Who is Shiva?
According to scriptures, Lord Shiva is god who was residing in
Himalayan Mountains. Parvati was his wife and Ganesh and Kartik
were his sons. These are physical attributes but in true sense any
human being who attains 'self realization' achieves the internal
state of 'Shiva'.
Why is he also known as Neelkanth?
The essence behind the word "Neelkanth" is that one who has
swallowed all the poisons (abuses and insults) given to him in this
world with equanimity and yet offered blessings to others, hence
becoming Shiva.
The ultimate transition
from Om Namah Shivay to Shivoham Shivoham...
In the ignorant state (Jiva Dasha) one considers
himself separate from Shiva and says 'Om Namah Shivay' (I
bow to Shiva), but after attaining self realization one gets into
constant awareness of soul which is separate from the body and then
he experiences Shivoham, Shivoham...(I am Shiva, I am
Shiva). I am a soul and not the body. Thereafter, there remains no
distinction between Shiva and my true self.
Param Pujya Dadashri achieved self realization (experience of
the soul) in June 1958. He used to impart the same 'self
realization' to others in just 2 hours. Pujya Dr. Niruma attained
self realization from Pujya Dadashri in 1968.
You too can experience self realization by attending
'Gnanvidhi' from Pujya Deepakbhai. Thereafter by observing
five Agnas (fundamental principles) would lead you to
ultimate salvation.
