"The false beauty of the material world cannot attract the one who is attracted by the transcendental beauty of Shiv Shakti."(source unknown)

Shiva epitomizes consciousness(Purusha): the masculine principle. Shakti alludes to nature(Prakriti), effective movement of power and energy: the feminine principle.
This sacred union can be deemed representative of the destination of one's transcendental journey.

Detaching the soul from the mind constitutes the duality of our daily existence. Only when merged as one, can there be logical understanding of productive movement and creation. When this occurs, duty of Dharma prevails as we begin to recognize our purpose of being, as is borne within ourselves.

Shiv Shakti is the combined realization, balanced between the unchanging, unmoving, encompassing soul, and the ever changing and dynamic mind, that ultimately transforms into spiritual enlightenment.

Aadi Karthigai • ஆடி கிருத்திகை
The Krittika nakshatra or Karthigai natchathiram (கார்த்திகை நட்சத்திரம்) of the Tamil month of Aadi is dedicated to Lord Muruga (Karthikeya / Subramanya), son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. The festival celebrated on this day is known as Aadi Kaarthigai (Tamil: ஆடி கிருத்திகை), also spelled Aadi Kiruthigai or Aadi Krithikai. It is predominantly a Tamil festival popular among Tamil population.

Today is Aadi Karthigai
Aadi Pooram on August 01, Monday and Aadi Perukku which falls on August 03, Wednesday are two other major festivals celebrated during Aadi month.

Karthigai or Karthikai nakshatra comes every month and such days are marked by special pujas and rituals at all Lord Murugan temples. However, the Karthigai nakshatram of Aadi month receives special interest and is considered highly auspicious, because, the Sun starts its southward journey on Karka Sankranti ie., July 16. This marks the end of uttarayana period and the beginning of dakshinayana punyakalam.

The events of Lord Muruga's birth is elaborated in the Skanda Purana, where it is said that Lord Shiva created Muruga from his Third eye in the form of six flames. These flames in the form of babies were raised by six celestial nymphs or maidens known as 'Karthigai Pengal' at Saravana poikai. Lord Murugan was merged into One from these six children by Goddess Parvathi.

As reward for their selfless service, the divine duo - Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi, blessed the Karthigai Pengal with immortality. Also, worshiping them will be seen as worshiping Lord Murugan himself. Thus, by honouring Karthikai star one is honouring Lord Karthikaya as well.

Special poojas and abhishekams are held at all Lord Murugan temples on the day of Aadi Karthigai. Elaborate functions and special poojas are conducted at Palani, Thiruttani, Swamimalai, Thiruparangundram, Tiruchendur and Palamuthircholai. These six temples, called Aaru padai veedu (ஆறுபடை வீடுகள்) is considered the abode of Lord Murugan. Thousands of devotees visit these temples during Aadi Karthikai. Pilgrims throng the Thiruthani Sri Subramanya Swamy temple and offer Kavadi for Lord Murugan.

आम तौर पर आपने बुध देवता को शेर की सवारी करते देखा होगा परंतु पुरातन कथाओं के अनुसार बुध देवता जिसपर सवारी करते हैं वो याली । इसकी सूंड हाथी की शारीर शेर का और पूंछ साँप की होती है। कुछ तस्वीरों में साँप की पूंछ नही दिखाई जाती। कहते है बुध देवता का यह चित्र दुर्लभ है और इसे देखने मात्र से ही बुध ग्रह के कष्ट दूर हो जाते है। आप भी लाइक एंड शेयर करें और नीचे "ॐ ब्रां ब्रीं ब्रौं सः बुधाय नमः ॥" लिखना नहीं भूले। जय हो 🙏

Mount Kailash is actually the Sahasra Chakra in our body, which is center of Supreme Consciousness (SHIVA). When Kundalini reaches there She meets shiva. The physical counterpart is Mount Kailash, where the energy of Shiva is centred in material earth.

According to Hinduism, Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration, resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailash. Mount Kailash is regarded in many sects of Hinduism as Paradise, the ultimate destination of souls and the spiritual center of the world.

According to a description in the Puranas, Mount Kailash's four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli; it is the pillar of the world; rises 84,000 leagues high; is the center of the world mandala; and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus. From it flow four rivers, which stretch to the four quarters of the world and divide the world into four regions.

This legendary mountain has long been identified with the striking peak in the Himalayas that now bears its name. Shiva is therefore believed to dwell at its summit. The importance of this holy mountain in Hinduism is reflected, among other places, at the famous Ellora Caves in India, where the largest and most important rock-carved temple is dedicated to Mount Kailash.

Lord Shiva resides on the summit of Mount Kailash and sits in a state of meditation, thus this peak is regarded as the ultimate destination for attaining spiritual peace and Moksha. Not only Hinduism, Buddism, Jainism and many other religions hold Mount Kailash as most sacred place in earth. It is believed that one who completes the pilgrimage around Mount Kailash is said to get relieved from bad karmas and past sins. 🏔

Since it is the most auspicious period, one can take advantage of it by performing Shravan Maas Shiva Puja. During this month, the cosmos is super charged with Shiva tattvas (Shiva elements) that purify the mind, the senses, the body and the self (Soul) through the rituals dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Devotees observe austerities, fasts and prayers in this holy month of Shravan. This is the time when Lord Shiva drank the poisonous Halahala that emanated from Samudra Manthan between the Devas and Asuras for the quest of the Nectar (ambrosia). During the Manthan, the ocean produced lots of valuables such as gemstones, Goddesses riches, cows, bows, the Moon, conch etc. which were taken up by gods and demons. Fourteen different gems emerged from the ocean which were divided them.

When the Ocean produced the deadliest poison called Halahala, all of them cringed back as it was too dangerous to destroy the universes. It was Shiva who decided to drink it to save the world. His devout wife saw him taking Halahala, she at once held His throat so that the poison wouldn’t go down. As a result His throat turned blue and He was called Neelkantha.

One must engage in devotional activities such as kirtan, Sadhanas, meditation or sing bhajans at home or in Shiva temples. One must visit Shiva temples during this month. Each day of this month carries spiritual significance.

Devotees sing and dance after offering their prayer to Lord Shiva during the Shravan Somvars , the month of fastint through the country. In Hindu calendar Shravan month is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Whole month is considered auspicious to seek blessing of Lord Shiva. All Mondays or Somwar which fall during Shravan month are considered highly auspicious for fasting and known as Shravan Somwar or Sawan Somwar Vrats. ✨
