The Turning Point – When I Truly Felt Lord Shiva’s Presence

Back when I was 17, I wasn’t on the right path.


I had fallen in with the wrong group of friends. Slowly, I picked up habits I knew weren’t good for me—late nights, skipping classes, ignoring responsibilities. I stopped attending lectures. I overslept after nights out. And even though I knew deep down that this wasn’t who I wanted to be… I kept going.


Things got worse when I entered my first year at polytechnic. My focus faded. My discipline dropped. My life felt like it was heading nowhere—but I didn’t know how to stop it.


 "Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise." – Victor Hugo


And then, something changed.


One day, I decided to pray. Not out of habit, not because someone told me to—but because I needed help. I needed direction. I needed someone to pull me out.


That was the first time I prayed to Lord Shiva with my whole heart.


No rituals. No perfect words. Just honesty.


 "When you call upon Shiva with a true heart, He answers in silence, but His presence is louder than words." - Sadhguru


And in that moment, something shifted.

I felt a deep sense of calm.

Not guilt. Not fear. Just presence.

A feeling that He was there, listening.


It didn’t solve everything overnight—but from that day, I began to change.

I started waking up earlier. Attending my classes. My results improved.

Even my friendships began to shift—I slowly moved away from people who weren’t good for me.


 "Transformation doesn’t come from outside pressure—it begins the moment you decide to return to your truth."





That one prayer became a turning point.


And since then, Lord Shiva has been my guiding light—reminding me of who I truly am, beyond mistakes, beyond habits, beyond confusion.


This is why I created SoulSattva—to share moments like this. Because I know there are others out there feeling lost, like I once did. And I want them to know:


 "Shiva doesn’t ask for perfection. He asks for presence." 



It’s never too late to return.

All it takes is one prayer. One moment of truth.

And Lord Shiva will meet you there.


Om Namah Shivaya.

The Five Faces of Shiva: Understanding Panchamukha Shiva

Who is Panchamukha Shiva? “ Panchamukha” means “ five- faced” . This form of Shiva is an ancient concept found in the Vedas, Puranas, and Tantric texts. Each of these faces represents one of the five elements , five functions of the Divine , and the five aspects of consciousness . Rather than being merely symbolic, the five faces of Shiva are keys to inner transformation and spiritual mastery. The Five Faces and Their Significance 1. Sadyojata ( West Face) – The Power of Creation Element: Earth ( Prithvi) Function: Srishti – Creation Quality: Represents Shiva as the Creator, the one who gives birth to all that is seen and unseen.

Why I Started Soulshivaya – A Journey into Spiritual Life

 I was just 17 when I first turned to Lord Shiva. It was during my school days—a time filled with stress, confusion, and the usual struggles with studies and friendships. I didn’t fully understand spirituality back then, but something in me was drawn to His presence. The first time I truly worshipped Him, I felt it. A calm, quiet strength—something I had never felt before. From that day, I began praying to Him every single day. No grand rituals, just simple, sincere devotion. And slowly, things began to change. My relationships with friends improved. My results in school got better. But more than anything, I felt supported, protected, and guided. Like Shiva was silently walking beside me, helping me grow through it all. Years later, that connection has only deepened. SoulSattva is my offering—a space to share this journey with others. To reflect on Lord Shiva’s wisdom, His silence, His strength. And to show that even in the middle of a busy life, there is space for stillness, devot...
