Bhagwan Shiv, adorably known as Bhole, is the God of transformation and wisdom. He is shown in the meditative state, guiding the world with his power. The holy river Ganga flows from his hair, and the crescent moon shines on his head. His third eye symbolizes knowledge and wisdom. He destroys evil and protects his devotees with love and strength. Chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" brings peace, courage, and blessings from him. He is famous for answering devotees' prayers in no time, which marks his innocence and gives him the name Bhole.
Let's devote ourselves to Bhagwan Shiva through these simple yet inspiring Bhole ke Dohe and learn important lessons of life.
1. Bhole ke Dohe
मो मन मेरी बुद्धि लै,
करि हर कौं अनुकूल।
लै त्रिलोक की साहिबी,
दै धतूर कौ फूल॥
Mo man meri buddhi lai,
kari Har kau anukool
Lai trilok ki sahibi,
dai dhatur kau phool
Meaning:
This Doha of Bhole encourages us to shift our minds towards Bhagwan Shiva. One can please him by offering a simple dhatura flower, and in return, He blesses us with all the happiness and peace.
This verse beautifully shows Shiva’s kindness—He does not ask for big offerings, though showers his blessings even for the smallest devotion.
Lesson for Kids:
Imagine you have a small plant in your garden that you take care of every day. You water it, and in return, it gives you beautiful flowers and sweet fruit. Similarly, when you offer something small, like a flower, with love and devotion to Bhagwan Shiva, He gives you something much bigger in return, like wisdom and peace.
Children, putting a little effort with love and honesty can bring greater rewards.
