As a Dad: Leo Edition

note: hey everyone! happy Ramadan, happy Easter, happy Passover, happy Vaisakhi, happy Hanuman Jayanti, happy Mahavir Jayanti, and happy days to secular folks! i hope you all are having a safe holiday.

Authoritative

• there isn't much that we all collectively agree on more about leo than the fact that he's somewhat of a bossy dude

• that being said, he does mellow out in his older years and becomes more laid back...then he had children (biologically by some miracle or by adoption)

• he read every single baby book he could get his hands on but then they went out the window when he realized that parenting is nothing like what they say in books

• the 0-8 month phase wasn't so bad, his sleep schedule is wonky so mostly he's up with the baby. he's very calm, very soft spoken, and gentle with the baby when they're fussy cause they can't communicate

• bath schedule, eating schedule, sleep schedule, the man has schedules people.

• absolutely loves bath time cause he's the dad who will put the bubbles on his head to make the kid laugh (i dont make the rules)

• loves the pre-walking stage the most cause you just put them on the floor and let'em roll and crawl in a confined space

• lord help this man at the walking and talking stages

• he tries to get your kid to talk but all the kid wants to do is scream so..there's that idea gone

• when the kid wants to run around naked while leo's trying to get the diaper back on, now that is where he gets tested cause that little shit-

• incredible amount of patience though, especially with tantrums. splinter never raised his voice at him as a kid until he became a teen, so he wanted to carry that on with his own children

• now when your kid hits the 3-8 stage, oh boy. if leo could go grey, he would be grey.

• he tries to teach your child discipline and respect, and while your kid is respectful, unfortunately they have leo's sharp tongue and makes it everyone's problem

• leo believes in time outs or taking things away as punishment. he doesn't believe in spanking and thinks yelling accomplishes nothing. he does get a certain tone that makes it known he means business

• he knows full well your child is going to make mistakes and creates a safe environment to where your kid can come to him when this does happen without much punishment

• but we all know that's a perfect world and if it's leo's kid, their mouth is going to be their downfall

• he thought the 3-8 stage was bad until ages 13-17, oh boy.

• puberity is not on leo's side here

• grounding becomes more of a ritual and leo runs a tight ship. he will hold his grounding opinion until he thinks it should be lifted, no matter how long it takes

• of course your kid is also a ninja so sneaking out is a thing (leo can't get too mad cause he did the same but "do as i say and not as i do" is leo's famous line)

• reasonable parent and thinks carefully about how severe a punishment should be or if the circumstance really even calls for one

• chores, bedtime until they hit around 13, the kid must have at least an A/B average, a C is acceptable if the subject is particularly hard and the kid is trying their best

• dorky dad. just a dorky dad.

• dad sneezes

• doesn't strike me as a girl dad or boy dad cause he's so attentive no matter the gender

• he's the dad that doesn't call it babysitting cause it's his kids

• he will get down on the floor and play with his kids

• has a little girl? no problem dressing up and letting her do his makeup and nails

• has a little boy? wrestling and rough housing it is

• kid(s)will be respectful and smart, and just very genuinely nice kids

• kid(s)'ll also deck someone with no hesitation

• vegetables are non-negotiable

• very proud man when it comes to his children and never hesitates to praise them

• the children will each have special nicknames

• he's not the fun parent but is also not not the fun parent

• never misses an event, even though he has to attend in the shadows. he is always there

• affectionate dad, more verbally than physically, but he gives your kids head kisses all the time

• as long as the kids aren't trying to kill each other and are just playing, the noise doesn't bother him much...it's the silence that does

• definitely the type of dad to send 👍

@umbrulla The importance of noncanon shipping

I ship Ram and Bheem but the thing is I ship it as a headcanon because it is a headcanon it isn't meant to be canon kind of like Gaara and Naruto people ship them because they see ways they could've ended up together but in the end it wasn't canon.

