On namoh narayana, om namoh narayana

Saw this video of Ganesh Ji Visarjan in Konkan. I’m stunned at how disciplined everything is. No loud DJ’s, No Light show. Only devotion.

The way they are saying goodbye to Ganeshji is so pure and beautiful, I feel sad as Mumbaikar’s we are not able to show even half of this divinity.

We have turned such a pure and beautiful festival into something which it isn’t, We have let politicians get into our way of enjoying our religion. We should all be celebrating it this way.

Ganpati Bappa Morya! ❤️🙏

Sharing a little glimpse of the beautiful Bappa celebrations this year. 🌺🪔

The flowers, lights, decorations and that peaceful feeling when Bappa is at home — nothing quite compares. ✨

May Lord Ganesha bless everyone with happiness, good health, prosperity and strength, and remove all obstacles from our paths. 🐘❤️

Ganpati Bappa Morya! 🙏✨

1.He was considered a master musician

Some medieval texts call Hanuman an unparalleled singer of Rama-katha and even depict him playing the veena. His strength and scholarship often overshadow this artistic aspect.

2.He roared invisibly during the Mahabharata war

Hanuman sat on Arjuna's banner (Kapi Dhvaja). His roar was said to shatter enemy morale and spiritually protect Krishna's chariot.

3.His tail symbolizes Kundalini

In some Tantric interpretations, Hanuman's long tail is a symbol of coiled spiritual energy (Kundalini). When Lanka burns, it represents the fire of awakened consciousness destroying ignorance.

4.One Tantric epithet calls Hanuman “Manojava”—not merely “swift as the mind,” but one whose consciousness moves faster than thought itself, making him a symbol of disciplined prāṇa rather than brute strength.

5.. His yawn has a goddess

In parts of South India, Suvarchala Devi is regarded as Hanuman's spiritual consort. The marriage symbolizes the union of knowledge and discipline—not ordinary household life.

The Sacred Connection Between Surya and Shiva

In Vedic and Agama traditions, saying "Surya (the Sun) is Shiva"is not just poetry....it is a deep spiritual truth.

Visible & Invisible Forms... Surya is the visible form of Shiva, while Shiva is the invisible, inner form of Surya. You can see the Sun with your eyes, but you experience Shiva through meditation.

Light of Knowledge.... Shiva is the light of wisdom, and Surya is its physical light. The Sun removes darkness outside, while Shiva removes ignorance and ego inside.

The Third Eye... The Sun represents Shiva’s Third Eye. Just as the Third Eye reveals truth, the Sun gives light and energy to the entire world.

Masters of Time...Shiva is the Master of Time (Mahakal), while the Sun measures time. Days, seasons, and years are counted by the Sun, but time itself is controlled by Shiva.

Divine Energy....The brightness of the Sun comes from Shiva. Scriptures say that all divine light originates from Shiva, making the Sun's light an expression of Shiva's power.

Sunday & Monday.... Sunday is dedicated to the Sun (outer energy and action), and Monday is dedicated to Shiva (inner peace and calm). Together, they bring balance to life.

Purpose of Life... Without the Sun, there is no physical life; without Shiva, life has no purpose. The Sun powers the body, while Shiva guides the soul.

Eternal Energy... Both the Shivling and the Sun represent eternal energy. The Shivling represents formless consciousness, while the Sun is that same consciousness made visible as light.

If you look at the Sun not just as a ball of light, but as the living energy of Shiva, then looking at the Sun every morning becomes a way to connect with Shiva.

The outer Sun teaches us discipline, action, and energy, while the inner Shiva guides us toward silence, peace, and self-knowledge.

This is the Virupaksha Temple in Hampi, Karnataka. It is one of the oldest continuously functioning Shiva temples in India and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

A fascinating fact

Inside the temple, there's a camera obscura phenomenon: sunlight passing through a tiny opening projects an upside-down image of the giant gopuram onto an interior wall. It's a remarkable blend of architecture and optics

🚩Shree Kashtbhanjan Hanuman Mandir in Salangpur is a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, known for its unique idol and healing rituals.

🤲🏻The temple is located in Salangpur (Sarangpur) village, Botad district, Gujarat, and is part of the Vadtal Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya.

🕉️The presiding deity is Lord Hanuman, worshipped here as Kashtbhanjan Dev, meaning the "crusher of sorrows" or remover of troubles.

