Maha Shivaratri satsang
Yoga is union with the divine through unwavering devotion.
Shiva embodies liberation, formless and all-pervasive. He is the root of the sacred syllable Om. He transcends the three states and the three gunas. He is the substratum of the cosmos. His throat is stained blue by the world's poison. The crescent moon adorns his matted locks. His rhythm sustains and dissolves creation. His third eye incinerates desire and ignorance. He is the refuge of all realms. Devotional surrender grants lasting peace. Chanting his names purifies the mind. The mind absorbed in his lotus feet finds rest. He is the inner self hidden in all beings. Rituals are outer symbols of inner worship. Constant remembrance is the highest yoga.
