When you are in that high consciousness, this whole world looks like a dream. All of us have taken a role.

When an actor bitten by a sponge cobra that is brought on the stage falls, the entire audience cries; but that boy who has fallen knows it was not a real cobra and he is not dead. Life is a drama --definitely life in this material world, this physical world of ego, is a drama.

Bhalachandra means that chakra from where the nectar drips. That is the secret of all healing. It is to feel yourself as Shiva, identifying yourself with the Truth and feeling constantly that you are carrying the crescent moon, the symbol of growth and nectar of peace.HanumanMula Mantra : Om Shri Hanumate NamahHanuman Gayatri Mantra: Aum Anjaneyaye Vidmahe Mahabalaye DheemahiTanno Hanumat PrachodayatShri Hanuman ChalisaShri Hanuman Chalisa is a prayer of "forty verses".

Shiva is a complex god, in terms of nature and represents contradictory qualities, being the destroyer and the restorer simultaneously. There are numerous legends surrounding Lord Shiva and his powers. Herere a few popular stories of Lord Shiva.Story of Shiva Lingam - Why Shiva is worshipped in the Phallic FormThis is an interesting story regarding the worship of Lord Shiva in the phallic form. It is believed that once Brahma and Vishnu, the two deities of the Trinity, got into an argument regarding their supremacy. Lord Brahma declared himself to be more admired, being the creator. While the preserver, Vishnu, pronounced that he commanded more admiration. Just then a huge pillar of fire (lingam), called as Jyotirlinga, appeared in flames, before them. This Lingam enthralled both Brahma and Vishnu, with its hastily increasing size. With this incident, they forgot their quarrel and decided to find its size. Vishnu took the form of boar and went to the netherworld. Brahma assumed the form of a Swan and flew to the skies. However both of them were unsuccessful in completing the self-assumed tasks. At that time, Shiva appeared out of the lingam and acknowledged that he was the progenitor of both, Brahma and Vishnu. So, he should be worshipped in his phallic (lingam) form, and not in the anthropomorphic form.Story of Shiva and the HunterHere is one more interesting story of Lord Shiva, showing his merciful nature. Once a hunter was wandering in a dense forest, to chase a deer and suddenly he found himself on the banks of river Kolidum, where he heard the roar of a tiger. In order to defend himself from the tiger, he climbed up a tree close by. The Tiger sat on the ground below the tree without the purpose to leave. The huntsman stayed at the tree whole night and to keep himself awake, he plucked one leaf after another from the tree and threw it down. There was a Shiva Lingam under the tree and gracefully the tree turned out to be a bilva tree (leaves of this tree are adored by Shiva). Without any knowledge, the huntsman had delighted the deity by pouring Bilva leaves all night. With the arrival of the sun, the hunter looked down and found the tiger gone. In its place, Lord Shiva was standing and he prostate before the lord. With Shivas blessings, he attained salvation from the bondage of the material world.Different Names of ShivaLord Shiva is considered as the destroyer of the Universe as per the Hindu Mythology. Shiva is one of the most popular gods of the Hindus. Lord Shiva is a complex god like goddess Kali, being destroyer and restorer at the same time. Shiva is also known as Bhole Shankar, the innocent god, who gets appeased easily. Shiv Shambhu is also recognized as an ascetic, as he resides on Mount Kailash in meditation. God Shiv is worshipped usually in his phallic (Lingam) form. Special Worship of Shiva can be seen during the month of Saawan (July-August) of Hinduism. Lord Shiva is known by many different names.

Following are some of the Slokas from Bhagavad Gita with their meanings:"Cancalam Hi Manah Krsna Pramathi Balavaddrdham Tasyaham Nigraham Manye Vayoriva Suduskaram"This Sloka states that the Individual self is the traveler in the chariot of the material body and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument and the senses are the horses. Thus, the self is the enjoyer or sufferer in the relationship of the mind and senses."Balam Balavatam Caham KamaragavivarjitamDharmaviruddho Bhutesu Kamosmi Bharatarsabha"The Sloka says that God is detached and passionless strength of the dominant and the virtuous craving in men.Ye Caiva Sattvika Bhava Rajasastamasasca YeMatta Everti Tanviddhi Na Tvaham Tesu TemayThis Shloka tells that God is the only source of all good (satva), obsessive (rajas) and dark (tamas) elements still, they are not within the God nor the deity is within them."Tribhirgunamayairbhavairebhih Sarvamidam JagatMohitam Nabhijanati Mamebhyah Paramavyayam"This Sloka states that the whole world is engrossed in the three elements of Satva, Raja, and Tama .This is the reason, people dont recognize the Eternal God who is beyond them."Daivi Hyesa Gunamayi Mama Maya DuratyayaMameva Ye Prapadyante Mayametam Taranti Te"The Shloka states that the celestial maya of God with its threefold attributes is very complex. Yet, those who worship God are able to conquer it."Na Mam Duskrtino Mudhah Prapadyante Naradhamah Mayayapahrtajnana Asuram Bhavamasritah"This Shloka says that people who are attracted by maya of God lose their mind. They get fascinated by the baser impulses and stop worshipping God. These people are stupid and evil who dont even understand that all these things are part of the web created by the Almighty."Caturvidha Bhajante Mam Janah SukrtinorjunaArto Jijnasurartharthi Jnani Ca Bharatarsabha"This Sloka says that there are four kinds of good people who worship god, those who desire earthly gains, those who are suffering, those who seek knowledge and those who possess wisdom."Tesam Jnani Nityayukta Ekabhaktirvisisyate Priyo Hi Jnaninotyarthamaham Sa Ca Mama Priyah"This Shloka tells that out of the devotees, there are some wise people who want something in return and the people who dont expect any fruit in return of the worship. God loves the people who dont expect anything in return as their love towards the god is true."Udarah Sarva Evaite, Jnani Tvatmaiva Me MatamAsthitah Sa Hi Yuktatma Mamevanuttamam Gatim"This Sloka states that all those who worship God are commendable. But the outstanding devotees, who worship God with the single motive to merge in the God, are the true devotees who have achieved the highest aim of life.Early Morning SlokaEarly Morning is considered as the best time to worship God.