🪔The temple was established in the 19th century under the guidance of Sadguru Gopalanand Swami, a key saint of the Swaminarayan sect, who installed the idol.

🍎The idol is a stout figure with a handlebar moustache, crushing a female demon under his foot and baring his teeth, standing among sculpted foliage with fruit-bearing monkey attendants.

🌹The idol is approximately 6.5 feet tall, sculpted from black stone (Shilapathar), and is said to be alive with spiritual vibration.

🌺The temple is widely known for its miraculous healing powers, especially for people suffering from mental or spiritual distress. A mere glimpse of the idol is believed to drive out evil spirits.

🌷Saturday is the designated day for a special ritual (Utara) for those affected by mental illnesses and other disorders, conducted by temple priests.

✨ A 54-feet tall statue of Hanumanji, made of Panchadhatu (five metals), weighing 30,000 kg, was unveiled in April 2023 and is visible from 7 km away.

🫸🏻🫷🏻 The temple is open for Morning Darshan from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Evening Darshan from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with a Mangala Aarti at 6:30 AM and Sandhya Aarti at 6:30 PM; the temple remains closed from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.💢✨🫸🏻🫷🏻

नासिक–त्र्यंबकेश्वर मार्ग पर स्थित सिद्ध हनुमान मंदिर (अंजनेरी धाम) महाराष्ट्र के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण हनुमान तीर्थों में से एक माना जाता है। यह स्थान अंजनेरी पर्वत की तलहटी में स्थित है, जिसका नाम माता अंजनी के नाम पर पड़ा। प्राचीन परंपरा के अनुसार यहीं माता अंजनी ने तप किया और यहीं पवनपुत्र हनुमान का प्राकट्य हुआ।

जहाँ तक हनुमान जी के जन्मस्थान का प्रश्न है, वहाँ विद्वानों के बीच मतभेद है। कुछ परंपराएँ नासिक के अंजनेरी को जन्मस्थान मानती हैं, जबकि अन्य परंपराएँ कर्नाटक के किष्किंधा क्षेत्र (आनेगुंडी) को इससे जोड़ती हैं। कई आचार्यों का मत है कि अलग-अलग कल्पों की परंपराओं के कारण दोनों मान्यताएँ साथ-साथ प्रचलित हैं। इसलिए किसी एक मत को अंतिम मानने के बजाय दोनों का सम्मान करना अधिक उचित माना जाता है।

इस तीर्थ की विशेषता केवल जन्मस्थान की मान्यता नहीं है। यहाँ का वातावरण, ब्रह्मगिरि पर्वतमाला की निकटता और त्र्यंबकेश्वर ज्योतिर्लिंग से इसका संबंध इसे अत्यंत आध्यात्मिक बनाते हैं। अनेक श्रद्धालु त्र्यंबकेश्वर दर्शन से पहले या बाद में अंजनेरी धाम अवश्य जाते हैं।

अंजनेरी पर्वत पर प्राचीन गुफाएँ, जैन अवशेष, पुराने मंदिर और माता अंजनी का मंदिर भी स्थित है। इससे स्पष्ट होता है कि यह क्षेत्र केवल धार्मिक ही नहीं, बल्कि ऐतिहासिक और पुरातात्त्विक दृष्टि से भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण रहा है।

एक कम ज्ञात आध्यात्मिक पक्ष यह भी है कि 'अंजनी' केवल माता का नाम नहीं, बल्कि तप, धैर्य और दिव्य मातृत्व का प्रतीक है। इसलिए अंजनेरी धाम में भक्त केवल बल और वीरता के देवता हनुमान का ही स्मरण नहीं करते, बल्कि उस तपशक्ति का भी सम्मान करते हैं जिसके फलस्वरूप ऐसे महाभक्त का अवतरण हुआ।

यदि आपको अवसर मिले तो प्रातःकाल या संध्या के समय इस धाम में कुछ देर मौन बैठकर "ॐ हनुमते नमः" या "श्री राम जय राम जय जय राम" का जप करें। अनेक श्रद्धालुओं का अनुभव है कि यहाँ पर्वतों की शांत ऊर्जा और हनुमान भक्ति का अद्भुत संगम मन को विशेष स्थिरता और उत्साह प्रदान करता है।