You can disregard the canon ending from your mind and sit in your fantasies if you want thats fine I'm a sasunaru shipper I know that but the only problem I have with you @umbrulla is that you actively stated misinformation you in the beginning of my reply chain with you stated that Sita isn't Ram's fiancee which is untrue she is his fiancee/lover

Second this post you state that Rajamouli said in an interview that there's a romance/bromance between Ram and Bheem only but thats untrue again Sita is Ram's canonical lover and in an article Rajamouli states that his intrepretation of the work was that Ram and Bheem were meant to be a male FRIENDSHIP. The LGBTQ interpretations are okay I have no qualm with that but thats all they are representations Rajamouli never stated them to be a romance between only Ram and Bheem he gave those two love interests in the movie Sita and Jenny.

Since you can't see the article I will show you

Also to support the fact Rajamouli interpretted them as a male friendship Ram and Bheem in Rajamouli's head were a brotherly bond both Bheem and Ram often call eachother bhaiya or brother in the movie and there's a scene referencing Bheem to Ram's brother before he died when both his brother and Bheem eat with their left hand.

Another piece of mis information both Ram and Bheem are Heroes of the stories its not uncommon for their to be double heroes in telugu cinema RRR is a portrayal of that. People have headcanons and ship Ram and Bheem that is true but Bheem never marries Ram actually no one gets married in RRR and the closest thing is sita being Ram's lover/ fiancee that is why she is sent a letter to collect Ram's body when he is sent to be killed because she is his closest family member and fiancee this was set when they were young.

Also Bheem states Ram to be Sita's fiancee

Further more Ram confirms to Bheem that Sita is his lover/fiancee in this scene

Einthusan didn't translate it exactly but the word can also be interpretted as lover/fiancee.

*Ram nods*

Another thing Seetha and Rama are one of the most popular love stories and reincarnation stories of Lord Vishnu this Rajamouli's way of stating they are true lovers.

Ram marrying Bheem is your interpretation but can also be incorrect. In Hinduism people to get married by tying the nuptial thread around one's neck however in this case Bheem is a reference to Hanuman a sacred servant of Rama from mythology his job is to protect rama and reunite him and Sita this reference is made very openly clear in RRR. Ayyapan is a interpretation that isn't as clearly stated can be used for headcanon shipping material though. Bheem gave Ram the necklace to save him.

I don't have a problem with shipping Ram and Bheem the only thing I have a problem with is you repeatedly stating misinformation to prove that I'm wrong now this might just be that you weren't able to get a clear understanding of parts of the movie because of the language barrier or you don't remember them but I also am allowed to defend myself I hope you read this post and get a better understanding of what I was trying to say, I'm wrong in parts as well during the previous argument I accept that.

Edit: One thing I'd like to add to my response I think Rajamouli made the movie seem straight on the front because he was scared of rejection thats why he added the whole Sita being Ram's fiancee and Jenny kind of being Bheem's love interest. This is because Telugu cinema doesn't openly accept LGBTQ cinema however with the overwhelming support from Westerners about this Cinema being about Gay lovers RRR could be a turning point in Telugu cinema. Rajamouli making Ram and Bheem seem Hetero was for his OWN Protection so his cinema wouldn't flop. that doesn't mean you can't make headcanons.

DAILY ANGEL MESSAGE MONDAY!

Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, say this prayer and then keep reading: “Thank you angels for revealing to me what I need to know!”

MESSAGE

When you devote yourself to a vision with unwavering faith, you welcome in the support of the Universe. Today, the devoted heart of Hanuman is guiding you to reflect on your strengths and talents.

You are someone who gives with all your heart, but may find it hard to receive in return. In fact, you give without looking for anything in return, but the Universe wants you to make more time, energy, and space to be supported too, because when you open up to the possibility of being supported and nourished, you allow yourself to be replenished and thus you have more to give.

