Maha Shivaratri

26th February, 2025

Sri Ramakrishna on Shiva:

A man freed from bondage is Shiva; entangled in bondage, he Jiva.
One day, while worshipping Shiva, I was about to offer a bel-leaf on the head of the image, when it was revealed to me that this Virat, this Universe, itself is Shiva. After that my worship of Shiva through the image came to an end.
Shiva has two states of mind. First, the state of samādhi, when He is transfixed in the Great Yoga. He is then Ātmārāma, satisfied in the Self. Second, the state when He descends from samādhi and keeps a trace of ego. Then He dances about, chanting, ‘Rāma, Rāma!’

Sri Ramakrishna Tithi Puja

01st March, 2025

"Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through that you will realize him."
"God looks at the working of one’s mind. He does not take into account what in particular a person is doing or where he is lying. The lord recognize the motive alone."
"You should remember that the heart of the devotee is the abode of God. He dwells, no doubt, in all beings, but He especially manifests Himself in the heart of the devotee. The heart of devotee is the ‘drawing room’ of God."
