NAGA SADHUS MAHASHIVRATRI AND KUMBH

The curiosity about the NAGHA SADHUS is there among the whole world. The people from the other religions feel surprised and even some of them goes up to the extent of saying it as uncivilized. But the HINDU sees it as the extreme of the self discipline, sacrifice, tolerance and dedication. It is not easy to live in a nude stage when all others are wearing very attractive cloths. It is not easy to stay nude in such places of harsh winter and summer. It is not easy to control over your sexual excitements, it is not easy to give up all the facilities of the life and stay alone in the hills, caves or ASHRAMS. Though in today’s society we called them as nude but in fact if we see carefully then it can be understand that the nature has not sent us nude and our skin is the cloth which is provided to us as the cloths to cover over body. The center of the skin or the GANTH of the skin is the NABHI. So the NAGHA SADHUS shows that they have no interest in the physical luxuries of the world and like their GOD LORD SHIV they feel that all the luxuries are meaning less and the real luxury is spiritual growth and the real peace is spiritual peace.

They generally stay in the caves of the GIRNAR PARVAT in GUJRAT and came out on MAHASHIV RATRI. On the MAHA SHIVRATRI they came out in the processions and go to the SHIV MANDIR and offered their prayers to LORD SHIV as they follow the path of YOGH and SADHNA told by LORD SHIV to achieve HIM. After the MAHA SHIVRATRI they all went back to the caves in the hill and not seen again in the open till the next MAHASHIVRATRI. Though for the rest of the year the tourist keeps on visiting these hills but they very rarely find any NAGHA SADHUS there in the out. So the NAGHA SADHUS represents the importance of the will power in the HINDU religion.

SHIV & SHIVA ROOP OF THIS UNIVERSE


The life is present in the SHIV AND SHIVA form only. Every male represents the LORD SHIV and every female represents the DEVI SHIVA or the SHAKTI (power). In the beginning of the life the LORD SAMBH SADHA SHIV divided HIM into LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA OR PRASHAKTI. With the inspiration of LORD SADHA SHIV the LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA OR SHAKTI meet together and give rise to the PRASHAKTI of LORD SHIV. When the LORD SHIV WHO is SHAKTIMAN (owner of the power) activate HIS PRASHAKATI or power then that created the NAAD (sound) from there BINDU (point) came into existence from there the LORD SHIV become visible and from HIM the MAHESHWAR came out and from MAHESHWAR the GODDESS of KNOWELDGE – VIDYA came out. The VIDYA gave rise to the different AKSHAR (digits) and VARANS (in HINDI means some special digits having the voices).and MATRAS (these are used on the top or the back of the digits or words for creating a special sound effect) and is called the VAGAESHWARI or GODDESS of voice.



The complete Universe has JADH (non living things) and CHETAN (life) objects. When the non living things combined with the life and then it becomes APAR (impure) or the living (CHETAN) object. These living objects are found every where in the Universe and are known as CHIDCHIT SWROOP. In this the JADH is impure and CHETAN is pure and are also called the APAR and PAR and LORD SHIV is the owner of both of these and is away from both of these.. In the beginning of the life the LORD SHIV uses HIS powers of ICHAA (desire), KRIYA (action) and GYAN (knowledge). When the LORD SHIV decided with HIS ICHAA SHAKTI or desire that this should happen and this should not happen or we can say that HE differentiates between the RIGHT AND WRONG. Then HE by using the knowledge decided the KARY (work to be done), KARAN (who will do it), KARAN (reason for doing that work by that KARN), and PARYOJAN (purpose solved). With HIS imagine and using HIS power with in seconds the SRISHTI (universe) is created and every living or non living things have their role and duties pre decided in this Universe. Every non living object is known as the SHAR and the life in this is called the ASHAR and the LORD SHIV is the owner of both of these. What ever which can be described is called the VYAKAT and certain things which can not be described but can be felt are called the AVAKT form and LORD SHIV is owner of the both but the later is superior then the previous. The bodies are allotted to the soul according to their birth in the previous KALP.



The power can be seen in lakhs of forms in the UNIVERSE. But in the beginning the PRASHAKTI (nature) gave rise to MOOL PRAKARATI (basic objects needed), MAYA (confusions or attractions towards the physical things) and TRIGUNATAMAK SHAKTI. The MOOL PRAKRATI gives rise to the present form of the nature and MAYA covered that with the KAAL (time), NIYATI (fate), KALA (art of living) and VIDHYA (knowledge). It also gives rise to the TRIGUNATMAK SHAKTI means the three types of GUNS (QUALITIES) named as SATVIK, RAJSI and TAMSI. These further give rise to the TRIGUNESH MURTIES. These TRIGUNATMAK MURTIES give rise to MAHAT (importance or self identification) which creates million of UND (egg) and PIND (jeans) which give rise to living objects in this UNIVERSE. LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA control the VISHAW (world) that is why THEY are called the ISHWAR or VISHVESHAWAR. Also since LORD SHIV and DEVI SHIVA or SHAKTI can not be imagined separately and always exist together that is why the world is also called as SHEV and SHAKT form.



The LORD SAMBH SADHA SHIV is the whole sole owner of this universe that is why HE is seen in various ROOPS (forms). Some people see HIM as APAR BRAHMA. APAR means the FIVE MAHA BHOOT (already explained), INDERIYA (already explained), ANTHAKARAN (already explained), JADH PRAKRITI (articles without life) are called the APAR BRAHMA. Some people saw HIM as PAR BRAHM ROOP in CHETANY ROOP (live form). Some see HIM in VYAKAT (describe able) form some see HIM as AVYAKAT (undescribe able) form. Some see HIM as SAMAYSHTI-VYASHTI ROOP means the AVYAKAT is SAMASHTI and the VYAKAT is VYASHTI and HE is the owner of the both. Some see HIM as SHAR means the JADH and ASHAR means the JEEV ATMA and HE is the owner of the both, so, HE is SHARASHAR ROOP. Some see HIM as the VIDHYAVIDHYA ROOP where the VIDHYA means the knowledge and the AVIDHYA means ignorance and HE is the owner of the both. Some see HIM as SAKAR (with certain shape) and some as NIRAKAR (without any shape).



Actually the LORD SHIV has never take birth from any father and mother. HE has no beginning, middle or the end. HE does not hate any body and is not effected with the MAYA or KARAM PHAL. HE need not follow any body’s instructions and it is only HE who decides what is right and what is wrong. HE has not to explain any thing to any one. When every thing got destroyed in this Universe then only HE remains here and all the energies of the universe get merged into HIM. Then again in the beginning of the Universe the GOD BRAHMA is created by HIM and only GOD BRAHMA made this Universe at the order of the LORD SAMBH SADHASHIV. So like that the different scholars see HIM in the different ROOPS (form or shape). The story of ELEPAHANT fits here in which few blinds who were asked to narrate the shape of the ELEPHANT and they described the different shapes as per they their experience.
