Lord Shiva is believed to be kind to his devotees. Offering prayers to him is not hard at all if devotees can pray from deep within their souls. Compared to other Lords, the devotees can connect more closely to Shiva. This is the reason the strongest creator of the Trimurti is also called “Bham Bhole”. The most innocent and simple life of this God is connected to human life. Luxury, money, and greed cannot influence him all he needs is simplicity and creations. But while placing the Lord of the mountains at home, it is essential to know a few basic facts when placing Shiva Linga. As placing them at any corner of a room may bring negative energy to the home and family.

Never Face the Shiva Linga Idol At the North

Placing any idol or picture facing the north direction of the house is not preferable. Lord Shiva’s idol cannot be placed facing the north as it does not bring in any positive vibes. So always avoid these specific directions to place lords. Ishaan Kon according to the Vaastu is always the best for placing any temple or idols. North-east is known as the Ishan Kon which is best to avoid all kinds of negative energy.
But for Lord Shiva, the best place is placing him on the north and facing towards the south direction. It helps in increasing peace in the house. Removing lethargy, laziness, and quarrels inside the house.

Permissible south but you facing north or east
The southern corner of the house can be preferable for placing Lord Mahdev’s idol or linga. Also, the west is reserved for Nandi, the Vahana of Lord Shiva. Nandi should always face Lord Shiva and so he should oppose Nandi in the temple. Mostly in temples, it is so, but in homes or houses, temples generally have Shiva Linga. An idol of black stone can be placed on the south unless you can offer prayer sitting north or east directions.
Apart from placing the idol of a lord, sitting and praying position and direction becomes essential.

Place Shiva Linga on the North

Placing Lord Shiva is considered the best for Lord Shiva. If there is enough space to create a space at the North for him it can bring the best positivities. Better to avoid other directions and corners of the house. When image or idol can be placed in Mahadev’s favorite direction.
North is the direction in which Mt. Kailash the home of Mahadev stands high. It is the place he had spent hundreds of years meditating. So, do it if it is possible to avoid the other corners. Placing him in the north is the appropriate place.

Om, the symbol should be placed at the entrance to bring good vibes to the house. Keeping away the evils away from the house. Also, avoid angry or Rudra images of which may bring anger and sadness around further if put in the wrong directions in the house. Meditation pictures of Lord Shiva are considered to be the best picture that one should place at home. Shiva Linga can be placed as a beautiful decor and praying idol at the same time.

Knocking out an opponent is just one of the very few things, Mary Kom has accomplished over a period of time.

Her life has changed drastically ever since the former’s appearances in the boxing ring.

The world might have seen many top notch female boxers but India, hardly produced any. But the year 2000, a lady from the north east, a region of India which is highly traceable and the natives are ‘ghettoed’ by the citizens, gave this country a rising star.

Not a young woman or a tall, dark and handsome man but a mother of two!

Yes, her name was Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom. Mary was born to a poor tribal family in Manipur’s Kangathei village. Her grandmother named her ‘Mary’ which meant ‘prosperous’ in their lingual tribe.

It was not long before Mary found inspiration from her native fellow boxer Dingko Singh who had clinched gold at the 1998 Asian Games.

Since then, the lady was found herself into the sport so much that she moved to Imphal to train in athletics. Even after ignoring her family’s calls for not taking up sports, Mary tried her level best to get into the sporting world. She would train late into the nights, even after academies’ students went away into their homes but the former tried punching the bag so hard, eventually it would fall.

In the year 2001, Mary lost in the final and had to settle for a silver medal at the AIBA World Championships.

A year later, she returned, now stronger and competitive, clinched her first ever gold medal at the event.

Down the years, Mary Kom continued to dominate the women’s boxing category till the year 2006 where she took an eminent break due to the birth of her twins. She returned onto the boxing ring once again, in 2008, winning her 4th successive World Championships.

Glories followed for the ‘Magnificent Mary’, a title stated by the All India Boxing Association for her past achievements.

Mary kept getting the rewards for the patience and hard work, she had put in. After all those troubles in the boxing ring and outside it, Mary walked away with many posthumous titles that included the Arjuna Award in 2004, Padma Shri Award in 2006 and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in 2009 for her achievements in Boxing.

That did not stop there, as Mary became the first female Indian boxer to win a medal (bronze) at the Olympics (2012). And since then, a mother of two and proud wife, has not looked back. With some efforts from the government and charitable trusts, Mary is also a proud owner of a India’s first ever ‘female fight club’.

This country has seen some major downpour over the years.

Especially the women, who have been neglected, ignored and ashamed by the male superiority! Our politicians, sportstars, directors, chairpersons, bank managers etc. have all seen the rise of the alpha male. Women were never counted and it will never be this way but, there’s always a but!

Women have matched toe to toe with the male counterparts in our country and the best example one can give is none other than MC Mary Kom.

A daughter, mother, wife and a player; Mary has carved a niche for other women as well, who are fighting their own battles.

Priyanka Chopra might have brought alive the character of ‘Mary’ on the big screen, but the legacy of ‘Magnificent Mary’ lives on.
