C2D my pleasure... lets start the battle again.... :)
"To Hell with Zionist" I know tht triggers you.. ha ha ha
hey Victor You too from Mumbai???
Nice to meet you Sir... me too.. from thana
Back to the Topic... About Hanuman n Gappati...
Actually the very word "Monkey Gods" n "Elephant God" brings humor with it not the devotion..
So I would prefer calling them.. God as Monkey and GOd as Elephant.....
By the way.. I m not a Good person to comment on them as I am more into spiritual aspect of religion than the Idol worship... and neither do have good understanding of scriptures....
But i ll Do best I can....
Hanuman is suppose to be a Devotee of Lord Rama...
A Ideal role model to follow... Picture perfect family man.. King.. Brother....Husband....Son... n Father..
Hanuman is his Devotee.. the most sincere one ever..
His devotion is so pure.. selfless...n beautiful tht had he not been... Ram would have not been a God he is praised as today... He is suppose to be Son of God Varun..( God of wind)
And he being a Monkey... was very strong physically and jump really well.. these attributes where used when Lord Rama Fought with the Enemy Ravana..
This is all Mythology of course.. but the story.. or mythilogy ..every character had unique significance which was highlighting one or more aspect of how a true Hindu should behave...
Ganesha.. is Half man with head of a Elephant...
He is Son of Lord Shiva.... (Ling God)
He is God of Wisdom n knowledge.... (Smart fellow) and is prayed before starting anything new.....
Any prayer has to start with taking his name and then later others...
He is the youngest known God .. hence stories of his Mischievousness are fun ... Beautiful blend of Innocence and Knowledge.... (My favorite... being a Mumbaikar is a reason.. :) )
Hindu Religion very much like the Ancient Greeks have Mythologies .. but unlike them have a Scriptures.. which they didn.. and may be thts why Greek civilization didn last the fight against time...
Every religion based on scriptures have survived and are thriving ...
Ling... is representation of Lord Shiva....
Do not know more about the Linga as Such..
But Lord Shiva is God of Gods... most supreme one..
God of All saints n Seekers....
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
