic things. Whereas Shiva is more from an ascetic tradition. So Shalini, do you remember the discussion we were having when we discussed what it means to be a Hindu? And choosing one's ishtadevata?Shalini: Yes, absolutely.Rekha: What Sheela has just said, ties into our devis and devatas having different personalities, you know, one liking the decoration aspect, one being more ascetically inclined, and how beautiful, how naturally diverse the tradition is and how we can choose an ishtadevata, depending on what resonates with our personality..just wanted to point that out.Shalini: Exactly, exactly. That's what I'm saying. It's very consistent, you know, the theories, the practice, everything is consistent. It's for us to discover and appreciate it. It's really, every conversation that we have makes me more and more appreciative of the depth and profundity of our traditions. It's simply amazing. Okay, Sheela, while you were growing up, what was a typical festival day like? How did you celebrate the occasion of Maha Shivaratri?Sheela: Alright. And as a child, what I can remember is, we wouldn't get to eat anything that's made with rice or we wouldn't eat any cooked form of the rice. And my parents used to fast without having any grain. Okay, if we felt hungry, the food that we used to get would be fruits or anything that is made with wheat, and we would try our best to cooperate with our parents by not asking for any food because they are fasting themselves. So it wouldn't be right asking, demanding for something but then it was always a treat to have chapati because that was that is I'm sure even now, like my children, they like to eat chapati. It's not rice. And the whole day from morning till evening, they wouldn't eat anything. And again, they would have bath in the evening and all of us would have bath. And then they would do the abhisheka at home by chanting Rudra or simple Om Namah Shivaya is what we could chant. And then once the puja is done in the evening, around 6:30 or seven o'clock, I'm sure they used to even check for the right time when they will do the puja. And then once that is done, followed by phalahaara is what it's called. Any upavaasa they say phalahaara, it's phala, ahaara; you can have fruits if you want to break your fast or you can have a snack which is made of wheat. Normally in our house, my mom used to always make something with wheat, that would be upma. That was the common thing that would be made. And then we used to get to eat dry fruits and all with which we could eat any fruit if we feel hungry after we break the past. But there are some people who will not have anything at all. They may just have juice sometime, tender coconut is considered to be cooling. So they consumed a coconut and there are certain temples, like there's a temple near our house where I live. There on Shivaratri they have the tender coconut abhisheka. Elaneeru abhisheka is what they call it. So, they will be there they perform this on Shivaratri. And on that day, any temple that you go, a Shiva temple, they will serve you with prasada which will either be dates or it will be some snack which is made of wheat, like upma, is what they give in that temple also. So, there are a lot of devotees who contribute, they volunteer to sponsor the prasada on that day. So it is from morning till the next day morning that they keep, like, you know, puja keeps happening. But this elaneeru abhisheka happens till the evening, then there is another puja again, then there is a different alankaara of vibhuti that they do. And then it is followed by the bhajan and all that that they do.Shalini: Yeah, so you you stay up all night? Or that was the practice, maybe it's not so anymore, but people would stay up all night, right? Yes. And what what would you do? I think you mentioned why we stay up. Because we are also keeping vigil along with the Lord so that, you know, he doesn't fall asleep and swallow that poison, which could affect him. So I think that's why we stay awake. But what would you do staying awake?Sheela: So once you break the fast at home, when we used to break our fast, the next custom was to take us to the temple. So in those days, we had to walk a lot to go to a particular temple that my parents used to visit. So they used to be two, three Shiva temples that they used to take us to. So we used to walk after this, go visit… the farthest temple would be the first place that we would visit. So on our way back, we would go to another temple and then a temple that is much closer to where we used to stay then. Once we visit the temple, the next thing that would happen is to keep us awake for some time, they used to play a movie. So it was a standard movie. I remember two, three years, it would be the same movie. It used to be Shiva Purana story where, like Parvati is dreaming of being married to Lord Shiva, like all of us know the story, right? So the parvata raja story. And this was a movie that used to be played there. And that would go on for probably till midnight, till