Exploring the Symbolism of Lord Shiva

Suppose you do not know Lord Shiva. But today, I will try to tell you what Lord Shiva is.

What the Tripundra on his forehead

Who is this one standing before me?

There is cosmic dissolution in his matted locks,

Yet he is eternal and silent. These eyes, these arms, his lips gently

smiling, the meter of his speech… How can we describe it? In his stride, there is

that rhythm, and his chest is like a shield. His throat is dark, his body vast as Mount Meru.

When his damaru goes dam-dam-dam, as he sits upon the chāmar, from his matted locks

flows a single stream of water. It quickens its flow and cleaves through the mountains.

The brilliance of its radiance lights up Earth's nights. Even the moon

is but one of his ornaments. Who is this one with a trident in his hand?

The bearer of the serpent? Destruction lies in his three eyes, yet he is so silent.

Is.

Original transcript (Hindi)

मानो कि आप शिवजी को नहीं जानते। लेकिन शिवजी क्या है, बताने की आज कोशिश करूंगा। कि त्रिपुण्ड्रमल ललाट पर सम्मुख मेरे ये कौन है? जटाओं में प्रलय है, अनंत फिर भी मौन है। ये चक्षु, ये भुजाएं, होंठ मंद,

मुसकाए, छंद वाणी में जो उनकी, उनको कैसे हम सुनाएं। उनकी चाल में वो ताल और सीना जैसे ढाल। श्याम रंगी कंठ उनका, देह मेरु सम विशाल। डमरू डम डम डम बाजे जब वो चमर पे विराजें। जटाजूट में से निकले जिनके धारा एक नीर की। प्रवाह अपना तेज कर जो पर्वतों को चीरती। जिनकी चमक धमक से धरा की रातें रोशन है। वो चंद्रमा

भी उनका एक केवल आभूषण है। हाथ में त्रिशूल धरा यह शेषधारी कौन है? त्रिनेत्र में विनाश है, ये फिर भी कितने मौन है।
