WHAT IF LORD SHIVA MEDIATES BETWEEN THAILAND AND CAMBODIA

“I do not often speak. But when my name echoes amid gunfire, and the temple once built in my honour becomes a battlefield, I must.

To my children in Thailand and Cambodia.

Why do you fight over Preah Vihear and the land that surrounds it—a space you did not build, a place meant for peace?

Long before your borders were drawn, this temple stood upon the mountain. Not to mark territory, but to invite transcendence. Not to serve nations, but to silence ego. It was carved in stone not to divide, but to dissolve pride.

“That person who gives up all desires, moves free from attachment, ego, and thirst for possession, attains peace.”

— Bhagavad Gita 2:71

Now you argue not just over the temple, but over the sacred soil that holds it. You raise soldiers and weapons where once pilgrims raised prayers. You carry forward the grudges of the dead, as if history’s wounds must be inherited.

“For that which is born must die… the wise grieve neither for the living nor the dead.”

— Bhagavad Gita 2:27–30

But I tell you—this is not a political dispute. It is a test.

A test of whether you will be ruled by ego or by wisdom.

A test of whether you will cling to illusion, or rise above it.

“He who sees all beings in the Self, and the Self in all beings, never turns away from it.”

— Isha Upanishad, Verse 6

I do not reside in flags or treaties. I reside in hearts emptied of pride. If you truly wish to honour Me, do not fight in My name. Surrender your anger. Surrender your need to dominate.

I offer you a path forward.

Let Preah Vihear and its surrounding lands become what they were always meant to be:

• A World Heritage sanctuary, shared by all.
• A pilgrimage site, where people come to lose their egos, not their lives.
• A center for peace, where world leaders can gather not to declare war, but to learn how to end it.

“Whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness rises, I manifest… to protect the good and destroy evil, and establish dharma.”

— Bhagavad Gita 4:7–8

Let no soldier walk its grounds unless barefoot.

Let no blood be spilled where devotion was once poured.

Let the temple and its land be not a symbol of division, but of unity for the world.

“The Self is the friend of the self for him who has conquered the self.”

— Bhagavad Gita 6:6

Now I return to My silence. But remember: if you truly seek Me,

stop fighting. Start surrendering.

Om Namah Shivaya.”

Peace, anas
