I had already told in one of my posts that I never understood a human-being’s mentality and God! Yes – God!
Pointing at a big photo frame, my dad once told (not once, everytime), “He is…”, one great ‘personality’ whom we unanimously treat as the very-cause and result for everything, “…Bheemalingeshwara”. No matter how much interest I have in logic, reason and physical science, I could not deny that he is ‘everything’. On understanding some books and lectures I came to know Lord Shiva’s tattvam as a mere science, call it – Khagolam, jyothishyam or life-survival whatever.
He is fused into Nature. Nature always appear as ‘Sa-amba-siva’ to me! My dad’s injection of Lord Shiva’s tattvam turned me into his Bhakta. On every visit to my native, I first visit my Lord’s temple – the feeling I get on seeing at the lingam is unexplainable. I feel assured! I stare at that lingam affectionately thinking who can else give THIS MUCH THIS MUCH THIS MUCH assurance being ‘in the position of God!’ Just as a practice only I visit Ganapathi mandir in that temple premises being hurry to see my great-father, Lord Shiva. I preferred ‘Hara hara hara mahadeva, shambho shankara’ to ‘Aum bhoorbhuvah suvaha’. I preferred “Naagendra haaraaya thrilochanaaya!” to “Saraswathee Namasthubhyam!” I never looked at him as an entity to be feared.
I deared him. I befriended him. I loved him. But he never deared me, never befriended me, never loved me! I am being totally ignored by him!
He never answered my prayers! He never fulfilled my ‘high-priority’ wishes! He never responded when I cried for help! Did he forget me thinking that I would love him forever as usual? Or, being I am one in million of his sons, am I being ignored? I could not digest the truth that he ignored me! When I prayed him that much why should he ignore me?
I swear, for more than 2 months I did not pray anyone who is being called as God, call him – Shiva, Rama, Jesus or Allah (Sorry for differentiate them! They all same)! Then my love towards my very interests, logic and reason started developing/ growing/ strengthening. I gave much time to think about the happenings! I am not so intelligent to draw conclusions of illusions called God! But I could formulate something! The thought process took me into my childhood, I got the greatest parents, greatest sisters, won considerable number of prizes, won great accolades, studied very well, earning very well, had been to Paris on work, being treated by my friends better, I am having good life! Then what the hell I am missing in life?
That night I though much and much, more and more… Am I doing mistake? Is my great-father ignoring me or am I ignoring him? Don’t I have gratitude for all the good happenings? I just slipped into deep sleep.
I ran to Shiva temple. I did not clean my feet, I did not even visited Ganesha Mandir, I just wanted to stare at my great-father! :’( I just wanted to be what I was! I was shouting “Hara Hara Mahadeva shambho shankara.” There were so many crowds! I was still yelling, “Hara hara mahadeva”, no one is making way for me to see my great-father, :’( Aalaya archaka was lighting haarathi, still I could not see my father, Archaka started, “namo bhavāya cha rudrāya cha namaḥ śarvāya cha paśupataye cha”, crowd started ringing the heavenly bells, I was wandering there to see my Lord, At last, Yes… I saw my Lord. The Mahalingam looking more-than-divine this time, I kept on shouting more “Hara hara mahadeva”, my tears were taking away my mistakes, I am what I was, I am dearing him, I am befriending him, I am talking to him, I am loving him. My great-father is always what he is… now, he is dearing me ‘again’, befriending me ‘again’, talking to me and loving me too ‘again and again’!
Sudden wake-up. I am literally crying! With in minutes I ran to see my great-father.
Every happening carries its own meaning! If my great-father did not fulfill my wishes he might be looking for some more great things for me! If my great-father did not fulfill my wish, might be I was not ‘eligible’ for it! My God is not a fool to give valuable things when I am not eligible. First of all I should ask myself, “Am I really eligible for my wish. Am I ready to take it? Am I worth being the owner of that wish?”
After this thought process I formulated one life-style-rule for myself, if I achieve something I will give the total credit to God and will thank him!, if I lose something, I Think about it, if it is my mistake I will take the burden of scolding myself unconditionally admitting my mistake.
All of our wishes are one(s) among millions and millions of seeds! But every seed needs Air, water and earth to come be-living into this world! It just takes time! It just takes God’s wish/order! God never ignores his sons! He is always there with us every second, every moment to take care of us! He always loves us, it is us who toggles love and hate on him! It is upto us to feel his presence! Let us be ‘eligible’ before we wish!
We all may love Paramapurusha, we all may love Jehovah, we all may love Allah! Hara hara mahadeva! Aum namahsivaaya!
Why did you include this post in Christianity?
Actually I did not want to give a reply to this comment Kranthi. As I follow Hindu religion I mentioned Lord Shiva. If any Christian had same thoughts, he would have written in the name of Jehovah or Jesus, and same with a Muslim.
God’s character is same at every time – there are no religions. It’s upto you what you chose, but ultimately we have to do good and be good.
PLEASE READ THE POST – replace Lord Shiva with Jesus Christ, Temple with Church and the hymns with holy Bible’s lines.
Chandu
Awesome bro.
Very nice post!
