TheLittleNaruto

TheLittleNaruto

So that you both can discuss further

Please consider deleting your comment which has personal info.

souparno majumder

I like how you are putting effort to fix this site, answering questions and all, but people seem to be less and less interested in the details of hinnduism :/

I deleted that

TheLittleNaruto

Q: Symbol on Shiva linga

lThere’s a triangle similar symbol on most of shiva Lingam’s. What does the symbol represent. Can anyone explain please?

vedas shiva shiva-lingam

TheLittleNaruto

@souparnomajumder May be I should rephrase; I am not mentally prepared for that.

souparno majumder

ok, i get that

TheLittleNaruto

Acharya says, Tantra is like a fire, one must be mentally prepared to jump into that.

Which all texts you have read already?

Also if you're online from computer, you can check the chatroom website we created recently. It's there in room info at the right top.

souparno majumder

I completely agree with that statement, it's not a fire to keep one warm, rather one jumps into it

do you know what kapalini is?

TheLittleNaruto

No, I don't.

souparno majumder

6:46 PM

how much have you read/finished the shiva sutra?

TheLittleNaruto

I finished it. I am reading Spandakarika these days.

Do you want me to share one verse from that?

> न हीच्छानोदनस्यायं प्रेरकत्वेन वर्तते।
अपि त्वात्मबलस्पर्शात्पुरुषस्तत्समो भवेत् ॥८॥

> Na hicchânodanasyayam prerakstvena vartate Api tvatmabalasparsat puruşastatsamo bhavet//8.

"The empirical individual cannot drive the goad of desire. Bet by coming in contact with the power of the Self, he becomes equal to that principle."

Spandakarika Section I Verse 8

But*

7:04 PM

saying that it is excellent or wonderful will be dishonest, i guess, all i can say is that, it is the truth.

you really read a lot

have you read raja yoga?

TheLittleNaruto

No! But I think our one of the moderator @Pandya has read that.

You didn't tell which all text you read? @souparnomajumder

souparno majumder

I was maily reading the sankhya, the advaita vedanta, and the raja yoga

the yoga kundalini upanishad

and patanjali yoga sutra

from the tantrik texts: bigyan bhairava tantra, the mahanirvan tantra and the tantra sara by kishnanda agambagis

TheLittleNaruto

Oh you already read VijyanBharava Tantra

Nice

Are you interested in Tantrik mArga?

Because I see you posting questions related to that.

souparno majumder

yes, after a through research on myself, I am definite thats the fire i want to dive into.

TheLittleNaruto

If you are interested to explore questions on Tantra on HSE, You might want to check Rickross's answers

He has great knowledge

souparno majumder

7:19 PM

I appriciate that a lot

if you are interested in tantra, which person you find interesting

?

TheLittleNaruto

person? as in Acharya from ancient time?

souparno majumder

it could be any one?

not al great men were acharyas

TheLittleNaruto

I really am impressed by Acharya Utpaladeva and his devotional work for Lord Shiva

He is from the lineage of Kashmiri Shaivism

souparno majumder

hmm, you are a shaiva i see

i understood that you are interested in shaivasm the moment you mentioned shiva sutra

TheLittleNaruto

:)

Who is your ishta?

souparno majumder

7:24 PM

give it a guss

*guess

TheLittleNaruto

Devi kAli ?

souparno majumder

What can i say, nothing i am able to perceive is beyond her

TheLittleNaruto

I have got one beautiful picture of mother kAli.

souparno majumder

post it

TheLittleNaruto

user image

souparno majumder

7:29 PM

love that, she really looks beautiful

TheLittleNaruto

Indeed :)

souparno majumder

but this is probably not kali, her forehead marking, this is probably a female form of shiva

TheLittleNaruto

This is fan made painting of devi kAli

So he may have missed her attributes

Check this beautiful hymn written by Acharya Shree Utpaladeva:

> स्वेच्छयैव भगवन्निजमार्गे
कारितः पदमहं प्रभुणैव ।
तत्कथं जनवदेव चरामि
त्वत्पदोचितमवैमि न किंचित्॥

> "I have never told You to put me on the roadside, on the path of Your abode, Your spiritual abode. I never told You . I never asked You to carry me on the path of Yours. You have done it Yourself! You have put me on the path and now You are refusing to appear."

> "If I have been kept and carried on the path of Thine, why do I act like ordinary, worldly people? Why don’t I sink in that glamour of Thine glory, filled with consciousness and all bliss?"

souparno majumder

thank you for sharing these beautiful compositions, i am overwhelmed

here is a poem on kaii by vivekananda
