Sadhguru On Keertimukha - The Glorious Face

On Mahashivratri night, Sadhguru narrates the origin story of Keertimukha, who is considered to be above all gods due to his act of eating himself up.

Goraknath’s fierce love for his guru, Matsyendranath, drove him beyond all discipline on many occasions. Seeing that his disciple had the capability to change the world if only he could channelize his intensity, Matsyendranath constantly tempered it. Here is one such incident.

Sadhguru narrates the story of Bhrigu, one of Shiva’s direct disciples and a great devotee, for whom Shiva became Ardhanari or half-man, half-woman. Sadhguru also explains the significance of nurturing the masculine and feminine equally within oneself to become a full-fledged life, and to know the ultimate nature of existence.