Your later paragraph in TEMPLE is awesome. I saw greed in that para for god. The last line “We all may love Paramapurusha, we all may love Jehovah, we all may love Allah! Hara hara mahadeva! Aum namahsivaaya!” is truly truly mind blowing.
Nice post.
Thanks for reading my post
Too good chandu, we are not ignored, in fact we are lucky to have loving parents.We have every thing in life , but instead of enjoying what we have , we are wasting time in thinking about …
” Then what the hell I am missing in life? ” and am very sure we will not find the answer for this question.And finally don’t ignore GOD
I dont agree. You can find answer for the question – what you are missing in our lives. So many we miss. We miss the things and regret later. We blame god for this instead of blaming ourselves. That is why I formulated my live-living-style like … accept the mistakes, thank god!
Thanks for your comment Sowmya!
Keep visiting my blog.
This is total crap. Are you a Hindu fanatic?
I am really sorry to write crappy things. I could not win your heart with this post. Sorry.
I am not a Hindu fanatic. My FANATICISM IS ABOUT GOD. GOD IS A BIG MYSTERY FOR ME.
Fanaticism about God? Funny….
This line is CLASSIC.
I deared him. I befriended him. I loved him. But he never deared me, never befriended me, never loved me! I am being totally ignored by him!
By the way what were your High priority wishes?
Jeevan
Thanks Jeevan. I cannot tell my High priority wishes right now here. sorry!
Keep reading my blog
What you read? What is Lord Shiva’s tatvam? How could you write those bold statements? Did you really understand God?
Your writing is good. Temple scene is good. Mentioning Lord Shiva as Great father is awesome. While praying Ganesha, being hurry to see Lord Shiva is too good.
Nice post.
Hey Manas… Thanks for your questions. Really I liked your questions.
I read some meaner books that I could understand. I cannot explain Shiva tattvam here. It is much more than that. I guess even Adi Shankaracharya cannot explain Shiva tattvam with his divinely omniscience. BUT THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD GOD IS KEEPING ME HAPPY. I HAVE MY RELIGION. I AM FOLLOWING THAT.
Keep visiting my blog Manas
I dont think you need a religion to be happy. Be good and do good. It will be enough. If God is there, he will be happy for what you are doing. If he is not existing, then you are keeping this place a happy one to live in.
Chandu
Are you in greater difficulties? Through out the post, I could see angry on God. But you are still angry on God, but for readership sake, you might have told now you are happy with god.
Interesting thing is… scolding yourself for your mitakes is good. But giving credit to god shows utter fear you have in denying him. You are just ignoring him now too I feel.
Nice post. Great pain is there in your post. THAT IS FOR SURE.
Hey Bhavana… How are you? Welcome back.
No comments for your comment. But I am not in difficulties. I am not angry on God. I am angry on myself.
Keep reading.
“No matter how much interest I have in logic, reason and physical science, I could not deny that he is ‘everything’”
This line is too good! Nice post.
You are insane! There is some confusion in your mind. You got hurt in your life.
you are right buddy.. “Let us be ‘eligible’ before we wish!”
Dear Chandu, I never tried to understand the Tatva and aadhyaatmikam of our Hindu Mithology. I may not be a suitable person on this subject.but iam unable to resist from appriciating …..you….
The free flow of your expression is wonderful.feelings on same expressions will differ from one to other.Proceed and Do wonders in your own way…. Nutakki
Sir, I am more than delighted, you visited my blog. Thank you very much sir. Your comment is an ‘Value-addition’ to my blog.
Dhanyosmi.
Nice post with simple expression.
Thanks SriVasuki gaaru. Thank you.
(I had already told in one of my posts that I never understood a human-being’s mentality and God! Yes – God!)
The day u understand him and know him completely He is no more a GOD !!!
and btw, we cannot fully understand and comprehend God with our limited brain power !!!
It just like a dog cannot understand ur mathematics and physics!!!
Its something beyond and God has to reveal himself to us to know something about Him
He created all of us and He loves His creation more than anything..
btw, i dont believe my grand grandfather was a monkey
Robin, well said. Each and every sentence of yours is just a truth one should accept.
“God has to reveal himself to us to know something about Him” This line is awesome.
Hey man…
what is this? The temple scene you are rushing for seeing Shiva is too awesome. Did you have interest in screenplay by chance?
Hai Mr.Chandu
here Iam waiting for your new post. When it will come? Why don’t you write in telugu language?
I am sorry for keep you waiting. New post is coming soon.
I have many friends who doesn’t know Telugu. For them, I am writing in English.
But I try to write in Telugu! It is nice suggestion in fact.
SreeVasuki gaaroo… nenu kotha post raasanu. Choodavalasindi gaa naa abhyardhana.
Chandu
It was nice that you have realised the truth. Only a small suggestion-your presentation is very good, but it needs some fine tuning regarding few spellings and grammar. Please take due care and you would be unstoppable!
May God Bless you!
Thanks guruvu gaaroo… for visiting my blog!
I will take care about spellings and all when next time I am posting. I do type in my mobile ( I dont have spell checker).
But, thank you very much for your suggestions. I will really take care next time.
Dhanyavaadamulu.
Chandu
