The Eternal Love Story of SHIVA & SATI


When I was a kid lot many questions used to arise in my mind and among those one was very auspicious one which was about SHIVA and I was unable to find the answers from my so called social sources and now years later I’m grown up I found few answers and few were remain unanswered.

It is really not easy to write or explain anything and everything about Shiva. However many have tried to explain him as per their knowledge but the details is endless and it is un-imaginable from a human being.

Here I just tried to put all my thoughts, insights and believes together about SHIVA, which I read in books and heard from many sources. And as it is Shivarathri love to share with all of you.

SHIVA:-

SHIVA, Devi (Shakti) and Vishnu are the 3 major aspects of god presented in the Hindu pantheon during the post-Vedic period. Like the 2 important cults of Vishnu and Shakti, the cult of Shiva also has contributed significantly to the cultural and has spiritual grace of Hinduism rooted in the Vedas and nourished by the secondary scriptures like the agamas and puranas.

SHIVA is one of the most fascinating among all other gods. He is the arch-ascetic, the Divine Yogi, who sits alone on Mount Kailasa, high in the Himalayas on a tiger skin. He is unusual in appearance but he is reality. Shiva is distinct from other deities: his hair piled high on the top of his head, with a curve folded into it and the river Ganges falling from his hairs. Around his neck is a coiled serpent. He holds a trident in his left hand in which is bound the 'damroo' (small leather drum). He wears the 'Rudraksha' beads and his whole body is smeared with ash. He is immortal, beyond time, actually he is the Time.

SATI:-

SATI (Dakshayini or Gauri)’ She is form of Shakti-the most powerful energy of the universe and yet so beautiful. She is the eternal source of knowledge and wisdom.
Shakti must always be cantrolled, otherwise it is worthless & dangerous just like uncontrolled electricity. Shakti is of value only when it has been conditioned. Lord Shiva is conditioner the male aspect of the universe. So she was born to be his eternal better half. They complement each other in everything – Power, beauty, Knowledge and Wisdom.

The power of Shiva is his spouse Shakti, First being Sati also known as Dakshayani, the second being Parvati (Both SATI and PARVATI are powerful forms of SHAKTI) In Hindu legend, both Sati and Parvati consecutively plays the part of bringing Shiva away from ascetic remoteness into ingenious participation in the world.

The Goddess Shakti, took human birth at the request of the god Brahma. Sati was born as a daughter of Daksha Prajapati (son of Brahma) and his wife Prasuti. As the daughter of Daksha, she is also known as Dakshayani. Also was called as Satī. She was named Gauri, "the turmeric-hued one," since she was of the fair, gold skinned complexion of auspicious turmeric.

“All that has a beginning by necessity must have an end. In destruction”, truly nothing is destroyed but the illusion of individuality. Thus the power of destruction associated with Lord Shiva has great purifying “power” with which Sati fell in Love.
When Sati entered adulthood she knocked back waves of advances from admiring kings and noble-folk, but against her father’s wishes to win the regard of the ascetic Shiva, she left the pampered life of the family palace and retired to the forest to worship God of destruction-SHIVA.

She worshiped him day and night and So rigorous were her penances that she gradually gave up food itself, at one stage she manage to survive on one bilva leaf a day, and then giving up even that food; this particular self-discipline earned her the name Aparnā. She loved him to the core being his wife became motto of her life.
Finally one day her prayers bore fruit when, after testing her determination, Shiva finally agreed to marry her. Daksha didn't like Shiva much but Dakshayani (Gauri) decided to marry him anyway. Dakshayani (Gauri) made her home with Shiva in Kailasa after marriage.

Daksha once organized a yagna to just showcase his negligence towards Shiva and Gauri and invited all gods except Shiva and Gauri. Gauri alone preferred to attend the occasion even without formal invitation from her father so her loving husband could not resist her from attending the Yagna.

Gauri didn’t received well by his father soon after her arrival discussions has been started about Shiva and every passing moment made it clearer to her that Daksha was not capable of appreciating the many excellent qualities of Shiva. Soon she realized that Shiva had forced to face this dishonor by Daksha just because Shiva married her. For her death was looking painless comparing to the insult done by her father to her loving husband. Using her yogic powers she immolated herself.

Shiva was furious that his wife had been forced to destroy herself. He was in pain, anger and his emotions were uncontrolled towards his wife. He was a destroyer so there was nothing expected other than destruction. With that painful anger he created Virabhadra and Mahakali from two locks of his hair. As they proceeded to destroy everyone at the Yagna Shiva slung Dakshayani over his shoulders and did the dance of loons-Tandava.

