Shiva Tattva
A spiritual discourse on cosmic cycles, human suffering, and the path to liberation.
"Every Yuga I come, I manifest, or I come through my Yogamāyā."
"Kali Yuga keval nām ādhāra... repeat your Mantra, repeat your Mantra to cross the ocean of this ignorance."
The speaker explains the cyclical process of creation (Sṛṣṭi) and dissolution, describing the appearances of Viṣṇu and Śiva across different Yugas. He emphasizes that repeating the divine name is the primary hope in the current Kali Yuga. The discourse outlines the inherent sufferings of human life, from birth to old age, framing existence as a form of Tapasyā (austerity) meant to ultimately merge the individual soul (Jīva) with the supreme consciousness (Śiva). The talk concludes with a call for disciplined practice and an announcement for the next meditation session.
