Dhanvantari Diety of Healing

Dhanvantari is a revered deity in the Vedic tradition and Hinduism, known as the God of Ayurveda and the divine physician. He is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, emerging from the churning of the ocean of milk (Samudra Manthan), holding the pot of amrita (the nectar of immortality). His appearance is symbolic of health, healing, and longevity.

Dhanvantari is often depicted with four hands, carrying a pot of amrita, a leech, a conch shell, and a discus (chakra), symbolizing his association with medicine, healing, and divine powers.

He is worshipped as the patron of medicine and health, and practitioners of Ayurveda revere him as their guiding deity. His blessings are invoked for physical and spiritual well-being, and his birthday is celebrated as Dhanteras, a day during the festival of Diwali dedicated to health and prosperity.

In essence, Dhanvantari represents the divine connection between spirituality, medicine, and the preservation of life.

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan at Kona Interfaith Concert 2023

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan by Sakshi Zion & friends at last years (2023) annual Interfaith Concert at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona, Hawaii.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

The mantra Govinda Jaya Jaya translates to “Govinda (another name for Krishna), glory, glory.” It celebrates the divine qualities of Lord Krishna, often revered as the embodiment of love, compassion, and joy. This mantra is a cornerstone of Kirtan, a devotional practice originating in the Bhakti Yoga tradition, which seeks to connect with the divine through collective singing.

Similarly, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra—“Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare”—is a profound invocation of divine energy, calling upon Krishna and Rama as aspects of the supreme consciousness. Both mantras are imbued with spiritual power, as their vibrations are said to awaken the soul’s innate connection with the divine, purify the heart, and instill bliss and tranquility in the practitioner.

In Kirtan, these mantras create a communal spiritual resonance, uplifting participants into a shared state of devotion and transcendence.

Lord Shiva instructs his Sadhu Disciples

In the mist-clad peaks of Mount Kailash, the abode of divinity where silence speaks volumes, there sat Lord Shiva, the ascetic god of destruction and regeneration. His presence was as serene as the moonlit Himalayas, yet as intense as the fire that burns within the core of the earth. Surrounding him were his devoted sadhus, seekers of the ultimate truth, each one an embodiment of renunciation.

These ascetics, with ash smeared across their foreheads and bodies, signifying their continual death to the world of form, had gathered to absorb not the words, but the wisdom that emanated from the very being of Shiva. They were an assorted congregation; some young with fiery eyes fueled by the vigor of spiritual quests, others, old, with eyes deep as the cosmic sky, reflecting eons of contemplation.

Shiva, the great Yogi, sat in tranquil stillness, his eyes half-closed in a state between the manifest world and the unmanifest void. His trishula, the trident, stood beside him, symbolizing control over the physical, mental, and spiritual worlds. The crescent moon adorned his matted locks, and the mighty Ganga flowed from his hair, cascading down into the realms of man, a testament to his power to harness and release the torrents of cosmic energy.

As the sun began its descent, casting a golden cloak over the snow, Shiva opened his eyes, and in them, the universe seemed to dance. He spoke not through words but through the very essence of silence. His teachings were not of the scriptures but of existence. He taught the sadhus about the impermanence of the physical universe and the permanence of the self. He revealed to them the dance of creation and destruction, inherent in the flow of time, where every end was a prelude to a beginning.

He spoke of the beauty of detachment, how like the lotus, one must live in the world yet not be of it. His every gesture was a teaching, every pause a lesson in patience, every glance an initiation into the depths of consciousness.

As dusk turned to night, and the stars began to mirror the sparks of their meditative fires, the sadhus sat in profound meditation, absorbing the vibrations of Shiva’s presence. They realized that the ultimate teaching was not something to be grasped, but something to be lived. It was in the very act of living in harmony with the cosmos, in recognizing the oneness of all existence.

