What is the meaning of Parvati's name Uma?

 Uma is one of the names of Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. There are many meanings of the word Uma, but I will tell you two important meanings of the word Uma.

After Satidevi burnt Herself in the yogic fire in the Daksha Yagya, She was born as the daughter of King Himavanta and Mainadevi. That’s why She is known as Haimavati and Mainaaki. Since, She is the daughter of Parvataraaja Himavanta, She is known as Parvati. She had chosen Lord Shiva as Her husband. She decided to perform penance to please Lord Shiva and sat in penance. Actually, there were three daughters of Himavanta and a son, namely Aparna, Ekaparna, and Paatalaparna, and Mainaaka. Out of these, Aparna is the Parvatidevi, who was doing a fierce penance to please Lord Shiva. Seeing this fierce penance, Mainadevi, the mother of Aparna, came there and said, ‘U MAA!’ which means, ‘O daughter! please don’t do this fierce penance!” Maa in Sanskrit is meant in negation. So, Her name was Uma. After that, the story continued, and finally Lord Shiva came and married Umadevi. So, this was the first meaning.

Second is a spiritual meaning. ‘U’ in Sanskrit means ‘Utkrushta’ or ‘High’ or ‘Profound’. Maa means ‘knowledge’. Since Parvatidevi has Uttama knowledge or Utkrushta knowledge, She is known as Uma. Umadevi does Upadesha to Indra and other devatas. Lord Shiva provides the weaponry and paatha training to Indra and other devatas. This is proved from the story in the Kena Upanishad.

The devatas won against the demons. But they couldn’t conquer the inner enemy, which is arrogance. And in this arrogance, they were boasting a lot. Therefore, Bhagavan Vishnu assumed the form of a Yaksha and came near them. The devatas saw the Yaksha and were like, ‘Who is he?” Indra sent Agni. Agni came to the Yaksha, and before he could ask who he was, the Yaksha himself asked, “Who are you?” Agni boasted about himself that he could burn anything that came in his way. Yaksha chuckled, kept a twig there, and asked Agni to burn that twig. Agni couldn’t burn it and went away. After that, Indra sent Vayu (one of the Marutganas and not Mukhyaprana Vayudeva). Vayu met the same fate as Agni did.

Finally, Indra came there and saw that there was no Yaksha, but a beautiful lady standing. She was none other than Umadevi. The Kena Upanishad explicitly mentions, ‘Haimavathi Uma’, while describing this incident. Umadevi then tells Indra that the Yaksha was none other than Bhagavan Himself who had come to remove the arrogance of the devatas. Indra bowed to Umadevi, and thus the arrogance of the devatas was shattered. This shows that She has Uttama Gyaana about Bhagavan and does Upadesha to the devatas led by Indra.

Thus, She is the Jaganmaata and the presiding deity for speech along with Lakshmidevi and Sarasvatidevi. Where each devata handles each department of the mind, Umadevi handles the whole mind department along with Lord Shiva. She is the presiding deity for fragrance and beauty. At the time of Pralaya, as Lord Shiva, being the Samhaaraka, does Samhaara till the Svarloka, that’s why He is known as Sharva. Umadevi, also in Her Durga roopa, does the Samhaara along with Lord Shiva. That’s why She is also known as Sharvaani.

Worshipping Her, along with Lord Shiva, results in a long and happy married life, which is also known as Deergha Sumangalitva for women and strong familial bonds for the whole family. She, being Annapoorna Devi Herself, removes the hunger of the people, be it the hunger of food or the hunger of knowledge. Since She is golden in color, She is known as Gowry. She is the wife of Bhava (Lord Shiva), that’s why She is known as Bhavaani. Umadevi is thus a great devotee of Bhagavan Vishnu as per the Sattvika Puranas and Upanishads like the Kena Upanishad. Such is the glory of the consort of Lord Shiva, Umadevi!🙏😊

Uma is one of my favorite names of Parvatidevi!😊In this answer, we discussed not only the name Uma, but also other names like Haimavati, Mainaaki, Parvati, Aparna, Umaa, Sharvaani, Annapoorna, Gowry, Bhavaani. Wow! Nine names…😊😁

Hope this helps!