one o'clock, we used to stay in the temple. And then we used to walk back home. And you will see people all around that community moving around, so it wouldn't be like it is night. So we would come back and we would sleep. I really don't remember if my parents used to stay awake, but when we get up, they're awake again. So in the morning, that's how it used to be.Rekha: This also shows the importance of community right? But for having a community it would be much harder to motivate children to stay awake or to take part in these festivities. But having a connectivity makes it so easy.Shalini: Yeah, and you're right because there are plenty of families also who are taking advantage of big community celebrations in places like Sadguru's Isha plus, I think there is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living, they also have a whole night program for Shivaratri. So, I think there are opportunities to do things as a community. And then of course, there are the temples also, which always I think do full night programs on Shivaratri, yeah,Rekha: Yeah, there are so many temples that have all night programs. So, you know, even the littlest ones can be taken to these programs, there are cultural events. And I have noticed the very little ones who come to see, like a music performance or a dance performance done by the older children and they get fascinated and they they beg to they ask their parents, can I also start learning so you know, these kinds of things are facilitated when you start having them participate. In India it is actually quite easy to find a local Shiva temple that has all night programs.Sheela: In villages, normally they follow this jaagarane ritual very devotedly. There are plenty of temples which will have singing, there'll be some people who will be telling stories and be narrating stories. So they ensure that they are awake and there will be small children, they are the ones who will be the most energetic because it is believed on this day. They say that you can gain a lot of energy, especially for saadhaks who are looking forward to achieve something or to do some saadhana. They say that this is an ideal day to do your upavaasa and your jaagarane. So small children definitely enjoy the celebration, especially the jaagarane because it's, it's something unusual, they let them stay awake the whole night.Rekha: Speaking of all night activities, and jaagarane, we can see how the performing arts play a major role in the life of a practicing Hindu. Shiva in his form of Nataraja, the king of natya is just so relatable for kids, don't you think? It is just such an active beautiful, aesthetic image and that's one easy way for kids to connect this whole thing of performing arts and Shivaratri. And then performing in a festival, staying awake at night and performing in a festival..Shalini: dancing the night away with some rules and we cannot have any sort of dancing. ButRekha: That's true. Terminology is so important. Coming back to terminology which we touched in the very first or second podcast. So, dance is not simply dance for us. It is natya. Music is not simply music. It is sangeeta. Practitioners of classical dance, the gurus who make it a point to mention this. I remember meeting one of the renowned gurus and he had specifically said what is dance? Don't use the term dance. It is natya.Shalini: yeah, I think that's that's something that we have to consciously do every day, you know, shed a little bit of the English, start using our own words, then the associated meanings also will come to us. And I think we'll all be better for that.Rekha: Maybe we can also stop saying gods and goddesses and say devatas and devis, and..Shalini: yeah, devatas and devisSheela: I would like to add something to this devi and devatas, devatas and devis. When you're referring to a couple they will always say Srimati and Shri, they will never say Shri and Srimathi. Unlike in English, they'll say Mr. and Mrs, no?Shalini: Wow! That is something that's a very, very interesting point that you brought up.Sheela: Even if you see, when you see an invitation, a wedding invitation, it will always be Srimati and Shri. So, the importance of a woman or the respect that is given for a woman is shown from not now, but from the ancient days. So they always give a lot of respect for a woman in Indian culture. Everywhere.Shalini: Little things no, that we have not actually paid attention to but it makes a world of difference. You always write Srimathi and Shri. You will never write Shri and Srimathi. It even sounds wrong, you know.Rekha: That's because we've grown up hearing it said - Shrimathi and Shri, Devi and Devatha, it just flows so well. You notice that Shri itself means Lakshmi, right? Shalini: Correct. Correct. I was going to raise that too! Good, you raised that Rekha.Rekha: Can this word ‘Mr.' ever mean “Goddess"? Think of how preposterous that sounds!Shalini: ‘Mr.' can never have a feminine element in it, no? Rekha: Just like how Eve was fashioned out of a