Happy maha shivaratri i love this video about god Shiva

[@lakshaychaudhary3555]

Shiva the ultimate reality... Everything is inside shiva

[@purnimanigam6708]

Yes true

[@835_subham9]

😆😆😆 Oh really, there's nothing wrong in the Vaishnavite tradition where it is iterated God is Everything. You are Nothing. It is true I guess, isn't it?? Just that the truth is explained to you in a concocted and distorted way. It is twisted. God is everything and you are nothing implies in this world of unending maaya, there's no you in you. Who is the you in you, if everything is God. This is a perfect description to break away one's delusion from materialistic aspects of life.

I ALWAYS LIKED THE ARDHNARESHWARA ROOP OF SHIV-SHAKTI.

[@noreen54]

This man speaks so eloquently and gentle : ) Too many gods !! It gets confusing : ) But, Sri Lakhani breaks things down without loosing its content.

[@badripoondi5181]

Hindu scripture says how God decided to create the wonderful cosmos with myriad life forms from micro to macro animate to inanimate entities galore! He is said to have resolved "I am single, let me become many" (Ekoham bahusyaam). Just see how he made us humans, how many races, languages, arts and sports! From polar icelands to deserts and hostile forests /hills humans thrive with multiple variations but same endowments to command their ambiance and survive! All living and non living entities are pervaded by divine (yath kinchith jagath sarvam drishyathe sruyathebi va, anthar bahischa thath sarvam vyaapya Narayana sthithah.. Whatever is seen or heard around are pervaded by God, says the scripture) that is why a Hindu worships plants, animals, birds and all. Same God also appears in different ways to different people /cultures and among even denominations. The ways people speak of God and engage in rituals vary. The Veda however says "Ekam sath vipraha bahudha vadhanthi" Truth is One, the learned (say Rishis /Prophets) say in different ways! So a Hindu does not deny any God Form as the same entity appears in different ways to different people! Water as solid ice, as liquid water and vapour steam are all so different in form but same in substance. EVenso God is same though in different forms! Have a grt day!

Śiva is a name of the great god Sri Rudra.

[@purnimanigam6708]

Yes

[@tushargaikwad4472]

Shiva Means Nothingness and Rudra Means Roaring, Both are Forms of Universe, the Starting Form Was Rudraswarupa (Big Bang) and After That Shiva (99% of Universe) it Is Very Hard to Understand Shiva, it can only be Experienced.

[@soesmamalinir1601]

Wonderful explanation!

[@ishanvidyarthi7340]

That was so honest and loyal word s sir the best thing I have ever heard.

[@spruceguitar]

This is one of your most beautiful talks Mr Lakhani. There are many exceptions to this interpretation though. When we think of Shaivism and 10th century Abhinavagupta ... Abhinavagupta was dressed in silk, had all the blessings of Vishnu, yet he was an avatar of Shiva. Did not walk in ashes. So we have to ask ourselves ... when we say Shiva... do we mean the Triadic Shiva from the Hindu tradition, or do we mean Shiva as the counterpart of Shakti from the Tantric tradition, or the Shiva of Abhinavagupta (Devadeva). Literature abunds of the name Shiva, but each time we can tell from the context what aspect was referred to. When the Tantrics saw what Shiva had become for the Hindus, they changed the name to Bhairava. They went “If that’s what you mean by Shiva, keep that name for yourselves, because this is not our idea of Shiva, we will call him Bhairava...” So the name Shiva represents many divine aspects

[@venkatraghavan7243]

Valid point. Shiva = God & God's grace both combined together for one price i.e Trust on him or Bhakthi on him. Only Advaitha(Non- Duality)philosophy teaches us We and Shiva are one and the same. Vaishnava tradition is Dvaita(Duality) philosophy so definitely they will not agree We and Vishnuu are one.

[@Rossion64]

Vishnu as Rama is so perfect I am afraid of Him. I worship Mother Bhuvanesvari instead. I like Siva.

[@ramakrishnansubbiyan1764]

Tamil say Agam...ma..path of 🌌way to🔥 Ash ...conscious.. Outside puram..is 💯vishnu..krishna conscious all ornaments... Likes..him laxmi puja🙏.

[@tivo3720]

What is shiva lingum sir????? Can u spot some light on it.

[@aryaparivar104]

Sir..plz read a book named as the light of truth wrote by maharshi dayanad saraswati...plzzzzzz

[@HinduAcademy]

Lakhani Sir has studied life and teaching of Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, if you are alluding to Murti puja, Lakhani sir says it is one of the way to be spiritual, may we suggest you read "Gospel of Ramakirshna" by Swami Nikhilananda ?

[@badripoondi5181]

The talk is so informative and instructive to a practicing Hindu but many are still confused by the multiplicity of Forms spoken and worshiped in our Faith, as may be seen from the responses here. So the talks may perhaps be tuned to address basic doubts of non practicing Hindus and non Hindus who listen out of curiosity to know about our religious tradition please.

