Faith overcomes fear when Shiva is near!!

I will continue this post with its meaning and how it captures the fact that even simple faith is great and overcomes all kinds of fear. Om Namah Shivaaya. May Lord Shiva reveal its deep meaning to while you and I contemplate on it.......

I really love this Kannada song and dedicate it to Lord Shiva's Holy feet (Paadapadmam).

A poem...

BEYOND THE HORIZON

Beyond the horizon is the world that I seek

Beyond your understanding are the words that I speak
Of sages and saints, mystics and monks
Of bhajans and kirtans, mantras and harikathas

From this moment on my journey begins
Towards the land of enlightened beings
Away from these endless illusions and sins
Into the land of divine blessings

Where every home is like a temple
And every hour there is prayer
Where food is always divine
And there is never a cry of hunger

Where every woman is safe
And each child is innocent
Where every man is humble
And each soul is magnificent

This is where peace shall reign
This is where my light shall shine
This is where my soul shall sing
This shall bring such an awakening

Wonder if this blissful world does exist 
Well, I am still in search of it
It surely lies beyond the horizon
And the ancient peaks( Himalayas) are proof of it.