It was a pretty exceptional dance so severe that his beloved wife’s body was broken into fifty one pieces that were scattered all over the world. The bits became Shakti Peethas, the top hot-spots of pilgrimage.

Regaining his senses Shiva brought all of the slain back to life. Even Daksha was revived and although his head was replaced with the head of a goat.
Shiva and Gauri’s love was so eternal and beyond the Universe so she had to born again to complete him because he is incomplete without her and so she is. She born as Himavan's (king of the mountains) daughter Parvati, Himavan was a great follower of Shiva and appreciated him passionately.

Naturally, Parvati required and received Shiva as her husband. Lord Shiva was married to Devi Parvati on Shivratri.Shiva and Parvati are often shown couple in full happiness, intimate embrace. They also like to discuss philosophy. Shiva taught Parvati on Vedanta (transcendent knowledge), while Parvati taught him Sankhya (cosmological knowledge). Both were perfected yogis.

With Parvati by his side, Shiva became complete again. Shakti always inspired Shiva by her beauty, knowledge and wisdom, SHIVA became the source of the arts, dance and drama. But he did not abandon his ways as a hermit and continued to meditate. His carefree attitude and his refusal to shoulder household responsibilities sometimes angered Parvati. But then she would come to terms with his unconventional ways and make peace. The consequent marital bliss between Shakti and Shiva ensured harmony between Matter and Spirit and brought strength and peace to the cosmos.

Being Human….

"Being Human"….It may be a popular word who knows Salman khan and his organization… but I feel much more out of this word...Yes there are so many living beings in world. What makes human beings so unique due to which we stand above all on the earth? Is it the power of thinking..? The power of talking..? Is it the power of inventing and implementing new ideas or processes?

I frankly don’t know what makes us unique compare to other living beings…OR do we really need to consider ourselves unique compare to other animals on the earth..?



Where we are standing as human beings..? We are inventing disasters to kill other humans, we don’t bother what mother earth has given and how to worth it. We became so busy in our own world, and there is very less or no time to think about anything else happening around.

Today we find less peace and more tension in our social atmosphere (I may be wrong, few of them may be with more peace and less tension :P but I’m not mentioning about them here; again I can say it is only few). The main reason for this is disharmony in our relationships. This disharmony is reflected in various forms like jealousy, hatred, revenge, greed, violence, etc. So much selfishness has crept in our behavior that all the times we are thinking and bothering about our own comforts, luxuries and gains, even at the cost of harming others.

What I feel is, at some extent we are meant to be so because of our social structure where we will be respected or identified by all the material things we have with us. I still remember when I was a kid my mother prefer to not participate in some of our relatives or friends weddings because we don’t have that much gold jewelry and rich cloths to be there. Yes it is very unfortunate thing but it is fact. As a kid I used to think it is better to not be among them who give importance to nonliving things which got no value compare to a human being.

Whenever these thoughts arise in my mind, I feel to discuss with someone and sometimes I did so and the reaction was so obvious that the other person either think that I don’t have work to do or I’m so frustrated with the life :P and this reaction is a sign of being human :)

Do I really need to think about it? Do I really need to change the world..?
Answer is NO…I don’t want to change the world, I don’t want to change the society, and I don’t want comment on anything out there. Even if I want to I can’t do all this…. just I feel I want to make my life little more beautiful and little more meaningful in my own way.


How..?
It is good to make sincere efforts to effect transformation in the self, to improve my relationships with others and to be good to others. It would definitely be a step forward towards a Better World (again I don’t want to change the world, society or people; according to me my world starts from ME).

If I want to become negative I can find 1001 reasons to be so. Another factor is I may be influenced by people that I work with and sometimes it is their negativity attacking me. But above all these factors I’m a human being and I have my own identity. If I really want to do well nothing can stop me, I can’t control any one out here but I can control me. This enables me to bring about change, firstly in my environment, workplace, family and at home and this is my world.

These are the promises I’m keeping for myself: (It may be difficult for me initially to keep all these promises but when I get good results or make people happy by these definitely I will be happier than now)

• I will not hurt people who trust me. :)
• I will help as much as I can to the people who are in my surroundings and who are in need. :)
• I will respect to elders and love children. I will not show disrespect towards anyone who work with me and who seek work from me. :)
• Also I will try to keep my beloved nature clean and green as much as possible. :)
• Above all I will love myself more so that I can share same to others. :)

:) Feeling Good and Better…:)

Whatever our profession is we meet so many people in our daily life. We will meet regular persons like paperboy, milk person, khirana shop guy, woman who sell flowers to us and sometimes we meet strangers while on our regular way to our jobs or travelling to new places…..Do we ever try to recall or remember any one of them, if yes why? What is the reason that we remember only that person not others?



