Podcasts about mahashivaratri

Shivaratri is made up of two words – Shiva & Ratri.  The word Shiva means – “Shete tishthati sarvam jagat Yasmin sah shivah shambhuh vikararahitah”  Shiva is the One in whom the entire universe rests, who is changeless and brings auspiciousness to everyone.  Shiva is Pure Consciousness or the very life-spark in our heart.  Consciousness is Sat-Chit-Ananda or Satyam Shivam and Sundaram.  Shiva means auspicious, beautiful. Consciousness alone is truly beautiful because true beauty never fades, is eternal and changeless. Our Body, Mind & Intellect are inert. They appear to be sentient and beautiful only because of reflection of Consciousness.   Ratri is formed of the samskrit root – Raa, which means to give. That which provides happiness and bliss is one meaning of Ratri.  Parvati is one who is born to Parvatraj Himalaya. She signifies Prakriti or Shakti. She is the source of all matter, energy and diversity. In Samskrit, Shiva is masculine gender word. Ratri is feminine gender, is symbolic of Prakriti or Shakti. Maha-Shivaratri is the union of Shiva & Shakti(Parvati).  It is also the night which provides illumination and bliss when Jiva unites with Shiva.   May we do tapasya like Mother Parvati, with single-pointedness, subtlety, purity and persistence to discover our oneness with Bhagawan Shiva and truly celebrate Mahashivaratri.  #shiva #shivaratri #shivarathri #hindu #hindufestival#parvati[marriage, shiva, festival, celebration, fasting, penance, union, wedding]

