Introduction to Lord Shiva Part 1

This is a translation of Swami Vivekanandas Sanskrit hymn to Shiva, reproduced from his Complete Works 4: 501-04.

Salutation to Shiva! whose glory
Is immeasurable, who resembles sky
In clearness, to whom are attributed
The phenomena of all creation,
The preservation and dissolution
Of the universe! May the devotion,
The burning devotion of this my life
Attach itself to Him, to Shiva, who,
While being Lord of all, transcends Himself.

In whom Lordship is ever established,
Who causes annihilation of delusion,
Whose most surpassing love, made manifest,
Has crowned Him with a name above all names,
The name of Mahadeva, the Great God!
Whose warm embrace, of Love personified,
Displays, within the heart, that all power
Is but a semblance and a passing show.

In which the tempest of the whole past blows,
Past Samskaras, stirring the energies
With violence, like water lashed to waves;
In which the dual consciousness of I and Thou
Plays on: I salute that mind unstable,
Centered in Shiva, the abode of calm!

Where the ideas of parent and produced,
Purified thoughts and endless varied forms,
Merge in the Real one; where the existence ends
Of such conceptions as within, without
The wind of modification being stilled
That Hara I worship, the suppression
Of movements of the mind. Shiva I hail!
Shiva means Infinite,the creator,preserver and distroyer of evils.Shiva is formless.The power or Shakti of Shiva is callled Parvati.Ganesha and Kartik were the first two illumined positive soul to merge with Shiva after attaining nirvana.They are also called the son of God just like Christ.

Although people can meditate and take the postive energy.Few go for piligrimage round Mount Kailasha which has a high density of positive energy.People have never climbed it but they make 7 rounds of the mountain.
The scientific reason for not climbing Mount Kailasha is that our body is not tuned with the high positive energy.

Hindu art has depicted shiva using different artforms.

Lord Shiva veritably presides over the worlds largest experiment as scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the worlds most powerful particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory near Geneva in search of the 'God particle'.

The Natraja is the clearest image of the activity of God which any art or religion can boast of" ... "Thousands of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes.

In our time, physicists have used the most advanced technology to portray the patterns of the cosmic dance. The metaphor of the cosmic dance thus unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics

There are various mythological stories behind Shiva which has been spoken and they are shruti.

No one has climbed the mountain? I think when I was watching a Sadhguru video they said the mountain can't be climbed it has such steep rock faces.
