Why Lord Shiva create expanding universe?

Why Lord Shiva create expanding universe? 

Why Lord Shiva create expanding universe? lord shiva rahashya
Lord Shiva create our universe but it is not a static.

Universe is dynamic. It is expanding means distance between two object increase because space between them expand.

Let's first see, how scientist know about expanding universe...

Introduction

Scientists confirmed, size of observable universe is 93 billion light year. But the question is how it is possible? Is there any error?

It may not possible. After research of year scientists prove, length of observable universe is nearly 93 billion light year.

If there is no such a big calculation mistake or error in experiments. So how this possible?

Speed of Light

Speed of Light is one of the fundamental in nearly all modern cosmological theories.

"Nothing move faster than speed of Light in space."

It is one of the fundamental law say, it is impossible to fast than speed of light. If something travel faster than light than it might go into past!

Einstein's Law of Relativity

What is the law of relativity?

It state, if you are in the rest condition than you measure speed of light as 299,792,458 m/s and if you measure while moving at some velocity than also this is exact same as that you measure in the rest condition.

When Einstein solve some equation then he know that speed of light 'c' appearing in those equation in naturally way .

How can we decide that what is rest condition? After many research and experiments Einstein know that this speed remain constant for all observer.

It leads to some illustrative condition but this is conformed by many experiments and astronaut is feel time shorter than in earth!

Discovery of Hubble

Hubble is one scientists that discovered redshift. When galaxy is too far they are going more far by each other and even whole universe is expanding. It is not because this objects move but because space is expanding.

If we apply relativity law on whole universe, it would be not stable. Either it is expanding or opposite happen.

Hubble discover this facts and after it is confirmed, space is expanding.

What is meaning of exapanding space ?

The age of our universe is approximately 13.8 billion year. By that distance when light is coming us from that source that we see light but from that time distance between this galaxy or star is increased because of expansion of space.

There is increased distance means what we see is too long than we may expecting.

Means when we see universe which we can see up to 93 billion light year of universe. But actually universe is 13.8 billion year old. Because of expansion of space it happen.

Why God Shiva make universe as expanding?

For creation of life, it is necessary to have gravity.

Four fundamental forces in which gravitational force and electromagnetic force act upon long distance.

Now, stars and planets have almost zero net charge. Means only force act is gravitation.

The problem with gravity is that if gravity is continually applying to all object then all things are come into one place and there is no such things as Earth, sun, moon exist. Because all object are come in one place.

But if universe is not stable and increase space between them, problem is solved. Gravity continuous works but object are not becoming one point because space between them is increase.

So, by making universe as expanding our life become possible and all forms of planets and stars are in space because of it.

It also the one proof of the big bang theory means times and space is not previously exist and it is created. It is created by Lord Shiva.

Lord Shiva create all world in a way which is as perfect as possible. They make all of us as part of creation.

We are here for a reason.

What is reason?

To surrender ourselves to Shiva and always worship them. Always live with pure devotion.

We are here in material world for some purpose and our purpose is to meet Lord Shiva.

When our soul goes into Mahadev, we fulfill purpose of life.

So, always chant name of Shiva with true devotion. They will make change in universe which effect on you in surprising way.

Why we give water and milk to Shivlingam?

Why we give water and milk to Shivlingam? 

Why we give water and milk to Shivlingam?
I am sure that you heard like:

"Isn't water and milk given to Shivlingam waste? You should give it to poor person."
"Pouring water in worship is only faith. There will nothing happens. All milk will be wasted in temple."

In fact, many people shows against Shivpuja. They says you should donates this money to poor people.

But there is reasons for giving water to Shivling.

To understand it let's first know the history of formation.


History


In Vidyeshwar Samhita of Shiva Puran, event behind appearance of Lingam is described.

A long time ago when universe has starting age, there is controversy between Vishnu and Brahma.

Both are about to fight but when they start, the big column of fire appears there.

Brahma and Vishnu are surprised by it and says; What is this? Why it appears here?

Both discuss to find the end of the big pillars.

Brahma go to upper side and Vishnu go to downside in Vaaraah Avatar. Vishnu go to downside for long time.

Time passed is one Kalpa means crores of years but still it seems to have no end. At last, Shri Vishnu understand that it have no end, this fire pillar have some purpose. So, Bhagwan Vishnu return to original place.

Brahma also find no upper end till crores of years but they think that it should have end and I find it.

At that time, they see flower Ketki fall there. Brahma ask him, Who are you? From where you come? How long it from you fall?

Ketki answer, I am on head of Lord Shiva but at that time ego come in myself. I think that how powerful I am that I am on head of Mahadev. But at this time, Mahadev nodded and I fall down. I fall from too long time but it seems to have no starting neither end.

Brahma want to prove him superior by finding end, so he ask Ketki to speak lie for him when he say Vishnu that he find the upper end.

Ketaki agree. Brahma with flower Ketki return and meet Madhusudan.

Vishnu speak truth as there is no end but Brahma lie, they also say Ketaki is witness. When ask to him, he lie.

