Yes, I can share my personal experience of a miracle by Lord Shiva, I had witnessesd during a meditation camp in Uttarakhand Himalayan region.
Since my childhood, Lord Shiva attracted me the most, probably because of the mysterious stories I had heard about him.or the miracles of my mind
I had an impression in my mind, that Lord Shiva lives in Himalayas in a human form (as we see in TV serials), but all my preconceived notions were about to get shattered.
During a trekking expedition in Himalayas, I met an unknown “Realised Guru” in an unexpected situation and he changed my life.
(Here you can read, how I met my Guru: Aham Jogi (अहम जोगी)'s answer to Are there any spiritually enlightened people living today?)
Initially, he appeared to me like any other man, because he is not a sanyasi, he runs a trekking business, lives with family, uses mobile phones, drives a car, he is young, wears jeans etc.
But when we started to talk I realised he knows some deep secrets.
He never claimed that he was a realised being and till today he prefers to stay unknown.
After the trek was over, I came down to the base camp, I met him again and we started the conversation in front of a bonfire.
He systematically destroyed my belief system of Gods, Goddesses, heaven, traditional mode of prayers and borrowed knowledge from books.
He encouraged me to be a 'seeker', rather than a 'believer', which simply means -
“Never believe in 'anything', until you experience it yourself”
After that night long conversation, it was clear to me that Shiva is “formless and everywhere”, but I was yet to experience or feel his presence.
Although I was feeling a strong attraction towards this man but I was still skeptical, whether I should trust him because it felt like probably he knows hypnotism or something which was making my mind calm.
Later on, I started to visit him often and he used to teach me certain meditation techniques.
He says there are 112 different types or categories of meditation techniques and depending on what kind of human being you are, atleast one of the technique will definitely work on you.
I realised that in his presence when I used to meditate, I used to feel an intense feeling in my spine and sometimes I used to feel shivering in my body.
One day, I was meditating and as soon as he arrived my upper body started rotating mildly on its own, as if there is some mild earthquake.
After meditation I asked him why is it happening?
He said:
“your energies are moving upward and when you progress from one stage to another it happens. Don't bother about it and focus on the kriya.”
No one is a resident meditator in his campsite because he doesn't have those facilities, but we go there often for meditation camps.
After many months, one day after meditation session I went to him to take his blessings because I was about to leave.
He was on 'silence' (Maun vrat) that day and was sitting on his chair.
I touched his feet to take his blessings and sat in front of him near his feet.
He looked straight in my eyes and I felt something is about to happen.
It felt like his eyes were saying something that my conscious mind was not able to interpret, however probably my sub conscious or unconscious mind was listening.
For the first time he applied his thumb in my forehead in the Aagya chakra.
I felt an electric current in my whole body and I started crying out of joy for no reason.It felt as if something was transmitted from his body to my body and that was the ‘moment’ when I came to know who he is.For that moment ‘I’ vanished and only Shiva was everywhere…literally everywhere!
That was the “miracle of Shiva”, when he made me realise that I was a fool to believe that I and Shiva are two separate entities.
There were never two entities, only he is there, everywhere, there is nothing except him…
Later on I experienced many things which I will not reveal because certain experiences are personal and not meant to be shared.
It sounds so simple, but why for ‘most people' it is very difficult to realise?
Because of your identities or ego - I am this, I am that.
The worst kind of identity is “I am spiritual”
The whole process of yoga is to shatter your identities.
Be a seeker, please do not believe anything, until you experience it yourself
For spiritual progress you can start with Maha Rudra Kriya meditation.
Aum Namah Shivay