Story Transcript:Hi: दिल्ली का चांदनी चौक बाजार एक जीवंत और भीड़-भाड़ वाला क्षेत्र है।En: The Delhi Chandni Chowk market is a lively and bustling area.Hi: सरदी की हल्की ठंड और माघ का महीना मन को सुकून देने वाला है।En: The light chill of winter and the month of Magh provide a soothing feeling to the mind.Hi: चौक के संकरे गलियों में हलचल है, दुकानों की कतार लगी है और हर तरफ लोग महाशिवरात्री की तैयारी में जुटे हैं।En: There's hustle and bustle in the narrow lanes of the Chowk, lined with shops, and everywhere, people are busy preparing for Maha Shivaratri.Hi: अनजानी खुशबुओं से भरा यह बाजार हमेशा ही अनोखा अनुभव देता है।En: The market, filled with unfamiliar fragrances, always provides a unique experience.Hi: अनजली, एक उत्साही युवा महिला, आज इसी बाजार में आई है।En: Anjali, an enthusiastic young woman, has come to this market today.Hi: उसका मकसद है एक अनोखा और अर्थपूर्ण उपहार खोजना जिससे वह अपने परिवार को इस महाशिवरात्री पर खुश कर सके।En: Her goal is to find a unique and meaningful gift to make her family happy this Maha Shivaratri.Hi: अनजली के साथ उसका जिगरी दोस्त रोहन भी है।En: Anjali is accompanied by her close friend Rohan.Hi: रोहन अक्सर अनजली को व्यावहारिक सलाह देता है और आज वह अनजली की मदद करने के लिए तैयार है।En: Rohan often gives Anjali practical advice and is ready to help her today.Hi: अनजली जानती है कि आज का बाजार बहुत भीड़भाड़ वाला होगा और उसके पास बजट भी सीमित है।En: Anjali knows that today's market will be very crowded and she has a limited budget.Hi: लेकिन उसकी एक इच्छा है—उपहार को इतना खास बनाना कि उसके परिवार की श्रद्धा को सम्मान दे सके।En: But she has one wish—to make the gift so special that it can honor her family's devotion.Hi: बाजार की हर गली में रौनक है।En: Every lane in the market is lively.Hi: अनजली और रोहन हर दुकान में जाकर कुछ खास ढूंढ़ने की कोशिश करते हैं।En: Anjali and Rohan try to find something special in every shop.Hi: पर बाजार की भीड़ में खो जाना आसान है।En: But it's easy to get lost in the market's crowd.Hi: दुकानें तो बहुत हैं, पर अनजली को अपनी जरूरत के अनुसार कुछ नहीं मिलता।En: There are many shops, but Anjali doesn't find anything that suits her needs.Hi: उसकी चिंता बढ़ने लगती है।En: Her anxiety begins to increase.Hi: कुछ देर के बाद, रोहन ने सलाह दी, "अनजली, बाजार में सीता आंटी की दुकान है।En: After some time, Rohan suggested, "Anjali, there's a shop by Sita Aunty in the market.Hi: वे हस्तशिल्प वस्तुओं के लिए जानी जाती हैं।En: She's known for handcrafted items.Hi: चलो, उन्हें ढूंढ़ते हैं।En: Let's try to find her."Hi: " अनजली को यह विचार पसंद आया।En: Anjali liked the idea.Hi: रोहन की स्थानीय जानकारी ने उन्हें सीता की दुकान तक पहुँचा दिया।En: Rohan's local knowledge led them to Sita's shop.Hi: सीता आंटी की दुकान में अनूठी वस्तुएं थीं।En: Sita Aunty's shop had unique items.Hi: वहाँ एक बेहद सुंदर, हस्तनिर्मित शिव की मूर्ति रखी थी, जो अनजली को बहुत पसंद आई।En: There was a very beautiful, handmade statue of Shiv that Anjali really liked.Hi: हालाँकि, यह मूर्ति उसके बजट से थोड़ी महँगी थी।En: However, this statue was slightly over her budget.Hi: लेकिन अंतर्ज्ञान से उसे लगा कि यह मूर्ति उसके परिवार के लिए एकदम सही है।En: But her intuition told her that this statue was perfect for her family.Hi: रोहन ने कहा, "अनजली, अगर तुम्हें यह मूर्ति इतनी पसंद है, तो सीता आंटी से बात करके देखो।En: Rohan said, "Anjali, if you like this statue so much, try talking to Sita Aunty.Hi: शायद वे कीमत कम कर दें।En: Maybe she'll reduce the price."Hi: " अनजली ने धैर्य के साथ सीता से बात की और अपने उद्देश्य को बताया।En: Anjali patiently talked to Sita and explained her purpose.Hi: उसकी ईमानदारी और श्रद्धा को देखकर सीता ने मूर्ति की कीमत थोड़ी कम कर दी।En: Seeing her honesty and devotion, Sita reduced the price of the statue slightly.Hi: आखिरकार, अनजली ने वह मूर्ति खरीद ली।En: Finally, Anjali bought the statue.Hi: उसकी आंखों में खुशी थी।En: There was joy in her eyes.Hi: वह देख रही थी कि उसकी मेहनत और रोहन की सलाह ने उसे उसकी मंजिल तक पहुँचाया।En: She saw that her hard work and Rohan's advice had led her to her destination.Hi: घर लौटते समय, ठंडी हवा की ठिठुरन में उसे गर्माहट महसूस हुई।En: On the way home, she felt warmth in the cold chill of the air.Hi: वह अपने परिवार को यह उपहार देने का इंतजार नहीं कर सकती थी।En: She couldn't wait to give this gift to her family.Hi: इस अनुभव ने अनजली को सिखाया कि मुश्किल समय में दोस्तों की सलाह कितनी मूल्यवान होती है।En: This experience taught Anjali the value of a friend's advice during challenging times.Hi: उसने आत्मविश्वास भी प्राप्त किया कि सही बातचीत से किसी भी परिस्थिति का समाधान किया जा सकता है।En: She also gained confidence that with the right conversation, any situation can be resolved.Hi: महाशिवरात्री पर परिवार को उपहार देकर उसने अपनी परंपराओं के प्रति गहरी आस्था को न केवल व्यक्त किया, बल्कि खुद में नई ऊर्जा का संचार भी पाया।En: By giving her family a gift on Maha Shivaratri, she not only expressed her deep faith in her traditions but also found a new surge of energy within herself.

