Salutations to Shiva Salutations to Guru Shiva is the Guru Guru is Shiva
Friends, in a beautiful country called Nishadha, in a family of Kshatriyas, a son named Veersen who was Mahasen was born and who was very dear to Shiva. Veersen performed severe penance for 12 years while worshiping Lord Shiva. Then Shiva became pleased and told the same grown up king that he was making a fish out of wood, applying Ranga paste on it and enriching it with Yogamaya and giving it to him. Taking it, he should immediately sail towards that hole while sitting in the boat. Then reaching there enter the hole made by him and worship Nageshwar and get Pashupatastra from him and destroy these major demons like Daruki etc. Shiva again said, “With the effect of my darshan aka visualisation, you will not face any kind of shortage. By that time, Parvati’s boon will also be completed, due to which the other Maleccha-form aka dirty form people there will also become virtuous. Then Shiva disappeared.” In this way Lord Nageshwar Dev, in the form of Linga, the lord of lights, was born. He is the one who always fulfills all the wishes of the three worlds.
Scientific analysis of the above myth
The word Nishadha is derived from the word prohibition. That country where there is prohibition of ugly or ignorant sexual conduct, prohibition of violation of Vedas, prohibition of indecency, prohibition of indolence, prohibition of misdeeds etc. Every man is the king of his body form country. Mahasen literally meaning great army means one with a huge army. Meaning, he is a well-known, famous and respected person in the world or his society, who has a crowd of people following him. Veersen means the man in that army of the world, who bravely faces problems and does not retreat from the Vedic path of humanity. He was also proficient in meditation. This means that he was deeply in love with someone. Love can be with Shiva, any other god, guru, girlfriend or anyone. That is why he is called a devotee of Shiva because Shiva is a symbol of meditation and love. There are 12 chakras in the body. On those chakras he meditated on Kundalini or Shiva form. If the sadhana of one chakra is considered to be for one year, then there are 12 chakras in 12 years. Man keeps developing like this since birth. For some years after birth man remains in the darkness of ignorance of Muladhara Chakra. Then when adolescence comes, due to hormonal changes, he comes to Swadhisthana Chakra. Due to increase in strength and increase in love during youth, he comes to Manipur Chakra and Anahata Chakra respectively. By developing expertise in love and worldly affairs, he also becomes adept in conversation and negotiations. It can be said that his consciousness reaches the level of Vishuddhi Chakra. Then to get employment or success in business he has to use his intelligence a lot. With that he comes to Ajna Chakra. By becoming proficient in his professional matters, he becomes certain about his earning, and so getting some worldly relief he starts trying for his liberation through the practice of spirituality etc. Due to this his consciousness comes into Sahasrara Chakra. Actually, if a man gets the right environment, he can awaken his Kundalini at just the age of 17-18 years. But in this story we are talking about Satyayug aka truth age, hence 12 years have been written. At that time, child marriage was probably prevalent, which would have taken place till the age of 12-13 years. That is why marriage is considered to be the stage of Sahasrar awakening, because through this, Sahasrar gets direct and tremendous power from Muladhar. This is also clear from the entire story, in which after the completion of twelve years of sadhana, he is asked to put the fish in a hole. By thinking a little deeply, its meaning becomes clear on its own. Shiva has created the body of all of us and also of King Veersen. Meaning, Shiva himself has created all the body parts, which also includes the fish-shaped genitalia. Science also believes that wooden fish means wood is also a biological substance like flesh, and both are components of living beings. The hormonal system in the body and the stimulation generated by it which causes stiffness in it, all this is also a system created by God Shiva. Ranga is called tin metal. It is moderately hard, not as much as iron, and not as little as loose flesh or wood. Similarly, the sexual cavity in the body is also created by Shiva. As far as the fish enters the hole, the hole should be considered finished there. The boat is left behind. A fish with Maya means it has divine sexual sensibility, which can fascinate anyone. Probably that is the crest of the organ, the rest of the part has been called boat. Now the place where the hole ends should be considered as the floor of the pit just as described in case of Mooladhar. It falls at almost the same place between the two organs, where the location of Muladhar Chakra has been mentioned in the yoga scriptures. To me, this seems to be the real muladhara, because this is it provides energy. The rest of the details seem symbolic or close to it, not real. There is no dark pit outside where the position of the Muladhara Chakra point is shown. The dark pit is inside in its line. However, as the plexuses of intense genital sensations are located inside, some of their effects are also felt externally. Well, meditating on Nageshwar Linga in that hole means meditating the meditation picture of Nageshwar Shiva on the Linga. This is a tantric practice of the highest order called Meditation at Tip. The term naga aka serpent also indicates the perineum and its associated structures. Because all these structures have been built by Lord Shiva for his attainment, hence one of his names is Nageshwar. By worshiping Shiva there, one will get Pashupat weapon, which means one will get the power to uncover the demonic thoughts buried in the pit of subconscious mind. Due to this, the main demons like Daruk etc. will be destroyed, meaning the main thoughts of the intellect and mind will come out and merge into the real void soul. These are the main obstacles in awakening. Countless other small thoughts continue to dissolve even after awakening, throughout life. Darshan of Shiva means means awakening after which there is no shortage of anything. The people of the world also have cyclic pattern of behaviour like the ages. After the environment like Kaliyug, they create an environment like Satyayug. They all are also present in the brain forest of the meditating man as everything is inside by default. With the help of their good deeds, it becomes easier to kill the demons. Means it becomes easier if such favorable conditions continue to prevail. Reading this story, it does not seem at all that the sages did not experience sexual pleasure, as is often seen in common belief. On the contrary, it seems that only after being completely fulfilled in the householder state, they were able to write all this for the good of the world in the later ascetic states like Vanaprastha and Sannyasa.