The reasons may be so many but one thing I can assume is the impression they leave on us in that short time may be effective enough to recall or remember them. The impressions can be negative or positive but we will be able to remember them.
Among them we may remember someone for really long time if they made us feel good or better at that particular moment.

In similar way, will any of them remember or recall us the next time we meet them..?
To how many of them we make feel good or better in our daily life…?:)
Or what is the necessity of making them feel good or better …?

We designed our life in such a way where we always try to search for happiness, peacefulness, satisfaction by achieving something for ourselves, our families, our friends and for job we do. Of course it is important to give happiness to our loved ones and whom we love but is it the end of the world…? Is it the end of happiness..?



Mother Theresa had once said. “The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the “feeling of being unloved.” “There is more hunger in the world for “love” and “appreciation” than for bread”. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must try to remedy this kind of poverty.”

So many of us want to do really good for others but we feel that we don’t get opportunity to do so or things are beyond our levels and limits. I think we really need not to do big things or need not to sacrifice something from our life to do good things. Simple and small things we do for others may get ‘sparking smile’ :) on their faces, it is possible only when we have real wish to make them feel good or better.

By simple appreciation words, by wishing good for the day, by giving something to someone which really not costs anything for us and gives real happiness to them, by saying some nice words when someone is in trouble and by doing little things like this we can make people feel good. By doing this we will also feel happy, good and better...For that day :)



As a person, what makes me feel good is a “smile” :) on someone’s face and if I’m reason for that smile. Believe me that feeling is amazing, it will cherish me for really long time and boost my energy levels…:)

So I have decided that I will try to make people feel good or better as many as I can and as much as I can in my daily life… :) :) :)

“ABOUT TRUE LOVE…….”

It’s been really long time, and when I’m back really I feel something to share about important part of our life...called...”LOVE”. We may not realize but it has major role to play in our lives.

We human beings are social entities. As good relationship is the major contributor for remaining good. It is very important to understand the relationships. Especially complex relationships (at least for me...!!) between male and female.


Sharing of love, both giving and taking, brings happiness. That is why it is said that love, not time, heals all wounds. Similarly when love becomes thin, faults appear thicker.

Love and like are feelings, emotional stages of our life. Both sound similar, synonymous, yet they are different. We may like a person or an article but it does not necessarily mean that we love them.

If you are attracted to something or someone, it is liking. But if you care for it and take its onus, it is your love for it. I said ‘onus’. And not possess’. If we love someone, we must care for that person.

If you try to help someone during his/her difficult day, it is your sympathy. But, if your heart cries on listening someone’s sorrow, and if the person’s agony becomes yours then it is not sympathy, it is empathy. Liking someone empathetically is Love. Mathematically, you can express it as –

“Love = Liking + Empathic Caring”

There is a say – “In life, to judge others use your heart and to judge yourself use your head”. Empathy is the ability of a person to see from the other person’s viewpoint.

Love is beautiful and continues to remain beautiful unless it is pampered. Once you try to possess love, its beauty gets spoilt. That is why many times we find expensive household items kept in one corner and treated with sheer negligence. Love is also like that. It is beautiful as attractive, so long as it is out of our reach.

Love is behavior and a feeling, certainly not an article. Hence, never can it be owned. Never try to snatch love. It is natural and cannot become any one’s property. So, we should not try to mix up love with self interest or accomplishment.
IT is often said – “Giving leads to empathic Love”, what is giving? True giving is other oriented and requires the following elements:

• CARE, demonstrating active concern (not theoretical which everyone can have) for the recipient’s life and growth.
• RESPONSIBILITY, responding to his/her expressed/unexpressed need.
• RESPECT, the ability to see the other person as he/she is and be aware of his/her unique individuality
• KNOWLEDGE, you can care for, respond to, and respect the other only if you know him/her deeply.

The more you give the more you love, that is why probably our parents, who have given us more that we ever know, undoubtedly love us more that we love them. This is because deep and intimate love emanates from knowledge and giving: it comes not overnight but over time.

