SALUTATION SHAIVITE




Let Shiva, who has taken the form of my individual being, offer salutation to his Universal Being Shiva, through media, which is also Shiva, for the removal of obstacles which are, indeed, one with Shiva.









Spiritual works mostly begin with salutations to God. Generally speaking, these salutations are offered in the first person e.g., "I offer salutations to God, and pray that all obstacles may be removed so that I may attain my real nature. " In Kashmir Shaivism, the manner of salutaion is not only different but also unique in that here the one who offers homage to Shiva is none other than Shiva, nor are the obstacles (for the removal of which the prayer is offered) other than Shiva; and, even the media, through which homage is offered, is one with Shiva. Thus, the prayer would be (as given above) :



"The purpose of this salutation (as given above) is, namely, to unite the individual being with the Universal Being."Shri Swami Lakshman Joo (Malini: April 1995)
