Parvati Priya Suta Bheemana Thanaya

parvati priya suta bheemana tanaya shivabalayogi pita maheshwara praneshwara parameshwara ardhanarishwara adivarapupeta avatara purusha

Beloved son of Parvati and son of Bheemana; Shivabalayogi our beloved father Shiva. Shri Swamiji is the lord of ‘prana’, the spiritual life current, or he is as beloved to us as our own life. He is the lord of our lives. ‘Parama’ is supreme and ‘ishwara’ is lord. Ardhanarishwara is the lord who fully combines both male and female aspects of God. This refers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati merging into Shri Swamiji's body (his left and right sides respectively) when he successfully completed twelve years tapas in August of 1961. This is also the meaning of his name Shiva-Bala-Yogi, Bala being one of the names of Goddess Parvati. In India it is widely believed that God incarnates on earth for the establishment of peace and dharma (the right path). Such beings are called avatars. ‘Purusha’ means person, but here is addressed to the creator who descended to earth, so both avatar and purusha have the same meaning. Shivabalayogi is the avatara purusha of Adivarapupeta (the village where he was born and did tapas).
