PARAMASHIVASYA MAHASADASHIVAMURTEY PARAMAVATARE MAYABHAVATYAḤ SARVEBHYAḤ PARAMADVAITASYA ASHIHIDHIYAT. AS THE ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION OF PARAMASHIVA'S MAHASADASHIVAMURTI, I BLESS YOU ALL WITH PARAMADVAITA. OM. OM. OM.

LISTEN. PARAMASHIVA'S DIRECT MESSAGE FROM MAHAKAILASA. PARAMASATYAS ABOUT THE MAHASHIVARATRI.

As you were all listening from last few satsangs, PARAMASHIVA is revealing His PARAMASATYASWAROOPA - how He manifested, the PARAMASATYA - ultimate truth, He is mapping it to your ability to perceive and sharing it with you all. Now listen, PARAMASHIVA is eternal, ANAADI-NITANAḤ, He is ANAADI, without beginning, without end, eternal. BRAHMA and VISHNU manifest from Him. Everything manifests from Him. He is the source, ADI and ultimate. He is the source, He is the ADI, He is the ultimate, He is the supreme, He is the totality of all this and more. Some people try to limit Him to a being. Some people try to say He is beyond being. I tell you He is being beyond being and more. He assumes body just like that when He wants and plays the leelas, but even while He is manifesting with form, a body, He continues to remain in His AVYAKTA space, unmanifest.

Listen, these truths I am uttering you don't even need to cognize through your logical mind just listen. That is why in Sanskrit we have three language structure - ADIBHASHA, SHASTRABHASHA, BHASHA. ADIBHASHA you don't even need to understand, just listen. SHASTRABHASHA is, ADIBHASHA getting automatically mapped into your understanding is SHASTRABHASHA. BHASHA is ordinary language. You don't need to understand the ADIBHASHA. Now, the truths I am revealing is from ADIBHASHA level. And it will automatically settle down in you in SHASTRABHASHA level. Don't worry about the BHASHA level of understanding it.

LISTEN, ANAADI NITANAM SHIVAM PRATI BRAHMA VISHNUḤ ANVESHANAKATA ASMAAT PURAANESHU PRASIDDHAASTI EKATA BRAHMA VISHNUḤ CHA SVASYA SHRESHTATVAM PRATI VIVAADAM GURUVANTAU ASTAAM TATHA SHIVAḤ JYOTIRLINGA RUPENA PRAKATTIYA TAU UPAU SIVASYA SIRAḤ SARANAUCHA ANVESHTUM ADI SAT BRAHMA HAMSA RUPENA MURTVAM GATAVAAN VISHNU VARAAHA RUPENA ATAK GATAVAAN PARANTAU ANANTAM SIVASYA SVARUPAM NA PRAPTUḤ ESHA GATAA ASMAAN SIVASYA ANANTVAM NAMRATAAM SA SHIKSHAYATI.

Understand, BRAHMA and VISHNU searching the beginning and end of SHIVA, the PARAMASHIVA. This story is described in our Puranas in many places. Once BRAHMA and VISHNU were arguing about who was superior, then SHIVA appeared as the JYOTIRLINGA - pillar of light, and asked them to find His head and feet. BRAHMA in the form of a swan went upward, VISHNU as a boar went downward. However, neither could find the limits of SHIVA's infinite form. This story teaches us about SHIVA's infiniteness and importance of humility.

Listen, we need to understand this story much deeper. First, I wanted to explain that VISHNU you see in KESHAVARTHAMURTI is the PARANDHAMA directly PARAMASHIVA's manifestation. That VISHNU is different, and this VISHNU who went in search of SHIVA's feet is different. This VISHNU is the VISHNU who takes the DASAAVATAARAS and worships PARAMASHIVA. If I give you the deeper understandings the PARAMASATYAS then you will be able to understand fully. See who is VISHNU - the Lord of LAKSHMI - wealth. Who is BRAHMA - Lord of SARASWATI - knowledge. Through this story, PARAMASHIVA reveals to the world, neither just knowledge, nor just wealth, can reach Him. Neither just knowledge, nor just wealth, can reach Him.

