In human heart there is Shri Shiva’s place from where Shri Shiva witnesses everything. He manages the emotional side of the world. And this is Pranav which comes into the heart and vibrates. When this energy raises in human beings it is felt as vibrations in the heart. When it is felt in heart it is called ‘Anahat’ meaning ‘without percussion’. Then you can feel the vibrations.
Shiva Tattva (Principle) is our spirit. all this effort, all this evolution is for knowing that principle which is Shiva Tattva, Shiva Tattva is the Primodial Tattva, it is the principle of Sada Shiva, it is Eternal, and from that all the other principles came out and human beings were created.
Now human beings should know that Shiva who wished to make this creation and create humans beings in it and those human beings should know God, Have his power and should be engrossed in the joy of that power and in his work and he also wanted human beings to experience it This has happened through Sahaja yoga.
Even if you received your Realisation through Vishnu Tattva, what you obtain is Shiv Tattwa. This Shiva principle flows from the hand and we feel it as a Chaitanya Lahari(vibrations), this is the yoga you have attained Shiva has put his power, that is Shiva Shakti, we call it Mahakali Shakti, only a small part is put in every human being as kundalini which pierces the six chakras and ultimately unites with Shiva.