rib of Adam!Shalini: Correct! Very very interesting point. Things that we generally tend to not notice. Ok Sheela, as a Shiva Bhakta or a family of Shiva Bhaktas, how do you initiate a child into the practice?Sheela: In our community, we have a custom that we follow. Its a part of community rituals, when a child is born, we do a ritual called Linga dharna, which we do on the 11th day after he or she is born. And we call the pandit of our community to come and perform this ritual, where a child is tied a linga. In our house, my daughter also got this linga dharana done when she was born. As a child she used to always ask - you know children are curious, they like to always do and be a part of every ritual and later on it fades off.. but my daughter just a couple of years ago also used to ask, whenever she saw us doing puja. She used to ask, “even I want to do linga puja”. Even we as children were supposed to wear it every day, but because of our lifestyles and we move out and go to different places, we aren't allowed to wear this as there is a ritual that you need to follow and do puja everyday to the shiva linga. Shalini: Meaning that if you wear the linga you have to do the puja everyday. So if you are not able to do it, you should not even wear it - that's what you are saying, right?Sheela: I wouldn't say to not even wear it but you need two do justice right? It's called atma linga, it's close to your heart, so it's almost like the god within you. You are worshipping the god within you in the form of linga so you keep it close to your heart and that's how you wear it in the Lingayat community also. Not everybody wears it, but if you do, you should keep it close to your chest, and you have to perform the puja thrice a day - morning, afternoon and evening also. We used to get an opportunity to do the puja for this linga whenever we used to do rudrabhisheka for Shiva on Shivarathri day, so we used to also get to do the puja, apply the bhasma and the gandha and all that. So we tried the same thing with my daughter when she wanted to do the puja. We got her to hold her linga and we taught het to do the puja and she used to like do it even after Shivaratri for some days. Since she used to ho to school, I used to give her an option that she could do it on her holidays, so she would consciously ask for the Shivalinga to do the puja. That is what we do over here. Normally on Shivaratri as we keep chanting Om Namah Shivaya as we are reading the shloka or the Rudra or the different Stotrams that they read for Shiva. Each house follows each way of doing puja. We make her sit with us and put the bilva patra on the Ishwara. All the lingas are kept in a plate after the abhisheka is done and we start chanting Om Namah Shivaya and we get her also to put the bilva patra on the linga.Shalini: Bilva patra is the leaves of the bilva tree no? which is also something that Shiva likes very much.Sheela: Yes yes. Its called bilva patra or bilpatre or bel in Hindi so that's how we get to be a part of the puja. Somewhere even when they say, “I don't believe in all this”, slowly as they grow up, as the transformation happens, children will get drawn to it when it is inculcated in them as young, small children or even as teenagers. Children need to be told why this is done so once you get a justifying explanation you start believing.Rekha: Sheela, so if a child cannot do the ashtotram by himself or herself, they can chant Om Namah Shivaya 108 times right? As a way of worshipping the linga, isn't it?Sheela: Right, right. If you can chant 108 times, good. If you can't, you can keep telling how many ever times you can chant. So there's nothing that you have to count for 108 times. If you can chant when you are doing the shiv puja every day for how many ever times, good for you, because all of us have time constraints, right?Rekha: And this mantra is incidentally called the Shiva panchakshari mantra, right?Sheela: Yes.Shalini: I think we've had a very, very enlightening, interesting, enjoyable conversation and we have talked about more than just Shivaratri. I think our listeners would enjoy this podcast as much as we enjoyed putting it together, so with this we come to the end of this episode. Thank you Sheela. Thank you for joining us and sharing so many experiences, and thank you Rekha, and we will meet our listeners once again in a fortnight's time. It's going to be yet another festival, the festival of Holi and we will be speaking to another guest about Holi. Until then namaste. Keep well.

I have posted articles on how the rays of the Sun touch the Idol in the sanctum, the shadow of the Idol is present all day, the list is long. There is an ancient temple near Myiladuthurai, where The Lord Shiva‘s Idol changes its colors five times a day coinciding with the Kala Pooja, the poojas conducted at fixed hours daily. Located near Valangaiman/Papanasam near Mayuram,Kalyanasundareswarars?Pancha Varneswarar temple,The Self born idol of Lord Shiva changes colors Five times a Day during the day.