SHIVAḤ ANANTAḤ APARICHINNAḤ SARVAVYABHIJAASTI BRAHMA VISHNUḤ CHA SRISHTEḤ VALANASYA CHA ADIPADIHI STAḤ PARAMASHIVASYA ANANTVAM NANYATUM SHAKTAḤ ESHAGATA ASMAN SIKSHAYATI YAT ISHWARAḤ SARVESHAAM UDDEHE ADHIDAHA ASTIHI ASMAT AHANKARAM-TYATTVA TASYA ANANTASYA SARANAM GANDAVYAM SHIVA EVAḤ PARAMBRAMHA SA EVA ANTYAḤ CHA ASTI.

Shiva is infinite, boundless omnipresent. BRAHMA and VISHNU are the Lords of creation and preservation, yet they can't comprehend SHIVA's infiniteness. Listen, through this story you should understand just through the wealth or through the knowledge you can't reach PARAMASHIVA. Then how to reach? When VISHNU could not reach the feet He surrenders and says - PARAMASHIVA I am not able to reach Your feet, I surrender to You please You reveal. Then PARAMASHIVA gives oneness to VISHNU, the VISHNU becomes one with PARAMASHIVA that is what is KESHAVARTHAMURTI. PARAMASHIVA accepts VISHNU as part of Him gives Him oneness and VISHNU becomes PARANDHAMA merging into PARAMASHIVA.

Listen, it is by the ultimate surrender, PARAMASHIVA is achieved, neither by intellect, nor by wealth. A multi-layer meaning is in this story. Going up is RAJAS, going down is TAMAS, both cannot get you to PARAMASHIVA, both cannot get you the JEEVAN MUKTI, surrendering only will get you PARAMASHIVA. Going up is AHANKARA, going down is MAMAKARA, neither the guilt, nor trying to declare supremacy, both cannot get you PARAMASHIVA, only surrender gets you PARAMASHIVA.

BRAHMA SIRAḤ SAMISHCHAN VAI PRAYAYAU URDHVAMARGATḤ VISHNUḤ PAADAM SAMISHCHAN VAI PRAYAYAU ADHAU MARGATḤ.

BRAHMA desiring to find the head of SHIVA travelled upward; VISHNU desiring to find the feet travelled downward; yet neither could find the limits of SHIVA's form.

Actually, if you read the original Puranas, the whole description looks very very funny. BRAHMA takes the swan form and flies, and BRAHMA realizes His, the BRAHMA, BRAHMA's age is ending. So, if He continues further His very age will be over, the BRAHMA YUGA will be done. So, it is time that He is going to face the PRALAYA. So, understand, at one point He realizes His travel is futile, so He has to do something. He tries to see a flower falling from SHIVA's ears, and He catches that flower and asks - 'You are from where', the flower said, 'I am fallen from SHIVA's ears I am coming down'. He asked, 'What is the distance can you tell me, because I am travelling to find SHIVA's head.' The flower said, 'I am falling for four BRAHMA YUGA, four BRAHMA's age I am falling'. BRAHMA was shocked because He has only one age, but this flower says it is falling for four BRAHMA's age. He understood He can never reach SHIVA's head. But unfortunately, He tries to play a game that He asks that flower you be a witness when I claim to SHIVA that I saw the head of the SHIVA. And that flower agrees. And they both come and try to tell a lie. And that flower also gives a false witness to SHIVA. And SHIVA laughs at them, not only He rejects, and BRAHMA is exposed, and that flower also was cursed never to be part of the SHIVA PUJA. Then BRAHMA surrenders and worships. Then PARAMASHIVA blesses the BRAHMA and gives a place, exemption from the curse. BRAHMA was cursed that He will not have a temple anywhere He will not be worshipped. Because BRAHMA surrendered and apologised to PARAMASHIVA, He said alright at least you will be, you will have place in My temples, all My temples and you will be worshipped during My PUJA. So even now in all SHIVA temples you will see BRAHMA is one of the PARIVARA DEVATAS, in the first PRAKARAM. And that flower was cursed never to be used again in SHIVA PUJA, then that flower begs and apologises, then SHIVA gives exemption - on SHIVARATRI day alone for the PUJA it will be accepted, never in any other SHIVA PUJA day. So, this is the story.

