the Journey of Shiva
Gods in Bharat have always been reflection of collective consciousness of this culture called Sanatan.
Its sanatan as it evolves , adapts, adopts , reinvents itself for the times .It grows, rewrites it's literature and books, retells it's stories with the core intact but layers evolving with times, social, economic cultural evolution .
The Gods have reincarnations , they are reinvented as Collective consciousness depending on the need . In moral turmoil he aadi yogi, in turbulent times he is Rudra and does tandav to restore , restart the system , when times are fun he is natraj.
Empowered by strong Women and powerful kids, who are Gods in themselves . Shiva is complete Family . The only God ,whose complete family is celebrated as individuals too.
He doesnt spit poison, neither just he swallow it. He retains it at a place where it's away from.the world, yet doesn't poison his body or mind. A trait of a great balancing act, a true signs of a leader.
He is Macho yet he is feminine. he brings , distributes regulates life giving Ganga, yet he is mahakaal. He empowers his people , without controlling their attributes, allowing them to be Ganas, yet his son earns his place as Gananayak, Ganpati not because he is Shiva's son, but because he deserves it .
Shiva is depiction of human turmoil in all times and how to overcome them with patience , strength, family , controlled aggression, teamwork, self Belief.
Har Har mahadev is call to discover Shiva, the mahadev in all.of us . Realize our true potential .
This ShivRatri . May you discover the Shiva in you.
