Unfathomable

Even the gods can't measure

There is a story of how Vishnu tried to search the feet of Shiva and Brahma - his head. The concept behind this story is that consciousness is all-pervading and so unconceivably big that it is much beyond the grasp of even the divine beings. This consciousness however measures the space that it contains. But none have ever fathomed this consciousness. It sheds its grace upon everything and stands transcending everything. - Swahilya Shambhavi (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com)

Nandi is everything

The one consciousness functions through all


Ayalum Pudaiyum Em Aadiyai Nokkil
Iyalum Perundeivai Yaadum Ondrillai
Mulayum Muyalil Mudivum Matraange
Peyalum Mazhai Mugir Per Nandi Thaane


Nandi is everything. I look near and far, but there is no other God around I see that is mightier than Him. He is the effrt and the result of the effort. He is the rain and the rain bearing clouds too.


Consciousness is all pervading. It is the support for any effort we take. It is the effort and the result of the effort too. - Swahilya Shambhavi (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com)

Matted Locks

Like mother like child

Theeyinum Veyyan Punalinum Thanniyan

Aayinum Isan Arularivar Illai

Seyinum Nallan Aniyannal Anbarkku

Thayinum Nallan Tazhsadaiyane

Shiva - Consciousness of the person who has flowing matted locks of hair, is ancient. He is hotter than fire and cooler than water. He is the essence of both. But yet none know the grace of the Lord. He is more benevolent than an innocent child and beloved to the one with a good

heart. His love is more than that of a mother. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

He has ever been existing with no parallel. He is older than Brahma - Vishnu -Shiva - Creator - preserver - destroyer. All the three are but three different forms and tasks of the mind. The consciousness exists untouched by it and through it. He is the leader who does not have any parallel Referring to consciousness as he, she or it is just a habit of the mind and poverty of words - a part trying to explain the total, words trying to describe the paper in which it is written.

If you call him your father, he is a father to you. He shines and guides from within you, like a light that gleams like gold. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

I praise night and day the truth that expands beyond space, the seed

of the planets, stars and moons of the Universe, the Truth directed me to search and find itself his sole refuge. By praising the truth and being with it always, I stand in the present moment shining bright as the union of my understanding with the supreme truth has dispelled all darkness. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Meditate

On the one

I meditate upon that Consciousess who pervades through all and is present without a crease and unruffled among the Gods. They call him the "naked one," because he is the pure consciousness that is not covered by any thoughts or not confined or clothed by the mind. The consciousness is nearest to everybody, even closer to people than their own breath. Yet none know what it is or its force and presence. I praise that consciousness.

I praise the pure consciousness. The consciousness that lords over and expands in all the four directions and is the master of energy. It is untouched by the polarities of the north and the south poles. The body is a bio-magnetic energy field subject to positive and negative polarities, good and bad, sorrow and joy. Consciousness sustains the dualities and expands beyond them. Consciousness is unborn, knows no death, eternal and immortal. Anyone who holds on to consciousness, as did Markandeya, Shiva protects that person from death by giving Yama - the lord of death - a kick.

The story refers to no ancient acrobatic fight between Yama and Lord Shiva, but the fact that if the individual mind tightly holds on to the eternal consciousness, the mind also becomes the eternal and everlasting and not subject to birth and death, creation and re-creation. I worship that Consciousness, says Tirumoolar. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

One is He

Consciousness is God

The consciousness is one. Tirumoolar refers to it as Shiva, giving him a masculine name. His grace manifests as Shakti - the many names and forms of energy that we see in the world He stands and pervades through the three forms of energy - Icha Shakti - the energy of desire, Kriya Shakti - the energy of action and Gnana Shakti - the energy of knowledge that facilitates the ways and means of converting the energy of desire into the energy of action. He also pervades through the three flows of energy - the Ida - feminine, Pingala - masculine and Sushumna - neutral. He is the experience of the four Vedas - Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana. The five senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch - he is a master of. He expands beyond the six chakras or vortex centres of energy - Mooladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddhi and Agnya and expands as the Sahasrara. He is manifested in the form of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Sun and the Moon.
