Experiencing Interruptions?

Touching Consciousness of Shiva

”Touching Consciousness of Shiva” explores the profound inner search for Lord Shiva — the unseen, the eternal, the one who resides within.

This poetic short film invites you into the stillness of the soul — a visual prayer inspired by devotion, memory, and mystical surrender. Every moment whispers the essence of “ನನ್ನ ಹರನ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ” — the longing to meet Him.

Purandara Dasaru, considered the reincarnation of Sage Narada, inspires the idea of a wormhole mantra — ‘Om Naradaya Namah’ — symbolizing timeless travel across realms through sound (mantra).

Shiva is portrayed not only as the supreme ascetic but as a cosmic singularity, akin to a Black Hole, where destruction is not an end but a gateway to silence and transformation.

Guru Raghavendra Swamy stands as the silent witness — the divine guide who validates the soul’s offering with grace.
