As Absolute Reality, \u015aiva is un\u00admanifest, un\u00adchanging and tran\u00adscendent, the Self God, timeless, form\u00adless and spaceless. As Pure Consciousness, \u015aiva is the mani\u00adfest primal substance, pure love and light flowing through all form, existing everywhere in time and space as infinite intelligence and power. As Primal Soul, \u015aiva is the five-fold manifestation: Brahm\u0101, the cre\u00adator; Vish\u00ad\u1e47u, the preserver; Rudra, the de\u00ads\u00adtroy\u00ader; Mahe\u015b\u00adva\u00adra, the veiling Lord, and Sad\u0101\u015biva, the revealer. He is our personal Lord, source of all three worlds. Our divine Father-Moth\u00ader protects, nur\u00adtures and guides us, veiling Truth as we evolve, revealing it when we are mature enough to re\u00adceive God\u2019s boun\u00adtiful grace. God \u015aiva is all and in all, great be\u00adyond our conception, a sa\u00adcred mys\u00ad\u00adtery that can be known in direct communion. Yea, when \u015aiva is known, all is known. The Vedas state: \u201cThat part of Him which is characterized by tamas is called Rudra. That part of Him which belongs to rajas is Brahm\u0101. That part of Him which belongs to sattva is Vish\u1e47u.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of Our God \u015aiva? \u015aLOKA 16God \u015aiva is all and in all, one without a second, the Supreme Being and only Absolute Reality.