There is a school of Thought which considers that Lord Shiva was a Human being and He composed poems in Tamil. I am looking into the legend and verify whether there is any truth in this. This may sound ludicrous for rationalists. The point is that I do not consider me to be super intelligent,right and correct at all times and others ,especially my ancestors were fools to believe anything,spend time and money to build huge marvelous temples. I have , in my Life ,seen many things which defy my Logic. They make/made sense as I grew. Hence I do not dismiss anything offhand by sheer arrogance. The open approach has yielded good dividends in History in that it has brought to light many truths so far hidden because self-importance and intellectual arrogance. The open approach has yielded good dividends in History in that it has brought to light many truths so far hidden because self-importance and intellectual arrogance. At the same time I do not belive or trust anything which is not supported by internal and external evidence. The proof of my labors lies in my posts in this blog. As to Shiva, I have noticed a lot of curious facts between Shiva in the South and the North, though they are the same. The Avatars of Shiva in the South were not reported in the North. Shiva as a family man with children is not as popular in the North as in the South. Mostly the legends of Siva in the North revolve around only the marriage of Shiva with Uma, and incidents connected with it, while in the South the information is more detailed and Shiva has been portrayed as lending a helping hand to people in distress. His avatars are different from the Avatars of Vishnu in that while Vishnu stayed in a womb Shiva is described as one who does not stay in the womb, Ayonija'; Tamil calls Him as Unborn Eldest, ‘Pirava Yaakaip Periyon'. Yet He appears in a Flash , helps people in distress and disappears. Sixty four of his Avatars of this nature are recorded in Tamil literature, all in the City of Madurai. He is reported to have married a Pandyan Princess Meenakshi in the form of Chokkanatha. Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple is dedicated to Meenakshi and Shiva as Chokkanatha/Sundareswara. These sixty-four avatars have not been recorded in any north Indian legends though some of them are hinted in Puranas, especially in Linga and Bhagavatha Purana. In one of these Avatars Lord Shiva composed a Poem in Tamil. This is it with meaning. This appears as the second poem in Kurunthogai, a Sangam Literature. The author is given as Iraiyanar, a Name for Shiva. https://ramani16.rssing.com/chan-22730849/article42-live.html --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message
Bharatvarsha , as explained in the Purans included the areas now we call as Australia,Egypt, Europe apart from Africa,present Confederation of Russia. Please read my posts on this subject under Hinduism. When compared to Hinduism, Christianity And Islam are of recent origin. It is a known fact that Muslims plundered the kingdoms they have conquered and carted away valuables, including Idols , calling the Idol worshipers as ‘kafirs' I am reproducing some photographic evidence.Now there is evidence that the Muslims carted a Shiva linga and had it installed it in Mecca and it is worshipped.headquarters of Islam too (namely in the Kaaba temple in Mecca city of Saudi Arabia) the ancient Hindu Shiva Linga may still be seen. This cylindrical stone, rendered immovable for security by being fixed in the outer corner of a wall, is the object of reverence of all Muslims. Here Muslims still continue the seven perambulations in the age old Hindu style except that they move anti-clockwise. White silver foil shrouds the stone. The oval uncovered central portion gives the pilgrims an idea of how the stone looks. Syrians had once carried away the stone as a war trophy and kept it for 22 years.The King Vikramaditya inscription was found on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, proving beyond doubt that the Arabian Peninsula formed a part of his Indian Empire. (Ref: page 315 of a volume known as ‘Sayar-ul-Okul' treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey). King Vikrama's preachers had succeeded in spreading the Vedic Hindu sacred scriptures in Arabia and Arabs were once followers of the Indian Vedic way of life. The annual fair known as OKAJ which used to be held every year around the Kaaba temple in Mecca and the present annual hajj of the Muslims to the Kaaba is of earlier pre-Islamic congregation. . Even to this day ancient Siva emblems can be seen. It is the Shankara (Siva) stone that Muslim pilgrims reverently touch and kiss in the Kaaba. The Kaaba has 360 idols. Traditional accounts mention that one of the deities among the 360 destroyed when the place was stormed was that of Saturn; another was of the Moon and yet another was one called Allah. That shows that in the Kaaba the Arabs worshipped the nine planets in pre-Islamic days. In India the practice of ‘Navagraha' puja, that is worship of the nine planets, is still in vogue. Two of these nine are Saturn and Moon. In India the crescent moon is always painted across the forehead of the Siva symbol. Since that symbol was associated with the Siva emblem in Kaaba it came to be grafted on the flag of Islam. The Hindu Vedic letter in Sanskrit “OM” if seen in a mirror one can see the Arabic numbers 786 and this is the most sacred number for Muslims and copies of the Arabic Koran have the mysterious figure 786 imprinted on them. In their ignorance simply they do not realize that this special number is nothing more than the holiest of Vedic symbols misread and none of the Arabic scholar has been able to determine how they chose 786 as the sacred for them. In short muslims are also going around Siva Lingam at Kaaba, seven times as Hindus go around it seven times.A few miles away from Mecca are a big signboard which bars the entry of any non-Muslim into the area. This is a reminder of the days when the Kaaba was stormed and captured solely for the newly established faith of Islam. The object in barring entry of non-Muslims was obviously to prevent its recapture. Kaaba is clothed in a black shroud. This custom also originated from the days when it was thought necessary to discourage its recapture by camouflaging it. Another Hindu tradition associated with the Kaaba is that of the sacred stream Ganga (sacred waters of the Ganges river). According to the Hindu tradition Ganga is also inseparable from the Shiva emblem as the crescent moon.

