The Rudras emanate out of Rudra (Shiva) and associate with a variety of tattvas.  One being forces in the mind, as an example Ahirbundya the serpent of the deep forms the foundation for the mind and can be an obstacle to the mind when within the ego and tapping its lowest manifestation within the mind.  We want Ahirbundaya to form a foundation based on living in dharma.  The Vedas specifically refers to this with Ahirbundaya and the Sindhu, which can be the ocean of the mind and the grah Rahu  (Rg Veda 5.3.8).  Note: Ahirbundaya is an ekadasa Rudra Avatar.  In the Vedic Zodiac, one can begin with a sign and count 8 signs and find a Rudra therefore the Rudras cover a variety of qualities and relationships with planets and the zodiac.  This is also transferred to the chakras as each chakra is associated with an element and various tattvas within the mind as well.  The Puranas/Upanishads provide different groupings as each grouping is a specific formula.  Certainly there would be an association with the 10 sacred directions and the heart.  One would imagine that they would form levels within Shiva loka as well.

Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