You are being honored today for your commitment to what is important to you. The Universe sees you as vital to healing and expansion, but in order to keep going with your mission, let your heart be served in return. A true warrior’s shield is the love of God.

ABOUT

Hanuman is the Hindu warrior god and divine companion and protector of the god Rama. The son of the wind‑god, Vayu, he is loved by many not only because of his monkey form, but also because his sheer dedication to Rama is inspirational to all spiritual devotees.

Hanuman is one of the main characters in the Hindu epic the Ramayana. The story goes that after a great war, there was a procession, and Rama and his wife Sita honored those who had fought for them. When it came to Hanuman, Sita took her favorite pearls off and placed them around his neck. Like a cheeky monkey, Hanuman began to bite them open like nuts and look inside each one. Startled, Rama wondered why he would do such a thing. Hanuman said, “I am looking for you, my lord! I love you and Sita so much, you are all I could ever want. If I were to rip open my heart and show it to you, there you would be.”

Thereupon he began to rip his chest open, and there, sitting where his heart would be, was an image of Rama and Sita. This is why Hanuman is the lord of devotion.

Evidence of Ramayana

Everything which exists has proof and it can be found with a little digging. So is the case with the Ramayana. Our elders have been telling us the great stories from the mythological tale of the Ramayana, and the lack of sufficient evidence has left the Ramayana to be called an integral part of literature. But probably after reading this, you might want to hear the stories of the Ramayana all over again, from your elders and this time- in a different light.

1. The Mysterious Cobra Hood cave In Sigiriya, Sri Lanka there is a cave that has been tested by archaeologists to be a hundred percent natural. The mysterious part about this cave is that its shape, despite being untouched by human hands, has taken the shape of a cobra! Moreover, this cave still has cave paintings on its walls, depicting scenes of Sita being captured by the Asuras.

2. The exile locationLet’s rewind the story a bit and get to the point where Ram was sentenced to exile by his own father, Dasharatha on account of a promise that he made to his wife Kaikeyi. Being the obedient son that he was, Ram along with his beautiful wife Sita and his brother Lakshman proceeded to the forest; and the place where they built their cottage and lived for the next 14 years is stated to be ‘Panchavati ‘. Here’s where the surprising bit comes- there exists a place called Panchavati, near NasikIt’s often claimed that this Panchavati is the same place where Ram, Sita and Lakshman made as their abode once they were exiled from the royal palace. Today this place has a lot of temples and is often visited by people.

3. Jatayu’s rescue attemptWhen Sita was abducted by Ravaana, there was a demi-god called Jatayu who came to Sita’s rescue. However, Ravaana slayed the demi god’s wings and he fell to the ground. Mean while, Ram and Lakshman found the now-dying demi-God who was lying on the ground. It was Jatayu who told Ram that it was Ravana who had abducted Sita and it was Lanka where Ram would find his beautiful wife. But alas, Jatayu could not be saved, as he was now breathing his last. In order to thank Jatayu for his brave efforts and for imparting the precious bit of information about Sita’s abduction - Ram, with his divine powers uttered the words ‘Le Pakshi’ which in telugu means - ‘Rise, Bird’. The fact here is that there is an actual place in Andhra Pradesh called ‘Lepakshi’, which is reportedly the place where the Jatayu fell.Jatayu, being a crucial part of saving Sita is highly revered in the Ramayana.

4. Sita’s life in Sri lankaWhen Ravaan abducted Sita and got her to his kingdom of Lanka, he is said to have first taken her to a place which is now a tourist spot in Sri lanka called Sita Kotuwa. According to the mythological tale, from here Ravana took her to Ashok Vatika and surprise surprise- there is an actual ‘Ashokvanam’ in Sri Lanka. Don’t believe us? You don’t have to.

