Now that you mentioned him.....any thing and every thing about My Shiva makes me happy.....I live in the hope that one day...I will see God in the form of Shiva...❤️

I only believe in one God, just one higher power up there. so it's really hard for me to explain to non-Hindus when they ask me which Gods/Goddesses I worship. ☢️ Some argue that I don't get to pick and choose but what do they know anyway. I am kinda tired of explaining to people that I don't worship "idols" or stones but rather a higher power that manifests itself in any shape and form, living and non-living being.

I like the chants not because I'm a Shiva devotee but it brings a sense of calmness, inner peace .... just feeling connected to something higher up works for me. :)

Yup...all our mantras if chanted correctly have the ability to calm one down.....when I am anxious ....I keep chanting the Gayatri mantra and Mahamrityunjai jaap...and it calms me down instantly...😊

I tell u an easy way.

God is one but can assume different shapes & functions and hence names. For ex. Water.

Water, i.e ground water or water when used for germination of seeds (i.e. giving life) is Brahma. Rain Water or water when used for growth & sustenance of that seedling to become a plant or tree is Vishnu. And finally flood water or water that uproots that plant and takes away it's life is Shiva.

Same water different properties, functions and names. Same God different properties, functions and names.

Time to write

A good book/movie

Sometimes, a good argument.

Discovering myself , self realisation gives happiness , I get happiness from lower to higher truth .

I visited pilgrims . I heard there are 18 Shakthi peetas in world . I visited 9 , my mom 11 r 12 I think n I feel blessed to even cover it so far . Adi parashakthi gives true , ultimate happiness . I want to see her n my soul reach her n no next birth .

My crystals and witchcraft supplies

> Being around people who make me laugh/bring me comfort

> Really pretty trees, bodies of water, mountains, esp when you can hear birds chirping in the background or just quietness

> Cute baby animals

> Squirrels nibbling on nuts

> Seeing ducks waddle around

> Iced coffee

> Food so good that I have to thank the universe for giving me the opportunity to have it
