Every form conceived in the shastras and scriptures has a deep significance. In the end, all Forms merge in the Formless. Shiva is the Principle of the destruction of all names and forms, of all entities and individuals. So, the Linga is the simplest sign of emergence and mergence. Shiva does not ride an animal called in human language, a bull. The bull symbolises stability standing on the four legs - Sathya, Dharma, Shanti and Prema (Truth, Right Conduct, Peace and Love). Shiva’s three eyes represent eyes that see your past, present and future. The elephant skin which forms His cloak represents the beastial primitive traits which His grace destroys. His four faces symbolise Equanimity (Shantam), Rage (Roudram), Grace (Mangalam) and Elevating Energy (Utsaham). Resolve, on this Holy Shivaratri, in the presence of Shiva Sai, to visualise Shiva as the inner power within you and in all.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
