Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life.
Our deities depicted it very beautifully. Instead of just praying to God when
we are in some problems or reciting the Shlokas, we can learn from them and
find the answer to the impediments. We perform idol worship and have made our
mind that they are God so they can conquer the problems or any obstacles they
face. Instead see them as symbol for answering our issues. Also there must be
some hidden message given by the almighty to us through the photos we see of
them as God. If we say God is“Nirgun Nirakar” (which means virtue less and
formless God) then how can he be in so many shapes and sizes? May be He wants
us to learn something from the depictions.
Lets
take this picture. Elephant headed God. May be he wants us to protect animals
as we human being who can think should be the saviour of mother earth and her
children. Especially Elephant does not have any enemy in forest. Though being
such a huge body he never troubles anyone. This could also be a message for us
that be strong be confident but be down to earth.
This picture is especially for girls. If a
girl decides she can control a Lion and kill the evil around by herself.
Instead of depending on any man be self confident and fight wherever needed. This
picture depicts the power of a woman. She can handle so many things at a time. If
we relate it for today’s scenario, a woman can do a good career and also look
after her family at a same time.
Hanuman
as all know symbolize strength. He is also a great manager and a leader. He showed
it in Lanka episode. Lord Rama asked him only to find Sita. But he proactively
destroyed the place so that to show Ravana that his enemy is not someone ordinary.
Also by burning whole Lanka he made publicity of the unrighteous deed of Ravana.
Indra
the king of God. Though being a king he is anxious and uneasy always as he
feared that his throne is endangered. He got cursed too because of his deeds.
So this shows that be calm and contented with what we have with us. Don’t be
too anxious.
Lord
Rama, though we call him Lord he dint perform any miracles like typical Gods
did. He just had his bow and arrow and won every war he fought. He teaches us
man doesn’t need extraordinary powers to be good and be “Maryada purushottam”.
He faced every challenge a man faces in life. He studied the situation and
found the best answer for it.
