Over eons,Lord Shiva has risen to the top of Hindu Pantheon.A Pantheon consists of 10s of thousands of deities!! From his ancient beginnings, (stories of his birth are shrouded in mystery), to today, Shiva has become one of the 'great' gods of India, and known around the world.
Shiva is known for many things.As an ascetic, he renounces all worldly ties in order to devote himself to intense meditation atop Mount Everest. As a husband and a father, he is known for his love, loyalty and passion.Shiva is the God whom all the other turn to when they cannot solve a problem.
As a God of course, Shiva doesn't have worldly worries like us. He doesn't need to hold down a job, support a family or pay for a home.Yet he has a family.And when they get too much for him,he can lose his focus. So when the world gets too much for Shiva, he turns to Ekagrata, going to mountains to meditate and regain a sense of inner harmony through single-minded focus.
Shiva's Powers is Within You :-
In Hindu mythology, the mind has been attributed with great powers.Shiva epitomizes this power of mind by escaping the chaos of the world, isolating himself in order to cultivate focus.Through Ekgrata he is able to maintain control of his mind, his thoughts, words and actions.To achieve this control, in his guise as Maha(Great) Yogi, he teaches us the value of spending time alone, in introspection.
And when you understand Shiva, you will also accept that this power resides within you too. Even when you are going through a personal crisis or challenge, when you recognize the power of your mind and its ability to maintain focus through disciplined practise, you have the ability to stay on the path and actualize your dreams.
So here are the 3 simple steps you can take right Now :-
- Set an Intention.
