Ah! What a special being!

Strong, and gentle; wise, and playful; a leader, and teacher, who is confidant, even proud, but not self aggrandizing; a man who freely and often skillfully shares his strength through love.

When I was first meeting with this tribe, this community, Shiva (and Kala) from the very beginning were shinning guides, an avenue into the circle, radiating simple kindness and welcoming presence, helping in an organic and quietly pure way to nurture the grounding of initial connections, which have ever since been growing so wondrously. All this is done joyfully, (and almost effortlessly, it would seem), for all who come with open hearts.
(Wow, this testimonial is a little over the top, but hey, why not?!)

Dancing an offering of gratitude and love and delight

Jai Jai Shiva Jai !!!

MAHA DEVA!!!

There's not a lot of people who could pull of a name like Shiva. This warm hearted leo cares about his ladylove and his tribe above all else. A great dad, a fun and caring friend, truly a lion who looks out for his Pride, always. I'm glad to know him.

Shiva brings warmth. His sweetness radiates in an aura about him that I am always drawn to. He is truly alive, and filled with gratitude for life and I cannot help but to feel blessed with community, love, and gratefulness for all things in my life as well, when in his presance.

Shiva is a mover & shaker extraordinaire.
He is one of those divine points of light that creates a vortex wherever he goes.
I am blessed to call him "friend".

Shiva radiates a warm energy that suffuses the social space around him, and both soothes and energizes those who have the good fortune to interact with him. At every gathering where I have seen him, the vibe in his vicinity is particularly congenial and joyous. I don't know how he does it, or if he's even aware of it, but he adds a touch of simple happiness to the world aroud him, and I pray he doesn't stop any time soon.
