The Rudra Aspect.

When The Time Takes Place. 

-----------------------©---------------------

A Rudra-Space (रुद्र-लोक) assumes Existence,

As soon as, Rudra wakes up, 

From His samAdhi Timeless,

He manifests Himself in 11 dimensions. 

The 11 is a number, Mathematical.

The 11 dimensions are at once projected,

Into the 11 Strings where-in is limited,

 The Manifest Time-Space. 

 When The Time Takes Place,

11 Times owe simultaneous existence, 

In a moment eternal, beyond the physical.

The 11 strings that the Physics speaks of. 

Though they all are diverse expressions of, 

The Singular Essentiality, -The Rudra,

They all generate a world,  -their own. 

The Duration of Time in all happens, 

As if the other 10 have no existence,

One Rudra alone, always exists,

In one and all of those 11 dimensions. 

Be a Rishi (ऋषि) - A scientist of yore, 

Or a Physicist, - A Rishi (ऋषि) of the day, 

All are and is but Rudra (रुद्र) only.

Thus elucidates the शिव-अथर्वशीर्ष ।

Rudra alone knows all the times,

That take place in the 11 dimensions,

Yet, no individual can ever know,

What might be taking place, 

In the 10 dimensions, other than one's own!

Though one can sure predict the facts, 

The purely physical of one's own world,

No one can but predict precisely, 

Exactly what is going to happen, 

In the Future, that is in one's imagination.

But all and everyone has a criteria,

To examine the essential nature of Time, 

That one comes across in the 3 states, 

Namely, the waking, dream and sleep,

Where Time becomes just volatile!

One can even enter in the states of mind, 

Like those, as are experienced by one, 

During waking, deep sleep, or in dream,

Where Time is molded and folded, 

In a way that reminds us often, always, 

Of the clocks painted by Salvador Dali,

Where Time seems to go through change, 

The warp and weft, twists, distortions.

But in Essence, Substance and Reality,

All is but the Dance of Nataraja, The Rudra.

You can't just ignore and push away,

With  contempt, hatred and disdain,

In your aggressive adamant, audacious,

Stubborn, obstinate and Stupid, 

Ignorance, Pride and Prejudice,

The Upanishads, Veda, the sacred texts,

Declaring them to be useless, -of no value.

But even if once, you go through them, 

With all due humility and trust,

That the Rishi discovered Timelessly,

You can at once relate them all, 

With the latest and most discoveries,

Can sure find out their relevance always, 

In all times that were, are and will ever be.

Don't call them 'Hindu' in contrast with, 

The Religions / faiths , -The Abrahmic,

Though they're no doubt the Lineage, 

The Heritage, and the timeless wisdom,

Of the Hindu History, Culture, Religion.

We Hindu honor and adore this wisdom,

We Hindu call it The Sanatana Dharma,

The Truth, Reality, Brahman, Ishwar, Atman.