5. The footprints of Lord HanumanGoing by the mythological tale of The Ramayana, when Ram deployed the monkey forces to rescue his wife, Sita. He chose the strongest among them who was named Hanuman to find Sita’s exact location. Upon receiving blessings from Ram, the monkey God flew to Lanka to find the exact location of Sita. Full with power and divine blessing, Hanuman was endowed with a special ability to alter his form - i.e; he could maximize his size to that of a giant or even minimize his form to that of an average monkey! To support this- till date, there are footprints that have been said to be of Hanuman near Ashokvanam. These footprints differ in size and are a reflection of the special powers of the monkey God- Hanuman.

6. Dark soil :A part of the Ramayana narrates that after Ravana found out that Hanuman had come to free Sita, he set Hanuman’s tail on fire after attempting to keep him captive. In the process, Hanuman set Ravaana’s kingdom on fire by jumping over distances and places which were a part of Ravana’s kingdom. Even today, in some parts where Ravaana’s palace once reportedly stood, the soil is somewhat darker than that of the surrounding area.

7. Hot wells said to be built by Ravaana, the hot springs are well-like structures which still exist and form an integral part of being Sri Lanka’s supply of naturally hot water.

8. 10 headed Ravaana Whenever Ravana has to be depicted either in texts or sculptures, he is shown to be having 10 heads. While the statement that Ravaana has 10 heads might seem highly impossible, the fact that he ruled 10 kingdoms doesn’t seem far fetched. 10 kingdoms, 10 crowns. Simple. Another theory states that Ravana was a great scholar and his ten heads symbolise his mastery over 6 shastras and 4 vedas. One of the theories state that the ten heads of Ravan depict the 10 negative senses or emotions in a human being, namely- lust, anger, delusion, greed, pride, envy, the mind, intellect, will and ego.

9. Ram Setu Although they didn’t require a Sri Lankan Visa to travel there in those times, there was a huge problem in the form of the water bodies, that we now call as the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar. In order to get to Ravaan’s kingdom, Ram had to cross these water bodies. So, he ordered his supreme army of monkeys to build a bridge between the two lands, and with his divine power the stones floated on the water. With the help of Google maps and complex technology, if you carefully watch the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait, one can actually see a link between the two countries! This link has often been dubbed as the Ram Setu or Rama’s bridge and even sometimes as the Adam’s bridge.

10. The journey from Sri Lanka to AyodhyaVijaya Dashami is the day Ravaana was defeated by Ram in an epic battle between the demons and the army of monkeys. Sita was rescued and Ram along with his trusted comrades took his wife back to his kingdom, Ayodhya. 21 days later, he returned to Ayodhya, and his return is why Diwali is celebrated with lights as it first was done by the natives of Ayodhya, to celebrate the defeat of darkness by light! Even in today’s day - The journey from these two lands takes a total of 21 days by foot, according to the much-trusted google Maps - which is pretty much the number of days from Vijaya Dashami to Diwali.

Hope this helps

Puri - 1

|| Om Namo Narayanaya ||

Let us begin our blog on the wonderful secrets of temples with a few posts on the renowned temple of Sri Jagannath at Puri, Odisha. Also known as Purushottama Kshetra, this temple is a must visit for all devotees of Lord Krishna as well as architecture lovers. In this series we would cover facts about 1. Architectural features 2. Lesser-known secrets of the temple 3. Puranic history 4. The popular Mahaprasadam

Firstly, let us see some of the salient architectural features of this gigantic temple. Puri Jagannath temple is built in the Kalinga style. The present temple dates back to the 12th century. There is a huge Vimāna (Gopuram) over the main sanctum, about 65 m high. Atop the Vimāna stands a majestic Chakra, known as Nīlachakra. The Nīlachakra is 3.5 m tall, with 8 spokes on its outer surface facing upwards. It is made of an alloy of 8 metals.

