About this listen

The very essence, origin point and sacrament to living spirit in the universe is considered the Milky Way, of which our galaxy is named after. This, Milky Way is collection of thousands & thousands of stars collected together almost as a path through the sky. We see it, at least in the northern hemisphere as an archway or white threaded sheet wrapping the sky holding it together. The path of spirit, so to speak, of all stars. The Brahmins called this the ‘Janeyu’, the sacred thread. At some point, billions of years ago, the milky way entered what became our galaxy. Upon the star of the rock, Keph, or Alphirk the Beta Cepheus, this living receptacle the starry universe descended. And a waterfall of stars descended upon a rock. Water and Fire, fused into awakening, and our galaxy took shape. To the Indian mind, this is the Shiva-Linga, the basilisk-phallic symbol of Water falling upon it to make holy. Cepheus, the constellation of the old king is known to the Indians as Sheffali, an epithet of Shiva. An Indian holy book, Kali-Purana says in the beginning, there was only darkness. Mahamaya existed in the inert state as Yoga-nidra, the sleeping universe. And then with this, waterfall of fire, the universe awakened in our galaxy. Shiva, as a god-head is said to represent the entire universe as our galaxy’s context of spirit. The pure crystal heart of knowledge of the one beyond the worlds. Both feminine and masculine energies are his Shiva-Shakti form as the phenomenon and the awareness. While the Kalika Purana starts its stories from 8 degrees after Aries point, which is the beginning of the Zodiac, we attempt to trace the steps a little further back. From evolution of form even before language began to form.
