In Shiva’s Hands, I Let Go – A Maha Shivaratri Reflection

A lone figure sits in deep meditation under a massive ancient tree at night, bathed in moonlight. In the distant sky, a cosmic image of Lord Shiva forms from stars and mist, symbolizing divine presence and surrender. The atmosphere is serene, evoking a sense of faith, trust, and inner peace.
Some things are beyond me, but never beyond Shiva. Tonight, I leave my hopes, doubts, and prayers in his hands. In surrender, I find peace. Har Har Mahadev.

The Weight of What We Cannot Control

There comes a time in life when we realize that no matter how hard we try, some things remain beyond our grasp. Love, destiny, relationships, and unanswered prayers, they all slip through our fingers like sand. 

We hold on, we hope, we fight, yet sometimes, all we can do is surrender.

Today, on the sacred night of Maha Shivaratri, I choose to do just that. Not just in tradition, but in spirit, I fast, I reflect, and I leave everything in Shiva’s hands.

Why I Chose to Fast on Maha Shivaratri

Many observe fasting today to honor Lord Shiva. Some seek blessings, some pray for love, success, or salvation. But my fast is different. It is not for wishes or rewards. It is my way of stepping back from everything I cannot control.

I began my fast at 11:08 AM today, and it will end at 8:54 AM tomorrow. But beyond food, this is a fast from attachment, from expectations, from forcing things that are not meant to be.

Letting Go: A Prayer to Shiva

As I sit in silence tonight, I realize that this is not about losing, but about trusting. About believing that if something is truly meant for me, it will come back in its own time. And if not, I will have the strength to move forward.
I have nothing to ask, nothing to hold.
Everything drifts beyond my hands.
So, I leave it all to you, my Shiva
My hopes, my doubts, my unspoken prayers.
If it's meant to be, let it find me.
If not, give me the strength to walk alone.

The Power of Surrendering to Shiva

Letting go does not mean giving up. It means understanding that some battles are not ours to fight. It means trusting that Shiva knows what is best, even when we don’t. This Maha Shivaratri, I am not asking for answers. I am asking for peace.

As I complete my fast, I will carry this lesson with me, not just today, but always. Whatever is beyond me, I leave to Shiva. Har Har Mahadev.

Finding Strength in Faith

This night is a reminder that faith is not about demanding answers, but about walking forward even when we don’t have them. Shiva is not just a god; he is a way of life, a symbol of strength in surrender.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, try letting go. Not as an act of weakness, but as an act of trust. You might just find the peace you’ve been searching for.

A journey of Love, Fear, and the Unspoken Battle

  Love, Fear and Unspoken Battle Love, Fear, and the Road Between Us Side by side, yet miles apart, I spoke my heart; you held your guard. I wished for time, just more with you, You feared love’s weight and what it could do. You said to forget, to let you go, But love doesn't fade just because we say so. If it must end, then make it clear, Not in silence, not with fear. A Journey Beyond Distance The journey between Bangalore and Mysore was more than just a physical trip. It was a passage through emotions, unspoken fears, and the weight of love and uncertainty.  As we sat together in the bus, the world outside blurred, but within, every word carried meaning, every silence held a question. A Moment of Honesty I told her something simple yet profound.I felt a pang of jealousy for those who spoke to her every day. Not because I wanted to control her, but because I cherished every second with her.  She took it differently, warning me that jealousy turns into possessiveness, an...

The Weight of Responsibilities : Balancing Dreams and Reality

Lost in thought, riding through responsibilities and dreams, somewhere between what is and what could be. Have you ever felt like multiple versions of yourself exist? Not just in people’s minds but even within you? One side wants to live life to the fullest, traveling and exploring without limitations. The other side is burdened by responsibilities, financial struggles, and expectations. Riding Through Thoughts and Dreams The road ahead, the past behind,   Dreams call loud, but fate’s unkind.   Throttle roars, yet thoughts run deep,   Miles to go, no time to weep.   Responsibilities heavy, yet hope stays,   Riding ahead, finding my ways. - @Satyaharishchandraa A Reality Check: The Unfair System Today started with a message from the ConfirmTkt app about a train ticket refund. The ticket cost ₹806, but since I didn’t get a seat, it was automatically canceled. However, the refund was just ₹450! Where did the remaining amount go? It made me...