The temple is fortified by 2 enclosures, known as prākāras which have more than 50 major and minor shrines in them. The walls are filled with magnificent stone carvings and geometrical patterns. There are 4 entrances to the temple, named after the life-size sculptures of animals that guard them. 1. East - Singha (Lion) Dwar 2. South - Ashwa (Horse) Dwar 3. West - Vyaghra (Tiger) Dwar 4. North - Hasti (Elephant) Dwar

The most crowded of all the entrances is the Singha Dwar. There is a tall pillar in front of it where people light lamps and pray. It is the Aruna Stambha, named after the charioteer of Surya Narayana. It was carved from a single chlorite stone and is 33.5 feet tall. It was brought from Konark along with the deity of Surya Narayana during the 18th century. The deity is placed in one of the shrines of the temple. (More information about Konark would come soon)

As soon as we enter the Lion Gate, to the left, there is a small deity of Hanuman named 'Fateh Hanuman'. Fateh means Siddhi, or ability, and Hanuman is named so because he gives us permission and ability to have the most divine Darshan of Jagannath. Towards the right is a deity of Sugriva along with a fierce Narasimha Swami. He is interestingly known as "Narasimha Swami who has 22 hands but is present in a space smaller than a hand"

However, the most striking feature is the huge deity of Jagannath. Is he the main deity? If not, then what is the story behind his presence in the eastern gate? We shall get to know all these in the next post. Until then,

|| Jai Jagannath ||

Hey, it's me, Aniket!!

You know, while I am excited about Star Trek: Prodigy coming to Netflix on December 25th, I have decided we will take a Break Discussing about ST: Prodigy for a while and let's talk about some new other topic.

Or else, People will think, this blog is more focused about Star Trek: Prodigy!!

So let's talk about an animated series which, some of you don't know, this even exists!! Because, you haven't heard of this series yet or unknown about!!

Look, I am from India, the mostly populated country and developing country in the whole world!! And when we talk about Animation in India, there might be a chance, you won't know anything about Indian Animation. Because, for years, India's Entertainment Industry, didn't even rely upon Animation. Especially, Bollywood Industry. Because, Bollywood Industry haven't been relying upon Animation, a Vast Medium of all things Live-Action Counterpart cannot achieve. Granted, there are VFX existed on Live-Action things, but not Animation!! Because, People are Unaware of that "Animation is not for Kids Only, it's for Everyone."

As an Animation Fan, you know, discovering new things is a habit.

I always think, when will India create their own Super-Creative Animated Series?? If Australia can create Bluey, then why not India??

But then, something happened in Early 2021, that is Unbelievable!!

Before I touched upon ST: Prodigy, in 2021, there was an Indian Animated Series, which I think, it could be the next big thing for Animation!! And it has the Potential to be India's "Avatar: The Last Airbender"!!

Yup, I am talking about "The Legend of Hanuman"!! It's an Original series from the Indian Version of Disney+, called as Disney+ Hotstar, labeling as Hotstar Specials!!

No, it's not from Disney or Pixar or Marvel, in fact, it has nothing to do with Disney, whatsoever, except from giving a boost to this series' massive popularity in India!! It is made by Indian Animation and Comics creation Studio, Graphic India!!

It is based upon and Centred around Lord Hanuman, the important character from Saint Valmiki's Ramayana, which is an Indian Hindu Mythological Epic.

For those, who don't know about Ramayana, Google Search about and Research Ramayana!! You will get the Idea!!

This series is about Hanuman's Journey from being an ordinary Vanara (Humanoid Monkey) to becoming a Legend.

This series has the same plot as Ramayana, but centring around Hanuman, he is the Main Character for the show only.

Yeah, yeah, I know, there are many series and Movies made upon Lord Hanuman and Lord Ram!! But for me, after Ramayana: the Legend Of Prince Ram by Indian Animation veteran Ram Mohan and Japanese Animator Yugo Sako released in 1992, this series has etched a special Place in my Heart and Mind, to be honest with you!!

First of all, the elements in Animation, it's not like movie quality like Star Trek: Prodigy, as it's aspect ratio is 16:9 HDTV Format, but the quality is still up to the mark, especially when you rewatch this series entirely or freshly watch it. You will get some good quality Animation in it.

