“Awaken to your destiny and to the power of your True Self.”
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
Life is far beyond the earthly boundaries of life and death. Life extends deep into a spiritual universe where souls stand witness to the dance of immortality. Life is that journey which implores the soul to discover its destiny and realise the power of the True Self within.
Embark on one such incredible journey of discovering your True Self with author Dipa Sanatani’s timeless creation “The Heart of Shiva: A Story of Rebirth, Enlightenment and Creation”. It’s a story where the realm of the living meets with the realm of the unborn. It’s a story of the soul’s journey from death to rebirth and from life to liberation. It’s the story that leads a wandering Little Light towards its enlightened self.
“I wish to be free, O Shiva, from all that is unreal. O Mahadeva, lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me away from this eclipsed darkness into the light.”
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
The Story of a Devotee
Tara is an evolved soul—a picture of devotion, a fountain of wisdom and a devout storyteller. She dedicates her stories to the Divine and writes in a way as if communicating directly to the Lord. All her poems, tales and litanies express her unwavering devotion to Lord Shiva and her faith in Hindu mythology.
But Tara homes deep within her a wound from the scars of shattered love across her countless incarnations. She lives a forlorn life until she hears the pure voices of her unborn children as they nestle in her womb. And soon, with the blessings of the Lord, she stumbles upon the road to triumph over her haunting past.
“Awaken, O Tara, from this world where nothing is as it seems and where the truth is hidden in plain sight.”
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
A Spiritually Enlightening Journey
The entire journey is set on an enlightening path adorned with mythological tales, spiritual wisdom and the realisation of one’s true self. The book is themed on those Hindu myths that revolve around spiritual liberation. It mirrors the mythical tales that enlighten the soul about the true nature of life which doesn’t end with death or rebirth but continues its eternal dance till the end of time.
Oscillating between stories, conversations, poetries and litanies, the book touches a spiritual cord deep within the soul. A poetic tone embraces the story that feels more like a confession, a prayer, a conversation with the Divine.
“Stories—and by extension our lives—have neither a beginning, a middle nor an end. It is a spiral dance of the cosmos that stretches through eternity.”
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
Each tale holds within itself the power to transform one from utter restlessness to spiritual calmness. With every thread that weaves the book, the readers are transferred from the state of unconsciousness to a state of spiritual awakening. The web of stories is interconnected via the strings of spiritual transition from ignorance to knowledge, from oblivion to enlightenment.
Capturing the pearls of wisdom from the Hindu Mythology in meticulous fragments, the book sets on an enlightening journey revealing the secrets of birth, death, reincarnation and creation. Every single tale embeds a deep spiritual wisdom within. It shows how death is never the end but a beginning in itself, for there is an unexplored world beyond the realms of life and death. The stories slowly unveil the hidden truths from the Vedas, Upanishads and Hindu myths before the readers, illuminating their path towards spiritual liberation.
“We are who we are as much as we are who we are not.”
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
An Amalgamation of Myths, Litanies and Poetry
Beautiful poems adorn the book, seeping in at unexpected moments and merging in with the tale in the most effortless fashion. Even in their simplest demeanour, the poems impart a greater spiritual depth to the stories and never fail to amaze one with their deep insights and inner meanings.
Each of the litanies are crafted with such meticulous precision that they only work to push the story forward while offering the readers a taste of spiritual awakening and enlightening their soul with the tales which hold the power to inspire the divinity within.
“You, my Lord, are the artist.
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
I am a work of Your art.
Make me into a masterpiece, O Lord.”
The book feels more like a fragment, an amalgamation of different mythological tales, spiritual poetry and heart-warming litany, meticulously recorded in several different voices, rather than one single story narrating itself through a singular narrator. The vibrant and sophisticated language lends a refreshing tone to the entire narrative.
The marked change in tone, the abrupt shift in voices and the unexpected switch in mood keep the story fresh with an engaging narrative. It feels as if we are hearing stories within stories, echoing from several different voices calling for attention. For, it’s not just the story of only one Little Light, but several mythical tales juxtaposed in one—telling the tales of different little lights who traversed the world and set their foot on earth at various timelines.
“Truth is more powerful than wealth.
~The Heart of Shiva, Dipa Sanatani
SATYA is more powerful than death.”
