Mahesh Navami Quotes:

In Tantric tradition, Shiva and Shakti or Purusha and Prakriti represent the two fundamental forces that sustain the universe; all that exists is an interplay of these forces.

The seeds of divinity live in everyone. Chanting of Om Namah Shivaya mantra is the art of sprouting that divinity.

The logic is simple: if you do the right things, the right things will happen to you even without your intent.

I listened mesmerized, visualizing the goddess with her divine mate, wondering if it was possible for humans to replicate this perfect relationship.

Creation and Destruction are attached. If something dies, another thing takes birth and everything between the creation and destruction is your journey of life.