At that moment, Lord Shiva appears and they take Bhairav Avatar to punish Brahma. Bhairav cut fifth head who lie. Lord Shiva punish Ketki to be witness with lie. They give boon to Vishnu who stay with truth of worshipped everywhere. Even Lord Shiva make Vishnu as God of them.

After Lord Shiva give knowledge to both and describe various forms of them.


Interpretation:


Pillar of fire is Shivling. Shivling is appear at time of creation of universe. When Big Bang happen, within short time space expands and energy released. As time pass, matters and particles are created. At that stage Lord Shiva may appear in Shivlingam form. The Shivlingam have too high amounts of energy, it is symbol which represents state of universe. Because in this state, it is hot having too much energy; To make it quite, we pour water on Shivling. By pouring milk and water, energy down. We symbollically give respect to Shiva by Pouring water on them.

As giving water to root of tree, whole tree will saturated and further no need for individual treating of leaf and branch; giving water to Mahadev will energized whole universe because it is fundamental.

There is other reason also.

Here is reason:

Shivling is for thousands of years in temple, made from stone.

For example, 12 Jyotirling which is at time of Satyayuga.

This Shivlingam may have effect of erosion because atmosphere have micro organisms and gases like oxygen which react.

Such effects is not there if poured milk and water on Shiva.


Benefits of pouring water and milk on Shivling


Effects are as follows:

  • Mind become spiritual and free from negative energy.
  • When water given to Shiva, whole atmosphere become holy.
  • As per Shiva Puran, By pouring water, We get Shivloka because Lord Shiva pleased on us.
  • God take care of us and they will make life of us such that happiness will increase day by day.
  • God will remove sins which done unknownly.
  • Son of Mahadev, Ganesha will please on you who decrease problems in life.
  • Pouring milk to Lord Shiva will increase devotion. At stage of pure devotion, Lord Shiva may want to give Darshana in the dream.
  • Lord Shiva, Bholenath is so kind that they give more than what you deserve. For example, Demons are get boons by Mahadev.
  • Offering water on Lingam make Lord Shiva happy. They are called as one who follow his devotee. By blessing of them, You feel effect, an undescribable miracles Everytime.
  • We improve our life when we do worship by water, milk, Good qualities developed in us.

Answer to some questions


"Why you pour valuable milk to Shivlingam?"

Why not?

Everything is given to us by God. Why we not give them?

In fact we didn't give them. We return them and Show respect to them. It is our duty.

A person may not understand that there is God. He may believe that there is stone. But there is God Shiva who stay there.


Also Why not question on other regions? Only Hindu become in question. In Diwali due to crackers, in Holi due to water. Is all pollution is due to Hindu festivals? Crores of rupees spend in to film, party and bad things. Is anyone question there?
  • A people who think to their own benefits may not spend money on God but God make Universe, planets and everything, this world run by God's wish. We are only dice, nothing is in our control.
  • People who think about material things can't understand spirituality. For example, a student who not even know basic mathematics have almost impossible to know about Calculus, Integration and Higher level mathematics. God is outer than physical dimensions; beyond energy, space and laws. A karma for God have such effects which is unexplainable to one who doesn't feel it.
  • Often people who argue to help poor instead of God, do nothing for them.
  • If some watch in theatres which cost much money, why shouldn't he give it to poor people? They spends lots of money in useless things or things which is for material enjoyment. Why shouldn't this is for poor?
  • Cows are like a mother of us. If we offer milk to Mahadev, more cows will grows because people take care of it.

Mysterious cases of Hindu temples that will shock you

Mysterious cases of Hindu temples that will shock you

Hindu history spread across the world

Historians say Hindu Temples did not exist during the Vedic period (1500-500 BC). The ritual of idol worship which became popular at the end of the Vedic age may have given rise to the concept of temples as a place of worship. The remains of the earliest temple structure were discovered in Afghanistan in 1951. However, the unearthing of Hindu temples all across the world is not just shocking but also surprising. Take a look at some such discoveries and wonder about the roots of Hinduism…

Was the Christian Vatican originally a Shiva temple?

All religions are one and are derived from Vedic Sanatana Dharma. Historian P.N. Oak claimed that the word Vatican originally came from the Sanskrit word "Vatika", that "Christianity" came from the Sanskrit words "Krishna-neeti", (the way of Krishna), and that "Abraham" came from the Sanskrit word "Brahma". He further claims that both Christianity and Islam originated as distortions of Vedic beliefs. Compare the two pictures and see a striking similarity between the shapes of a shiva linga and the vatican church compound.

Was the Christian Vatican originally a Shiva temple?

In these pictures take a look at the tripundra (three lines worn by Lord Shiva as tilak). The word 'Vatican' itself is derived from the Sanskrit word Vatika, which means Vedic cultural or religious centers, such as Yagna-Vatika. Such words and discoveries prove that the Vatican was a Hindu (Vedic) religious center before its incumbent was forced to accept Christianity from 1st century AD. Also, according to some reports, a Shiva linga was found during the excavation and is kept for display at a Museum in Rome.

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the only cave temple to have been constructed by man. Together with the 13th Jyotirlinga, the temple also houses the replicas of the other 12 Jyotirlingas.