But if I don't..."Hi: "तो क्या, अरजुन?" मीरा ने तंज कसा।En: "What then, Arjun?" Meera teased.Hi: "अपने नजर को बदलो। कभी-कभी कुछ न पा कर हम बहुत कुछ पा लेते हैं।"En: "Change your perspective. Sometimes, by not finding anything, we find a lot."Hi: राहुल ने सहमति में सिर हिलाया, "हां, दोस्तो, अपनी यात्रा का मज़ा लो।"En: Rahul nodded in agreement, "Yes, friends, enjoy your journey."Hi: ध्यान में खोया अरजुन दो कदम आगे बढा कि तभी उसकी नजरें एक अजीब सी वस्तु पर पड़ी।En: Engrossed in thought, Arjun took two steps forward when his eyes fell on a peculiar object.Hi: यह था एक प्राचीन कलाकृति, कुछ अद्भुत नक्काशी के साथ।En: It was an ancient artifact, adorned with some exquisite carvings.Hi: "यह क्या है?" अरजुन ने अचरज से पूछा।En: "What is this?" Arjun asked in amazement.Hi: मीरा ने जल्दी से तस्वीर ली।En: Meera quickly took a photograph.Hi: लेकिन जांच करने पर, पता चला कि वह वस्तु विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण नहीं थी।En: Upon investigation, it turned out that the object wasn't particularly significant.Hi: फिर भी, इसने उन तीनों को उस जगह के अद्वितीय संस्कृति की याद दिलाई।En: Still, it reminded them of the unique culture of the place.Hi: अंततः, अरजुन ने समझा कि ज्ञान की प्राप्ति का अर्थ कभी-कभी केवल अकादमिक उपलब्धियों से नहीं होता।En: In the end, Arjun realized that the acquisition of knowledge sometimes doesn't solely mean academic achievements.Hi: वे तीनों एक ठोस दोस्ती के साथ घर लौटे, और मीरा ने अपने नए फोटोग्राफी प्रोजेक्ट के लिए प्रेरणा पाई।En: The three returned home with a solid friendship, and Meera found inspiration for her new photography project.Hi: अरजुन ने जीवन में सही संतुलन की नई समझ पाई।En: Arjun gained a new understanding of the right balance in life.Hi: उन्होंने अब महसूस किया कि असली सफलता उन अनुभवों में है, जो उस यात्रा के गवाह बने थे, और जो उनके और उनके दोस्तों के बीच हमेशा रहेंगे।En: He now realized that true success lies in the experiences witnessed during the journey, which would always remain between them and their friends.

Mahashivaratri is one of the most significant festivals in the Indian calendar. This night of worship dedicated to Lord Shiva was given renewed life and a new dimension by Bhagawan through the very unique and profound event called the Lingodbhavam. Through this discussion, we explore the history and significance of the Lingodbhavam and ruminate on the concept of the Lingam itself. We also recall a few beautiful manifestations of the Lingam by Bhagawan. As we approach the festival of Mahashivaratri, may we turn our minds to the Lord and make the best use of this sacred opportunity.

Embark with us on a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment as we merge the mysticism of Mahasivaratri with the guiding light of Guru Ayya Narayana. My own pilgrimage to Arunachala, fraught with karmic battles and the pursuit of inner peace, serves as the backdrop to our enlightening conversation. We uncover the layers of sacred rituals, the significance of the chant Aum Namah Sivaya, and how the simple act of circling a tree can unravel lifetimes of karma. The twists and turns of my quest culminate in a heart-to-heart with Guru Ayya, whose teachings on presence and the path of the Siddha offer a beacon to fellow travelers seeking solace and union with the divine. Ayya's touch sparked a transformation, igniting the seven elements vital for our ascension towards the divine.In the midst of our spiritual sojourn, we delve into the resonating vibrations of a unique energy healing meditation. Guiding you through the chakras with the warmth of the sun and the power of breath, we tap into the roots of our being and rise to the crowning glories of consciousness. Along this vertical pilgrimage, mantras and mindfulness pave the way for reconciliation and gratitude. Embrace this meditative passage to cleanse the spirit, foster love, and illuminate the path to a higher vibrance of existence, preparing our minds and souls for the transformative energies of Mahashivaratri.As the moon governs the tides, it also symbolizes the clarity and leadership within us, an aspect we explore through the wisdom of Lord Muruga. By chanting sacred mantras and aligning with the celestial, we awaken the divine leadership within, ready to guide with love and joy.

