#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Remember that the normal husband wife theory doesn't apply here because the relationship between Matter and Wave, consciousness and energy is what is depicted by Shiva and Shakti. If you want to understand the depth of it you will have to go beyond the physical relationship of human beings built by society. It's a divine cosmic play that can be seen only when a drop decides that he is a part of the ocean and not separate as some drop. The story is of the time of the churning of the Ocean. Goddess Lakshmi had disappeared from Earth due to a curse and had gone into the ocean. To bring her back, both Devas and Asura used a huge mountain and Vasuki snake to churn the ocean. They also wanted to get Nectar which would make them immortal. Here see how it looks.
Lord Vishnu in order to give a stable base to the mountain took Avatar of a tortoise and held the mountain on his back. Now the task began. One by one amazing things started coming out and Devas and Asuras kept dividing them among themselves. Then trouble began, the most dangerous poison of the universe called Halahal appeared! Nobody had a clue on what to do, the whole world started getting decaying. Both parties prayed to Shiva to save them. Shiva took the bowl of poison and drank it up! However since it was very strong, it started effecting Shiva too!
Shiva is inert Matter, pure consciousness pure bliss: the absolute! However when negative energy from whole Universe starts attacking it, it can start creating imbalance if not kept stable. So Shiva kept it concentrated in his throat and got the name of Neelkanth Mahadev (blue throat one). It started hurting him too much although and he needed extra energy: he was Pure Consciousness, he needed Shakti! Then the Primordial force of the World: Energy in its purest form, Devi took the form of a Blue complexioned Goddess called Tara. She made Shiva drink her milk thus removing the pain due to Halahal. She is second among the 10 Mahavidyas. No she is not called Parvati, but called Tara. If you want to feel her Aura, go to the Tarapeeth temple in West Bengal, She is much present there if you have devotion. It's said that nobody returned empty handed from her doors…
When Imbalance occurs in nature, Supreme Energy: Prakriti herself comes to fix it. That's what Maa Tara stands for. If devotion is true, he is all yours, so easy that can be worshipped in form of stone. He do not need recipes from you, you can offer hum any thing to him, he will be happy with you. Second thing, when i listen the glory of other gods, people say, you have to be the servant of god, you need to fear him this and that. I strictly hate using word servant, why I would be servant of god, I am his part I am his child, I am not servant and why I would fear him, if god is making me afraid then he is not god at all.

When it comes to our lord shiva, he never use the word servant, he gave the philosophy of Shivoham means you are shiva, just like river is part of ocean in the same way, we all are part of lord shiva, he never says you are my servant. Many of people say, shiva gets angry, they are most idiot brains who says shiva gets angry, those poor souls never experienced him, they just listened distorted stories about lord shiva, lord shiva is ocean of love and compassion, these are just false rumours, so yes, I do not fear him an inch, he is my protector and I know even if I have committed deadliest mistake, he will be the first one to forgive me, lord shiva never says you need to afraid of me
Third thing, he never leave you hand, even if you stop worshipping him, he is going to take care of you, his hand on your head is always there, but the path to reach him is not easy, there are many tests of your faith, you own karmas effects your devotion and your mind tries its best to keep you away from him, he will help you in best possible manner to reach him but at the end, its you who will walk this path, he only can guide you. We need to focus on lord shiva, we have to live in lord shiva to achieve him
Right now, we are ordinary souls, we need to detach ourselves from world means “ we have to act like, we own nothing, we are just an observer, we have to chant Siva's name constantly,whatever we are doing our consciousness should be in shiva not in world” What will happen then? By constant chant, we will become shiva gana ( follower of shiva). We need to live in shiva to get a sight of shiva, we need to do something which majority of Hindus don't do, his constant remembrance, “his name should be the food of your soul, he should be your first priority and he should be your solo focus”.
You need to increase intensity of your devotion to meet lord shiva and how it can be increased? Chant Om Namah Shivay as much as you can. Meditate meditate and meditate. Chant om loudly. Nothing increase our intensity faster than music, so listen songs of him. Do regular worship without any miss. Visit his ancient temples if you can like Kedarnath, mani mahesh Parvat, Pashupatinath and there are hundreds of temples in India as shiva is most ancient deity historically.
Devotion is all about intensity of your emotions. The day, your intensity of devotion will touch the threshold, Lord Shiva will manifest himself in the form you dreamed about him, shiva is omnipresent as consciousness ( ???? ???? ???? ?? means every particle is shiva). Remember Markandeya, whom shiva saved from death (Maha Mrityunjaya mantra), yes you need that level of intensity. Om Namah Shivay
