Lord Hanuman, the monkey-god and the constant companion of Lord Rama, is worshipped all over the world. Hanuman Ji has many names. Hanumat, Maruti, Pavan-sut and Anjaneya are some of them. Hanuman ji is the god of strength, power and celibacy. He practiced Brahmacharya throughout his life.
Hanuman Ji is a major character in the Ramayana and his valour and bravery has been described greatly in it. He is described as a monkey god with a stout neck, a rounded reddish face, sharp white teeth, hair that resemble the Ashok flowers and a tail that sways like Lord Indra's banner.
Other than his super human strength, he also possesses the capability to shrink to the size of an ant or grow as large as a mountain when he wishes, as per legends.
It is said that when Lord Vishnu was about to take birth as Rama, Lord Shiva wished to be born on earth to serve Lord Vishnu. Sati Devi was not happy with this because she feared they would have to stay apart. As a compromise, Lord Shiva decided to have his Ansh (a part) to be born on earth. Finally Lord Shiva decided to be born as a monkey who lives a simple and ascetic life. So Lord Shiva was born as Hanuman and served Lord Rama. Hanuman Ji was born to Mata Anjana and King Kesari with the blessings of God Vayu. He is one among the 'Chiranjeevins' or the ones with eternal lives. It is said that Lord Hanuman lives on and to summon him, you only have to pray to him with a true heart. And where ever Lord Rama is worshipped, Lord Hanuman is sure to arrive.! 🐒🕉🌀🎨🙏

The elephant headed God is revered in every Hindu household, irrespective of regions and cultures. Ganesha is denoted through a lot of symbols such as the elephant head, big belly and riding a mouse. Most people are often curious as to why would a huge God like Ganesha would ride such a small rodent.
According to the Ganesha purana, Lord Ganesha's mouse was actually a demi-god in his previous birth and his name was Kroncha. At the assembly of Lord Indra, Kroncha accidentally stepped on the toes of Muni Vamadeva, who was a learned saint. Muni Vamadeva thought that Kroncha had done so intentionally and grew enraged and cursed Kroncha to become a mouse. Terrified, Kroncha fell to his knees and pleaded for mercy. This subdued Muni Vamadeva's anger. He said that his curse could not go in vain, but that Kroncha would meet Lord Ganesha and become his vehicle. That way he would also become worthy of worship even by Gods. And so it was. Kroncha was transformed into a mouse by the curse of Vamadeva Muni and fell into the hermitage of Maharshi Parashar. Kroncha's Terror Kroncha, however, was no ordinary mouse. In fact, he was as big as a mountain and frightening to all who beheld him. He caused a hell lot of trouble and destroyed everything in his path. He became another name of terror for all the people on Earth.
At this time Lord Ganesha was invited to Rishi Parashar's ashrama and was being taken care of by him and his wife Vatsala. Hearing of the gigantic mouse and the terror it created, Lord Ganesha decided to confront Kroncha. Ganesha unleashed one of his weapons: a pasha (noose), which he sent flying in the direction of Kroncha. The pasha was so radiant its light filled the entire universe. Pasha chased the mouse and looped around his neck and brought Kroncha to Ganesha's feet. Thus, Kroncha asked for forgiveness and Lord Ganesha accepted him as His mount. 🐘🕉🌀🐀🎨🙏

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. 🕉 Namaste Beautiful Souls. It's transformation Tuesday. 🌀👁🌀Yes, Life is always changing and flowing. Everything that is happening everywhere is happening right now. There are an infinite amount of possibilities, and infinite things you could be experiencing. No matter what you may choose to think or feel, you are not a victim of your circumstances, you are not a victim of some person, some relationship, or some memory. You are the creator of your destiny. Infinite possibilities lie dormant within you. You are a storehouse of all possibilities, an ocean of potentially. What you choose to create is up to you. You and you alone color the canvas of your life, and how and what you choose to color is your responsibility. Think about that for a moment. You are shaping your life with every thought and action. The understanding and experience of other people does not have to be your own experience. You choose. You decide how you wish to live and by recognizing this fact, taking accountability for your actions, and embodying your true nature, you can create a life that is full of freedom, authenticity, and happiness. If these words resonate with you, don't just let them be another concept to store in your mind. Let them be a reminder that right now, not later, but now is the best time to decide that you are going to take responsibility for your existence, for the energy you put out into the universe, and for creating the life you wish to live! 💙🕉👁📿🔱🐍💀🌷🌀🌿🌙🐚🔔🎨
