Inner Significance

This bhajan describes the male and female

energies that co-exist

harmoniously in Lord Shiva.

Observation 1:The meaning of the lines : 1. Jaya kailasa pate shiva shankara 2. Sa amba sada shiva shambho 3. Parthi eshwara sai shiva shambho

‘Sa’ means together ; ‘amba’ means mother ; ‘Sai’ = ‘Sa’ + ‘ ai ‘; ‘Sa’ means together and ‘ai’

means mother. Basically , the line 2 refers to the one who is both

the Mother and Father, residing in Kailash. The line 3 refers to the one who is both the the

Mother and Father, who is the Lord of Parthi.

Observation 2: The lines 4 and 5 bring out the combination of

success and humility in Shiva. The lines say that he is ‘Saileshwara’ : The

Lord of the Mountain, symbolizing the one who has achieved a lot and climbed the mountain of success.

At the same time, He is full of compassion and Performs the Lingodhbhava , going through all the pain for the welfare of Humanity.

These show how the opposite energies (male and female) co-exist in Shiva !

Observation 3: The lines 6 and 7 bring out the fact that Lord

Shiva is the Master of Life. He drinks Poison and nothing happens to Him.

He is indeed the Master of the Life force ! He gives Life in the form of Ganga and takes

away Life in the form of Trishula. This also exhibits the co-existence of opposite

energies in Shiva.
