The Palas of Bengal are considered the pioneers of miniature painting in India. The tradition of miniature paintings was further taken forward by the artists of various Rajasthani schools of painting, including the Kishangarh, Bundi Jaipur, Mewar and Marwar. Image
Natural stone colours are used in a paper-based “wasli” for the creation of these paintings. The miniature paintings have developed into several distinct schools of miniature like Mughal, Rajasthan, Deccan, Kangra, Malwa, Pahadi, etc. Image
Miniature paintings originated in India around 750 A.D when the Palas ruled over the eastern part of India. Since religious teachings of the Buddha, accompanied by his images, were written on palm leaves, these paintings became popular. Image

🌺।।SHIVLING — A Scientific, Vedic & Spiritual Perspective।।🌺

Shivling is a Pillar of Conscious Energy

A Thread 🧵

It is not a phallic symbol, as falsely claimed in colonial or agenda-driven interpretations.
Instead, it is the infinite cosmic axis – symbolizing formless Shiva and creative Shakti in unified stillness.Image
The word Shivling = Shiva (Consciousness) + Linga (Symbol / Form)

⚜️1. Shivling represents:

Creation (Brahma)

Preservation (Vishnu)

Dissolution (Shiva)

All rooted in pure Consciousness (Shiva) and expressed through Energy (Shakti).

The Shivling is not man-made — it is Cosmic Geometry, the divine Shiv-Shakti union that births all life.
⚜️2. Vedic & Puranic References

Shvetashvatara Upanishad (6.11)

“Eko devo nitya-lilānurakto bhakta-vyāpī bhakta-hṛdy antar-ātmā”

“One Divine dwells within all beings, ever joyful, and fills the hearts of seekers.”

Linga Purana (1.17.70–80)

“Lingaṁ hi tat paramaṁ sūkṣmaṁ rūpātipāramaṁ śivam”

“The Linga is the highest subtle form—beyond all form—Shiva himself.”

Yajurveda (Taittiriya Samhita 4.5.10.1)

“Shivāya namah”

— One of the earliest invocations of Shiva as the auspicious cosmic power.

🌺।।जब भगवान शिव यशोदा से बोले “कान्हा के दर्शन करा दो” — एक सुंदर कथा।।🌺

A Thread 🧵

⚜️1. प्रसंग की पृष्ठभूमि

कंस के अत्याचार के समय भगवान विष्णु ने गोकुल में नंद-यशोदा के घर कन्हैया के रूप में जन्म लिया। यह खबर देवताओं और ऋषियों तक पहुँची, और हर कोई इस अद्भुत बालरूप के दर्शन को उत्सुक हो उठा।

भगवान शिव भी, कैलाश से, अपनी अर्धांगिनी माता पार्वती के साथ, बालकृष्ण के दर्शन हेतु गोकुल की ओर चल पड़े।Image
⚜️2. गोकुल आगमन और द्वार पर रोक

भगवान शिव, जटाजूटधारी, बाघम्बरधारी, गले में साँप, हाथ में त्रिशूल लिए, गोकुल पहुँचे और नंद भवन के द्वार पर खड़े हो गए।

यशोदा माता ने जब देखा कि एक अघोर स्वरूप का साधु खड़ा है, तो मातृभाव में उन्हें डर लगा कि कहीं उनके बालक को नज़र न लग जाए।

यशोदा ने आदर से कहा — “महात्मन, आप धन्य हैं, पर आज बालक विश्राम कर रहा है, कृपा कर कल पधारें।Image
⚜️3. शिवजी की विनती

भगवान शिव ने बड़ी करुणा से कहा —

“माता, मैं कोई सामान्य योगी नहीं, मैं तो इस बालक का परमभक्त हूँ।

मुझे बस एक झलक, एक क्षण के लिए उसके चरणों की धूल चाहिए, जिससे मेरा जन्म सफल हो जाए।”

लेकिन यशोदा को भय था कि साधु का भयानक रूप बालक को डराएगा, इसलिए उन्होंने अनुमति नहीं दी।Image
