O’ PARVATI, on this day as WE merge yet again,
I proclaim my undying love to YOU,
To the sacred Earth that is YOUR heartbeat,
To the multiverse that is YOUR dynamism,
And to the Lifetimes YOU took the many rebirths…
I waited patiently to reunite with YOU, O’ SATI
107 lifetimes of which, the 108th,
YOU became immortal in the pyre of YOUR father’s yagna,
In that pyre, YOU completed MY 108 garland of love,
That I carry with ME in memory of MY devotion to YOU,
O’ GAURI, I am Known as KAPALI,
For I reverently wear YOUR garland of skulls as the emblem of the every birth YOU took to be with ME…
O’ MAHESHWARI,
MY companion, devotion and strength,
YOU complete ME,
Each time WE parted,
I awaited YOUR every birth for this reunion,
OUR marriage,
The MAHASHIVARATHRI,
Celebrated by all who love US as SHIVA-SHAKTI,
The merging of the LASYA and the TANDAV,
The POWER that fuels the DESTRUCTION of What is redundant, egotistical and irrelevant,
To initiate faith, awakening and a promise that WE will always appear TOGETHER,
As ARDHANARESHWAR,
The DUAL yet, the NON-DUAL,
Powerhouse of devotion and dedication to all who proclaim their love for US – TADASTU!
O’KALI, this day is MY proclamation of that same devotion and dedication that I am YOURS till eternity…
SUBH MAHASHIVARATHRI 2023!
