| Posted: 08 Apr 2012 01:34 AM PDT Om Sai Ram ! Om Namaha Shivaya! If for some reason you are not able to see the below pictures or You wish to have access to all the previous Shirdi Sai speaks mails - go to http://debu7370.blogspot.com/ .And if any of you would like to receive these messages directly to your mailbox everyday-- For everything else related to Shri Shirdi Saibaba - Click Here  Since about more than a month we all have been graced with the blissful darshan of the sacred shivlings around the world. But all this seems a little incomplete to me without the knowledge of the holy Shiv Puran. So how about we all start reading this sacred book together..And hopefully before I head to Kailash- we all will be blessed with the wonderful stories which are related to our creator. However, " The Shiva Purana has twenty-four thousand shlokas which are divided into six samhitas or sections." But I will not be posting any of the shlokas in these mails. I will be posting the most simplest version of the Shiv Puran with the blissful pictures of various temples as we go along- , so that it is easily understood by all of us and can also be shared with our children and grandchildren.May Lord Shiva bless us all in this journey of going one step closer to His Lotus feet . And last but not the least, My Humble Pranams to this Holy book along with all the Gods and Godesses .. Sai bhakt, Deepa H Now, Lets start reading this very sacred Shiv Puran by Saying Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha Incase You have missed the previous mail /chapter of Shiv Puran - Here is the link  Brahma meditated for twelve years. When the twelve years were over, the four-armed Vishnu appeared before Brahma. In the four hands Vishnu held a shankha (conch shell), a chakra (a bladed discus), a gada (mace) and a padma. Brahma didn't know who this person was and he asked, Who are you? Vishnu didn't directly answer the question. Instead, he replied, Son, the great Lord Vishnu has created you. Who are you to call me a son? demanded Brahma. Can't you recognize me? came the reply. I am Vishnu. It is from my body that you have been created. But Brahma was not convinced. He began to fight with Vishnu. Story of the Linga  While they were thus engaged in fighting, a shining linga (Shiva's image) arrived on the scene. It seemed to have no beginning or end.. Vishnu said, Brahma, let us stop fighting. There is a third being here now. What on earth is this linga? And where did it come from? Let us try and find out what this is. You adopt the form of a swan (hamsa) and go up. I shall adopt the form of boar (varaha) and go down. Let us try and find the extremities of this linga.  Brahma agreed. He became a whilte swan and flew up. Vishnu became a white boar and went down. They looked for four thousand years, but could not find the end of the linga. So they returned to where they had started off from and began to pray. They prayed for a hundred years. After the hundred years were over, the sound of om was heard and a being with five faces and ten arms appeared before them. This was Mahadeva or Shiva. Vishnu said, It is good that Brahma and I have been fighting. It is because of our fight that you arrived.  Shiva replied, We are all three parts of the same entity and have been divided into three. Brahma is the creator. Vishnu is the preserver and I am the destroyer. There is another being named Rudra who will be born form my body, but Rudra and I are really one and the same. Let Brahma create now. Shiva disappeared and Brahma and Vishnu gave up their forms of a swan and a boar. [Will continue tomorrow with the stories of the Sacred Shiv Puran]  Recently, I have come across this NGO , named SAI SAWALI which is actually a small grp of Sai devotees based out of Rohini in Delhi, India.  Besides organising Blood donation camps and taking care of the education and living expenses of the Blind children- they have also adopted a few poor artist who could not afford to buy a brush , paint or a canvas. They have basically made it possible for such artist to show their talent and make a decent living. They provide these artist with all that is needed to paint Baba's paintings and then sell them at a very minimal cost which is affordable to the general public who wish to buy Baba's paintings for their homes or place of worship.