And the Visuals and VFX, all are outstanding!! Every aspect you see is detailed!!

Second, is the Audio mixing, Voice Dubbing and Music. Most of the People voice casting in this series in The Original Hindi Version are the people who excelled in Hindi Dub, for example Sanket Mhatre as Lord Ram, Damandeep Singh Baggan or Da Man as Lord Hanuman etc.

Third, the Direction. Sharad Devarajan, Navin John and Jeevan J. Kang, are just delivering best directing in one of the Animated Series based upon Hindu Mythology Epic. Even Sharad Devarajan said, that he was inspired from Japanese Animator Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke" to make this series.

And finally, this series has so much story to tell about Lord Hanuman and his journey from being an ordinary Vanara to Serving Lord Ram and his brother Lakshman to save Lord Ram's Wife, Princess Sita to becoming an Icon for everyone, a legend.

It has Two seasons both released in 2021 with 13 episodes each and The Third season is in production and releasing on January 2024.

As I said, before it is available on Disney+ Hotstar in India, and for the US Viewers, they can watch it on Hulu (Merging with Disney+ later in 2024) in the Hotstar Hub. This series has been dubbed in 7 different Languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, and Marathi and Subtitled in English.

And talking about 9.2/10 on IMDb, it's the first Indian Animated series to cross 9/10 Rating on IMDb!! For other than India, Only I know as of yet, A:TLA and Bluey got this rating above 9 out of 10

It has a record 9.2/10 Rating on IMDb and in fact, in 2021, according to Ormax Media, it has become the first Indian Animated Series to cross 8.5 million Viewers in the first 10 days after Season 2 of it was premiered!! A Whopping 8.5 million viewers!! No animated series in a paid streaming service in India has done it before, and proof that Indians are very optimistic about "The Legend Of Hanuman" and praising the Animation and the Creative Lore of it!!

If you have time, please watch "The Legend of Hanuman" on Disney+ Hotstar in India and Hulu in the US, it is the series you really need to watch out for and worth the Time and Money!!

And I cannot praise more and I also cannot wait for what's in Store for Season 3 of it!!

History of Shardiya Navratri

One day during the Lankan war, there was an atmosphere of worry in Ram ji's army, on the other hand, there was a wave of joy in Ravana's camp. At that time, seeing his commander worried, Jamwant ji asked Shri Ram, "Lord, the reason for your worry." What if one day Ravana gets the upper hand in the war? You have the same quiver and the same bow, maybe tomorrow we will have the upper hand in the war.

Then Shri Ram said that the reason for my worry is something else, I have seen Shakti fighting on behalf of Ravana and how can we be victorious if there is Shakti, maybe he has worshiped Shakti, then Jamwant ji said that you should also worship Shakti and should respond to worship with worship only.

Then Lakshman ji was made the commander for the next day's war and Shri Ram asked Hanuman ji to pluck 108 blue lotuses from the river and Ram sat in meditation.

When the ninth day of Ram ji's meditation came, Shakti thought of testing Ram ji to see how much attention Ram ji had towards his goal. On the ninth day, when Ram ji was about to offer the 108th lotus, he noticed that the last lotus was missing from the plate. Then Ram ji decided that he would not leave the puja incomplete. He said that in childhood my mother Kaushalya used to call me Rajeev Nayan.

Therefore, now I have two more lotuses, I will complete my puja by dedicating one of my eye, then as soon as Ram ji took out the arrow from the quiver, Shakti appeared and had held Ram ji's hand and gave him the boon that he would be victorious in this war. Then on the tenth day when there was a war between Shri Ram and Ravana, Ram ji killed Ravana and we celebrate that day as Vijayadashami or Dussehra.