A devotee is putting a question, 'BHAGAWAN, what is meant by NARAYANA, or ADI NARAYANA, NARAYANA as ADI DEVAN and SHIVA as ADI GURU'. Listen, don't confuse the description of NARAYANA in VAISHNAVA AGAMAS, and the description of NARAYANA here in SHIVA PURANA, these two are completely different. So, I am talking from SHIVA PURANA, just listen from this context, that's all. Don't confuse that and this. So, the word VISHNU here, and BRAHMA here, the meaning is as described in this Purana that's all. So, this is one of the incidents which happened in cosmos is documented and the deeper truths. So, understand that and what is being conveyed through this incident receive that, and get that experience of PARAMASHIVA, which is the result intended for you to achieve through this incident. You see, this incident was taught with the intention of you achieving PARAMADVAITA. So, let's focus on that. The ultimate truth you need to realize from this incident is SHIVA, PARAMASHIVA is beyond everything, even the creator cannot comprehend, so how can the creation try to comprehend. You can only experience PARAMADVAITA with Him. You can't try to measure Him or grasp Him through your intellect.

BRAHMA VISHNUḤ CHA SHAMBOḤ CHA ROOPAM DRISHTVA VISHWAMITA UPAV ANANTAMITIMATVA CHA PRANAYA MADHU PUNAḤ PUNAḤ.

BRAHMA and VISHNU upon seeing the form of SHAMBU were filled with wonder realizing it was infinite. They bowed to Him again and again.

Try to hold that PARAMJYOTI, without beginning or without end, the more you try to focus more you see its expansiveness. Neither you can zoom out, nor you can zoom in, to see, or to find its end. Listen, zooming out or zooming in, telescopic or microscopic, both vision cannot comprehend Him, because He is the source from which seeing is happening. OM, OM, listen. Listen intensely. Listen carefully. BRAHMA is telescopic, VISHNU is microscopic. Whether you go in the microscopic level, or in the telescopic level, you can't find the ultimate PARAMASHIVA, because He is the source and light from which, through which, vision is happening, the seeing is happening. Cognize this. Now, instead of focusing on what is seen look at who is seeing. Now, instead of focusing on what is seen look at who is seeing.

ANTAM NAADHIKATAM VISHNUR BRAHMAA CHAAPYAKRADOGAMAT SHIVASYA PARAMAM RUPAM GOVEDA PARAMESTHINAḤ. ANTAM NAADHIKATAM VISHNUR BRAHMAA CHAAPYAKRADOGAMAT SHIVASYA PARAMAM RUPAM GOVEDA PARAMESTHINAḤ.

VISHNU could not find the end of SHIVA's form, and BRAHMA could not reach the top. Who can truly understand the supreme form of Lord SHIVA, the greatest of all?

ESHAGATA ASMAAN SIKSHAYATI YAT ISHVARAḤ SARVESHAAM BUDDHE ATITA-HASTI ASMAAT AHANKAARAM YAKTVA TASYA ANANTASYA SARANAM GANDHAVYAM SHIVAYEVA-PARAMBRAHMA SAYEVA ANTYAḤ CHA ASTI.

So, through this story, you should understand, only by the deep surrender, you can achieve PARAMATVAITA - oneness with PARAMASHIVA, the ultimate PARAMUKTI, JEEVAN MUKTI. This whole story can be understood in multi layers. What we try to do during our journey for PARAMADVAITA, how we can be guided to achieve PARAMADVAITA. As I said, neither through telescopic, nor through microscopic, you reach PARAMASHIVA, because He is the source from which the seeing is happening. Seeing, seer, both merge in Him. Seeing, seer, the action seeing, all the three merge in Him - the source from which the seeing is happening. Just see in you, what is it that sees and cognizes, what is it that sees and cognizes, what is the source of seeing and cognizing. Look deep within, look deep within. Now is the time sit straight take the ATMA LINGA in your hand, decide to see the source from which seeing is happening. Who in you is actually seeing, hold that. Who in you is actually perceiving, hold that. Who in you is actually the source of seeing, perceiving, experiencing, everything, go to that. Sit straight close your eyes. See the source of who is seeing. Deeply seek, the source of we seeing, who is seeking, who is it, who is perceiving, seeking, seeing, in you. OM. OM. OM. I bless you all, you will all be established in PARAMAADVAITA, you will be established in the source of life, PARAMASHIVA. I will continue the further satsang on PARAMASATYAS of MAHASHIVARATRI.
