Lord Shiva Dwells In Your Heart And Home Always!
History is a process of
evolution and change. Mother Earth keeps on changing through wars, conflicts,
rivalries, reforms and recreation in an endless cycle. Mother Earth belongs to
the whole of humankind, and not to any particular section of it. Since evolution
has been the eternal cycle human discoveries and inventions definitely mark the
progress of humankind. In modern times archaeological surveys lead to priceless
discoveries of civilizations, scriptures and monuments. Such priceless assets
add to our knowledge and should ideally be preserved in museums and research
institutions. Such discoveries should never ever lead to disputes or quarrels
over the rights of ownership as we just said Mother Earth belongs to all. Petty
quarrels make Lord Shiva very angry and we’ve been watching the devastation
caused by Mother Nature in the recent decades, and mind you, the Shakti or the energy
of Lord Shiva’s better half Parvati or Durga or Kali gets channelized through
the Lord only.
Throughout history many
of the kings or emperors, irrespective of their religions, had either done a
lot of good or did a lot of evil deeds and acts of destructions. Many invaders
coming from various regions of the world ravaged and savaged our countries on
many occasions leaving a trail of pain and suffering; however, the next rulers
repaired again, and therefore, the process goes on. We cannot bring those to
court for doing wrongs over the centuries, neither can we reward those
benevolent ones in public events. But we can do indeed learn, gather knowledge
and follow the good ideals.
We should consider
ourselves very lucky to be living in a modern and digital world of today where
everything is at our fingertips. We can even find our beloved gods and goddesses
in our handy devices and sing or listen to prayers, either alone with oneself
or with others, within them. If we find something objectionable or we disagree
with something/someone we can always exchange our views openly in a peaceful
and a virtually-built environment, instead of breaking out in open physical conflicts
that definitely anger the divine powers, Mother Earth and Mother Nature. The best
option is to go on enhancing our Gyan or wisdom rather than be vapid about it.
We should also shift
our focus on how to further the all-round progress of our country in all fields
of activity. We’ve seen how the Pandemic nearly destroyed us; how the economies
have been hit; how the inflation is becoming uncontrollable; how the gas
cylinder prices have shot up beyond the 1k mark and the fuel prices have crossed
the 100+ mark, still rising; how the unemployment has been becoming a scourge;
and what has been happening to our neighboring country Sri Lanka. We have much
to ponder upon while keeping our prayers pure and within ourselves. Besides,
should we go on with our relentless hunts/quests/pleas to overburden our courts
that have already been reeling under extreme pressure?