[@sushilabastaray8778]

Can you tell end of the Siva life story don't say

[@cubanadiense]

can I think of Shiva as a Being? or as the force of constant change of creation and destruction and thus That Which Is Not? can I think of him as the force cause of Maya? Can he even be defined ?

[@HinduAcademy]

to define god/shiva is an impossible task, you may try, our capacity is limited hence the way think about Shiva will be limited, the idea is to experience Shiva by praying/meditating on Shiva, when you have a real WOW experience thats when you can appriciate what Shiva is all about.

[@sunnycriti9809]

There are some in India like the Kirati in India who say that Shivah was their God ? The Brahmin Priest later integrated it in the Pantheon

[@JazzLoverKhurram]

In a way the greatest love story I thought to myself: Parvati, merging with Shiva to become one half of his body,...literally his "Other Half". And they were the "Outsider Couple" among the gods.. Vishnu and Laxmi are great fun but he's a bit of a show-off it's true, incredibly smart and with integrity issues rising up from time to time...must be the Naga 🐸side of him 😊 The real interesting one no Hindus mention are Power Couple Brahma (Yahweh Elohim) and Saraswati. (Sophia) who rule the West with it's knowledge based Abrahamic Greco-Roman Babylonian Matrix world of deceit, money, mayhem and grand theft. 😆..I compare their antics to watching an episode of Fawlty Towers... 😂😂😂

[@vish2ual]

Everything is Rudra- vedas (that's Shiva)

[@tanmoyhawlader3806]

Incarnations are directed by the supreme power, can be recognised by the word GOD and in order to rescue the living beings from sufferings these incarnations are ordered to come in existence by that supreme power,I believe this supreme power as an undivided whole-the infinite energy, incarnates from time to time so as to show the way of selfless nature directly as lord Shiva through knowledge and meditation, who says living being's very essence is I am the Shiva or indirectly as lord Krishna who says us all to be selfless by casting your ‘aham or selfish' nature through surrender unto his lotous feet ! Or like Jesus through tolerance or Allha through believe upon one or like Buddha(a fulfillment of Hinduism) through believe, patience and meditation that you are selfless, real nature is somewhere within, relate and reach unto that infinite “ the self ”! This is all I understand.

[@KrishGandhi787]

In Shiva tradition shiva is not God. But Shiv-Shakti IS GOD.

[@kashmirpandit]

Thos captions are annoying.

[@rajivpandey8329]

Dhruva was great devotee of lord vishnu. If u read child Dhruva story in which he didnt find love and care from his parents particularly his step mother then he felt alone and he did tapsya to meet Lord vishnu. He did tapasya for so many years and finally after his great devotion,he became dhruva star and given dhruva lok. Mr lakhani told lord vishnu is a tricky god.I dnt agree as God always makes sure he is unbiased and does everything for goodness of his sons/creatures. Lord vishnu allowed child dhruva to attain such a state of salvation which he actually deserved as he had the will power to achieve dhruva lok.You cant say lord vishnu was tricky.His arrival to dhruva was delayed for some meaningful reason. God doesnt do anything without purpose.

[@srinjoyroychoudhury7034]

Rajiv Pandey You missed the whole point of his argument.

[@riturajsundriyal]

I agree with what said about shiva , a godly personality. Sir but when every thing is shiva , still this personality meditate on Rama . Why ? This is because Rama is essential nature of shiva the permananda . Where as Rama praise shiva him as his almighty. According to me same God conscious, when love primordial energy manifest him self a so called personality Rama, krishna, Vishnu , and when the same God conscious need to analyze the entire data of Maya univers's matrix and evaluate and give result manifest as rudra , shiva. One counsiusness but to for purpose of bhakta manifest into any form.

[@palamirtammarimuthu1752]

Shiva created Ravana......and Vishnu had to come to the rescue of Seeta in Rama avatar..........hmmmmmmm

[@ishanchakraborty12sciencea11]

Shiva is both ravana as well as vishnu or rama as well as hanuman

[@rayasamsurekha7064]

Sir our culture is advaita. Please donot make differentiation between lord siva and lord kesava. Narayani and narayana are of same manifestations.It is advised in our sacred texts that never make even any sort of differential thought between the two forms of single eternal entity.Doing such differentiaton harmful.Sivasya hrudayam vishnu vidhnuscha hridayagm sivaha.

[@winstonbachan9229]

HEY I'M SHIVA! Lol

[@Mahesh-rb8xf]

You're actually just like me. Har har Mahadev = everyone is lord Shiva.

[@ishanvidyarthi7340]

[@palamirtammarimuthu1752]

ya...so easy to please.......and allows devils to challenge Himself.........with no hindsight.........no vision....and Sakthi has to come rescue the world.......hmmmmmm Shiva is a bad judge of character......
