An eventful day in my life!

Today was a very eventful day in my life. Incidentally I went to Giri Trading Company to buy some goods. When I came out and walked near the Kapaleeswarar temple, I prayed to the Lord to bless me with His Darshan some time in the near future when it felt to me like "Today is the day". I prostrated to the Lord and walked inside the temple. When I reached the Lord's presence, I was asked to sit near the inner sanctum sanctorum. I silently sat there in His presence and was grateful for Him allowing me near Him! Great is God, unseen are His acts of Grace. Fortunate are His servants and lovers!

Is Dakshinamurthi Buddha!

Sri Dakshinamurthi is Lord Shiva and an epitome of Mauna. His Upadesa is Mauna. An Upanishad named Sri Dakshinamurthi Upanishad is dedicated to the Lord. This occurs in the Krishna Yajur Veda. Some people say that Dakshinamurthi is the Buddha. God is everything that is glorious, in that way we can say this. But Sri Dakshinamurthi is Shiva Himself. And there is Vedic treatise that emphasises His excellence. So don't believe it when someone says He is not a Hindu God. Of course neither Him nor the Buddha would care for such things... themselves being immersed in Silent Bliss!
