Lord Brahma, The one who creates everything (Brahma is the creator in the Hindu trinity)


Lord Brahma, The one who creates everything (Brahma is the creator in the Hindu trinity), and writes all the vedas (apparently the vedas came from Brahma's four heads), yet there are very little if any prayers are offered to this god. It is said that it was because of lord Brahma's ego, Lord Shiva cursed him so he would not be worshipped on Earth.
According to Shiva Maha Purana , once lord Brahma and Shri Vishnu had an argument on who was the most powerful amongst the Trimurti. The argument went on and on until they asked Lord Shiva to intervene. Shiva then took the form of a gigantic lingam made of flaming fire, and that went up to the heavens and also descended underneath the earth. And the one who finds the end of the light will be considered the most powerful among the Trinity.
Brahma took the form of a swan and started the search for the end of light along the length of ascending lingam. On the other hand, Shri Vishnu took the form of a Varaha (wild boar) and started the search for the end of the light along the length of descending lingam. They kept searching the end but in vain.
Shri Vishnu realized the fact that Shiva is, in fact, the greatest of the trinity and he admitted his mistake. But, Brahma thought that he could outdo Shiva with trickery. During his search He met the ketaki flower and requested ketaki to tell Shiva that he had in fact reached the uppermost end. Ketaki told Shiva that he had seen Brahma reach the upper end of the lingam.
Shiva got furious as he knew Brahma was lying. He cursed Brahma that he shall never be worshiped on earth. Also, the ketaki flower was cursed that it would never be used in any of Hindu worship rituals.! 👁🕉📿🌀🔔💛🎨🙏🏻

Lord Ganesha is known as Vighnaharta ( Remover of Obstacles ) and is worshipped first before any auspicious ritual or ocassion.



‘Om Gananam Ganapatim Havamahe
Nidhinam nidhipatim havamahe
Vighneshwaraya varadaya surpriyaya
Vakratunda mahakaya suryakoti samaprabha’!
This is Mantra of Shri Ganeshji. Lord Ganesh is known by different names like – Vighneshwar , Vakratunda,
Ekdanta, Gajvadan, Gauripriya, etc
Lord Ganesha is known as Vighnaharta ( Remover of Obstacles ) and is worshipped first before any auspicious ritual or ocassion. He is ever-blissful and is lovingly worshipped by millions of people worldwide. The son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Shree Ganesha, is the God of good luck and auspiciousness and is the dispeller of problems and obstacles. We worship Lord Ganesha with green grass called "Darbha". Lord Ganesha is said to be the form of Omkara. In Om, the upper arc is said to be the face of Lord Ganesha. The lower arc is his belly. The twisted arc which is on the right side of the Om is his trunk. Thus Omkara represents the complete physical form of Lord Ganesha. As every recital starts with an Omkara, all rituals too start only after praying Lord Ganesha, otherwise it is believed that the ritual does not reach to a logical end. The word Ganesha is made up of Gana (people) and Isha (lord). People worship Lord Ganesha with various other names like Vignaharta, Ashtavinayaka, Ekadanta, Gajanana, Vakratunda and Ganpati.
Ganesha is also represented as the source of all wisdom and knowledge. When students begin studies in school, the first thing they learn is a Ganesha mantra so they can chant the mantra when they are doing tests and preparing for their exams in order to try to get Ganesha's help to do well in school. It is great that kids learn that. I wish students would learn that way in the West, to learn in all activties to appeal to God. But, ultimately, the knowledge and intelligence that Ganesha represents is not terrestrial, book knowledge. His knowledge is spiritual.! 🐘🕉🙏🏻🌈🌀🌷
Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah 🐘🕉🙏🏻🌈🌀🌷

For all those whose faith is shaken or facing life storms of any kind , for the mountains may be removed and hills may shake, No matter how bad things may seem God is in control. Nothing happens without His knowledge. Not one sparrow can fall without our lord knowing it. So don't worry! You are more valuable to Him than many sparrows." If God's eye is on the sparrow, He's most certainly watching you. In the midst of sadness and uncertainty, His hand is there to guide you; Hisstrength is there to support you. You are never out of His reach.
Midst pain and powerful feelings of suffering , despair confusion and fear and as difficult as the many life storms may be ,I don't know how i could ever get through , because god has been with me always ! I trust him completely for I know the will of god will never take me where the grace of god will not protect me !!
So surrender to God. He will protect you always. You can fight and win the battles of today, only. No matter what’s happening, you can resourcefully fight the battles of just one day. It’s only when you add the battles of those two mind-bending eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, that life gets overwhelmingly painful and complicated! 💖🕉🔱📿🐚🐍🌙🐚🌀👁🌸⌛️🔆🌿🔔💀🌻🌈🙏🏻

