#Thread on SHIVA,

अजं शाश्वतं कारणं कारणानां
शिवं केवलं भासकं भासकानाम् .
तुरीयं तमःपारमाद्यन्तहीनं
प्रपद्ये परं पावनं द्वैतहीनम् ..!!

The one who is beyond birth,
The One who is permanent, the one who is cause of the causes,

@LostTemple7
The One who illuminates the whole Universe, The one beyond the three states, without beginning and end,
Destoryer of ignorance and struggle, the one beyond all duality,
I offer my obesiance to Him, the most pure.
