Entities Of Shiva Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Shiva Siddhartha is not an offshoot
Of Vedanta but an entity
Different in their metaphysics
And preexists to Aryan's Vedanta.

Proto Shiva in the pasupathi seal
Found from Mohenjo daro excavation,
A civilization of five thousand year old,
Stands as a testimony to its era.

Pasu-Pathi-Pasam, which will translate
To Soul-God-Bondage is the principle.
To reach God, the Soul must rip the Bondage:
The mala of Anava, Karma and Maya.

Anava, the egoism or individuality,
Karma the actions that have consequences,
And Maya, the delusion, are impurities
That bind souls from reaching the Almighty.

Soul is many unlike one in Vedanta.
Maya is not illusion as in Vedanta.
The Supreme and the souls are distinct
Unlike Vedanta that sees them as one.

Shiva is Mahakaal: Controller of Time;
Shiva is Rudra: God of Wild beasts;
Shiva is Yogeshwara: the Supreme.
The three eternal entities of God.
