Shiva Ardhanarishvara
by Gregorian Bivolaru
The wise man Brinji was one of the fervent worshippers of Shiva. But he used to worship only Shiva, deliberately neglecting to worship Shakti. Through his spiritual practice, Brinji was focused exclusively on transcending the existential aspects and this is why he believed it was correct to worship only Shiva, in his mind separating Shiva from His manifesting feminine energy, Shakti. In reality, Shiva was not separated from Her and he is never separated from Her. Once upon a time, the Gods and the wise men went and stayed around Shiva and his lover Parvati, in order to remain there, full of veneration and adoration. |

Inspiring thoughts regarding the Spiritual Guide - Aspirant relationship
By yoga professor Nicolae Catrina The essence of the relationship between the Spiritual Guide and the aspirant can never be known only from the outside, because in fact it can never be an object of knowledge for those who are not ready to identify with that ineffable, mysterious state experienced by an aspirant on the spiritual path.
