Brahama, Vishnu, and Shiva

One year anniversary of my first class taught, so revisiting the theme of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva

Story of how what we want to create in our lives and what we want to preserve are sometimes apparently in opposition to one another. When we bring the heat and fire of our breath and practice we can mold the two together, forging a stronger self. The story of Brahma and Vishnu also reminds us that even gods are not all powerful. Only Shiva who realizes that he is one with all things and thus cannot be better than
others (as he is in essence contained and embodied in all things) has the power to manifest immeasurable power as the pillar of fire.
