Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Namaste.. Would please the sadkhaks who know explain the esoteric meaning behind Durga's vehicle being a Tiger? I have only been able to find the more obivous ones of strength, majesty, etc. I really need to know and any help and guidance would be so appreciated. My respects and thanks in advance.....

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Namaste, My view on tiger being Durga's vehicle is that, Tiger is the symbol for power of anger and also represents the anger qualities of human beings. Durga is shakthi (Power )She is the only goddess that can control this anger and drive. Hence she has tiger as her vehicle. I can not define my self as sadhak, but a worshiper.

Should the correct idea be : Tame? Its better to tame our anger, instead of trying to control it. We have to admit that anger is part and parcel of our survival instinct. Its okay to be angry and feel the anger within you, and its better if you are aware of this anger. Instead of allowing the anger control you therefore cloud your mind, you redirect this anger to a more productive use. It can be like a fuel that propels the jet engine. A tiger/lion is like the cat ...... You dont control a cat The cats comes to you only when they want to not when you want them. If you have a cat as a pet before you will understand. You can tame a cat but you cannot control them. They have a mind of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