Other Stories

According to another story related to this festival, on this day Maa Durga had killed Mahishasura. According to mythology, Mahishasura did penance from Brahma Ji and asked him for a boon that neither any human being, god nor any animal could kill him. After getting this boon, Mahishasura attacked heaven and within no time he conquered all three worlds and became the ruler of three worlds.

As a result, all the gods, troubled by the atrocities of Mahishasura, went to Lord Vishnu. Then Lord Vishnu advised him to pray to Mata Shakti. As a result of the prayer, Shakti appeared and then gods Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and Indra, etc., offered their weapons to the Goddess, and then the Goddess killed Mahishasura.

Importance of Navratri

Navratri, famous as 9 special nights, the word 'Ratri' is considered a symbol of Siddhi. This time is considered to be the main occasion for worshiping the nine forms of Shakti. The nine forms of power are as follows:

Shailputri

Brahmacharini

Chandraghanta

Kushmanda

Skandamata

Katyayani

Kalaratri

Mahagauri

Siddhidatri

There are 4 Navratri in each year, in which Sage & monks have made the rule of worshiping during Navratri twice a year. Navratri is celebrated from the first day of Vikram Samvat, i.e. from Pratipada of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month to Navami, i.e. for 9 days. Exactly 6 months later, from Pratipada of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month till Mahanavami, i.e. a day before Vijayadashami, the Goddess is worshiped. This Navratri is considered more important from the point of view of accomplishment and sadhana. On this occasion, people observe various types of fasts, restraints, rules, yagyas, bhajans, pujas and yoga-sadhana etc. to increase their spiritual and mental strength.

Mainly, the worship of Shakti has been going on since ancient times. In fact, the account of Devasura Sangram in Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Mahapuran refers to the origin of Durga, the confluence of the powers of all the gods who gathered to save the divinity from the demonic powers, and it is called as durga puja. There are three types of qualities pervaded within our consciousness – Satoguna, Rajoguna, and Tamoguna. Naturally, the celebration of this consciousness is called Navratri. During these 9 days, the Tamoguni nature is worshiped on the first three days, the Rajogun nature is worshiped on the second three days, and the Satoguni nature is worshiped on the last three days. On the last day, we celebrate Vijayotsava as we reach the Trigunatit state, beyond the three gunas, and celebrate victory by vanquishing lust, anger, pride, greed, and other demonic tendencies.

DAILY ANGEL MESSAGE!

Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, say this prayer and then keep reading: “Thank you angels for revealing to me what I need to know!”

MESSAGE

When you devote yourself to a vision with unwavering faith, you welcome in the support of the Universe. Today, the devoted heart of Hanuman is guiding you to reflect on your strengths and talents.

You are someone who gives with all your heart, but may find it hard to receive in return. In fact, you give without looking for anything in return, but the Universe wants you to make more time, energy, and space to be supported too, because when you open up to the possibility of being supported and nourished, you allow yourself to be replenished and thus you have more to give.

You are being honored today for your commitment to what is important to you. The Universe sees you as vital to healing and expansion, but in order to keep going with your mission, let your heart be served in return. A true warrior’s shield is the love of God.

ABOUT

Hanuman is the Hindu warrior god and divine companion and protector of the god Rama. The son of the wind‑god, Vayu, he is loved by many not only because of his monkey form, but also because his sheer dedication to Rama is inspirational to all spiritual devotees.

Hanuman is one of the main characters in the Hindu epic the Ramayana. The story goes that after a great war, there was a procession, and Rama and his wife Sita honored those who had fought for them. When it came to Hanuman, Sita took her favorite pearls off and placed them around his neck. Like a cheeky monkey, Hanuman began to bite them open like nuts and look inside each one. Startled, Rama wondered why he would do such a thing. Hanuman said, “I am looking for you, my lord! I love you and Sita so much, you are all I could ever want. If I were to rip open my heart and show it to you, there you would be.”

Thereupon he began to rip his chest open, and there, sitting where his heart would be, was an image of Rama and Sita. This is why Hanuman is the lord of devotion.
