ShivaShakthi...
Shiva…
Born in a simple family.
The hopes of his mother and father were his strength.
That was the day he had completed police training through hard work and waiting for the results.
That morning, a post arrived at Shiva’s house.
Shiva opened the letter and read it.
“Congrats Shiva… You are selected for Police Service.”
At that moment, Shiva was speechless. His eyes filled with tears.
“What happened, son?” his mother asked.
“I got selected for the police job” Shiva said.
Joy overflowed in his mother’s eyes.
His father said with pride “Work with righteousness, son. That is all we wish for.”
In Shiva’s heart, there was only one thought This is the beginning of my life.
But he did not know…This was not just the beginning of his life, It was the beginning of a story.
Filled with happiness after getting the police job, Shiva set out for a Kedarnath darshan.
Snow-covered mountains…Peaks touching the sky… Chanting Lord Shiva’s name in the wind. In every step, an unknown attraction pulled Shiva forward.
During the journey, Shiva stopped at one place. He saw a small child crying by the roadside. There was no one around. The child was shivering in the cold.
“Why are you crying, child?” Shiva asked.
The girl kept crying without saying a word.
Shiva lifted her, comforted her, asked where her house was, and took her home.
The child’s mother, with tears in her eyes, looked at Shiva and said,
“Shiva… you are someone sent by God. You brought my child home.”
Her parents cried with happiness and blessed him.
Those words stayed deeply in Shiva’s heart.
On the last day of the journey… Shiva felt as if a call was coming from deep within the forest.
Shiva walked into the forest. There was an ancient cave hidden inside. The moment he stepped in, everything turned silent. At the center, a magnificent Shiva Lingam was glowing with light.
Without realizing it, Shiva’s hands moved forward. He touched the Lingam.
As Shiva touched it with devotion, a strong light filled the cave. His body trembled. His eyes burned. From that moment, Shiva could see the future.
“What is this?” Shiva’s heart began to race. He could not understand whether it was real or a dream.
Shocked and confused, he left Kedarnath and started his journey back home.
During the return journey, Shiva was waiting for a bus at the bus stop.
Just then, a girl came to him and said, “Please help me… they are troubling me.”
There was calmness in her eyes. A divine glow on her face.
To help her, Shiva took her along and boarded the bus.
“Who are you? What is your name?” Shiva asked.
“My name is Bramarambha. I came from Hyderabad. I am a blogger. I came to record and blog of my Kedarnath trip,” she said.
Bramarambha said, “Thank you for helping me. Where are you going?”
“Hyderabad,” Shiva replied.
“Can I come with you? I also need to go to Hyderabad,” she asked.
Shiva said “Okay”
During the journey, Shiva and Bramarambha became friends, as if they had known each other for a long time. Bramarambha said she had no parents and lived in a hostel.
Shiva invited her to his home.
Bramarambha agreed and went with him.
At home:
Seeing Bramarambha with Shiva, his mother was shocked.
“Who is this girl?” she asked.
Shiva explained everything and said Bramarambha would stay for a few days.
His parents agreed.
Bramarambha blended into the house like a daughter.
Helping his mother in the kitchen every morning…
Taking care of household work.
Shiva joined the police station.
The day he wore the uniform pride in his father’s eyes.
“From today, it’s not just your life, The lives of the people are also your responsibility.” his father said.
“I will never stray from righteousness father” Shiva said firmly.
One day…A rainy evening. Shiva and Bramarambha stood on the terrace.
“You’re not facing any trouble here, right?” Shiva asked.
“There’s no trouble here… but there is pain in having to leave” Bramarambha said softly.
Shiva couldn’t understand her words, But he sensed a pain of separation in her voice.
“Didn’t you feel afraid after becoming a police officer?” Bramarambha asked.
“I did feel fear… but when you stand for righteousness, even fear steps aside,” Shiva said.
The next day, Bramarambha left the house. From that night onwards, unexpected events began in Shiva’s life.
Shiva had a dream, In that dream, he saw his parents were in danger. Fear filled his heart.
In the morning, when his parents prepared to go out, Shiva firmly said, “Do not go out today.”
No one understood why Shiva was behaving like that.
A few hours later, news came of a terrible accident on that road.
Tears filled Shiva’s eyes. “God… you saved them,” he thought.
A few days later, Shiva had another dream "A school was on fire" .
He warned the school authorities about a possible fire accident, but no one believed him.
Within hours, calls came to the fire station and police station that the school was on fire.
Shiva rushed there, jumped into the flames, and brought the children out one by one.
That day, Shiva was not just a police officer… He became a protector.
Later Shiva kept thinking. “Why am I getting these dreams? What's happening, Is this something kind of power?”
Shiva wanted answers.
Just then, Bramarambha called and asked to meet at a coffee shop.
Shiva agreed.
At the coffee shop:
Shiva was still thinking about his power.
When Bramarambha asked what happened, Shiva told her about the dreams and the power.
“I need to tell you something” Bramarambha said.
Bramarambha spoke “I am not from Hyderabad. I am from a small village near Kedarnath. Our village is famous for Lord Shiva devotion.
Years ago our village head blinded by ego insulted the lord Shiva temple. Also he does temple destruction… insult of devotees… acts against dharma.
From that day, a curse fell upon our village. The temple turned into a cave. No one could enter it. Expect the saviour of village.
Because of the curse floods, diseases, deaths followed one after another. The village slowly emptied.
A great sage said, ‘Until a human restores dharma, this village will not be freed from suffering. When the time comes, Lord Shiva himself will send a protector.’
The day you came out of the cave, I and our villagers saw you. Believing you to be that protector, I came with you to somehow take you to our village.
On this Maha Shivaratri, if Shiva Abhishekam is not performed in the cave our village will not survive. All those connected to the village including your mother will die.”
Shiva was shocked “My mother?”
“Yes. Your mother is connected to our village. After coming to your house and talking to your mother, I understood it.
Your mother is the daughter of the village head, the same man who destroyed the temple. After his death, the villagers expelled your mother from the village.”
Hearing this, Shiva rushed home and asked his mother the truth.
His mother said, “What Bhramaramba said is true, Shiva. I was expelled from that village. When I had nowhere to go, your father saw me. By then, my marriage to your father had already been decided. Understanding my situation, your father married me.”
I forgot that village and lived with you and your father as my whole world.
But for correcting my father’s mistake, you were born to me.
This is all Lord Shiva’s divine play.
You were chosen to fulfill your dharma, Shiva.”
After all this discussion he learned the truth. The Shiva Lingam had given him Shiva-Shakthi, divine power meant to protect life. But the power had a rule it would work only until its final purpose was completed.
Everyone went to the village. On Shivaratri night, Shiva alone entered the cave and performed Abhishekam to Lord Shiva with deep devotion.
Shiva’s worship, sacrifice, and strength of dharma calmed the curse.
The village lived again. It was saved. That night… Lamp worship at the village temple. The entire village glowed with Lord Shiva devotion.
As the village curse was destroyed, Bramarambha expressed the love to Shiva.
Just then, rain began like Lord Shiva’s blessing. The raindrops became witnesses to their love.
Shiva closed his eyes and folded his hands. Bramarambha stood beside him, not just as love but as destiny.
Their love was not ordinary. It was blessed. And that is the story of ShivaShakthi
Where devotion became power,
Love became strength,
And destiny found its light.
The divine power slowly left Shiva, but peace remained.
He had completed his destiny.
Only one thought remained in Shiva’s heart "Having power is not greatness… Using that power for dharma is greatness" .
The End…
Om Namah Shivaya...