In the great silence of the Himalayas, under the watchful gaze of their eternal teacher, the sadhus found their truths. And Shiva, the Adiyogi, continued to sit in repose, his stillness an eternal testament to the wisdom beyond worlds. The cycle of night and day passed, seasons changed, but the quest of the sadhus remained — a quest quenched only by the profound waters of self-realization, a thirst for which they had forsaken all worldly desires.

And thus, the story of Lord Shiva and his disciples continues, in the hearts of those who seek, in the silence of the sages, and in the very air of Mount Kailash, where every breath whispers tales of liberation.

Shiva’s Love Transforms Village

In the mystical realm of ancient India, Lord Shiva, the powerful and enigmatic deity, resided atop the sacred Mount Kailash. His matted hair held the flowing Ganges River, while his third eye radiated an all-seeing wisdom that pierced through the veils of reality.

One day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow upon the land, Lord Shiva decided to visit the mortal world in disguise. He transformed himself into an old sage and descended to a bustling village.

In the village, the people were facing a dire drought, and their crops withered under the scorching sun. The villagers gathered around the old sage, seeking his guidance. With compassion in his eyes, Lord Shiva gently touched the parched earth. Miraculously, water began to bubble forth from the ground, quenching the land’s thirst.

The villagers were overjoyed and thanked the sage for his miraculous intervention. They insisted he stay, offering him food and shelter. Lord Shiva humbly accepted their hospitality and dwelled among them, imparting his wisdom and teaching them the ways of harmony and balance.

As time passed, the villagers learned the value of compassion, kindness, and unity. They started treating one another with respect, nurturing the land and its creatures. Crops flourished, and the village prospered.

One evening, as the villagers gathered around the sage to listen to his teachings, a young girl named Parvati approached. There was an air of innocence and curiosity about her. Lord Shiva noticed her keen interest in the lessons and smiled warmly.

Over the days that followed, Parvati continued to attend the sage’s teachings, and a deep bond formed between her and Lord Shiva. Unbeknownst to the villagers, Parvati was an incarnation of the divine goddess herself.

Impressed by her devotion and wisdom, Lord Shiva revealed his true form to Parvati, and their love blossomed. Their union symbolized the intertwining of the masculine and feminine energies, and their divine dance created a cosmic balance that brought harmony to the universe.

As years went by, Lord Shiva’s time among the villagers came to an end, and he returned to Mount Kailash with Parvati by his side. The village, now a thriving community, continued to live by the teachings they had learned from the sage.

And so, the legend of Lord Shiva’s visit to the mortal world lived on, a tale of compassion, transformation, and the enduring power of love that forever shaped the destiny of the village and the hearts of its people.

Radha’s Devotion Unveiled

In the realms of divine love, a story unfolds,
Of Radha, the soul aflame, whose tale is told.
Within the sacred pages of Gopi Gita’s book,
Resides a melody of devotion that few could overlook.

Radha, the embodiment of unconditional love,
A celestial beauty, blessed from heavens above.
Her heart, a reservoir of emotions untamed,
In Vrindavan, her love for Krishna was proclaimed.

She danced through the groves with grace untold,
In her eyes, a reflection of devotion, pure gold.
Her every movement a celestial symphony,
A dance of love, a divine epitome.

The Gopi Gita sings of Radha’s love so deep,
In every verse, her devotion weaves and seeps.
Her longing for Krishna, an eternal flame,
In every breath, she whispered his name.

“Krishna, the enchanting soul of my being,
Without you, life’s colors lose their gleaming.
In every season, every flower that blooms,
I yearn for your presence, amidst joyful tunes.”

In Radha’s heart, the love blossomed pure,
An eternal bond that nothing could obscure.
She surrendered her being, mind, and soul,
To the divine embrace that made her whole.

The Gopi Gita paints a portrait divine,
Of Radha, the beloved, with love as her shrine.
Her devotion an ocean, boundless and wide,
In her love for Krishna, she found her true guide.

