Neelkanth ....

I have been reading the Meluha Trilogy by Amish and it tells us of the story of How Shiva became Neelkanth which is very different from the way origin of Neelkanth is described in the Hindu Mythology ...  In part one , there is a speech from Shiva which ends with Supreme Lord is there in Each and Every person.

So today while I was thinking about two of my friends A & B who had a slight disagreement and since I was the common friend A came to me and said some unholy words about B . Next day B comes , talks about the incident. I just nod my head and he proceeds to say some unholy words about A . Even though I had my own opinions about the incident , i decided to keep my thoughts as well as their thoughts to myself. So A and B continued their non-talking business for some 1-2 days and then forgot completely about the incidence and their disagreement and all their fights . All was hunky dory .. All the poison because of their disagreement was buried safely below my tongue in my Kanth .. My kanth didn't become blue and no amrut came out of this effort but this simple act did result in a never-ending friendship which illuminated (and is still illuminating )not only my life but also lives of lot of people who became part of our little universe...

So Neelkanth not only holds the physical poison which can destroy the entire world but also the poisonous thoughts which can result in destruction of the smaller universe made by each and every person for his family & friends  ... Each and every person is a God in himself having the power to create and destroy universe.

Har Har Mahadaev !!!
