Bull, lion , rat, peacock ; The vehicles of Lord Shiva, Maa Parvati, Ganesha, Kartikeya and the snakes worn on Shiva's body get along harmoniously, though they are in their original nature, antagonistic to each other. They all have different vahans like a Bull, a Mouse ,a Lion ,a Peacock as well as a Snake.

The lion, the vehicle of Parvati, is living in peace with the elephant, the form of Ganesha, and the bull, the vehicle of Shiva; the peacock, the vehicle of kartikeya is bearing no enmity towards the snake, the garland of Shiva.

Lord Shiva and his family is the best example of unity in diversity. It shows us how people from different background can stay at one place with peace and harmony. On Shivas head flows Ganga (WATER) and the same Shiva has third eye ( Fire ) which can burn any thing. Still they exist together eternally.

Shiva has a cobra in the neck. The vehicle of Kartikeya is Peacock which eats snakes, still they both live happily together. Shiva`s Vaahana Nandi and Parvati’s Vaahana Lion, they two are enemies but still living harmoniously. Similarly Ganesha is elephant headed and Parvati’s Vahana Lion is the Enemy of Elephant.

Lord Shiva himself is very versatile in nature. He is known as the God of Destruction while on other hand he is considered as the most soft-hearted Lord who gets pleased by his devotees very soon and thus called Bholenath. On the other hand Maa Parvati is extremely calm. Thus in the Shiva Parivar they all live in harmony with each other.

We should learn from Shivas family to coexist without interference, live harmoniously in peace, happiness and prosperity. Lord Shiva's family is the perfect example which shows how people having different mindset and different thinking, but still stay together as one family.

Jai Shiva Shakti Parivar ~ Shubh Prabhat !!
