Laxmi is Loyal to Whom…?

Image
Laxmi is the daughter of Puloman, the king of Asura. That is why she is also called Pulomi. She is daughter of Puloman and sister of other Asura. Asura`s dwelling place is netherworld. Everyone needs Laxmi. Laxmi is Chanchala , she can`t stay at one place for a longer time. Deva (gods) and Asura are always in conflicts. Asura want to hold Laxmi and gods want to release Laxmi from Asura. Asura never allow Laxmi to go away with gods. And, without Laxmi, both gods and humans lose their splendor. In order to get Laxmi, Asura need to be attacked and defeated by gods. Gods attack on Asura lead by Indra with the help of lord Vishnu. They defeat Asura either by vigor or trick to get Laxmi.  Laxmi comes out from netherworld, in the form of crops, fruits, minerals, chemicals, petroleum etc. For that, soil need to be toiled, rocks to be melted, ocean to be churned out, crops to be yanked and thrashed. This process of violent is symbolized as killing the Asura to let Laxmi come...

Ganesha`s Immersion Annoys his Mother

Lord Siva chopped Vinayak`s head and replaced it with Indra`s elephant head. Vinayak was a creation of Shakti (Parvati) without lord Shiva`s intervention.   Since Vinayak was created by Shakti, hence no one was able to control or defeat him except lord Shiva. Once he was guarding his mother at her order, and he had defeated all Gana and gods who tried to fight with him. Lord Shiva has capability to control Shakti. That s why Shiva got into the matter, and in order to control petulant Vinayak, who ignored to recognize his father, and angered Shiva severed his head. Neither Shakti nor her creation wants to be domesticated by anyone. Vinayak was created by matter. Parvati symbolizes as matter. Vinayak was only associated with the matter, which Shiva did not like and chopped his head.  What it symbolizes …? Chopping his head and replacing it with bigger one, the elephant head, means, replacing his thought. By replacing his thought, he becomes the leader of Gana, he ...

An Employee with Five Bosses

In the Mahabharata, Draupati had five husbands, the Pandavas. Arjun, one of the Pandavas, won the hands of Draupati in the competition of archery. Draupati`s exaltation had not bound, because she was going to be the wife of the most valiant and vigor archer and warrior in the world at that time. Later, she realized that she is not the wife of one husband but five husbands, the Pandavas. She was aghast, and in this indignation, she remonstrated lord Krishna. Lord Krishna pacified her, saying, do not blame anyone, if you want to blame someone…., blame yourself. You got exactly what you wanted to get.  Lord Krishna elucidated …. In your previous life, you did a severe penance to lord Shiva and had asked for a husband with fourteen distinct qualities. Getting those fourteen qualities, what you had asked for, in a man in this mortal world is not possible at all. That`s why, you got five husbands, who, all together, possess those fourteen qualities.  She understood, ...

Prosperity without Perspiration is not Possible

Everyone in this world wants to be prosperous without any exception. But how many people are able to acquire the prosperity and enjoy that prosperity? In fact, very few persons. The majority has always misunderstood the meaning of the prosperity. Generally, people think that prosperity, means, lot of property against your name, heavy bank balance, powerful position in the society and nation etc. In sooth, this is not the meaning of the prosperity. The worldly persons understand, by earning heaps of money, they can be the owner of the prosperity. No… by this they can accumulate the arrogance, which is not the insignia of prosperity. Some understand, by holding powerful position, they can acquire the prosperity. No.. They can develop policy of discrimination among the humans, which drag away a person from prosperity. Some understand, by building numerous temples, by travelling pilgrimage, performing rituals and worship etc, they can be prosperous. No… even this is not suf...

In the search of Rama and Laxman, Hanuman approached to the Mahiravan`s kingdom. Mahiravan was about to sacrifice the duo in the front of the netherworld goddess. Hanuman started fighting with Mahiravan to get released Rama and Laxman, but Mahiravan was looking invincible due to one boon.  There, the five lamps were placed in five directions. In order to kill Mahiravan, the five lamps should be blown out at the same time. That was the boon, Mahiravan had.

To save the lives of Rama and Laxman, and to kill Mahiravan, Hanuman took five headed form and blown out all the five lamps at the same time and killed Mahiravan and rascued Rama and Laxman from his clamp. Why five lamps…? These five lamps ...