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent. 🕉 Namaste Beautiful Souls. It's time for Weekend Vibes. 🌀🌷🌀 Yes, When you try to control too much, you enjoy too little. So you just need to let go, relax, take a deep breath and love what is. Spiritual maturity lies in the readiness to let go everything. The giving up is the first step , But the real giving up is in realising that there is Nothing to give up , for nothing is your own. So just let go and enjoy the whole truth. Dissolve into their presence in stead of trying to change things. You can stop complaining about your life circumstances, about your losses, about how the world is, and just let go and love what is. Just be. Just accept. Just appreciate. We are not disturbed by things, but by the fears and worries and opinions that we form in our mind. Theshivatribe. We are hindered, disturbed and grieve not because of others, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves. Realise that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace. Because inner peace does not depend on external conditions, it’s what remains when you’ve surrendered your ego and worries. Peace of mind arrives anyplace and anytime, the moment you come to peace with what’s on your mind. So all you need to do is free your mind from needless worries. No matter what happens, no matter the outcome, the sun will rise and set. The world around you is going to spin one way or the other. So why not allow the universe to bless you in surprising and joyful ways. So instead of pushing so hard to make life happen, just be and allow life to happen to you!! Love, light & Peace 🕉👁🌼🐍🌙🌸🍃💀🔱🐚🌷🔆🌀🌺🔔🌿📿🎨🙏🌈

Whenever the word devotion and devotee are mentioned, the name ‘Hanuman’ is one that comes to the mind of most Hindus. Lord Hanuman’s devotion for Lord Rama is legendary and unparalleled. It is said that the mere mention of Lord Rama’s name is enough to bring Lord Hanuman’s presence. It is also mentioned in some legends that Lord Hanuman is an avatar of Lord Shiva.
There is a legend regarding Lord Hanuman’s birth which explains the reason behind his closeness with Lord Rama, though they meet only later in life. According to the story, King Dasaratha conducts a yagna under the guidance of sage Agastya to beget children. After the pooja, a divine being appears carrying a pot, and advices the King to give the contents of the pot to his wives. The King paid his respects and started dividing the contents of the pot onto a plate. As the King was about to take the final handful of content from the pot, an eagle swiftly came and carried the pot away. The King tried but was unsuccessful in stopping the eagle. In a nearby forest, the queen Anjana of a monkey tribe was doing severe penance to beget a suitable child as their heir. On the advice of Lord Shiva, Lord Vayu (Wind God) stopped the eagle (Lord Garuda) and asked him to transfer the contents of the pot into Lord Vayu’s hand. Lord Vayu then carried the pot to Anjana and advised the queen to consume the contents. Thus making Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman brothers, which explains their legendary friendship. 🐵🕉🌀🔱🌷📿⌛️🌈🙏🏻🐵
Jai Sri Ram ~ Jai Rudra Ke Roop Hanuman. 🐵🕉🌀🔱🌷📿⌛️🌈🙏🏻🐵

Shiva means the ‘pure one’ or the ‘auspicious one’ – the Supreme Being


Shiva means the ‘pure one’ or the ‘auspicious one’ – the Supreme Being who cannot be contaminated by the imperfections of the world. The very utterance of his name purifies everyone.
Shiva is in fact the only god who is not affected by the three Gunas of Prakriti. In Samkhya philosophy, there are three Gunas (guiding principles) of Prakriti (universal nature). These are Sattva– forces that are responsible for purity and goodness; Rajas – all that motivates activity and passion; and Tamas, which is loosely translated as darkness – forces that promote sloth, ignorance and death. Unaffected by these principles, Shiva is said to be the only god who has no Aadi(birth or beginning) or Anta (death or end), often referred to as AadiAnanta Shiva.
Shiva is feared as the destroyer and loved as the merciful Bholenath at the same time. His powers and actions are better described as transformative, not simply destructive. Shiva is responsible for change – through death and through the destruction of the ego and through the shedding of old habits and material attachments. His various depictions propagate balance and harmony. They teach one the importance of the life cycle and how one must understand and respect it in order to co-exist harmoniously with nature, society and the universe.
All that has a beginning must have an end – through Shiva’s powers nothing is truly destroyed except the illusion of individuality. His transformative and purifying powers pave the way for a better reality – a beautiful new beginning along with new opportunities. As the god who constantly meditates and lives as a simple ascetic, Shiva searches and strives for a universe in perfect harmony and balance. While best known as the destroyer, Shiva truly represents hope, transformation and goodness.! 🕉👁🔱🌈🐚⌛️🌼🐍🌙🌷💀🔔🌀🔆🎨📿🌸🙏🏻
