Nag & Nandi

   NAG
---------
Entwind around the blue neck of Lord Shiva,the cobra sybolize hypnotic spell and meditative trance of this ascetic God. A Nag with three coils symbolize "Trikal"- the past ,present and future. It is extra ordinary in Indian mythology that the serpent symbolize time. Creation is time dependent.. But Lord transcends time.
Nag's looking towards right side symbolize approval to human activities based on knowledge, reasoning and logic. Lord's eternal laws preserve orders in the universe.

NANDI
---------
is both "Vrisha" and " Bull  ". When 'Vrisha', it symbolize ignorance, humility and selfless service. The bull however best symbolizes 'Kama'. He has controlled the desire. Bull is a symbol of both masculinity and fertility. No Shiva temple is comlete without an idol of Nandi. If ever any thing happense not conducive to liking of his swami, he takes no time to show the aggressiveness and power of a bull which is to be controlled then by the master ( Lord Shiva ) himself.

The Universe bows to Shiva & Shiva bows to His companions- Cobra & Bull -- Nag & Nandi

• Learn from your mistakes.

• Value yourself
• Try to understand others' view points
• Respect differences
• Believe that you are good but there is still scope to enhance your goodness.

Love & Relationship

The act of giving is not love. When you become receptive, that is what creates love, because in that receptiveness you stop doing and mind falls into stillness and formlessness.

The easiest way to destroy a relationship is to ask the other to be different from how she or he is. How can you call it love to ask the other to be different from they are? I 'm sure you would agree that is not love. If you start to ask the other to change, you had better end the relationship.

Alone

The word alone simply means that there is no longer a separation between you and me.
Alone is not about loneliness.
Alone is about the ending of separation.
Alone means that there ceases to be a distinction between mine and yours.
There may be a distinction between your body and my body on the physical level, but on an energy level  there is oneness  - alone is all one.

Faith And Belief

Faith is personal. Belief is social. So you need not have belief. Have faith instead and have it for yourself only. Dont' try to convince anyone else of it. If you have faith, you will never try to convince anyone of it. However if you believe in something, you will get angry if others remain unconvinced by you.
