Lord Shiva as Supreme Being in Hinduism

In Hinduism, Lord Shiva is regarded as the representation of the Supreme Being. He is known as the third element in the Hindu Trinity  (Trimurti), the other two members being Lord Brahma - the creator and Lord Vishnu - the protector. Shiva is the destructive form of the Almighty. As the cycle of destruction and recreation is always in a circle, Shiva’s primary responsibility is maintaining the life cycle. Scholars say, as the Mahakaal, Shiva destroys and dissolves everything into nothingness but as Shankara, he also reproduces that which has been destroyed and dissolved. His symbol of Lingam  or the phallus represents this reproductive power.

Lord Shiva as Supreme Being in Hinduism

Lord Shiva is also considered to be the most unique of all Hindu gods and also the God of all. A great ascetic, Shiva is the only godhead who is forever in deep meditation, totally absorbed in contemplation in His abode, Kailaasa Mountain in the great Himalaya. Lord Shiva is also said to be inseparable from Shakti - Parvati the daughter of Himavaan - Haimavati. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one - or the absolute state of being.

Shiva is often shown with many faces, as creator, destroyer and preserver in total command of the cosmos. He contains both good and evil. He is moody, free of inhibitions, easy to please, protector of the down trodden, and has the power to alter the laws of destiny. Thus, it is Lord Shiva is known as the God of mercy and kindness. He protects his devotees from all evil that are always around us. He blesses his followers with grace, knowledge and peace.

Embroidery Designs Patterns on Fabric

Hand worked textiles are inevitably popular in a country where labour is still relatively cheap. Crewel and crochet work is done all over India to produce lacy table linen and bedspreads. Exquisite embroidery in triumphant colours is the hallmark of village artisans who produce some of the most beautifully decorated cloths in the world. Gujarat is especially famous for its hand-worked fabrics. Soof embroidery with its long, flat stitch is much prized as is the patchwork seen in quilts, cushion covers and wall hangings. Embroidery here is not only done with thread, but cascades of sequins, twine, wire and cowrie shells are also incorporated into the work.

Bedroom Decorating Home Decor Bedding Collections

The bedding industry continues to woo us as everybody, including high fashion designers, jumps on the bandwagon. However, your choice must be governed by personal taste, your budget and some knowledge about what you are buying.

Most people who can offered them want 100% cotton bed linen with a high thread count because they have a cool silky feeling. The ultimate are 100% cotton sateen bed linens with 250 to 340 thread count. As the name implies sateen has a sheen to the finish that feel sensuous and luxurious next to the skin.

color preferences are changing too. Traditionally solid whites, neutrals and pastels were popular and considered safe decorating choices. Now customers are reaching for bolder , more dramatic colours and more daring designs.

Patchwork Quilts for Home Decoration

Patchwork Quilts are very popular everywhere because there is a wide selection available in a variety of colours and patterns. For those who are not looking for cosy, there are quilts that suit   even trendy tastes and more sophisticated palates as well. Comforter is just another name for quilt. In colder climates it replaces duvet. You hardly need both unless the temperature is near zero. Since a bulky comforter is troublesome to wash and dry, a top sheet is needed to keep it clean.

Ganesha - God of Wisdom and Remover of all Obstacles

Ganesha is the benevolent and benign god of wisdom and remover of all obstacles. As the bestower of Siddhi, success, he is one of the most beloved gods of the Hindu pantheon, adored by his devotees in spite of his elephant head and single tusk. Gentle, calm and propitious, he epitomises prudence and is also a patron of literature.

In the Vedas, Ganesha began as Ganapati, lord of Ganas, the group of minor deities who serve the angry god Rudra. Originally the Ganas were the turbulent hosts of Rudra and were usually invoked to avoid misfortune and ward off evil.However, over the years he has become a deity with his own cult, temples, and festivals. His worshippers are called Ganapatyas and hymns to his praise  are found in the Ganapati Prakarana of the Yajnavalkya Samhita and sects worshipping Ganesha had appeared by the time of the Guptas. His special festival is Ganesha Chaturthi in the month of Ashvin just after the monsoons, when giant images are worshipped, especially in Maharashtra.

Shree Hanuman Brass Statues from ShalinCraft

Hanuman is the ever-living (Chiranjeevi) son of Lord Vayu and remains a very popular deity among Hindus. A bachelor and a fiercely loyal devotee himself (to Rama), his heroics in the war of Ramayan have inspired several tales of Indian mythology. Hanuman is the only character that appears in both the Hindu epics, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat, which are spread across millennia.

