Kartikeya 9" statue

Kartikeya 9" statue

What Is the Nature of Lord Kartikeya? Lord Kartikeya, Murugan, first guru and Pleiadean master of kundalini yoga,was born of God Siva's mind. His dynamic power awakens spiritual cognition to propel souls onward in their evolution.

Lord Kartikeya, Ganesha's brother, is the God of willpower, direct cognition and the purest, child-like divine love. He propels us onward on the righteous way through religion, His Father's law.

Majestically seated on the manipuri chakra,this scarlet-hued God blesses mankind and strengthens our will when we seek inner progress through sadhana and yoga. The yoga path begins with the worship of Him.

This powerful God, first among renunciates, is dear to all sannyasins. Revered as Murugan in the South, He is commander in chief of Siva's devonic army, a fine, dynamic soldier of the within, a fearless defender of righteousness. He is Divinity emulated in form.

The Vedas say, "To such a one who has his stains wiped away, the venerable Sanatkumera shows the further shore of darkness. Him they call Skanda."

LORD KURMA DEV Vishnu as World Supporting Tortoise. At all crucial moments in the evolution and destiny of different forms of life, or whenever the forms of knowledge essential for man's fulfillment of his spiritual realization are out of reach, an Avatar of the preserver appears and guides. Lord Kurma Dev is an Incarnation of the First Age when Vishnu appeared in the form of a turtle to recover things lost in the great deluge. He supports the mountain (sometimes seen as the Indian continent) which is being turned by 108 gods and genii using the great serpent as a rope. Depictions of this scene can be seen in many Hindu and Buddhist temples from the high Himalayas to Angor Wat, Cambodia.
