“Lord Shiva’s Secret: Rising Above Fate with Tap and Aatma Tattva”
In ancient times, astrology was extremely accurate. People clearly knew what was written in their destiny — how much wealth, happiness, or struggle they were meant to experience. But while most people accepted this as fate, a few asked a bold question:
“Can I rise above what’s written in my destiny?”
One such person actually did it.
This person was none other than Lord Shiva — but before becoming Mahadev, he was a human known as Shankar.
At that time, nothing special was written in Shankar’s destiny. No fame, no divine power — just a normal life. But Shankar was deeply curious. He discovered something profound: all deities, like Brahma and Vishnu, worked using one common energy — the cosmic energy called Bhram.
So, Shankar decided to go deeper. He gave up everything that came from deities — food, comforts, blessings — everything. He even gave up food, the most basic gift of divine grace.
And that’s when he discovered something incredible inside himself — something no deity controlled.
It was the Aatma Tattva, the pure soul energy within.
This energy wasn’t dependent on anything. Even without food, it kept growing stronger on its own.
Unlike Siddhis, which are powers received through blessings, this Aatma Tattva came purely from within. Shankar began to work on this inner energy without asking any deity for help. As his Aatma Tattva grew stronger, he slowly started becoming something more — he started becoming Parmatma, the Supreme.
And when his Aatma Tattva reached a very high state, he felt the presence of the Ram Tattva, the ultimate divine presence.
With full devotion, he offered his energized Aatma Tattva to Lord Ram, and in return, he received the Ram Tattva — the divine essence of Lord Ram Himself.
Through this sacred exchange, Shankar didn’t change his destiny — he went beyond it.
He received all the powers, grace, and authority of Lord Ram, and from that moment on, he was no longer just Shankar —
he became Lord Shiva, the Mahadev — Devo ke Dev, Parmatma.
"Naga Sadhus and the Sacred Path of Lord Shiva"
This is also why Naga Sadhus, who want to experience the Param Tattva (supreme divine energy), give up everything — food, comfort, and all attachments.
They follow Lord Shiva’s path of Tap, where they energize their Aatma Tattva and offer it to the divine to receive higher spiritual authority.
So if someone wants to rise beyond their destiny, they must awaken their Aatma Tattva through Tap , just like Lord Shiva did.
The Evolution of Sadhna: Tapping into Divine Energy
In today’s world, we hear a lot about Sadhna — a spiritual practice that involves mantra chanting, meditation, and fasting. But do you know how it started?
It began with a powerful realization:
Just accepting destiny isn’t enough.
If you want to go beyond your fate — to receive divine powers, guidance, or grace — you need to do something more.
Lets discuss this in detail:
Long ago, Tap (deep spiritual effort) was practiced by those who gave up everything that came from the grace of deities — like food, comfort, and pleasure — in order to energize their Aatma Tattva, the soul’s divine core.
But saints of the modern era realized that many people still wanted to stay connected to deities through mantra chanting. So they combined Tap and Mantra into one process — and that’s how Sadhna was born.
Sadhna allows a person to receive deity’s grace through chanting, and at the same time, energize their soul through Tap. This combination helps a seeker awaken both Ram Tattva (grace and devotion) and Shiv Tattva (power and absorption) together.
"When the Aatma Radiates, Shiva Elevates"
Let’s understand how this works through a simple concept:
Inside each of us is something called Grahan Shakti — the power to absorb and grasp divine energy. This is actually a part of Shiv Tattva.
So, when someone increases their Grahan Shakti, they are unknowingly increasing the Shiv Tattva within — and this in turn energizes their Aatma Tattva.
And once the Aatma Tattva is energized, it becomes strong enough to connect deeply with any divine tattva — whether it’s Shiva from where the concept of aatma tattva came or other deity.
But here’s the key:
To receive something divine, you must offer your energized Aatma Tattva to that deity.
And in return, you receive the deity’s Tattva — their power, energy, and authority.
That’s why, over time, a true sadhak begins to think, act, and radiate like the deity they worship — because they’ve received that deities’s tattva in exchange.
How Lord Ram and Hanuman Realized Divine Power Through Tapasya
When divine balance on Earth needed restoration, Lord Vishnu took birth as Lord Ram. But instead of displaying his godly powers openly, he chose a path of deep spiritual discipline — Tapasya. Leaving behind his royal life, Ram went into exile (vanvas) for 14 years. What most people remember is the war in the 14th year, but the real transformation happened quietly during those earlier years.
In the solitude of the forests, Lord Ram did intense Tap — silently energizing his inner divine spark, his Aatma Tattva. By the 14th year, he had awakened such powerful energy that he created a divine illusion. The world only saw the outer story — the battles, the victories — but not the deep spiritual preparation behind them.
Then came the most sacred moment — Lord Ram offered his entire Aatma Tattva to Lord Shiva through pure devotion. In return, he received Shiv Tattva, and Shiva accepted the offering so completely that he became known as Rameshwar — “the Lord of Ram.”
Later, Lord Shiva himself incarnated as Hanumanji, the ultimate devotee. He performed intense Tapasya, energized his own Aatma Tattva, and offered it to Lord Ram. In that divine exchange, he received Ram Tattva, and from then on, became one of the most powerful forces in the cosmos.
Even today, Hanumanji continues this sacred cycle — constantly offering his Aatma Tattva to Lord Ram and receiving Ram Tattva in return. This eternal exchange keeps him spiritually invincible and forever connected to his Lord.
What This Means for Us
These divine beings showed us one truth:
Anyone can rise above their destiny by energizing their Aatma Tattva through Tap, and offering it through true Sadhna.
This is why Ashaeiynn always recommends combining Tap (fasting, discipline) with mantra chanting.
This practice helps you:
- Awaken both Ram Tattva and Shiv Tattva
- Strengthen your soul
- Receive divine authority and power
Transform your life beyond what’s written in your fate
Note:
Deities do not give anything for free.
They only bless a person when they receive something in return — your Aatma Tattva.
That’s why fasting and discipline exist: so that your Tap energy grows and makes your soul brighter and more divine.
This is the real purpose of Sadhna — to become so spiritually strong that even the gods respond to your offering with their grace and power.
Final Thought
If you want more than what destiny has given you, Tap is the only way.
Without it, no amount of prayer or worship will work.
With it, you can receive divine powers, change your fate, and walk the same path once walked by Shiva, Ram, and Hanumanji.
