FAQs
It frames the cosmos as both gross and subtle, pointing the seeker to Shiva as Pati—the transcendent Lord beyond all luminaries—while the grahas and nakshatras belong to the manifested order that binds the pashu (soul) through pasha (limitations) until right knowledge arises.
The Sun, Moon, and stars are exalted lights within creation, yet the Linga signifies the source-light of consciousness that is not limited by time or celestial cycles; thus Saguna Shiva is worshipped as the Lord who manifests and governs these cosmic functions while remaining beyond them.
