At the end of the day, before you close your eyes, breathe deeply, appreciate where you are, and be grateful for what you have.

At the end of the day, before you close your eyes, breathe deeply, appreciate where you are, and be grateful for what you have. Life is good. We have amazing family members, friends, and other loved ones who love us back. Learn to appreciate what a gift that is. We have good health, which is another gift. We have eyes, with which to enjoy the amazing gifts of sunsets and nature and beauty all around us. We have ears, with which to enjoy music–one of the greatest gifts of them all.

We may not have all these things, because we can’t have everything, but we certainly have plenty to be grateful for. To an extent, we know this already, and yet we forget. It happens to the best of us.

“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. “ Charles dickens

Even in times of uncertainty, even when life seems far from perfect – it’s always important to keep things in perspective. You are alive. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night. You didn’t go to sleep outside. You had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning. You know someone who loves you. You have access to clean drinking water. You have access to medical care. You have access to the Internet. Some might say you are incredibly wealthy and privileged, so remember to be thankful for all the things you do have.!! Love, light & peace 🗿🌼🌈🌀👁🔔🌷🍂🕉🐍🔱🐚🌸🌙🏔⌛️💀🌻🍃📿🔆🌺🌿🌈

Hinduism sees the Divine present in all existence.

Hinduism sees the Divine present in all existence. The deepest single spiritual truth presented through the Vedas is that Brahman pervades the entire universe. This divine reality, or its essential nature, is present in all living beings, eternal, and full of bliss. Brahman is understood as the cause of creation, as well as its preservation, and dissolution and transformation, all done in a constant, repeating cycle.

Within Hinduism there is a broad spectrum of understandings about the nature of Brahman. Some Hindus believe that Brahman is infinite and formless, and can be worshipped as such, or in different forms. Other Hindus believe that the Divine is infinite and has a transcendental form. For example, some Vaishnavas believe that the one supreme form is Krishna, while Shaivites call this form Shiva.

Because Hindus believe that Brahman can take form, they accept that there are a variety of ways in which all human beings can connect with the Divine. This universal Divinity is worshipped in both male and female forms. The female form is known as Devi, which is a manifestation of Shakti. Other forms combine male and female aspects together such as Ganesha or Hanuman ji. Each of these forms has a symbolic meaning.

Hindus pray to different forms of Brahman as manifestations of particular divine qualities or powers. For example:

Shri Ganesha is honored as the remover of obstacles and honored for his great wisdom, and is often invoked before beginning any important task or project;

Maa Saraswati is the Goddess associated with learning and wisdom;

Maa Lakshmi is worshipped as the Goddess of Prosperity. God is believed to have the taken human form of Rama to show people how to live the path of Dharma.

Shri Krishna is said to have come to eradicate evil and protect good.

Lord Shiva is worshipped as the lord of time and change. Furthermore, the prominence of each of the aspects of the Divine varies depending on the lineage of the individual Hindu.!! 🍂📿🍂🌼📿🍁🍂🌼📿🍁📿🌼📿🍁🍂🌼📿🍁🍂🌼📿🍁📿🌼🌼📿🍁🍂🌼📿

Shiva is that from where everything has come, everything is sustained in it and everything dissolves into it—that is Shiva or the Shiva Tattva.

Shiva is that from where everything has come, everything is sustained in it and everything dissolves into it—that is Shiva or the Shiva Tattva. There is no way that you can ever step out of Shiva at any time because the creation is made up of Shiva. Your mind, body, everything is made from the Shiva Tattva. That is why Shiva is called ‘Vishwaroopa’, which means that the entire universe is his form. Creation is a mix of opposite values - positive and negative attributes. The universe has fire and water, goodness and evil, and so on. Shiva is present in all opposing values. This is why Shiva is called Rudra (fierce) and at the same time, he is called Bholenath (the most innocent). He is called Sundaresha (beautiful) and also Aghora (terrifying).

A famous Shiva prayer describes Shiva as Gowram (fiery), and in the same sentence, he is called Karunavataram (the embodiment of compassion). Shiva is beyond the sleeping, dreaming and waking states of consciousness. Shiva is samadhi - the fourth state of consciousness which is achieved through meditation. In samadhi, the mind is in total equanimity. It is peaceful and alert at the same time. It is the Lord, it is the most powerful, it is all over, spread everywhere. There is no place that it is not. It is that space, that consciousness where all the knowledge is present. It was never born and it has no attributes. It is a state of Samadhi where there is nothing, just the inner sky of consciousness. That is Shiva.! ✨🌈👁🌷📿🌼🕉🔱🐍🐚🔆🍂🌀🏔🌸🌙⌛️💀🌿🌺🔔🎨🌻🙏✨