What is the meaning of "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958 movie)"?

 The above mentioned title is a Hindi idiom which means, “life must go on”.

In relation to the film, it refers to “the one that runs or moves is called a vehicle”.

The title itself is highly apt as it cleverly mirrors the movie’s central theme. The brothers (Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Anoop Kumar) own a garage and the garage is their vehicle of life (bread & butter).

The title acts as a light-hearted metaphor adapting to life’s chaos and all the sub-plots in the film.

The brothers own a 1928 Chevrolet Vintage car which frequently breaks down and needs repairs somewhat relating to the ups and downs in their life. Also, the phrase embodies the spirit of going with the flow and keeping the engine of life moving.

In the film, Ashok Kumar despises women and forbids his younger brothers from getting married. Here the title acts like a pun that their lives are much like a stalled car due to their anti-romance policy. When they fall in love, their stagnant lives starts moving ahead.

Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (the car) is the central core of the plot which is responsible for all the slapstick non-stop action, romantic mix-ups and family drama. The title also symbolises the non-stop, fast-paced rhythm of the protagonists lives.

What is the hidden meaning behind Krishna wearing a peacock feather on his crown?

 

" Sikhandi " is a magnificent name found in the *Vishnu Sahasranama*. Adi Shankara interpreted this name to mean "one who wears a peacock feather."

Since Krishna is a complete incarnation of Vishnu, sages perceived Krishna as “ Sikhandi “ as well.

" yatra yOgESvarah KrishnO ….." — Krishna is “ yOgESvara “, the Lord of Yoga.

The *Krishna Upanishad* reveals that the sound of the divine flute is heard when the time for liberation arrives.

Similarly, Patanjali said in his yOgasAstra:

" brahma-randhrO gatO nAdO mayUrO nAda uchyatE “ — this is a verse from Patanjali's Yoga Shastra. When practitioners, while engaged in yoga, guide the vital breath (*prana*) from the *Muladhara* (root chakra) up through the *Sushumna* nadi—surpassing the *Ajna Chakra* and reaching the *Sahasrara*—they hear a wondrous sound. Patanjali describes this sound as resembling the call of a peacock (*mayura*).

This indicated that for those practicing yoga, hearing the call of a peacock signifies the completion of their spiritual practice.

Krishna is the one who can transform a spiritual aspirant into a *Yogi*. Because there is a connection between the practice of yoga and the call of the peacock, our sages envisioned Krishna wearing a peacock feather.

The meaning of true love from a MAN

It’s sad to say, but many women might go their whole lives without knowing what true love really feels like.

It’s even a bit depressing to think that most people will never understand how powerful this idea is.

This man is a great example of how men should treat their partners every day.

Sadly, we live in a time where many men don’t know what it means to be a real man.

Here are some qualities of a real man:

A real man asks how your day was and really cares about your answer.

He respects your space and never pushes you to do things you’re not ready for.

He makes time for you and wants to know who you are as a person.

A real man shows effort every single day.

He might call you during the day just to see how you are feeling.

He is truly committed to you and always looks for new ways to love you even more.

He prioritizes protecting your heart above all.

A real man doesn’t make big decisions based on temporary feelings.

He is clear about how he feels about you.

A real man says sorry when he’s wrong and stays true to himself.

He won’t hesitate to hurt someone else’s feelings to protect yours.

A real man shows you affection without expecting anything in return.

He doesn’t pay attention to other women; you are the only one for him.

From the very start, he has real intentions and makes you feel like a priority, not an option.

A real man will help you heal from past hurts that have never been apologized for.

He values you and will never put himself in a position to lose you.

Take this advice: wait for a man who makes sure you never go to bed doubting your worth.

Different meanings of Life

Meaning of life is different for everyone. You can see it in your neighborhood.

