Shiva Guru Spark Vasi yoga

 🔱Shiva Guru Spark Vasi yoga🔥

There is a crescent moon on Shiva’s head. The moon is representative of the mind. We should strive to keep our state of mind like the crescent moon. The crescent moon represents a humble state of mind where the ego is subdued. The full moon on the other hand represents a “know it all” mentality.

When the ego is controlled and humility is present, the mind too will keep on growing – because it will be receptive to learn new things, and will inevitably gain in strength and knowledge. The crescent moon represents a state of mind where a person understands that “No matter how much I know, there is still more to learn. Such person will always grow in wisdom, like the crescent moon.

Whereas arrogant person, overly proud of their knowledge and feels like they have nothing else to learn will diminish, like the full moon. The idea is to keep humble, and have the understanding that no matter how much we know, there is still more to learn.

In an ancient story from the Puranas, Shiva once drank the deadly poison that was thrown up by the ocean. Therefore his neck turned blue. The poison represents all the negativity and evil in the world. But it is important not to allow this poison to affect and harm us – this requires vigilance. This is the meaning of “keeping the poison in the neck”, whereby it is kept at a level that we can manage without allowing it to poison us.

We can see a fountain of water flowing from Shiva’s head. This is the River Ganga. According to a story from the Puranas, the Rishis had secured the descent of the Ganga from the Heavens to the Earth. However the force of the descent was so powerful that it would have caused huge destruction on the earth. Shiva agreed to take the blow of the Ganga onto his head, from which it flowed onto the Earth.

The Ganga symbolises spiritual wisdom. The highest spiritual secrets must be taken to the masses gradually and carefully, otherwise they can cause much confusion to the average man, who is still at an earlier stage of their personal development and will not understand them. They must be channelled through the mind of a wise and learned sage. When this is done, the wisdom becomes relevant, beautiful and of benefit to all.✨🔥🔱