Where true love is present, happiness is bound to come. “About True Love”, swami Vivekananda in one of his writings had said:

“I would like to share something on the nature of love. I once had a friend who grew to very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with little water and held it before me, and said this: “You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.” This was how I saw it: “As long as you keep your hand carnally open and allow it to remain there it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to possess it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.”

This is the greatest mistake that people commit when they meet love, they try to possess it, they demand, they expect: and just like water spilling out of our hand, love will run away from us. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

• Give and don’t expect.
• Advise, but don’t order.
• Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret of True. To truly practice it, “You must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.”

Love lasts longer only when there is no mutual expectation, If at all expectations are present, they must be realistic.

Summer Camp for Kids.....!!!





At last, I'm finding time to do things which I wanted to, I'm enjoying each bit of it.

When I was a kid I always wanted to be a good TEACHER. I tried a lot to stick to that profession when i was youngster, but as all other youngsters I also compromised my self to be in corporate world where you get money to act like a machine (that's what I felt when I was there)

In life we always compromise for things we need and we don't love...May be because we feel those are more important to be Happy. But when we realize its not true it will be too late for us to start things again. It was same with me but I chosen to be happy than needy by doing things which I love to.

Its always tough to choose in life but when its about liking of yours it will be very easy to make the decision what ever will be the consequences.

I want to relate my company activities with all things I love to do, because I never wanted to be rich I wanted to be happy...!!

With this thoughts starting summer camp along with few very good friends of mine. My aim is to help inspire kids to be a better rounded individual. Let them do what they really want to. getting A grade is not only the achievement in life. They need to increase their ability to think for themselves, take initiative, get along with others, and solve problems.

The best way we prepare this next generation for the future is teaching them the value of right attitude, proper communication, cooperation, initiative & help them uncover their unique, individual talents.

“Personality Development Camp (Training)” is a practical course to develop competent personality on youth. This Camp will focus to expand the personality development skills which will be applicable for better future. This camp is design after realizing the fact that most of the youth in India don’t have life time goal and systematic plan, don’t explore own strength and opportunity, and don’t know the knowledge and skills to enhance for excellence future. This camp will be first step to realize potentiality of every individual (I am the best) and go ahead with confidence for success future.

Objectives of the Summer Camp


· To enhance knowledge and Creative skills to develop competent personality,

· To get Creative skills to make life well planned and Happening,

· To develop synergy yourself for successful life.

If anyone of you is interested to participate as trainer, you can contact me. Lets have some fun in this summer.

Women's Day celebration

Its almost 2 months, I never get a chance or anything exciting to share. However now I'm not able to stop myself to share this with you.

Recently I have been participated in 2 events where main objective of the events was 'Women Empowerment'& 'Women Leadership' on International Woman's Day.

Yes I feel Proud of being Woman in so many ways, Men also have all rights to feel it in many ways...! as it is celebration of 100 yrs of International Women's Day, lets stick to talks about Women which we like most.

There were so many leaders who were part of the event from various corporate sector, who achieved milestones in their work and personal life which inspires every women to achieve same or greater than that.

The first event which I was part of "Women's Leadership Summit" which was organized by SiliconIndia on march 5th 2010, at KLN Prasad Auditorium Hyderabad.Started at 10 Am with Key note By Anuradha Acharya(Founder and CEO of Ocimum Bio solutions)in which she mentioned about 3 I's Intensive, Incentives, Insensitive in her speech.


It was a great opportunity to meet great woman leaders from various industries and know about their experiences and motivation sources.

I dono how many of you celebrated women's day But I celebrated it in true spirit and with true persons.We no need to dominate Men in our surroundings but we should aware of the fact that woman are there in every industry in every position, we no need to achieve big but we too can achieve something out of four walls when we recognize our inner power. Days are gone when women used to stick to teaching, cooking and tailoring jobs. Now you can see women at everywhere. but they are not behind when their family need them the most.

'Festival Season - Vinayaka chaturthi ( B-day of lord Ganesha)'



One more important festival for Hindus, this time as well I celebrated festival away from family but it was again happy celebrations at home. Here I posted few pics of our pooja at home.

Ganesh Chaturthi is an important Indian festival. Ganesh Chaturthi is observed in order to celebrate the birthday of Lord Ganesh (who is the son of Shiva and Parvati, according to Hindu mythology). In Karnataka before the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, people indulge themselves in Gowri Puja(gowri = Parvathi) .

