Śrī Śiva-sahasranāmam 16—Śiva's Effulgence
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 2023-06-07

Namaste 🙏 So this śloka of Śiva-sahasranāmam really emphasizes Śiva's effulgence. In the last śloka too, there were several names that reference His glow, His effulgence, His presence, which is palpably felt as an increase in consciousness, awareness and realization, insight. So what is the nature, then, of Śiva's effulgence? Well first of all he's Ajāta-śatru, one whose enemy was never born. Śiva is existence itself. So how can anyone call Him enemy? We're all very attached to our existence, aren't we? I mean, to the point where living beings actively resist injury and death. So in that case we see existence itself as our friend, not as our enemy.
