Vish (poison) and Shiva are in the Vishva (world). We hold the Vish and we suffer. If we hold Shiva and have Vishvas (faith).
What is actually the Milan of Shiva and Parvati, the Bhavam and Bhavani? Does it indicate their marriage? What is Triveni? Let’s see.
Anatomically, the eye-brow center is the location of the pineal gland in the frontal lobe. It is the third eye, placed in the vertical plane to the normal binocular eyes. The pineal gland secretes endorphins and enkephalins in appropriate amounts in optimistic people. In pessimistic ones, the secretions are scarce. But, the ones who proceed in the path of spirituality repeat the name of the Lord, things change.
There are two left and right channels in our body, Ida and Pingala, corresponding to the left and right nostrils. Normally, we breathe from one of the nostrils for a few minutes, then from the other nostril. But, when we fix our mind on the soul, we breathe from both the nostrils.
Great power rests at the tip of the tailbone, coiled into three-and-a-half turns, called Kundalini. When we practice, the energy rises from the Mooladhaar and reaches the eyebrow center, Ajna Chakra or Guru Netra or Shiva Netra, and then blossoms at the Sahasrara Chakra. The Ajna is the Triveni. When the breath flows in the central canal of the spinal cord, the Sushumna, and reaches the Sahasrara, we become the Sadhya, Mrityunjaya, the one who conquers his death. This is the state of Yogi, the Paramhamsa.
Taking a dip in Allahabad’s Triveni is useless, but we must yearn to take a dip in the divine confluence at Ajna. It is said, Jitne Path Hain Utne Mat Hain. All people have their kind of personal relationship with the Lord, but all relation-ships reach the same destination.
