fractal of consciousness

Refelctions from the Koothambalam Siva Ratri Puja
Denver Yoga Shala - February, 24th 2006



as is the human body, so is the cosmic body
as is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind
as is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm

Oooo my!....what a truly glorious day- so many tears shed as we floated over, under, around and thru the tidal waves of satyam-sivam-sundaram (truth-beauty-consciousness). After the camphor flames subsided (yipe!), the pouring of the milk and honey onto the lingam was ...well... i'm not ready to cage that moment into words but! cracking the coconuts (or the "openuts" and "crackenuts" as they were being referred to) on the intersecting roads outside the shala was a moment of exquisite tandava (Siva's dance of destruction into bliss).
It brought us into the RIGHT HERE -- RIGHT NOW
as the shocking slap of Siva's foot touched the earth.



Puja truly does open the heart, infuse the spirit and honor all of existence. Stay tuned, there's more to come as the undertow of Siva's grace will without a doubt continue to toss us about.
My guess is that we've only just begun.

siva siva siva shambo sharanam
hara hara hara mahadeva

siva shambo
siva shambo
siva shambo sharanam

Happy Birthday Sonjasi!