This Hanuman, who possesses ocean-like unfathomable knowledge and virtue, incomparable might and earth-like steadfastness, is known and worshipped primarily as the redeemer in crisis : ‘Ko nahi janat hai jaga mein Kapi Sankata-mochana nama tinharo’ – who knows not in the world, O Monkey-god, redeemer in crisis is thy name. And, the laudation is least exaggerated. In theology or tradition of devotion, no god of any pantheon in India is venerated so much for redeeming in crisis as Hanuman. As occasions of misfortune outnumber those of happiness in life, mankind looks more to him who redeems from misfortune rather than him who bestows happiness.

God Hanuman Statues at ShalinCraft Stores:-

Hanuman, the redeemer, is hence more widely worshipped and has a larger number of shrines dedicated to him than even Rama, his master. Hanuman’s power to redeem is not a mere theological conceptualisation or a believer’s hypothesis, his life, as it reveals in different sources, is its example. In Rama-katha – story of Rama’s life, which is broadly also the story of Hanuman’s life, this emissary and servant of Rama often rises above his master at least in the face of a crisis.

Whatever Rama’s attributes as the supreme God or Vishnu’s incarnation, when broken hearted he wandered in search of Sita, Hanuman came to his aid. He not only pledged to his cause himself, Kishkindha’s monkey king Sugriva, his entire army and ministers, and discovered Sita but also initiated efforts for her recovery by waging a psychological war against Ravana. He put Lanka into flames leaving Lankans panicky, and brought to Rama’s fold Ravana’s brother Vibhishana without whose aid Rama’s victory over Ravana would not be so easy.

Gautama Buddha, the Founder of Buddhism

Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is believed to be the ninth avatar of Vishnu. The inclusion of the teacher of a heterodox sect that was critical of the Brahmanical religion in the Vishnu pantheon often surprises people.

Gautama Buddha, the Founder of Buddhism

The inclusion of the Buddha as an avatar is in fact a continuation of an old tradition of absorbing and redefining any cult or belief that rose to challenge the mainstream Hindu system. It had begun with the Dravidina Shiva, when the Puranas claimed him as a god and continued with the evolution of the Mother Goddess and local cults around the worship of snakes and monkeys.

What is most intriguing about the surprising choice of the Buddha as an avatar is the way myths were created to justify his inclusion, in spite of the fact that his teachings were critical of the role of the priesthood and of the caste system. It also reflects the Hindu tradition of worship whatever is good on this earth. A simple tolerance that makes them pray at Sufi shrines and go on pilgrimages on Urs festivals. It is this generous ability to absorb and transform that made Gautama Buddha an avatar of Vishnu.

Lord Buddha Statues at ShalinCraft Stores:-

Every living being has the same basic wish – to be happy and to avoid suffering. Even newborn babies, animals, and insects have this wish. It has been our main wish since beginning less time and it is with us all the time, even during our sleep. We spend our whole life working hard to fulfill this wish.
Since this world evolved, human beings have spent much time and energy improving external conditions in their search for happiness and a solution to their many problems. What has been the result?

Instead of their wishes being fulfilled, human suffering has continued to increase while the experience of happiness and peace is decreasing. This clearly shows that we need to find a true method for gaining pure happiness and freedom from misery.

At last, despite all odds, Krishna, succeded in killing the tyrant king of Mathura, Kansa, and peace was restored in the region.

Bedroom Decorating Home Furnishings

All bedrooms must be comfortable, and in India this primarily means cool, so every Indian house has an assortment of fans and tables, pedestals and ceilings. A whirring fan is often is only movement in the stillness of a decnse hot afternoon or long summer night, when the eagerly awaited dawn arrives on the wings of songbirds. Nights are permeated by a lazy heat but mornings are fresh and peaceful with a latent expectant energy.

It is reassuring to awake to see something dear to the heart and many traditional Hindus hang an image of their favorite deity on the wall opposite the bed so it is first thing they see in the morning. The bedroom is also used to display favorite objects like statuettes, colored glass bottles and bowls, carved or enamelled boxes, and paintings depicting scenes from the epics.

Care of Carpets and Rugs

Care for carpets and rugs, vacuum them frequently especially when they are put down in busy areas. Always vacuum them in one direction with the nap and be careful not to suck up the fringe. They will also need cleaning from time to time. This not only makes them looks better, it gives them a longer life since ground in dirt wears away the fibres. Small rugs that are hard to vacuum can be brushed softly, but do not brush the fringed edges as this destroys the fringe. Roll up rugs when you wash the floor because the edges of the rugs absorb dirt from a wet mop or scrubbing cloth. At least once a week, check under rugs. If mildew is present, launder rugs that are washable; and place those that are not washable in the sunshine, mildewed side up. If the floor seems damp, roll up the rugs and let the floor dry thoroughly before replacing them.
