Mighty Shiva On Guard

He grazes he cannot slight the cyber maze the ever growing pastures of information. He comb those vexed crosshairs disheveled by random pages. He thieves he thought overwhelming and inspiring their viewers those captured instances. He ferrets out only morsels his limited mind to feed his humble blog.

He salutes with great admiration photographers and their work.

He ferreted out, one morsel of this image, that it is necessary to have faith at this merciless travesty of Mother Nature and, especially, for those countries affected or inflicted. Blogger hope this idol statue, considered the Supreme God in Shaivism, will stand unscathed and stay the faith of strength and will in aftermath such destructive currents of nature's travesty. A symbol emanating ever greater presence than the statue itself against the roaring waters.

To the thousands lives perished and still missing, may peace and love have already found and enveloped them, protected them in faith their fate, resting or alive. To the multiple thousands survived, may their cries and grief be met with extraordinary strength and will. Humble blogger found his calling conscience and compassion and shared in their cries and grief. Why not he petition others the same in their prayers or observed vigils for this country of perennial disasters, hampering abject poverty in multitude and for its great devotion of mysterious sacredness for millennia?

A submerged idol of Hindu Lord Shiva stands in the flooded River Ganges in Rishikesh, in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, India, on June 18, 2013. Monsoon torrential rains have cause havoc in northern India leading to flash floods, cloudbursts and landslides as the death toll continues to climb and more than 1,000 pilgrims bound for Himalayan shrines remain stranded.
