Lord Shiva has five faces called Ishana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojatha. These five faces of Shiva represent the five basic elements viz. akash, air, fire, water and earth.

#MondayMotivation #MondayMorning #MondayVibes

In fact these faces can be called five forms of Shiva.

Any creation has to be made out of these five gross elements. The 1st form or face called Ishana, is the first physical form of Shiva. This form gives us pleasure that is enjoyed by our physical body.
This is represented in the form of organs of hearing and speech in our body and in the form of subtle sound and the celestial sphere or akash. It may be recalled that ancient rishis got the sound of Vedas only from akash.
The second form or face is called Tatpurusha, the second physical form of the Lord. This form is identified with prakrti or the source of objectivity. This is the home of atman. This form is represented by organs of touch, organs of action, and is the subtle form of air.
Third form is Aghora is the physical form of Shiva and is identified with cosmic intellect. This form is represented by eyes, feet and dharma. This is identified with rupa or physical structure and the subtle form of fire.
The fourth form is Vamadeva, the fourth physical form of Shiva and exists in man in the form of ego, tongue, rectum and subtle form of water.
The next form Sadyojatha is the fifth physical form of the Lord and exists in the form of mind, organs of smell, organs of generation, and the subtle form of earth.
Shiva created these five gross elements and his only other creation is Shakthi, the vimarsha form or the kinetic energy.
The five faces Shiva should not be taken in literal sense and these faces represent five basic elements, five organs of action, five organs of knowledge..

Have a wonderful day and week ahead. Hari 🕉️🕉️

#மாசிமகம்-
#ஸ்ரீலலிதாஜயந்தி!

மாசிமாதம்,பௌர்ணமி திதி, மக நக்ஷத்ரம் ஆகிய மூன்றும் ஒன்று சேரும் நன்நாள் தான் மாசிமகம்.

ஸ்ரீவித்யா மார்க்கத்தில் அம்பாளை;
1) தாரா 2) மாதங்கி 3) சின்ன மஸ்தா 4)பகளாமுகீ 5) தூமாவதீ
6) புவனேஸ்வரி 7)காளி 8)த்ரிபுர பைரவி 9)கமலா 10)லலிதா என்பதாக பத்துவித ஸ்வரூபமாக ஆராதிக்கிறார்கள்.

இவ்விதம் 10 அவதாரங்கள் அம்பாளுக்கு ஏற்பட்டதாக
புராணங்கள் கூறுகின்றன.

இந்த 10 விதமான தேவி
அவதாரங்களுக்குள் ஸ்ரீ லலிதா (த்ரிபுர ஸுந்தரி) என்னும் அவதாரமானது மாசி மாதம் பௌர்ணமியில் தான் நிகழ்ந்தது. ஆகவே ஸ்ரீ லலிதா ஜயந்தியாகவும்
அன்றைய நாள் கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.

அன்று மாலை ஸ்ரீ லலிதா தேவியின் விக்ரஹம் அல்லது படத்தை நன்கு அலங்கரித்து வைத்து, ஸ்ரீ லலிதா
அஷ்டோத்தரத்தால் அர்ச்சனை செய்து, சர்க்கரை பொங்கல்
நிவேதனம் செய்து, பூஜை செய்து, 9 ஸுவாஸினிகளுக்காவது தாம்பூலம் தரவேண்டும்.

மேலும் அன்று மாலை அனைவரும் சேர்ந்தோ-தனித்தோ-
சந்திரகிரணங்கள் உடலில் படுமாறு அமர்ந்து கொண்டு, சந்திரனின் பிம்பத்தில் ஸ்ரீ லலிதா தேவியை த்யானம் செய்து கொண்டு ஸ்ரீ லலிதா ஸஹஸ்ரநாமத்தை பாராயணம் செய்வது மிகச்சிறப்பான
பலங்களைத்தரும்.

Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
