THE DIVINE ORIGINS: EXPLORING THE MYSTERIES OF SADASHIVA
HAPPY SAWAN SHIVRATRI! Sadashiva, a profound deity in Hindu cosmology, is revered as the father of Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu. His mention is particularly significant in the Shiva Purana, especially in the Rudrasamhita chapter, which details how Lord Sadashiva created Goddess Durga and subsequently gave rise to his sons: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Sadashiva is also referred to as Mahabrahma, Mahavishnu, and Mahashiva in various Puranas. Known as Brahm or Kaal, he is the primordial essence from which all creation emanates.
The Eternal Yet Finite Existence of Sadashiva
While Sadashiva is immensely powerful, he is not eternal. The lifespan of Sadashiva is quantified using the age of his son, Shiva, as a base unit. It is said that when 70,000 Shivas pass away, one Sadashiva dies. Thus, the age of Sadashiva is 70,000 times the age of Shiva, signifying an incredibly vast but finite span of existence.
The Formless Form: Manifestation of Sadashiva
Sadashiva embodies a form that transcends all forms, sees all, is the cause of all, and sanctifies everything. This original Being, without a second, with neither beginning nor end, is the Supreme Brahm, all-pervasive and undecaying. Scholars have long revered this entity as Ishvara, the Supreme Lord. Despite being formless, Sadashiva manifested in a form to create and bestow life.
The Creation of Shakti
From his own body, Sadashiva created Shakti, a divine energy that did not diminish him. Shakti is known by various names, including Pradhana, Prakrti, Maya, Gunavati, and the mother of Buddhi Tattva (Cosmic Intelligence). She is also called Ambika, Prakrti, and the goddess of all, serving as the prime cause and mother of the three deities.
Shakti, depicted with eight arms, has a face that radiates the brilliance of a thousand moons, surrounded by thousands of sparkling stars. She is the embodiment of cosmic energy and the prime mover of all creation.
The Creation of Shivaloka and Kashi
Together, Sadashiva and Shakti created the holy center called Shivaloka, also known as Kashi. This sacred place, described as the seat of salvation and extreme bliss, remains untouched even during the Great Dissolution. Shivaloka, shining above all, is the perpetual abode of Sadashiva and Shakti, earning the name Avimukta. As a source of eternal bliss, this holy center is a manifestation of the divine union of Shiva and Shakti.
