Tirumandiram - Verse 29

Total devotion
Kananil layadi Yerkura Varular
Nananil len unnai nan thazhuvikkolla
Konanil lada Gunathadi Yarmanath
Thaniya Nagi Amarndunindrane

This is a verse expressing devotion to the Lord. Tirumoolar beckons the spiritual being of Shiva to come close, so he may embrace him with love, never letting shyness come in the way. Shiva ever abides in the heart of those who embrace him. Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 27

Seated in your heart

Sandhi Enathhakka Tamarai Vaanmugath
Thandamil Eesan Arul Namak ke Endru
Nandiyai Naalum Vanangap Padum Avar
Pundiyinulle Pugundunindraane

Beseeching the Lord who is beautiful of face like the glorious setting sun, if one worships Nandi (Shiva), daily, he will abide in that person's heart.
Worship is an act of surrendering the mind and pouring it out fully into consciousness. When one's mind is dissolved this way, the very consciousness that is worshipped replaces the mind and shines in all its glory. Swahilya Shambhavi.

Tirumandiram - 23

He said "Stop," and it did

Vallavam Vannik Kiraiyidai Vaarana
Nillena Nirpitha Needhiyul Eesanai
Illena Venda Iraiyavar Thammudal
Allum Pagalum Arulugindrane.

Just as the fire that once threatened to consume the world was contained by just a word, "Stop," by the Lord, never doubt his presence. The one who showers his grace through day and night on all beings including the gods, is always there. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

The Lord

Makes a Lord of Devotees

Adhipathi Seidu Alagai Vendanai
Nidhipathi Seidu Niraidhava Nokki
Adhupathi Aadarith Thakkam Thakkin
Idhupathi Kollendra Emperumane.

Seeing the devout penance of the King of Alaka (Kubera of Alakapuri) the Lord bestowed riches and power upon him and commanded him to reside there and reign. The verse implies that the more one meditates upon consciousness, the more worldly riches, wealth and power follow like a shadow. The focus has got to be within and everything else required in the world falls in place. - Swahilya Shambhavi (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com).

Lord Shiva

Matted locks and Blessings for All

Kodhu Kulaviya Kondrai Kuzharchadai
Maadhu Kulaviya Vanudal Baganai
Yaadhu Kulavi Amararum Deevarung
Kodhu Kulavi Gunam Payil Vaare.
Lord Shiva who has attained the Supreme Consciousness or living that experience, has flowing matted locks adorned with kondrai flowers. H has the divine mother Parvathi, his own feminine self as a part of himself. Whatever their desires may be, the gods and celestial beings adore him.
