Lord Shiva as the Supreme God is said to be engaged in five tasks associated with the creations. The pancha Kriyas or the five acts are

Srishti_ creating,

Sthiti_ preserving,

Samhara _ destructing

Tirodhana _ concealing
 
Anugraha _ blessing.

The five syllables of the Shiva Panchakshari mantra correspond to these five divine acts of the Supreme Shiva. ‘Om’ or Pranava mantra and ‘Namashivaya’ are said to be one and the same. While the Pranava is the crux of the divine acts, the Shiva Panchakshari mantra expounds these divine acts further. The Pranava Mantra is like the husk of the paddy while the Shiva Panchakshari mantra is like the rice inside.

Shiva consciousness is beyond time and boundry

There was a time when balance in the cosmos broke.
The Devas ( positive ) energy were weakened. Their energy faded. The Asuras( giant ) energy grew in strength. Conflicts rose. Dharma trembled.

The only way to restore harmony was to retrieve the immortal the nectar of immortality, hidden deep within the Kṣīra Sāgara, the Ocean of Milk. But to bring it out, the ocean had to be ready for twist movement

Both Devas and Asuras agreed to churn the ocean together. Mandara Mountain became the churning rod.
Vāsuki, the great serpent of Mahādeva, was the rope.
The mountain began to sink So Viṣṇu took the form of a giant tortoise (Kurma) to support it from beneath.
Thus began the divine Samudra Manthan — the twist movement (manthan)  of the Cosmic Ocean.

Many diamonds (wondrous)  things emerged:

1. Kamadhenu,
2. Airāvata,
3. Kaustubha,
4. celestial Apsarās…

Movement of somthing unexpected : Hālāhala Visha.

But before the nectar could rise From the depths of the twist movement of ocean emerged something unexpected.  A dense, bluish-black vapor arose called Hālāhala Viṣa (Halahal vish). It spread in all directions.
Its very presence began to shake the elements.
The air darkened. The ocean trembled. Neither the Devas nor the Asuras could bear its touch.
Even Agni, the god of fire, stepped back. The sages, Devas, and ṛṣis gathered and said: “There is only One who can hold this The Mahāyogī, the Ever-Compassionate  Śiva.”

Silence is Medicine

Śiva, with infinite calm, took the entire Hālāhala Viṣa in His palms and in an act of sheer compassion… He drank it. But He did not swallow. With supreme control over His own being, He held the poison in His throat  between creation and destruction. His throat turned a deep, radiant blue. From that moment onward, the sages called Him:

1. Nīlkaṇṭha — The Blue-Throated One

2. The Lord who holds back destruction

3. The One who saves by containing, not by resisting

He absorbed the chaos and remained unmoved.
But this act was not His alone. As the fire of the poison raged in His throat, maa Pārvatī Devī  His consort, His Shakti. placed Her hand gently on His neck,
preventing the poison from descending into His body.
Shakti and Śiva stood as One Stillness and Compassion united in perfect harmony.The world was saved. Balance was restored.


The eternal teaching:

True divinity does not seek reward.
True power lies in absorbing the world’s pain in silence.
Not to destroy, but to protect. That is the glory of aadiyogi shiv . This is a mirror held up to your own journey.

1. The twist movement in ocean – your mind

2. The dark poison – your ego, pain, and hidden fears

3. Śiva – your inner Self

4. Shakti – your discriminating power, your inner devotion

when you churn your being when you face the inner poison with awareness. Can you reach the nectar of immortality-   real I .

Shiva soul: Anaahat chakras

Blessed are the rare devotees who worship the Chidanandalahari (divine consciousness/bliss) that eternally dwells in the heart chakra (Anahata).
The Anahata Chakra (heart lotus) is uniquely blessed, positioned in the center of our spiritual anatomy. It lies between two crucial points: the Mooladhara (root chakra) below and the Sahasrara (crown chakra) above, where the moon continuously bathes the energy channels with divine nectar.

This heart center is especially sacred because:

1. It contains the essence of all deities

2. It embodies the spiritual power of sacred pilgrimage sites like Srishaila

3. It’s guarded by the ten vital breaths (or the deities of the ten senses)

4. It’s connected to other major energy centers that shine like jeweled islands

5. It houses the individual soul (Jivatman), which extends throughout one’s being like a vast tree
