Dashavatar of Vishnu : Rama

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Parashuram

Image
  Series of Dashavatar : Avatar 6 : Parashuram Parashurama, the warrior with the axe.  He is son of Jamadagni and Renuka and was granted as boon, an axe after a penance to Shiva. He is the first Brahmin-Kshatriya in Hinduism, or warrior-sage, who had to follow the Dharma of both, a Brahmin as well as a Kshatriya. Once, when king Kartavirya Arjuna and his hunting party halted at the ashrama of Jamadagni, the father of Parashurama, and the sage was able to feed them all with the aid of the divine cow Kamadhenu. The king demanded the cow, but Jamadagni refused. Enraged, the king took it by force and destroyed the ashram. Parashurama then killed the king at his palace and destroyed his army. In revenge, the sons of Kartavirya killed Jamadagni. Parashurama took a vow to kill every Kshatriya on earth twenty-one times over, and filled five lakes with their blood. Ultimately, his grandfather, Rishi Rucheeka, appeared before him and made him halt. He is a chiranjeevi (immortal), and believed to

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Vaamana

Image
  Series of Dashavatar : Avatar 5 : Vaamana Vamana, the dwarf. The fourth descendant of Vishnu, Bali, with devotion and penance was able to defeat Indra, the god of firmament. This humbled the other deities and extended his authority over the three worlds. The gods appealed to Vishnu for protection and he descended as a boy Vamana. During a yajna (यज्ञ) of the king, Vamana approached him and Bali promised him for whatever he asked. Vamana asked for three paces of land. Bali agreed, and the dwarf then changed his size to that of a giant Trivikrama form. With his first stride he covered the earthly realm, with the second he covered the heavenly realm thereby symbolically covering the abode of all living beings. He then took the third stride for the netherworld. Bali realized that Vamana was Vishnu incarnate. In deference, the king offered his head as the third place for Vamana to place his foot. The avatar did so and thus granted Bali immortality and making him ruler of Pathala, the neth

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Narasimha

Image
  Series of Dashavatar : Avatar 4 : Narasimha Narasimha, the half-man/half-lion. Jaya and his brother Vijaya are cursed by the sage Sanaka when they stop him from seeing Vishnu, and will be reborn three times as demons (asura) to be killed by Vishnu. In their first demonic birth they become Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu. Hiranyakashipu persecuted everyone for their religious beliefs including his son who was a Vishnu follower. He was protected by Brahma, and could by no means be killed. Vishnu descended as an anthropomorphic incarnation, with the body of a man and head and claws of a lion. He disemboweled Hiranyakashipu, and brought an end to the persecution of human beings including his devotee Prahlada. 

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Varaha

Image
  Series of Dashavatar : Avatar 3 : Varaha Varaha, the boar. He appeared to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who had taken the Earth, or Prithvi, and carried it to the bottom of what is described as the cosmic ocean (much like in ether theory) in the story. The battle between Varaha and Hiranyaksha is believed to have lasted for a thousand years, which the former finally won. Varaha carried the Earth out of the ocean between his tusks and restored it to its place in the universe. 

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Koorma

Image
  Series of Dashavatar : Avatar 2 : Koorma Avataar Kurma, the giant tortoise.

Dashavatar of Vishnu : Matsya

Image
  The Dashavatara refers to the ten primary (i.e. full or complete) incarnations (avatars) of Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation which has Rigvedic origins. Vishnu is said to descend in the form of an avatar to restore cosmic order. The word Dashavatara derives from daśa, meaning 'ten', and avatar (avatāra), roughly equivalent to 'incarnation'. The list of included avatars varies across sects and regions, particularly in respect to the inclusion of Balarama (brother of Krishna) or Gautama Buddha. Though no list can be uncontroversially presented as standard, the "most accepted list found in Puranas and other texts is Krishna, Buddha. Most draw from the following set of figures, in this order : Matsya , Kurma , Varaha , Narasimha , Vamana , Parashurama , Rama , Krishna or Balarama , Buddha or Krishna and Kalki. In traditions that omit Krishna, often replaces Vishnu as the source of all avatars. Some traditions include a regional deity such as Vithoba or Jaganna