Parvati, wanted to bath and having no-one to guard the door to her house, conceived of the idea of creating a son who could guard her. Parvati created Ganesha out of the sandalwood paste that she used for her bath and breathed life into the figure. She then set him to stand guard at her door and instructed him not to let anyone enter.



In the meantime, Lord Shiva returned from the battle but as Ganesha did not know him, stopped Shiva from entering Parvati's chamber. Shiva, enraged by Ganesh’s impudence, drew his trident and cut off Ganesha's head, Parvati emerged to find Ganesha decapitated and flew into a rage. She took on the form of the Goddess Kali and threatened destruction to the three worlds of Heaven.

sent out his ganas, or hordes, to find a child whose mother is facing another direction in negligence, cut off his head and bring it quickly. The first living thing they came across was an elephant. That elephant was facing north(the auspicious direction associated with wisdom). So they brought the head of this elephant and Shiva placed it on the trunk of Parvati's son and breathed life into him.


This elephant-headed god was welcomed into the first family of the Hindu heavens and named Ganesha or Ganapati, which literally means the chief of the ganas. Parvati was still upset so Lord Shiva announced that everyone who worships Ganesha before any other form of God is favored. So Ganesh is worshipped first in all Hindu occasions and festivals.

" Missing My Place"

I always feel proud about the Place where I was born and bought up.Vidurashwatha (in Gauribidanur taluk, Chikkaballapura district,Karnataka)is well known both for its mythological and historical links with the ancient and the recent past.

What is in the Name...?

It gets its name after Vidura who it is said visited this ancient site on the banks of the river Pinakini during his pilgrimage to the South. Vidura, Mahabharata says, was half-brother to Dhritarashtra and Pandu. The local myth has it that during his visit Vidura planted a pupil sapling (Ficus religiosa) which according to a traditional belief is the same that Vidura planted and nursed in the days of yore during his sojourn here.

There is also a widely held belief that if the childless perform the fertility ritual by way of consecrating a cobra-stone (Nagapratista) at this place they will be blessed with a womb.




Historical Past:

During the time of struggle for independence led by Gandhi in 1930s, When provincial government foiled an attempt by the Satyagrahis at Shivapura (Mandya district) to hoist Congress flag in defiance against the Power demanding Responsible Government, the congress leaders of Kolar district chosen Vidurashwatha as the most perfect site for the programme.

The hoisting of Congress Flag took place on 24 April 1938. The British Government blindly responded with several rounds of firing killing seven of the crowd and injuring many.

The incident drew the attention of the top congress leaders and Vidurashwatha entered the annals of freedom struggle at the national level. Since there is a parallel between this firing incident and that of the infamous Jalianwala Bagh of Punjab Vidurashwatha is also called the “Jalianwala Bagh of the South”.

"Finding the Way to Success"

Yes its almost a month now, I can say I'm on the right way. I learned all positive things which i must have being a Sales person. Even though I'm new to Product selling concept, I worked hard to get required customer base. In some times I felt like I may be approaching the wrong customers. Then its like few are really shown interest and they started to ask questions then it excited me a lot. In product selling feedback is important and to get feedback you have to make them to use your system and to use system it should be understandable for them and we should be available for them when ever they have queries. Its like one complete cycle, have to follow each and every link of it.

I read it some where on the internet "The place you will get your biggest return on your effort is
the front end of the sale. The time you spend getting to know your prospect intimately is where the real persuasion occurs.

It occurs there, because the front-end is where you get the chance to see the map to making the sale. And when you have the map, you don't have to wander around talking about all kinds of different things hoping that one of them is "the right one" to talk about. Instead you get to go straight to your destination." Same thing happened with me, I'm happy like I'm able to think and understand what exactly a customer will feel when he has to buy a product.

It was not wonder when some times even I felt, may be having these many interactions with customer might divert me from destination, but at the same time I was able to focus on the cause. at the end it was finding the way to success...in a meaning full, fun and learning way. That is the way it should be.

Balanced Self-Confidence

Being a sales person, I Always feel that all my professional success credit goes to the confidence level. but some times I also feel that I should be able to manage my confidence level. Some times, in some situations I was unable to manage my confidence and due to that even I faced few unwanted things.

Getting this right is a matter of having the right amount of confidence, founded in reality and on our true ability.

If I'm under-confident, I will avoid taking risks and stretching myself; and I might not try at all. And if I'm over-confident, I may take on too much risk, stretch myself beyond my capabilities, and crash badly. I even some times find that I'm so optimistic that I don’t try hard enough to truly succeed.
