I was interviewed about temples designs, architecture and its capabilities for healing humanity. In that interview, I spoke about the experience with Arulmigu Mahadev Shiva's anklets.
Watch the shorts on YouTube and get a glimpse of who I am at my YouTube channel @yashfoundation.
The masculine energy I sensed was unmistakably the presence of Arulmigu Mahadev Shiva, and the mantra “AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA” that I was listening to is described in the Thirumanthiram by Siddhar Thirumoolar. Evidently, Shiva had arranged for me to be unable to open my eyes so that I could truly feel his presence and energy.
From Thirumoolar Thirumanthiram:
Letters A, U and M
By One Letter, A, He all worlds became;
By Two Letters (A and U), He the Two became--Siva and Sakti; By Three Letters (A, U and M), He the Light* became;
By Letter M was Maya ushered in.
Letters Three--Si Va Ya
Letters Si Va Ya are bliss perpetual; Letters Si and Ya are Jnana; Si-Va-Ya is unalloyed joy;
Not many know this,
They who realizes this in Joy
Will Him behold in Dance-Joyous (Ananda).
I Chanted Nama and Lord Appeared
And Lo! within the lotus of my heart, I beheld Him
And as I saw Him, I rose and met Him;
I then lost my sense of Self,
Betaking to gracious way of Lord Eternal; In endearment undiminished,
Do chant "Nama."
He Effected Union With Jiva
In the orderly way of numerals and letters The Lord created music and melody;
In His Glance, in His Thought, from within, He effected rapturous union of Jiva and Siva, Into one Family united.
He Knows All; But None Knows Him
He is Jiva's knowledge, He is the Ancient One, Yet none know how He is; In the universes eight all, He knows all,
-He the Nandi, Our Lord Primal.
He is Deathless
Water, earth, sky, fire and wind,
The spark of light within the body,
-All these He is;
He is Paraparam, He is Siva, Our Lord, He is the walking Jiva here below, Deathless He is.
Notes: Jnana is Knowledge. Jiva is Soul.
