HINDU GODS
All Hindu Gods are the symbolic representations of various
energies, activities of the day to day life of the human
beings. If they are understood to the inner level true
meaning one can find out that all religions are describing
only one thing, the God or the Super soul.
First system: Lord Siva means Jeeva (the life force).
Goddess Sakthi means energy. The basic meaning
is if you are having life you will have energy. Siva
has given His left side to her represents the blood
and the heart is the main source of energy. His
eldest son Ganapathy (meaning the origin of all
living beings) represents the moolathara of the body
(the sexual glands). He is having the elephant head
and his vehicle (vahanam) is moonjuru. (one of the
species of rat). It describes that even though He
is having a small vehicle he is doing powerful things.
Naturally one can understand that the sexual organs are
the reason for crores and crores of living beings.
His youngest son Lord Subrahmaniam which means
white stones. (subra means white and mani means
round shaped stone). He is in mountains (places
of height). It represents the Penial gland of the body
(which is in the head) (which is in height).
Penial gland is white and is round in shape.
One can easily understand that the penial gland is
in height and He symbolically represents the knowledge.
If you wish that your life force and health is important
then pray Lord Siva and Sakthi to get the longevity,
health and energy to live in this world.
Second system: Lord Vishnu (narayanan) symbolizes
the worldly pleasures. Narayanan means the best
man among the human births. His wife Lakshmi
(origin for luxurious) is the goddess for the wealth.
He is lying in a bed of Adisheshan (the old and ancient
snake). It is having five heads represent five senses.
If you wish to get the wealth and to live comfortably
then pray the Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
Third system: Lord Brahma symbolizes wisdom.
His wife Saraswathi is the goddess for knowledge.
Both are sitting in a lotus with thousand petals.
(symbolizes the brain (sahasraram). Saraswathy
is playing Veena a musical instrument (represents
the knowledge.) If you wish to get the knowledge
then pray Lord Brahma and Saraswathi.
What people has done in due course is they think
that knowledge is not so important as life and wealth
they forget the Brahma and Saraswathi. Brahma and
Saraswathi are in the prahar (the path around the
sanctum sanctoriam) of the temples of Siva.
One or two separate temples are there for them now.
But now people give importance to education and
knowledge also and they begin to pray these
deities also.
