Good question. A little background info first to put things in perspective. Brahman has no form. It is an experience. However, for upaasana certain forms are ascribed to it by Vedas which fully encapsulate the actual tatvam of Brahman. So when a certain form is chosen for upasana
I need your opinion on something else as well...

There is story of Camel being the vahanam of Hanuman... how true is it? Seems very prevalent in Telegu literature!

Seriyana loosu. This is why I said Eelam activists are better off doing kuthu rap instead of worrying about whether Shiva is Vedic or not. Then these same people say Om Namah Shivaya. Adding Om and Nama: automatically makes it a mantra.
**Long thread alert**
Mantras are only found in Vedas, not in the common tongue. Anyways, her perspectives matter zilch. What is more alarming is how a proper Thirumurai vakyam such as Anbe Sivam is being twisted and appropriated for nefarious agendas and how SM is brazenly peddling the same nonsense.
Yasya nishvasitam Vedaa: yo vedebhyo akhilam jagat | Nirmame tam aham vande vidyaatirtha Maheshvaram ||
One Whose very breath is the Veda using which the entire Creation was made, I bow down to Maheswara Who purifies with His wisdom.
So, if Vedas are really His own breath, how
can one draw stupid faux ethnic identities denying His indication in the Vedas? This has no rationale even to the self-proclaimed rationalists.
Let's attempt to understand what the naama Shiva means. I believe this foundation is important before we go on to understand any Naama vaibhavam. Do note that in SD, the Naama and the Naami are indifferent. In fact, Bhaktas consider the Naama to be greater since

Rig Veda the oldest only mentions Shiva twice. Common sense? Zoroastrianism.

Haha. Fool. On the day of Deepavali Amavasya, abhyangana snaana, pitru tarpanam, deepa daanam, ulka darsanam, and Lakshmi puja are performed. Deepa daana is not some Buddhist creation. The concept of even the wicks in a Deepam is highly Vedic, so it is impossible that what is
essentially a naasitka vaada will even promulgate something about Deepam, let alone Deepa Daanam. It is that time of the year again — an auspicious occasion of Deepavali marked by festivities, exchange of pleasantries, sumptuous food, crackers! and of course, Bhagavan's blessings
However, this is also the time when a lot of misinfo, faltu gnaan, and unsolicited advice start pouring in from the usual suspects. I don't necessarily fault ThePrint or any such farcical media outlets. They are steadfast in their agenda and they won't change even if one moves
heaven and earth. However, it is important to call out blatant misappropriation for our own good and know why we celebrate certain festivals.
Let's understand what Deepavali is all about. Now, the festival means many things to many people and there are too many variations in how
it is celebrated across the world. That being said, I will try to present some aspects that form the core of it all.
As always, every festival, every act, and every ritual in SD is extensively deep-rooted in philosophy that addresses both iha and para.

This nonsense stems due to "reading" Vedas like any other book. There seems to be some confusion even among traditional aasthikas regarding this and I've seen even upanyasarks talking nonsense. However, one must know the proper way of understanding Vedam. Let's take an eg. +
When you use your limbs for doing work, do you say Mr. Hand has lifted an object or Mr. Legs have taken you to a place? No, right? You say my hands and my legs. How come they are "your" hands and legs when they are clearly independent entities? That means you associate your+
limbs with your being. The results of their work is enjoyed by your "Self" and not by the limbs themselves. Similarly, all Devatas are angaas or limbs of the Paramatma. Whatever duties they carry out are under His supervision and their adulation goes to Him ultimately.+
Just like how a CEO represents all employees and each person's achievements directly reflect on the company, a particular Devata say Indra's duty is work delegated by Paramatma and when that goes astray, He takes upon Himself to rectify the same.
Aakaasaat pathitham thoyam yadaagacchathi saagaram sarvadeva namaskara: Kesavam (or Sankaram) prathigacchathi. Just like how different drops of rain ultimately merge into the sea, adulations of all dieties ultimately reaches the One Supreme Brahman.+
Vishnu\xa0is a Rigvedic deity, but not a prominent one when compared to Indra, Agni and others Just 5 out of 1028 hymns of the Rigveda are dedicated to\xa0Vishnu, although He is\xa0mentioned\xa0in other hys He is also described in the Vedic literature as the one who supports heaven and earth

Budhwar - Budhi Vasa
Mangalwar - Vaak Vasa
Ravi Vaar - Aayush Vasa
This stem is burnt and rubbed against the grinding stone in mother's milk or warm water to get a paste
The procedure to make it is in the link

It should not be given daily to the child. Other main benefits are
1. It clears the phlegm in child's throat caused due to continuous milk intake. It clears the tracts and breathing is effortless.
2. Digestion
For children who haven't got their speech and is delayed than usual should feed this vasa on these days in week atleast for 6months. Don't get carried away with this dialogue
