5 fingers

"Pancho ungiliya👋 ek samaan nahi hoti" 

All five fingers cannot be the same.
Haven't we all heard this saying so many times from our elders? 

There is a significant meaning behind why God made our hands the way he did. Over the ages we have forgotten what was God's thought process when he made us this way.

Let's try and understand the logic behind this.

Our little finger is the smallest, that's our needs of life.

The ring finger is bigger than our little finger, that shows that God has given us more than our needs.

The middle finger is the tallest. Our desires are never ending, how much ever we may have we still want more.
When we are blessed with whatever we want and more, our ego also escalates upwards.

 Our index finger is our ego. When we point our index finger all the other three fingers are closed as we then forget everything else and our ego takes over.

But, when we give a thums up every other finger is closed. Our thumb is God, when we connect with him our needs, wants, desires, ego everything is just not that important anymore.

So that's why our fingers are not the same.

This is also the reason why our elders would rub their hands together first thing in the morning on waking up see the palms n rub the hands on the face. 

You remind yourself of being thankful to God for having given us more than our needs, we energies our body energy by rubbing our hands together, and we feel relaxed and rejuvenated to face the day.

When God hurts us

When people hurt us, we often want to get back at them, hurt them the way they have hurt us. When things go wrong in life, we may want to get back at life’s supreme controller, God, by resenting or blaspheming him. But attacking God is like spitting at the sky – it is the disfigurer who ends up getting disfigured. Resenters and blasphemers find themselves deprived of God’s enlightening wisdom and empowering grace, thereby becoming more vulnerable to the mind’s trivial tantrums and petty passions.   That’s why when life hurts us, instead of getting back at God, it’s far more intelligent to get God back – to reconnect with him through wisdom and devotion. This is illustrated in the narrative of the Bhagavad-gita. At the Gita’s start, Arjuna faced a heart-wrenching crisis: he had to fight and slay his venerable elders such as his grandfather and his martial teacher. Prior to this traumatic war, he and his family had been victimized repeatedly by the relentless machinations of his evil...

Shiva and Shani

It would be difficult to debate Shiva’s connection with yoga as there are numerous commentaries and teachings from him regarding yoga, additionally, he is commonly referred to as Yogeswar, the lord of yoga.  Even while reading select puranas, it becomes apparent that Shiva has a strong connection with yoga/meditation as he is frequently referenced as meditating for long periods of time; his dress is that of a renunciant, and one should note his strong association with caves, mountain tops and other locations for meditation.  From a Shaivite (a follow of Shiva) perspective, it is Shiva’s meditation that upholds and transforms the universe.  It is his relationship with Durga/Parvati/Uma that gave rise to many forms within the realm of creation.   But more interestingly, it is Shiva’s relationship with Shani (Saturn) that is largely ignored yet applicable to students of modern Hinduism/Yoga/Spirituality. Within Vedic...
