Divinity

  Lord Ganesa , also referred to as Ganapathy or Ganesha, is one of the best-loved gods in Hindu mythology. Being the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, strength, and stability, his life is steeped in the history of saints, rishis, and cosmic forces that govern the foundation of Hindu divinity. The Origin of Ganesa Ganesa was not the original biological son of Lord Siva and Goddess Parvathi. Rather, he was an esteemed saint in his former life, born under the Uthiradam nakshatra. His intense faith towards Lord Siva and his rigorous spiritual practices granted him salvation after demise. When his soul reached divine status, he came to be remembered as Aadhi Ganapathy, the original among the Ganapathys, and was proclaimed by Lord Siva as his prime divine son among the cosmic retinue. Lord Siva himself and Sri Parvathi achieved their godly form very close to 25,000 years ago. Ganapathy joined them some 15,000 years ago, and Lord Murugar, another illustrious rishi, achieved div...

  What is Srichakra? The Srichakra , or the Sri Yantra , is a geometrically sacred and mighty symbol of reverence in most nations. The ultimate means to spiritual advancement, it is believed to grant devotees the 16 auspicious gifts of life and ultimately achieve salvation. Its spiritual meaning on a deeper level is its connection with Brahma Gnana (cosmic energy knowledge) and Brahma Vidya (the art of managing cosmic energies, including the Ashtama Siddhis). Cosmic Energy and the Srichakra When mantras are recited—particularly during sacred fire ceremonies (Agni Puja)—the cosmic energies travel through breathing into brain cells. They get stored as cosmic energy memories. In the next life, a soul's existence and abilities greatly rely on these cosmic energy-handling capabilities. A lot of such capabilities can be perfected only in soul form, led by higher cosmic entities that guide the devotee towards emancipation. Relation with the Human Body Symbols such as the Vel (spear) and T...

  Lingam means identity or symbol. The worship of cosmic energy —the unseen force that pervades and sustains all life in the universe—is symbolized by the worship of the Lingam in ancient spiritual traditions, especially in Indian philosophy. The Lingam is more than just a religious artifact; it is a symbol of universal energy that echoes the atoms' and the universe's natural structure. It is frequently seen as an ellipsoid. What makes an ellipsoid? The Cosmic Form of Energy At the atomic level, electrons form an overall ellipsoidal structure by circling the nucleus in elliptical orbits. The upper part of the Siva Lingam, which represents the shape of this energy, provides a spiritual equivalent to this scientific observation. The Lingam's base holds the cosmic shape upright by acting as a platform or support. Therefore, worshiping a Siva Lingam is symbolic of worshiping cosmic energy , namely the elemental forces of fire (Si) and air (Va), which together are called Sivam. ...
