Tucked into a tiny fold at the foot of mountains which vault, thick with forest, into Himalayan skies, is Triyuginarayan. Here, the temple custodian informs us, Shiva married Parvati. The same Shiva who manifested when Brahma and Vishnu were slugging it out to affirm their primacy over the universe? From a translation of the Shiva Purana, by Ramesh Menon:
Very well written - I actually did not know of the existence of Triyuginarayan - tell a young girl in our building said that is where she is going to be married on April 16 th
So well written. I am going to sincerely work on Swallowing the automated response of the ego…. something that takes every bit of effort but is well worth it.

Thanks, Chetna.
A gorgeous piece of writing! Very inspiring. Thank you!
Wow, this is sublime "but dance we must, to part a few veils in our lifetime. And in that dance, find joy." You made my day, thanks Mo.
You made mine, in turn, with your gracious comment.
Beautiful Sir. Thank you!!
sometimes I think the lyrics of Behind Blue Eyes (_The Who_) is based on the story of Shiva drinking Halaahala.
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
*And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat*
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Never thought of that.

that makes total sense, given the next song in the album!
though i'm now wondering how Baba O'Riley fits in there!
