Message.

The day we recognize and realize what we are, thats the day we will learn that theres no reason or motive to hate or kill each other. That day Mother Nature will be happy and proud of the burden she bears, that beautiful process called life.

[We are all light]

In this life and the next Stay in the light.

Namo Nama Mahadeva!

[shashihasina]

i chant this shiva song everyday. It gives so much calm and peace in heart and mind. It is in praise of lord shiva.

lord shiva decides whether one should get Moksha or rebirth. take shiva's name everyday as many times,. it cleans our heart and purifies our soul.

Joetempest87,

Grow up! È nato un cane, si muore un cane. Si comportano come un animale e un orribile vocabolario. Non parlare male di qualcosa di vostro piccolo cervello non può ancora comprendere. Se si sceglie di agire come questo animale, la fiducia me non sarà che il benessere degli animali!

[Awiesha]

thank you
