Deep inside the cave of the heart
there is a flame.

It is a flame of Love.
A flame of Peace.
A flame of Truth.
The flame of Shiva.

Truly, Lord Shiva is Shambho,
the Giver of Bliss.
He resides within,
always there,
waiting for us to pour our Love and Devotion
to the purest and most accepting place of all –
the Soul.

And in return,
He gives us Everything.

Shiva is our innermost essence,
He is the Wish Fulfilling Tree,
and on Shivaratri
we got to come a little closer to Him –
to sip from the cup of his Nectar
and remember the bliss
of a life lived with God…
the unspeakable beauty
the most wonderful fulfillment
the most…wonderful.
The mystery of love and mantra and
Infinite Consciousness.
The Great Mystery.

What a joy to share the very special night
of Maha Shivaratri
with such a beautiful congregation
of seekers and devotees.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing with us,
For offering your Love and Mantras into the fire,
For singing and for dancing,
and most of all,
for directing your hearts and minds toward Mahadeva,
the Great God.