Reverencio al Padre Supremo, Señor Rudra. Reverencio tu ira. Reverencio tus flechas. Reverencio tu arco y tus manos. Oh Rudra, por la intercesión de tu flecha, arco y aljaba, que han soltado sus iras y se han vuelto auspiciosos, por favor, haznos en tu bondad. Nada me convence más de mí, me da fe y aliento, que el respiro que sostengo. Rudra, Suprema Fuerza, fuerza del rugido, de la constante toda, exprésate en mí, el Ser que soy, el Ser que Es. Ansiada celebración lunar, aquí estoy. Dispensa en mí, toda bendición. Honro al Ser, en lo que mi vida es. Honro la luz que sé, soy. Honro en amor la verdad de mi existencia. ¿Quién puedo ser para honrar? si en la perfección existe todo. Por eso, con humildad y respeto al Ser, pronuncio un nombre resonante, con la Esfera que crea toda esta luz; Supremo Señor Rudra, atiéndeme. La vida, mi vida, está plena de mis acciones, las que fueron, las que son y las que serán. Por eso te invoco, en mi facultad de conciencia y en mi infinita devoción. Toma de mi Ser, lo que tuyo es. Toma de mí, la forma imprecisa. Toma de mí, la irrealidad que no es. Lanza con tu arco, la flecha de mi ignorancia, de mi desdicha, de mi desamor. Que se despidan lejos, donde ya no existan. Haz que llegue la verdad que no alcanzo, así sea desde tu ira. Sabré recibir en amor. No permitas que desfallezca, sin rendirme a tu bondad. Me permito rendirme hoy a la fuerza que desvanece el karma todo, que depura con dulzura y sin castigo, porque la gracia se gana, expresando lo que se es. Supremo Señor Rudra, estoy protegido de mí, por tu gracia y tu bondad. Nada temo. Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya

What Sadhguru did on Mahashivaratri by mixing Sufi songs like 'damadam mast qalandar' with spiritual sadhana is a mistake many Sanatana masters have committed. They point e the fundamental unity of the Supreme at the highest level, forgetting that Unity of Consciousness is very different from One Deity, or Tawheed. Hitopadesha has dealt with this mixing of spiritual and the temporal in a beautiful story on Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Sanjay Dixit explains

In the teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta, we pray to and seek the grace of Sri Dakshinamurti or Bhagavan as Shiva. More so on Mahashivaratri, the night dedicated to Shiva as we pray to the guru of gurus. To know more about his formless form sculpted with self-knowledge, do listen.

Om NamahShivaya "Japa" on MahaShivaratri day.

Mahashivaratri is a celebration of the darkest night of the year, when Shiva comes to bring the Divine Light that ends the illusion! Shunyamurti reminds us that in this dark night of history, when all hope seems lost, it is more important than ever to realize the freedom and power of Ultimate Consciousness, by shattering the illusion with infinite love.

In the futile pursuit of pleasure, happiness, and meaning, humans have forgotten about something much more valuable, that they already have within themselves. Bliss! You don't believe me, I know. It's hard to even conceive of the idea of Bliss. It may sound so unreal to you because most likely you have even forgotten the taste of it, let alone the ways to access it. Good news is that it is always present within, you just need to know how to access it. A meditator on his inner journey inevitably stumbles upon the inner source of bliss and quickly learns to tap into it whenever they want. In this meditation session that was given on 4th March 2019, the eve of ‘Mahashivaratri’, I talk about how to access bliss by deep-diving into the following: Significance of Mahashivaratri: ‘Soma’ - The nectar of bliss Impact of the moon on human consciousness Meditators way of accessing bliss For those who wish to move beyond verbal explanations and get into the experience, do try out the meditation steps below. They are evergreen and work almost like a miracle. 1. Preparing with ‘Kumbhaka Pranayama’ 2. Activating ‘Soma’ center 3. Directing the flow of nectar 4. Feeling the peace in the heart region 5.

Evening Breath Turns Awareness Meditation 60 minutes guided sitting (Recorded Live on MahaShivaratri 2018) As Siva says to Devi, "Radiant one, this experience may dawn between two breaths. After breath comes in (down) and just before turning up (out)...the beneficence". This practice takes some practice, and its rewarding to sit with this for a few days continuously. Living Meditations are guided meditations for everyday life. Ekras- Discover the Mystery Within based on Vigyana Bhairava Tantra by Ekras Gorakh Published 2018