Oh Radha, the epitome of devotion’s might,
Your love for Krishna, an eternal light.
In the Gopi Gita, your story finds its place,
A testament to love’s divine grace.

May your love inspire hearts throughout the ages,
A flame that burns through life’s countless stages.
In Radha’s love, let us find our own way,
To surrender, to love, and to forever sway.

The Esoteric Meaning of the name Krishna

Krishna, a name rich in cultural and spiritual significance, holds a secret esoteric meaning that unveils the depth of its symbolism. Derived from Sanskrit, Krishna is a divine name that embodies a multifaceted understanding, transcending mere linguistic representation.

At its core, Krishna signifies the embodiment of divine love, joy, and consciousness. It is a profound representation of the divine, the ultimate reality, and the primordial cosmic energy. Krishna is considered an avatar, a divine incarnation, of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism, and is revered as a deity who embodies both human and divine qualities.

Delving deeper into its esoteric meaning, Krishna can be deciphered as the personification of supreme consciousness and the epitome of spiritual evolution. The name Krishna signifies the boundless, eternal nature of the universe and the individual soul’s journey towards self-realization and enlightenment.

Krishna is often depicted as a dark-skinned, charming deity with a mesmerizing smile, playing a flute, surrounded by devotees, and engaging in divine play or lila. This playful aspect of Krishna represents the harmonious interplay between the divine and the mortal realms, symbolizing the dance of creation and the interconnectedness of all beings.

Furthermore, Krishna is renowned for his teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture. In this text, he imparts profound wisdom, guiding individuals on the path of righteousness, selfless action, and spiritual realization. The name Krishna thus embodies the essence of divine wisdom, leading seekers towards enlightenment and liberation.

In essence, the secret esoteric meaning of Krishna’s name encompasses divine love, cosmic consciousness, spiritual evolution, and the interplay of the divine and mortal realms. It serves as a reminder of the eternal journey of the soul towards self-realization, offering profound guidance and wisdom to those who seek it.

Shiva Linga & Yoni

The Shiva Linga and Yoni are ancient and revered symbols in Hinduism, carrying profound esoteric and spiritual significance. They represent the divine union of Shiva, the masculine principle, and Shakti, the feminine principle, embodying the cosmic forces of creation and dissolution.

The Shiva Linga, often depicted as a cylindrical or elliptical stone structure, is symbolic of Lord Shiva, the supreme consciousness and the eternal aspect of the divine. It is considered a representation of the unmanifest, formless nature of Shiva. The shape of the Linga is said to represent the cosmic pillar, or axis mundi, connecting the earthly realm with the spiritual realm. It is a symbol of transcendence, reminding devotees of the infinite and timeless nature of the divine.

The Yoni, on the other hand, represents the cosmic womb and the creative power of Shakti, the divine feminine energy. It is often depicted as a circular or triangular base upon which the Shiva Linga stands. The Yoni signifies the primordial source of all existence and fertility, the origin of life itself. It represents the dynamic aspect of creation, nurturing, and sustenance.

The union of the Shiva Linga and Yoni represents the harmonious balance and interdependence of the masculine and feminine energies in the universe. It symbolizes the inseparable unity of Shiva and Shakti, representing the divine union of opposites, consciousness and energy, stillness and movement. This sacred union is believed to give rise to the entire cosmos and all of creation.

Esoterically, the Shiva Linga and Yoni also hold deeper metaphysical meanings. The Linga signifies the concentrated and focused spiritual energy within every individual, often referred to as the inner flame or the divine spark. The Yoni, in turn, represents the receptive aspect of our being, the vessel through which we receive and assimilate divine grace and wisdom.

The worship of the Shiva Linga and Yoni is a way for devotees to connect with the divine energies within themselves and in the universe. It is a practice that seeks to transcend duality and realize the oneness of all existence. Through devotion, meditation, and rituals associated with these symbols, followers of Hinduism seek spiritual growth, self-realization, and union with the divine.