• One believes in success.
• One believes to have someone in his life then only life can get completed.
• One has quest for the divine.
• One believes in earning only.
• One believes in earning and spending on his aspirations.

Depending what do we want? What can quench our thirst? What can complete us? What can take us to stand at the pinnacle of happiness?

Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives. Even after we finish school, even after we get a job , even after we start making money, we fail to clearly define what we want from this life.

It’s a struggle almost every adult goes through in life. “What do I want to do with my life” ?”What I’m passionate about”?

Because there are so many answers to this question, it’s important to find that resonates us like , some say :—

• The meaning of life is to be happy,

• The meaning of life is to be at peace with yourself,

• The meaning of life is developing feeling of contentment ,

• The meaning of life is serving humanity,

• The meaning of life is to leave legacy,

• The meaning of life is to love others,

• The meaning of life is to create your own meaning,

• The meaning of life is to make a positive difference,

• The meaning of life is to have a variety of experiences,

• The meaning of life is to find something important enough to justify sufferings .

I mean , the concept for “meaning of life” is endless, people interpreting things as per their wisdom & thoughts , making spirituality a complex ,conflicting , chaotic & mysterious experience in itself.

Part of the problem is the concept of “life meaning ”itself . The idea that we’re each born for some higher purpose & now it’s our cosmic mission to find it is the shitty logic used to justify things.

People come to wonder about the meaning of life for a number of different reasons.

May be they are inherently curious, or they have recently experienced a family tragedy, may be they’re questioning their faith or they are going through a depression or pressures in life & are looking for a renewed sense of meaning to escape the sufferings.

So, when people say, “what should I do with life”? or “what’s the meaning of life” ? What they are actually asking is” What can I do with my time that’s important?”

This is definitely a better question to ask. It’s far more manageable & it doesn’t have all the ridiculous baggage that the “ life meaning ” question demands.

There’s no reason for us to be contemplating the cosmic significance of our life while sitting on a couch all day eating potatoes.

Rather we should get off our ass & discover what feels important to us & go for it.Basically discovering meaning in our lives should be something that’s fun & interesting & not a chore.

Truth is , we exist on this planet for some determined period of time & we do things during the time available to us .Some of these are important & Some are not.

The important things that we do gives our lives meaning & happiness while the unimportant ones just kill time.

Everything sucks, some of the time.Everything involves some sort of struggle & sacrifice . There’s is no free lunch on earth. Nothing is goody- goody all the time.

It’s our ability to handle our struggles, the rough patches of our life, our tolerance threshold that determines the person that we become ultimately.

Suppose we want to become a brilliant doctor or a lawyer or a tech entrepreneur or a professional artist but we can’t handle failure, embarrassment,if we can’t stand 90 hrs work week then definitely we’re not going to make it far.

What unpleasant experiences in life we are capable of handling, make us what we become in future.

If you avoid anything that embarrass you, then you are done away with instantly. It all comes back to vulnerability.

Living a life avoiding embarrassment is akin to living a life with your head in the sand .

Great things are , by their very nature, unique & unconventional. To achieve them , we must go against the herd mentality. And to do that is scary but do it .

Find a problem you care about & start solving it. What most people fail to understand is that the passion is the result of action, not the cause of it.

Discovering what you are passionate about in life & what matters to you is a trial & error process.

We exactly don’t know how it feels to do the activity until we actually do the activity.

Most of us don’t like thinking about death. It freaks us out. But thinking about our own death surprisingly has a lot of practical advantages.

One of those is it forces us to zero in on what’s actually important in our lives & what’s just frivolous & distracting.

Ultimately death only gives us perspective on the value of our life.

Because it’s only by imagining our non-existence that we can get a sense of what’s most important about our existence & hence meaning of our life.

When people have no sense of direction , no meaning in life , it’s because they have not identified their goals in life.

And when we don’t know the values of our lives,we live with the priorities of others , instead of our own .
