SHIVRATRI CELEBRATED WITH THE SARVODAYA HINDU ASSOCIATION AT TOLWORTH ON 12TH FEBRUARY 2010

The audience was informed why Shiva occupies a very special position in the Hindu tradition.

 

The audience was informed why Shiva occupies a very special position in the Hindu tradition.
  • Shiva literally means  ‘God combined with God’s Grace ’ – two for the price of one.
  • HE is Hara from Sanskrit Harati meaning one who comes with the power to demolish our delusions regarding nature of reality
  • HE is Asuthosh – meaning easy to appease. Hence some call him Bholanath
  • HE is Ardhanarishwar – God and God’s manifesting power as one as Shiva & Shakti
  • HE is also Natraj – lord of the dance - Lord active in the dance of creation, preservation and destruction
  • HE is the only God of the Hindus that allow the devotee to proclaim his oneness with God ~ ‘Shivoham Shivoham’
 These ideas were shared with the devotees of Shiva at Sarvyodya Hindu Association Tolworth Surrey
