हर पल, हर कदम, हर विचार, हर कार्य और हर दिशा में जिसकी अनंत ऊर्जा है बसी, वही शिव है। शम्भो शंकरा!

ప్రతి క్షణం, ప్రతి అడుగు, ప్రతి ఆలోచన, ప్రతి పని మరియు ప్రతి దిశలో ఎవరి అనంత శక్తి ప్రకాశిస్తుందో ఆయనే భోళా శంకరుడు. హర హర మహాదేవ … శంభో శంకర!!! 🙏🕉️

🌸🤍🌸🪷🪷🌸🤍🌸 AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA 🌺🌺BEAUTIFUL ARDHANARISHVARA 🔱🔱from @rsfinearts_mandalas • The Ardhanarishvara (Sanskrit: अर्धनारीश्वर, Ardhanārīśvara, 'the half-female Lord'), is a form of the Hindu deity Shiva combined with his consort Parvati. Ardhanarishvara is depicted as half-male and half-female, equally split down the middle. The Ardhanarishvara represents a constructive and generative power. It conveys the unity of opposites in the universe. The male half stands for Purusha and female half is Prakriti. On the occasion of Maha Shivratri, I extend my warm wishes to you and your loved ones. ❌Do Not Copy without permission🚫 ❇️If you are recreating my art then please give credits❇️ 👩🏻‍🎨Painting done on iPad pro using Apple Pencil ✏️ and @procreate app ❤️Hope you guys like it 😍 Please share your views ❤️❤️ • • 👩🏻‍🎨 #rsfinearts_mandalas 👩🏻‍🎨 • • • #ilovesharingmandala #mandalaslovers #_mandala_drawings #blxckmandalas #zenartfeatures #zentanglekiwi #zendoodleart_feature #mandalagalaxy #rsfinearts #mahashivratri #hallofmandalas #loveformandala #indian_artists_club #global_artists_club #mahashivratri2023 #shivratri #mahashivaratri #shiva #adiyogi #adiyogishiva #adiyogi_ke_bhakt #ardhanarishvara #ardhanareshwar #ardhanarishwara #shivashakti #ardhanarishwar #ardhanarisvara #ardhanariswarapandubakti https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1jnzBODCa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

happy Mahāśivarātri! 🙏 reflecting today on the need to destroy within that which is familiar to be reborn as new. a poem inspired by the homam witnessed at the Chidambaram Temple (pictured):

Agni is starved

mantra pours into the fire ghee pours into the fire milk pours into the fire curd pours into the fire sugar pours into the fire silk pours into the fire

fear pours into the fire past pours into the fire doubt pours into the fire attachment pours into the fire woe pours into the fire ire pours into the fire

Agni licks his lips

quenching the homam within, i wear the embers on my eyelids with each blink i regenerate.

Har Har Mahādeva!

  🔱 further context: scholar Richard K. Payne explores homa as symbiosis between fire, the deity invoked in and concomitantly identified with the fire, and with the practitioner, who themselves becomes ‘ritually identified with both the deity and the fire’. in this, the offerings immolated in the fire are connoted with ‘spiritual obstacles that impede the practitioner from full awakening’. most significantly, ‘the practitioner’s own inherent wisdom is identified with the fire, and just as the offerings are transformed and purified, the practitioner’s own spiritual obstacles are, as well’. (2017)

Payne interestingly identifies two strains of interpretation of the ritual: first, ‘the yogic interiorization of ritual found in post-Vedic Indian religion, more as a form of esoteric physiology than as a psychologized understanding of visualization’; second, ‘the sexual symbolism' 'attached to all aspects of fire rituals’. (2017)

Uma Maheshwara, Kedareshwara temple, Halebidu 🌻- . Goddess Parvati reffered as Uma and Lord Shiva is refereed as Maheshwara.The meaning of Uma is goddess of light and the Goddess of mountain in Sanskrit. The word Maheshwara means Lord Shiva himself or the lord of higher order. . The bonding and love between these two gods is legendary and decipted as the origin of generation of this universe. . The combined form of Lord shiva and Mata Parvati treated as inoperable combination of matter and energy, which implies the fact of nothing exist in this universe without the grace of Lord shiva and Goddess Parvati. -हिंदूपद . . . . . #kedareshwaratemple #shiva #mahashivaratri #architecture #hindu #templesofindia #history #hoysalatemple #hoysalavaibhava #halebidu #mypixeldiary #travel #travelphotography #wanderlust #mobile__photography___ #photooftheday #karnataka #travelkarnataka #incrediblekarnataka #karnatakafocus #nammakarnatakaphotographers #_coi #storiesofindia #igersofindia #india_gram #indiaview #tales_of_india #_hpics #everydayindia #instagram (at Balligavi Kedareshwara Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1Zu_7roew/?utm_medium=tumblr
