Part 2
In the process of Lord Brahma's Creation of Devas, Asuras, Pitras and Human Beings, Tamasika Guna prevailed most and he rubbed his thighs and created Danavas. He assumed another Physical form whose predominance was of Satvika guna and created Devas.So it goes on and on as to how he created birds, cows, how Manasika putras came etc...
I am sure many would have heard the below
Sarvam vishnu mayam Jagat
which means the whole universe is filled with Vishnu.
If you look at the Universe it is pitch dark. The blue sky we see is due to scattering of light. Needless to Say Vishnu is dark. His Sister Parvati/Kali is black too !
When any object is consumed by fire, it becomes charred.
If that black residue is burnt again, it becomes white ash. White ash continues to remain white even when burnt again. This shows that white is the ultimate and black is proximate to it.
Science tells us that diamond and coal are basically one.
White and black are not mentioned in the seven primary colours (VIBGYOR - Remember the experiments with Prism in physics labs, rainbows).
So, white and black are not colours in actual sense. The primary colours get separated from the objects to which they are attached when subjected to the test of fire and the objects themselves turn black first and ultimately white. Similarly, in the mental and spiritual plane, the Ultimate Reality is Shiva, who is white, and proximate to Him is Parvati, who is dark/black.
When we test everything in the fire of jnana, or true knowledge, the residue is white Shiva.
Ash in the material plane corresponds to Shiva in the spiritual plane.
We smear ours bodies with the sacred ash to remind ourselves of Shiva , realization of the Ultimate truth.
BTW, Shiva and MahaLakshmi (consort of Vishnu) have connections just as Vishnu/Vaishnavi or Narayana/Narayani.
Ardram yakarineem yastim pingalam Padma Malinim (Sree Suktha - Rig Veda)
Ardra star is common to both .
Aaditya-varane tapsodi jato vanaspatistava Vrukshotha Bilvaha (Sree Suktha - Rig Veda)
MahaLakshmi's favorite is Bilva too ! Bilva is from her upper body.
Vishnu is full of atributes (Saguna Bramham), Shiva is formless - no attributes (Nirguna Bramham, we call him Shiva etc just for our understanding)
That's why Shiva is worshipped in linga form while Mahavishnu does all Alankara (with peacock feather , crown etc in avatars as well).
Mahavishnu /yoga maya creates the illusion (am I talking too much black and white ? Scientists are still trying to figure out more about Black holes ...)
Even if you read Ayurveda they would compare the Vatha, Pitta, Kapha to Bramha, Shiva and Vishnu (another interesting area not for today, some other day). Since he is Pitta (fire), there is thaara pathraa that constantly cools Shiva Linga by dripping water.
Linga is an interesting structure - pill shaped/ellipsoid - three-dimensional analogue of an ellipse. Don't we talk about elliptical orbits.
"Instead of being perfectly round like a globe, the universe might be a bit stretched in shape like a pill.
The newly proposed shape could be caused by a magnetic field that pervades the entire cosmos or defects in the fabric of space and time" researchers from NASA. - google it out.
BTW I had the opportunity to work (as a researcher in Grad school) and interact with some professors/NASA scientists. Some of them truly appreciate our Vedic scriptures and in fact want to know more
I am not sure if some you folks have visited temple in Chidambaram (Sri Nataraja - cosmic dance). This is Aakasha Kshetra (representing Space) and one of the Pancha linga Kshetras (the rest being Kanchi- earth, Thiruvanaikoil - Water, Thiruvannamalai - Fire and Kalahastri - Wind/Vayu). You can see many foreigners here !
Chidambara Rahasyam is something folks especially in south would be more familiar. Why Rahasya/secret ? Shiva is in cosmic dancing form (Ananda Thandava) unlike a Linga. Of course there is a Spatika Linga that Sri Sankara had given.
What is the connect between Cosmos - Shiva ?
Wait for next part...
