Spirituality - An Experience to Savour

Spirituality is an experience to savour; if you start asking ‘how’ and ‘when’, you will be mystified.

The penance performed by the spirit within Siva Shankar, has qualified the mortal body-temple to serve as an Abode to more evolved Spirits — it was the seat of the Sage Bhoga, it enshrined Muruga, the Lord of Palani. Just like a hybrid — two different mango saplings are nurtured as one organic entity to yield a new variety of mango. Siva Shankar’s spirit hosted Siva. Raghavendra’s spirit, hailing from the Vaishnavite Madhwa cult hosted Narayana. These two aspects have merged into a new manifestation. That is why I am different — because I am hybrid!

Adi Sankara replies to the question, ‘Who is God?’, He who contains the spirit of Sankara and Narayana’. Vishnu in Raghavendra merges with Siva in SivaShankar and evolves into Sankara Narayana. That is the power of this spirit.

Despite all our intellect, intelligence; whatever has to happen will definitely happen. With all your faith in God, you will still undergo the shadow of karma.
