“Shivji Cosmic Sankalp” is a concept that draws from Hindu cosmology, spirituality, and mythology — particularly the idea of Lord Shiva’s divine will or resolve (sankalp). Let’s break it down:
🔱
Meaning of ‘Shivji Cosmic Sankalp’
:
- Shivji (Shiva): The Supreme Consciousness in Shaivism, beyond time and form, yet also manifest as destroyer, transformer, yogi, and the stillness in the cosmic dance.
- Cosmic: Relating to the universe, cosmic laws, cycles of creation and destruction.
- Sankalp (संकल्प): A divine resolve or intent — not just a mental decision but a spiritual vow or manifestation of will that sets cosmic events into motion.
🌌
Philosophical Essence
:
The “Cosmic Sankalp of Shivji” refers to Shiva’s divine intention that triggers creation, sustenance, and dissolution of the universe. In various scriptures and yogic philosophy:
- Shiva’s Sankalp is beyond human comprehension, as it is rooted in pure consciousness (Chaitanya) and not limited by time or ego.
- It is said that creation begins when Shiva opens his third eye (symbolizing awakened perception or intent) and cosmic dissolution begins when he closes his eyes or performs the Tandava (cosmic dance).

References in Scriptures
:
- Shiva Purana & Linga Purana:
- The creation of the cosmos is initiated not through action but through sankalp — a silent will of Shiva.
- Yoga Vashistha:
- Describes the entire universe as a manifestation of sankalp shakti — the power of will, consciousness manifesting as reality.
- Kashmir Shaivism:
- The universe is Spanda (vibration) — an expression of Shiva’s sankalp. Reality emerges from Shiva’s ichha (will) as an act of divine play (lila).

Spiritual Interpretation
:
- In yogic practices, aligning your own sankalp with Shiva’s cosmic sankalp is the path to liberation (moksha).
- The power of sankalp shakti in humans is said to be a reflection of Shiva’s cosmic sankalp, thus linking intention with creation.
