Third one

Today is my third post and i cannot believe it...it has been quite a while since i thought of something and actually accomplished it...

Number 3 in hindu mythology places a significant part: as per hindus, there are 3 entities governing the universe:brahma, vishnu and maheshwara...out of these, brahma is the creator, vishnu is the preserver and maheshwara is the destroyer.

Maheshwara signifies destruction...Another correlation would be that maheshwara has three eyes and the opening of the third eye signals destruction...Probably number 3 might freak you out, but there is another side of number 3...maheshwara is the lord of renunciation, and the opening of the third eye is referred as removal of the veil between self and the almighty...

Does this mean that destruction is not always a bad thing? Probably so...for how can a person get a new perspective without destroying the older one.....how can the mind move to the lord if it lingers around the senses? May be destruction is not a bad thing esp. if it can get turn you towards something better, towards something more progressive...like a phoenix burning its older body to a newer one, may our old habits that kept us down be cast away...