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. The mind is everything. What you think you become. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. All that we are is the result of what we have thought. Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. You only lose what you cling to. It is better to travel well than to arrive.                                                                  -Budha

Deva Sri Ganesha 🙏

True love is magical, not magic. True love is faith. True love is reciprocal. True love is accepting. True love is a choice.❤️

What is True Love? Not brotherly love, not the love you feel for your children or your parents, but true love? The kind of love that keeps two souls connected until the end of their lives? As I sit here looking back on my life, I’ve noticed my definition of love has changed. In some ways, it has changed slightly. In others, drastically. I won’t begin to assume I have the perfect answer. I have no psychology degrees that qualify me to define true love for you. What I have is a lifetime of both happiness and pain that have defined for me, today, what true love is. When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the yearning to be close to the other. The presence is felt through a held hand, a voice heard and the sight of a smile. Even through a simple touch. Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another. This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they are not around. Your

Happy girls are the prettiest.

Happy girls are the prettiest. Wild woman are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. Practice listening to your intuitions your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth. She is like the sun, She knows her place in the world - She will shine again regardless of all the storms and changeable weather She wouldn't adjust her purpose for things that pass. She has fought many wars, most internal. The ones that you battle alone, for this, she is remarkable. She is a survivor. You can love her with everything you have and she still wont belong to you. She will run wild with you, beside you with everystep but let me tell you something about women who run with wolves, their fierce hearts dont settle between walls and their i

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

Image
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. You can be changed by what happens to you. You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely being somebody else. One should be two things: who and what you want. Don't compromise with yourself - you're all you have. If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly ar

"Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we have touched..."

"Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we have touched..." It's really important to have those people in your life who push you to be better, to be different. You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not the words, that matter. Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.  Throughout life, people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad some times. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too. So just let them pass by you. Be you. Contrastingly, Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Some people in your life touch you so very deeply that you drown totally

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. Women’s empowerment isn’t just a catchy slogan, it’s a key factor in the social and economic success of nations. When women succeed, everyone benefits. Women’s rights and gender equality have come a long way. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others. Woman must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression. Women's empowerment is intertwined with respect for human rights. The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description. If women understood and exercised their power they could remake the world. Do not live someone else's life and someone else's idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womenhood is every single girl born. There's something so specia

You are enough just as you are...

You are enough just as you are... "F.L.Y" : First Love Yourself Practicing self-love and self-care can seem extravagant—especially when we feel like our jobs are beating us down or we’re not doing enough for the kids or our houses are a mess. Instead of allowing the world to dictate how we feel about ourselves, focusing on self-care, positive encouragement, and self-love can help increase our self-esteem and self-confidence. Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves. When you make a mistake, respond to yourself in a loving way rather than a self-shaming way. We just need to be kinder to ourselves. If we treated ourselves the way we treated our best friend, can you imagine how much better off we would be? Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s defi

It is impossible to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good one.

Image
You blink and they are toddlers. Then teens. And then they are parents, resembling the you once were. So soak it all up. Hold them in your arms as they fall asleep. Read that book they requested for the tenth time. Snuggle in tight when all they want to do is hug you – feel that small body against your own. Embrace the exhaustion. The hard days. The overwhelming. Because although at times you might go a little crazy, motherhood is an incredible journey filled with immeasurable love and happiness. It is impossible to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good one. There is nothing else in the world like the love of a mother. It is a love that knows no bounds, no shame, and will crush down anything that stands in its path. It’s a special bond that spans the years. Through laughter, worry, smiles and tears. A sense of trust that can’t be broken, a depth of love sometimes unspoken, A life long friendship built on sharing, Hugs and kisses, warmth and caring

Just to put things into perspective, Bhagat Singh became a martyr at just 23, in 1931. 16 years before India eventually won her freedom from British rule.  To have died at such a young age, so many years before our freedom was sealed, he had done quite a lot in the years he was alive to rightfully come to be known as the greatest freedom fighter India has ever seen. Portraying Bhagat Singh. The greatest freedom fighter India has ever seen.
