SHIVRATRI: ABC POEM ON SHAIVISM


 According to Isha Foundation, the festival of 'Maha Shivratri is more than just a religious festival — it is an opportunity for spiritual transformation and self-discovery through the night in meditation, chanting mantras, or simply reflecting on life’s deeper purpose.' We need to see the occasion 'as a reminder of Lord Shiva’s infinite grace and wisdom.'

Here is an ABC poem on Shaivism to understand significance of Shivratri

ABC poem on Shaivism

A: Auspiciousness, ambivalence, benevolence and universal welfare are the values in Shaivism and their attainment through perseverance is to be emphasized

B: Based on three existential principles consisting of Pati (Lord Shiva as the supreme soul), Pashu (individual soul which is dormant divine), and Pasha (Earthly or worldly bondages) which at times is called Shaiv Sidhanta

C: Cosmic dancer who created an eternal rhythm in the Universe which is viewed as aesthetics of existence in birth, life and death

D: Diversity of schools of Shaivism from monism (cantered on karma / bhakti/ janan / raj yoga leading to purity of mind or self-realisation) to pluralism through religious and ritualistic aspects or acts of worship

E: Evolution of mind through austerities, simplicity, frugalism, forbearance, forgiveness and asceticism to become a compassionate and benevolent mind connected to the supreme being - Lord Shiva
