Nandi, known as the Gatekeeper of Kailash and vehicle of Lord Shiva.

'Loyalty’ is a term that is both a positive and a difficult one at the same time. Positive because it makes loyal persons loved by people and, difficult because always maintaining loyalty in various situations can be a real challenge for them. But it is possible to overcome any situation if a person has loyalty along with ultimate devotion, love and fondness for another. The character with all these aspects reminds us of Nandi, known as the Gatekeeper of Kailash and vehicle of Lord Shiva.

Yes, it is true that Nandi is the vehicle of Lord Shiva and is also known as the gatekeeper of Kailash, but this is not the only definition by which the Nandi should be remembered. The way he devoted his life in serving Lord Shiva and his family, he has taken the place of the most trusted, faithful and dedicated personality in Hindu scriptures. Nandi is connected to Shiva by his birth. It was Shiva who was pleased with the years of prayer by sage Shilada and blessed him with Nandi as his son. Shilada found a boy Nandi while plowing the fields.

He was very happy in his life with Nandi until the two sages came to visit them and said that Nandi would only live for one year more. Aware of the fact that Henwas in this world because of Shiva and being always devoted to him, Nandi knew that if there was someone who could change his fate, it was only Lord Shiva.

Nandi knew that the pure faith and devotion can make anything possible and can be the ultimate way to get close to Lord Shiva. He didn't want to live a life without Lord Shiva. So when Shiva appeared before Nandi and asked what he wanted, Nandi asked if he could always serve Shiva. After seeing the most beautiful person in front of him, Nandi knew that he didnt want anything except for the opportunity to serve Shiva. It was Shiva who created Nandi. So he knew the desires of Nandi and also what he could do to keep his loyalty intact. Shiva blessed him with a garland and made him his vehicle and the protector of Kailash. Shiva also declared him to be the chief of the Ganas.! ✨🌼🕉🙏🏻👁🐍🌙💀🔔🌀🗿🌸🐚🔆📿🌿⏳🔱🙏✨

Are you often struggling with your self-confidence?

Are you often struggling with your self-confidence? You may feel like people are constantly judging you and it's driving you nuts. And Your shattered confidence is really taking a toll on you. What You need now more than ever is to learn how to walk in a more confident person’s footsteps, by changing the behaviors that continuously kill your confidence.”

Avoid this common toxic behaviour ; Disempowering yourself with weak self-talk.

“Why me? Why me?” That's the kind of self-talk that holds so many of us back. What we need to be thinking is, “Why not me? And why not NOW?”

But, again, so many of us feel like we have to wait: to be hired, to be good enough, to be chosen, to somehow be discovered.

Discover yourself! What you’re capable of achieving from this point forward is not a function of what happened in the past, or what other people think is possible for you. What you’re capable of achieving depends entirely on what you choose to do with your time and energy starting now.

In every situation you have ever been in, positive or negative, the one common thread is YOU. It is your responsibility, and yours alone, to recognize that regardless of what has happened up to this point in your life, you are capable of making choices to change your situation. And it all starts with changing the way you think about it. When you think better about your circumstances, you are able to live better in spite of them.! Love, light & Peace ✨🕉👁🔱⌛️🌺💀🐍🌙🌿🐚🔔🌀📿🔆🗿🌷🙏🏻✨

Lord Rama is referred as Maryada Purushottama, literally the Perfect Man or Lord of Self-Control or Lord of Virtue.

Lord Rama is referred as Maryada Purushottama, literally the Perfect Man or Lord of Self-Control or Lord of Virtue. He suffered no less, and lived an ascetic life thereafter. Rama's life and journey is one of perfect adherence to dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is pictured as the ideal man and the perfect human. Lord Rama stuck to Dharma in daily practice, even from His infancy. He is the personification of Dharma. There is no trace of Adharma, Vice, in him. His divine nature is revealed in Shaantha guna , calm temperament, and Karunaa rasa, feeling of love and affection.

When you meditate on Him and you are filled with love for all beings. Dwell on His story and you find all the agitations of your minds quietening in perfect calm. When Thaataki, the female demon, had to be killed, He argued, hesitated and desisted, until Sage Vishwaamithra convinced Him that she had to be liberated from a curse by His own arrow. That is a sign of His love and affection. Rama never provoked another in order to create a convenient excuse to destroy him. On the other hand, He gave the adversary every chance to be saved. He carried the message of Dharma to the Vaanars and the Raakshasas, as well as to sages like Jaabaali. He accepted the homage of Vibheeshana without demur and He announced that He was prepared to accept even Ravana, if only he repented his iniquity. "Sathyam vadha" (speak the truth), Rama stuck to truth, in spite of all temptations. "Dharmam chara" (practise virtue), He never deviated from the path. He did not waver or overstep. That was the strictness with which He kept the vow.! ✨🏹🕉👁📿🌀🏹🎨✨

Sri Padmanabha - Lord Vishnu

🔆🐚🌷 Sri Padmanabha - Lord Vishnu. 🌷🐚🔆

The painters portray Lord Vishnu like this - there is a sheer sagar (ocean of milk) with a very large cobra floating along the ocean. Within it’s coils is a sleeping Shri Vishnu. Suddenly a lotus begins growing from Shri Vishnu’s navel. When the lotus blooms, it is revealed that lord Brahma, a four headed demigod, is contained inside. Lord Brahma decides he needs to create, and meditates on.

Sheer sagar is the blissful mind, the mind in which waves of contentment arise.
The ocean of milk means that the environment is very balanced. Only when the environment is favorable can samadhi (deep meditation) happen. No matter how many Vedantas one reads, it is important to have a favorable environment.

The snake represents an awakened state of mind, kundalini shakti, that is within us.
When the kundalini shakti rises, the chaitanya shakti that lies within us, the infinite and eternal reigns. From the stomach of that infinite power, a lotus comes out effortlessly, from which Brahma appeared. Thus the creative power rose from there.

The consciousness rests in the blissful and awakened state of mind.

Blue colour body -
It means that the body is transparent as if it was not there. Whatever is infinity is represented by blue: sky is blue, ocean is blue, the great, the big, enormous depth and that bliss, that being- the soul.

Padmanabha In Sanskrit -- Padma = Lotus , Nabhi = Navel.
Padmanabha means whose navel is the size of lotus. Lord Vishnu is known as Sri Padmanabha.

The navel is also called the second brain. There are two brains in our body. One is the head and the other, the navel. It is called the solar plexus. The work that brain does is supported by the solar plexus. Half of the work is done by it. That is why when the stomach is upset, mostly there is chaos in the mind, there are a lot of thoughts in the mind.

So it is said, those who practice yoga sadhana have a blossomed solar plexus. The solar plexus grows to the size of an orange for those who do yoga sadhana and meditation.

Lord Vishnu is depicted lying down, and a lotus comes out of his navel, followed by Brahma. Creation came later, first the strength to nurture was born. (In Hindu philosophy, Shri Vishnu is the sustainer of the universe and Brahma is considered as the creator of the universe).

Many people believe that God is tired after working. No, no! For God, creation is effortless. Like for a housewife, making tea is effortless – she can talk, sing and still make the tea.
