Sawan 2025: A Shiva devotee remains free from the fear of death, disease and grief:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Jagadguru Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati (Senior Member, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra Trust). Shiva is altruistic, he is bliss. Shiva is Bhagwant, he is Omkar. Shiva is Brahma, Shiva is religion. Shiva is power, Shiva is devotion. Where there is religion, there is Shiva. Shivling represents the formless and real nature of Lord Shiva. A devotee of Shiva does not fear death, disease and grief. In Yajurveda, Shiva is described as the giver of peace.

Shiva created three subtle deities named Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Mahesh is also a name of Shiva) for the establishment, sustenance and destruction of the universe. In this way Shiva became the creator of the universe. That is why Shiva is called Mahadev. Shiva is most worshipped in the form of a stone in the shape of a penis. There is a lot of confusion about the word Linga. Linga in Sanskrit means a symbol. Shivalinga means.

Shiva means the symbol of the supreme man in harmony with nature. Lord Shiva's appearance is as strange as it is attractive. His matted locks symbolize the space and the moon symbolizes the mind. He has three eyes, that is why he is also called Trilochan. These eyes symbolize Satva, Raja, Tama (three qualities), past, present (three future times), heaven, death, hell (three worlds).

Violent creatures like snakes are under the control of Shiva. His trident destroys physical, divine and spiritual sufferings. While the sound of Damru is the form of Brahma. The garland of skulls around Shiva's neck gives the message of controlling death. Mahadev rides on a four-legged animal and gives the message that Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are attained by his grace.
