Story of Shani Bhagavan in Female Form and Hanuman

Shani Bhagavan in female form and Hanuman is the story of the famous Sarangpur Hanuman Temple in Botad District, Gujarat. In the temple, Shani Bhagavan, in the form of a woman, is depicted as taking refuge at the feet of Hanuman. Legend has it that once Shani Bhagavan began to torment the people on earth in an excessive manner. People on earth had no peace and happiness. They complained to Lord Hanuman as he had control over all the Navgrahas. Sankat Mochan Hanuman was saddened by the plight of his devotees. He got angry at Shani Bhagavan and challenged him for a fight. When Shani Bhagavan came to know about the anger of Hanuman, Shani looked for ways to escape the wrath of Hanuman.

Flower In the Shape of Shivling – Shivlingachi Fula

The name of the tree is Cannonball Tree and its flowers are in the shape of a snake hood over a Shivling. The Shivling shape is very small. The tree is known as Shivlingachi Fula in Goa and Maharashtra . The tree is also found in South India especially in Kerala. In Goa , Couroupita guianensis is popular as Shivalinga Chya fulanche zhad as the petals of the flowers resemble the hood of a naga or cobra who is considered as a sacred snake, protecting a Shivling.  The tree, because of its brown and spherical shaped cannon ball like fruit, is also known as cannon ball tree. The flowers are orange, scarlet and pink in colour and form large bunches. The flowers do not have nectar but carpenter bees act as pollinators.  Both fruits and flowers grow on the tree's trunk.  Though the tree is native to the northern portion of South America, especially the Amazon basin and the southern Caribbean , it became one with Indian soil more than a thousand years ago.

Osho Thoughts on Shivnetra - the third eye of Shiva. Modern physiology says that between the two eyebrows is the gland that is the most mysterious part of the body. This gland, called the pineal gland, is the Shivnetra, the eye of the Shiva, of tantra. Between the two eyes there exists a third eye, but it is non-functioning. You have to do something to open it. Otherwise, it remains closed. Close your eyes and focus both eyes on space in the middle of your eyebrows. Give total attention to it. This is one of the simplest methods of being attentive. You cannot be attentive to any other part of the body so easily. This gland absorbs attention like anything. If you give attention to it, both your eyes become hypnotised with the third eye. They become fixed; they cannot move. The third eye forces attention. It is magnetic. Your attention is brought to it forcibly. It is absorbed. It is said in ancient tantra scriptures that for the third eye, attention is food. And once you
