Vande Gurubhyo Namah!
Hello all,
Namaste! All of you, my dear blog readers, know about my website-swaroopa.net. I have started my business, Swaroopa store, which can be accessed from Shop tab on my website, for beings who are interested in a personal reading. There is also the Swaroopa Store link, on my blog's left side. Now to the post.
Hope, all of you are hale and healthy. Above keeping oneself physically healthy, mentally and emotionally as well. This mental and emotional part because that is the realm we are going to discuss today. Kuja or Mars in the spiritual house, the twelfth. This is the one area that make humans go through roller-coasters, fire loops, cry baby syndromes and all other shenanigan humans show and perceive. The emotions! The whole world is ruled by the emotions of the humans and many don't even have a clue of it.
I was planning to continue with this post. But my Google Blogger or internet was acting up and I was not able to save many times. I don't want to type a 3000 worded blog to later realize, everything got lost. So, the next Mars- Mangalik post, I will do next week. Instead, today why don't I just share a few images of the deities of Sanathana Dharma starting with Ganesha. Then, my Manasa guru, Lalitha Tripurasundari, other Goddesses and then, the Navagraha.
They have helped me thoroughly in my blog journey for the last four years. So,may be they want a slight recognition. By sharing their images, along with all of you my lovely blog readers, I will also find my own deepest grace and blessings. So, let us enjoy together a few images- all from Wikimedia Commons, most probably. Also, this week was Ganesh Chathurthi. What better week to share all these images? Happy Ganesh Chathurthi,🌸🌸 all - though slightly belated! 😊🌹
Here, I want to give out a shout out to Wikimedia Commons. Due to the way they have made these ancient images accessible, I am able to use them on my blog. Thank you, Wikimedia Commons! You actually have made my blog very vibrant and with an ancient feel. Same way Pixabay has given a very modern touch and essence to my blog. Thank you, Pixabay! Indeed, the very best from both the worlds. Thank you! 🙏
So, let us peruse some images for today. Shall we? 😊
Addendum: I have to add a small note. As long as, I didn't depict all the Navagrahas in their Golden spelendid, splendorous, brilliant, form, yesterday onwards the images just won't align, It just won't. I sat till 12.30pm and tried to make them align. Usually until now, never on a Friday I have tinkered with the blog. I finish on Thursday to publish on Friday. Today, it was different.
To align them, I sat from morning 9.45am onwards, today-Friday. Now, it is 11.45 am. Until and unless, I decided to put the nine- Nava grahas in their Golden shining form, they said- "No, don't expect any co-operation from us. We want to be seen in our true, highest energy and idealistic form. Either you put us as Golden or have a non-aligned blog." Finally, internally flabbergasted and bowing mentally, individually to each of them, I have put each one of these amazing energy beings in their Golden, immense and amazing form, with a few words of their significations in paranthesis in the title of each image. 🌸🌸🌸😊🙏 Best, Swaroopa.🌺
