Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. 🕉 Namaste Beautiful Souls. It’s time for Today Vibes 🌀👁🌀 Yes, peace and calmness is a human superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your thoughts clean and your heart at peace, which instantly gives you an upper hand regardless of your circumstances. Thus, the biggest and most complex obstacle you will ever have to overcome is your own mind. If you can overcome that, you can overcome almost anything. And by overcoming means learning to effectively control your emotional responses to life’s unexpected tests. Because most of your deepest pain and frustration on a daily basis will come from the way you respond, not the way life is. High stress, relentless worry over work and life, and various forms of social anxiety are all a part of the modern way of being. Most of us just don’t feel any sense of peace or calm throughout the day, and are therefore depleted of energy and effectiveness in almost everything we do. Calmness begins the moment you take a deep breath and choose not to allow another person or event to control your thoughts. You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become in this moment. Let go. Be here. No matter what, you can always fight the battles of just today. It’s only when you add the infinite battles of yesterday and tomorrow that life gets overly complicated. Remember, you alone get to choose what matters and what doesn’t. The meaning of everything in your life has precisely the meaning you give it. Most of the time the problem is not the problem, the problem is the incredible amount of over thinking and over analyzing you’re doing with the problem. So Pause, and breathe, again. What you focus on grows. Focus on positivity. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. So think positive; and your life will be positive! 👁🕉🔱🐚💙🐍🌙💀📿🌀🔔💛🙏

Endless and awesome are the glories of Lord Shiva, who is always given the prime place in Hinduism. Hindu scriptures describe him as the supreme master who is the lord of entire creation. Lord Shiva is a timeless entity who has brought this universe into existence through his will. He is the final source in which everything culminates after destruction. The form of Shiva conceived in Hinduism is majestic and awe inspiring. He is the highly benevolent one always interested in the welfare of his devotees. So pray to him.
Praying to God does not have to be in a specific way. Worshiping God is a connection of the heart. It is from within. If you do hours of pooja without concentration or bhakti, it is a waste. The main motive of worshiping God is to remove worldly desires and become focused on one Supreme and understand the truth. Your heart should be pure, help the needy, show mercy to animals and to everyone around you. But if you sitting for worship and your heart contains malice, then your devotion is no good. Remove all evil from heart and mind. Sit Infront of God, thank him for countless blessings. Devotion and surrendering is the key. When you surrender completely to God, life gets easy.
There are no rules for worshipping Shiva. Shiva is very simple and kind god. Offer him anything with love ; flowers, fruit or even leaf, he will happily accept it. If you do not have Shivling at home, you can mentally worship Shiva. That's Shiva Manasa Puja, worshipping him in your mind, contemplating, either on his form or idol or photo. The rules, procedure have their value, but devotion and surrendering is the key. Serve and love Shiva like a mother, father, spouse or a friend.
It is preferable to have bath and perform the Puja everyday at same time and place. Preferably face east or north. If someday you cannot perform at the normal time, instead of skipping its better to perform anytime. You can do Shiva Abhishek with Panchamrit Or simple Water will do. Shiva will be pleased either way! 👁🕉🐘🔱🌀💀🌙🐍⌛️🐚📿🔔🎨🏞

In Hinduism, Shiva is considered one the three highest aspects of Brahman and identified with the universal function of destruction. He is often shown draped in tiger skin and is depicted in many moods. He is often depicted as yogi or an ascetic , householder ; consort of Parvati (Umapati) and father of Ganesha and Skanda ( Kartikeya). Ganesha and Kartikeya are his divine sons, who also occupy an important place in the Hindu pantheon. Shiva loves his family and children as much as he loves his devotees. He also has an extended family of gods and ganas, who are very fond of him and who love to spend their time in his company. Which means one can learn from Shiva about family values, and the importance of loving and caring relationships.
Ganesha is usually mentioned first when it comes to Shivas sons, although there are versions which say Kartikeya is the eldest. In Shiva Purana and Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Kartikeya is seen as the elder son of Shiva, and Ganesha the younger.
Though, there are many famous tales associated with the birth of Ganesha, the most popular is that in which his mother Parvati prepares a statue from clay and blesses it with life. The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, is the remover of obstacles. Ganesha's name literally means the lord of Gana. He was entrusted by Shiva with the leadership of the Ganas, Shiva's dwarfish, rowdy retinue, in compensation for the loss of his human head. And declared that he will be worshipped first in the beginning of all religious activities for successful outcomes.
Lord Kartikeya is a much revered deity especially in South India. Kartikeya is quintessentially brave, intelligent, and perfection personified because of which he is worshipped as the god of war and victory. He is also the brave leader and was created to destroy demons, symbolising negative tendencies of human beings. Legend says that because Shiva and Parvati would shower Ganesha with more love, Kartikeya decided to leave Kailasa and move to the mountains in South and did not change his mind in spite of being urged by Shiva himself. And this is how he began to be worshipped in South India more than in North. 🐘🕉💀🌀🎨🙏🏻