I have written a few articles on Shiva Linga in Mecca OM is 786, Muslims Worship Shiv Lingam At Mecca Masjid Al Haraam Says Islamic Site, Prophets Uncle wrote Siva Sthuthi, A Prayer On Lord Shiva, Sapthapathi of the Marriage ceremony of the Hindus and Navagrahas are found in Arabia, Aravasthan is Arabia. The Prophet, after signing a treaty with tribes the Medina Treaty, stormed Mecca and destroyed 360 Idols housed there. There is Kaaba Stone which is believed to have been of Abrahamic times. People are not permitted to take videos or photographs of the inside of the room. The room seems to contain an Idol, the worship of which is prohibited in Islam. Now let us see what a a surreptitiously taken video and an article in a web site run by Pakistani Defense Think Tank say. Video is below. One can see an Idol resembling Shiv Linga there. And watch the Video, and look at the clock for the time of opening the Room. 5.20 to 5.45! Shivas Pradosha Time! Details at www.ramanidblog.in. titled Shiva Linga In Kaaba Opens At Pradosha Video Pakistani Web Site. The article from Pakistan Defense Thin Tank Site. ‘Arabia is an abbreviation. The original word even today is Arbasthan. It originates in Arvasthan. As observed earlier Sanskrit “V” changes into “B”. Arva in Sanskrit means a horse. Arvasthan signifies a land of horses, and as we all know Arabia is famous for its horses.In the 6th and 7th centuries A.D. a wave of effecting a complete break with the past spread over West Asia. All links with the past were broken, images smashed, scriptures des- troyed, education discontinued and the entire West Asian region took a plunge in abyssmal ignorance which lasted for centuries thereafter and perhaps persists to a certain extent even today because if in the whole world modern scientific and educational developments find stubborn and entrenched resis- tance anywhere it is in the West Asian countries. It is said that the late Saudi Arabia ruler could not permit a radio broadcasting station opened in his own capital because of oposition from his Maulavis. He then resorted to a stratagem. Once while he had his council of Maulavis in attendance he had a radio set switched on to a program of Koranic recitation broadcast from a small transmitting station set up earlier without much ado. The Maulavis were delighted, so goes the report, to hear the word of Allah coming to them as if from nowhere. The king told them that what objections could they have to a mechanism which broadcast the word of Allah. The Maulavis agreed and the small radio broadcasting project was at last ratified.According to Encyclopaedia Britannica and Encyclø- paedia Islamia the Arabs are ignorant of their own history of the pre-Muslim era. By a strange euphemism they call it a period of ignorance and darkness. Probably no other country in the world has deliberately written off a 2,500 year period of their own history by systematically stamping out and snapping all links with the past. They have wiped the memories of pre- Muslim era off their minds. So while they chose to remain ignorant of their past ironically enough it is they who dub the pre-Muslim era as a period of ignorance.Fortunately we can still trace the history of that pre- Islamic Arabia. It is a well known adage that there is no such thing as foolproof destruction of all evidence. The pre-Islamic history of Arabia is the story of Indian Kshatriyas over that land, with the people following the Vedic way of life.In our attempt to reconstruct the story of pre-Islamic Arabia we begin with the name of the country itself. As explained earlier the name is fully Sanskrit. Its central pilgrim centre, Mecca is also a Sanskrit name. Makha in Sanskrit signifies a sacrificial fire. Since Vedic fire worship was prevalent all over West Asia in pre-Islamic days Makha signifies the place which had an important shrine of fire worship.Coinciding with the annual pilgrimage of huge bazaar used to spring up in Makha . --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

He is worshipped by the husband (“esha”) of Lakshmi (“Kamala”) and has a bull (“vrushabha”) for his mount (“turangam”). He resides (“angam”) in the heart (“antara”) of the lotus (“kamala”) faced (“vadana”) Guruguha. Notes: This is the first of the Tiruvarur Panchalinga kritis. Composed in praise of Sadachaleswara. The song refers to Tiruvarur as Chamatkara (“miracles”) pura (“town”) or the town of miracles.The reference to the lamp burning with water instead of oil pertains to Naminandi Adigal, a devout Sahivaite who is credited with the creation of the Kamalalaya Tank. In a tussle with the Jains, he is said to have won, by lighting a lamp at this shrine, using water instead of ghee. There are three references to the lotus in this kriti. The Achaleswara sanctum is still the place where lotus garlands are prepared for the Tiruvarur temple. The Achaleswara temple is a fine example of early Chola architecture and abounds with sculptures. It is said to be a model for the Big Temple in Tanjavur. Dikshitar introduces the raga mudra, by using the word Bhupala, which also means King. The suffix “aadi” used in this word (“bhoopaalaadi”) also refers to the talam to which the song is set!
