Krishna Janmashtami And Its Benefits
When viewed as a weapon, the Trishul is an object, a weapon for the destruction of the evil around us. This evil is materialistic as well as spiritual.
The three points of the Trishul represent creation, preservation and destruction. Apart from this, the three points also represent the three qualities of human beings in the material world- rajas (dynamic energy), tamas (negative, inactive, stagnant) and sattva (balanced, perceiving). Upon closer inspection of various images one would realize that Lord Shiva is usually holding the handle of the Trishul, meaning he has surpassed and is beyond all these gunas. The Trishul is believed to make the devotees of Shiva rich, at least in the spiritual world.
Yogic symbolismLord Shiva is a recurring figure in Yoga as well. In Yogic symbolism, the Trishul represents the nadis or the current energies within one's body. An attempt is made by the practitioners of yoga to balance out the energies and they believe that these energies ultimately converge in a Trishul like shape in our body.
The Trishul of Shiva is ultimately a symbol and a means of auspiciousness. It helps garner and brew positive thoughts and creates a fulfilling vibe all around. Unfortunately one cannot carry a Trishul around for positivity. Hence a far more feasible option is the Narmadeshwar Shiva Linga which is brimming with the blessings and energy of Lord Shiva, making it an extremely potent holy stone. Just being in its presence helps get rid of the negativity.
