Molee's Sensational Art Work

Art work by Anirudh Sainath Aka Molee who is self taught artist!

Lord Rama riding hanuman, ready to face his adversary Ravana!


Brahma - is the Hindu god of creation and one of the Trimūrti, the others being Viṣņu and Śiva. According to the Brahmā Purāņa, he is the father of Manu, and from Manu all human beings are descended. In the Rāmāyaņa and the Mahābhārata, he is often referred to as the progenitor or great grandsire of all human beings.

 Hanuman is a disciple of Lord Rama in the war against the demon king Ravan!

Hari-Hara - Shiva(hara) and Vishnu(hari) in unity
 Rama: Lord Vishnu's 7th AVATAR

 Humbled ocean!
This is the incident where lord ram demands the sea to give way to lanka!

 Krishna 8th avatar of lord vishnu!

 Krishna's departure from earth..
The Mahabharata also narrates the story of a hunter who kills Krishna. The hunter Jara, mistook Krishna's partly visible left foot for that of a deer, and shot an arrow wounding and killing him mortally. Krishna's soul then ascended to heaven, while his mortal body was cremated by Arjuna. After Krishna's death it is known that the Kali yugam has started.

 
Murugan-The God Of WarMurugan aka Kartikeya,is the second son of shiva(god of destruction)

 Narasimha Krishna
One fine day krishna turns transform into narasimha to kill a demon.. coincidentally he saved a swan from becoming its meal.
This is from krishna's life and not from the original narasimha who tore hirinyakashipu apart.

 Parashurama the 6th avatar of lord vishnu was and will always be the greatest warrior in Indian culture. He was a great martial arts master and the co-founder of the martial art named Kalaripayattu. He was known for the genocide of the Kshatriya clan.
he killed many Kshatriya warriors for revenge of his father's murder and his mother's humiliation. He indiscriminately killed all men from the Kshatriya community, his anger was finally subdued by Lord Rama.

 Krishna as Parthasarathy!
His face was completly scarred by bhishma's arrows in the mahabharata war.  Trivia: did u know that indians invented gunpowder and firearms as opposed to people's belief that chinese invented it?

 Rudra is another name for Lord Shiva

 Sage Agastya
Is the founder of the martial art, kalaripayattu and the language tamil.
Agastya is a Chiranjivee, which means he ages very slowly, so slow that he's capable of living for a million years, so he's supposed to be living even today.

 Shiva


Yama - God of Death
Yama was the son of the Sun-God,(Vivasvan).
He was a very revered deity in ancient india as opposed to how people tend to treat him now.
Yama was the first mortal being in this world along with his sister Yami. He is the indian counterpart of Adam.
Being the first mortal,Yama embraced death fearlessly and so he became the ruler of the after-life.
Yama is frightening in appearance as he is the personification of death/time and so he is also known as Kala. Though time/death may look frightening, it is our friend as time is a remover of sorrow. One must not be afraid of death and embrace it when it comes as it is something inevitable ,but I have to agree... it is indeed easy to say but very hard to do.

 Vayu-the god of wind

 Hanuman lifting the Rishabha mountain with his tail
and yeah he's a giant here.. he has this ability to shape shift.
He has 8 superpowers(Ashta Siddhi) actually which he controls by will.
  1. Ahima: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom
  2. Mahima: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size
  3. Garima: becoming infinitely heavy
  4. Laghima: becoming almost weightless
  5. Prapti: having unrestricted access to all places
  6. Prakamya: realizing whatever one desires
  7. Istva: possessing absolute lordship;
  8. Vastva: the power to subjugate all.

Hindu Mythology: Mighty king of the devas

In Hindu mythology, Indra is the god of war, the lord of thunder and storms besides being the king of the gods or devas. He is, in fact, the chief god of the Rig Veda, other than Agni the lord of fire.

Indra was also a great warrior and the strongest of all beings. As such he was the defender of the gods and mankind against the forces of evil. He is also regarded as one of the guardians of the directions, and is believed to represent the east. With the god of the sky as his father and the earth goddess as his mother, it is said that Indra was born fully grown and fully armed. Married to Indrani, Indra's sons include the famed Arjuna.

Weilding his celestial weapon Vajra, or the bolt of lightning, Indra is the one who brought water to the earth. The legend goes that the demon Vritra took the form of a mighty dragon, and stole all the waters of the world. No one could do anything about this until Indra was born. Upon hearing what had happened, Indra vowed to bring back the life-giving liquid. He rode forth to meet the terrible Vritra and managed to pass through all of Vritra's ninety-nine fortresses before he slaughtered the huge dragon and brought the stolen water back to earth.

Yet another legend tells of how Vritra, a huge serpent, was created by Tvashtri to get revenge for Indra's murder of his son, Trisiras, whose increasing power had worried Indra. The battle was won by Vritra who then swallowed Indra. He was, however, forced by the other gods to vomit Indra out. A truce was then brought about between Vishnu and the rishis, on the condition that Indra swore that he would not attack Vritra with anything made either of metal, wood or stone, or anything that was either dry or wet, during the day or the night. So Indra used the foam from the waves of the ocean to kill Vritra at twilight.

It is believed that Indra lives in Svarga in the clouds around Mount Meru. Deceased warriors, it is said, go to his hall after death where they watch the apsaras and the Gandharvas dance and play games.

1 lakh can dine at Shirdi daily

The Saibaba temple trust here has built what is billed to be Asia's biggest ‘prasadalaya', a dining hall with a seating capacity of 5,500, making it possible to feed more than 100,000 devotees daily.

The Sri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, on an average, spends Rs 19 crore annually on feeding pilgrims visiting Shirdi.

The prasadalaya, constructed at a cost of Rs 24 crore, was inaugurated by President Pratibha Patil on Tuesday. The complex is built on 7.5 acres of land and has a built-up area of 183,000 sq feet. It is 700 metres from the main Saibaba temple.

A gigantic hall has been constructed on the ground floor, which can seat 3,500 devotees. Two separate halls have been constructed on the first floor with a seating capacity of 1,000 each.

Fourteen domes made of polycarbonate and Manglorean tiles have been con structed to give ample natural light to the hall, so that power cuts do not disturb the activities in the prasadalaya during daytime.

"The work of the prasadalaya has been going on for 15 months and it will be fully functional in two months."

The meals served at the Sansthan are at highly subsidised rates of Rs 5.

Huge refrigerating rooms have been built for keeping vegetables fresh. Most of the cooking will be done with solar energy.

"All the cooking will be done with modern machines, giving top priority to hygiene."

According to the trust, Shirdi has become one of India's most visited pilgrim places after Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. On a normal day, around 20,000 devotees visit Shirdi whereas the number increases to about 60,000 during a festival.
