🌺।।जब महिषासुर के पुत्र गजासुर का वध कर महादेव ने उसे ही वरदान देकर कृतकृत्य कर दिया।।🌺

क्या आप जानते हैं?

भगवान् शिव का एक नाम कृत्तिवासा भी है। क्यों पड़ा ये नाम? आइए जानते हैं;

एक कथा 🧵

"महिषासुर का पुत्र गजासुर सर्वत्र अपने बल से उन्मत्त होकर सभी देवताओं को उत्पीड़न कर रहा था।

यह दुस्सह दानव जिस-जिस दिशा में जाता था, वहाँ पर तुरन्त ही सभी दिशाओं में भय छा जाता था।

ब्रह्मा से वर पाकर वह तीनों लोकों को तृणवत् समझता था। काम से अभिभूत स्त्री-पुरुषों द्वारा यह अवध्य था। इस स्थिति में उस दैत्यपुगंव को आता हुआ देखकर त्रिशूलधारी शिव ने मानवों से अवध्य जानकर अपने त्रिशूल से उसका वध किया।

🌺।।In Sanatan Dharm, we believe in many auspicious numbers and 5 is one of them।।🌺

A Thread 🧵 about the significance of number 5 in Sanatan Dharm

The concept of “five” is widely prevalent in Indian culture—from Panchabhutha (five elements) to Panchdev, Panchkanya to Panch Vatvriksh, Panch Puja Upchar to Panchamrit.

"Five" has a special significance in Indian philosophy and culture. From nature to worship, there is mention of Panchtatva, Panchdev, Panchendriya, Panchkarmendriya etc. in many dimensions of life.

🌺Let us understand the meaning and importance of these five groups in detail🌺:

⚜️1. PANCHTATVA (Earth, Sky, Fire, Water, Air)

According to Indian philosophy, the universe is made up of 5 fundamental elements:

EARTH: Symbol of solid form, which gives us stability and foundation.

SKY: Symbol of expansion, which represents infinity and void.

FIRE: Source of energy and change, which is the power that drives life.

WATER: Symbol of fluidity and emotions, which nourishes life.

AIR: Symbol of movement and communication, which is life-giving in the form of Pranavaayu.

These Panchtatva not only represent the various forms of nature, but are also present in the structure of our body and mind.
