Good on.

How do I run to my destination?

Namaste. It is Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your highest involvement.

So this is a little spur of a moment podcast episode. I just decided to record right now because I was in the middle of writing one of my goddess posts. If you follow me on Instagram, you see that I discuss the various Hindu goddesses and what they represent in a very modern and in an in gaugeable way.

So I was writing today's post on Padavati and I thought it would be so fitting to actually just share with you her story so you can actually hear about it more indefinitely.

So why am I starting with Padavati? Well, actually you all have heard a devotional chant to her at the start of my podcast in the intro music.

You hear her name in a Bukti in a devotional chant and it's interesting because I chose that song because I love it. It's really my favorite song of all time. I love how it makes me feel the song is silent and gonga, gongis in English by Manish Demor, who's a dear friend of mine that I met in Bali, amazing musician.

But in that song and it's so weird that I chose the part where it's the time to Padavati.

And I knew about Padavati but I wasn't like as involved with her but now I've been researching her recently and she is the perfect person to be the intro music to my podcast.

So let me tell you a little bit about her.

So Padavati is a true representation of becoming your highest self really.

And I've always known her as the wife of Shiva. So Lord Shiva is the god of creation and of destruction. He was known to be the first yogi who is very, very disciplined.

So when Lord Shiva lost his beloved Sati, his wife, he went into very deep grief and he sat in meditation for thousands of years and he totally neglected all of his duties.

He wasn't creating, he wasn't destroying and Brahma, the god of creation, noticed that nature had lost its luster. The world was not the same.

Everything had become dull and stagnant because without Shiva there was no, no more dissolution. There was no idea. There was no creativity, no imagination.

So Brahma was really upset with this and he was like, how is the, how is the world going to live on when we don't have any creation anymore.

So he went to the great feminine force, Shakti, which is the divine feminine energy that exists in everyone and everything.

So Brahma went to Shakti and was like, what can we do? All Shiva is doing is just sitting in meditation and he's not, he's not creating. So Shakti was like, okay, you know what, I'm going to be born again as a human, a female.

I'm going to bring Shiva back into the world. Leave it, leave it to the ladies. We're like, don't worry, I got this. You know, it's like when a man has an issue or like, trust me, I got this figured out.

So, so she gets re-incarnated as part of that. So part of that, the her whole life, she was just so in love with Shiva, she would like sit in a meadow and like think about him and like a day dream about putting flowers on his feet.

Like she was really like boring to love him, but obviously nothing happened and he was just still in his meditation.
