In Hinduism, Lord Shiva is regarded as the representation of the Supreme Being. He is known as the third element in the Hindu Trinity (Trimurti), the other two members being Lord Brahma - the creator and Lord Vishnu - the protector. Shiva is the destructive form of the Almighty. As the cycle of destruction and recreation is always in a circle, Shiva’s primary responsibility is maintaining the life cycle. Scholars say, as the Mahakaal, Shiva destroys and dissolves everything into nothingness but as Shankara, he also reproduces that which has been destroyed and dissolved. His symbol of Lingam or the phallus represents this reproductive power.
Lord Shiva is also considered to be the most unique of all Hindu gods and also the God of all. A great ascetic, Shiva is the only godhead who is forever in deep meditation, totally absorbed in contemplation in His abode, Kailaasa Mountain in the great Himalaya. Lord Shiva is also said to be inseparable from Shakti - Parvati the daughter of Himavaan - Haimavati. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one - or the absolute state of being.
Shiva is often shown with many faces, as creator, destroyer and preserver in total command of the cosmos. He contains both good and evil. He is moody, free of inhibitions, easy to please, protector of the down trodden, and has the power to alter the laws of destiny. Thus, it is Lord Shiva is known as the God of mercy and kindness. He protects his devotees from all evil that are always around us. He blesses his followers with grace, knowledge and peace.

Ganesha is the benevolent and benign god of wisdom and remover of all obstacles. As the bestower of Siddhi, success, he is one of the most beloved gods of the Hindu pantheon, adored by his devotees in spite of his elephant head and single tusk. Gentle, calm and propitious, he epitomises prudence and is also a patron of literature.
In the Vedas, Ganesha began as Ganapati, lord of Ganas, the group of minor deities who serve the angry god Rudra. Originally the Ganas were the turbulent hosts of Rudra and were usually invoked to avoid misfortune and ward off evil.However, over the years he has become a deity with his own cult, temples, and festivals. His worshippers are called Ganapatyas and hymns to his praise are found in the Ganapati Prakarana of the Yajnavalkya Samhita and sects worshipping Ganesha had appeared by the time of the Guptas. His special festival is Ganesha Chaturthi in the month of Ashvin just after the monsoons, when giant images are worshipped, especially in Maharashtra.

Hanuman is the ever-living (Chiranjeevi) son of Lord Vayu and remains a very popular deity among Hindus. A bachelor and a fiercely loyal devotee himself (to Rama), his heroics in the war of Ramayan have inspired several tales of Indian mythology. Hanuman is the only character that appears in both the Hindu epics, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat, which are spread across millennia.

This Hanuman, who possesses ocean-like unfathomable knowledge and
virtue, incomparable might and earth-like steadfastness, is known and
worshipped primarily as the redeemer in crisis : ‘Ko nahi janat hai
jaga mein Kapi Sankata-mochana nama tinharo’ – who knows not in the
world, O Monkey-god, redeemer in crisis is thy name. And, the laudation
is least exaggerated. In theology or tradition of devotion, no god of
any pantheon in India is venerated so much for redeeming in crisis as
Hanuman. As occasions of misfortune outnumber those of happiness in
life, mankind looks more to him who redeems from misfortune rather than
him who bestows happiness.
God Hanuman Statues at ShalinCraft Stores:-
Hanuman, the redeemer, is hence more widely
worshipped and has a larger number of shrines dedicated to him than
even Rama, his master. Hanuman’s power to redeem is not a mere
theological conceptualisation or a believer’s hypothesis, his life, as
it reveals in different sources, is its example. In Rama-katha – story
of Rama’s life, which is broadly also the story of Hanuman’s life, this
emissary and servant of Rama often rises above his master at least in
the face of a crisis.
God Hanuman Sculptures at Amazon.com:-
Whatever Rama’s attributes as the supreme God or Vishnu’s incarnation, when broken hearted he wandered in search of Sita, Hanuman came to his aid. He not only pledged to his cause himself, Kishkindha’s monkey king Sugriva, his entire army and ministers, and discovered Sita but also initiated efforts for her recovery by waging a psychological war against Ravana. He put Lanka into flames leaving Lankans panicky, and brought to Rama’s fold Ravana’s brother Vibhishana without whose aid Rama’s victory over Ravana would not be so easy.

Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is believed to be the ninth avatar of Vishnu. The inclusion of the teacher of a heterodox sect that was critical of the Brahmanical religion in the Vishnu pantheon often surprises people.
The inclusion of the Buddha as an avatar is in fact a continuation of
an old tradition of absorbing and redefining any cult or belief that
rose to challenge the mainstream Hindu system. It had begun with the
Dravidina Shiva, when the Puranas claimed him as a god and continued
with the evolution of the Mother Goddess and local cults around the
worship of snakes and monkeys.

What is most intriguing about the surprising choice of the Buddha as an
avatar is the way myths were created to justify his inclusion, in spite
of the fact that his teachings were critical of the role of the
priesthood and of the caste system. It also reflects the Hindu
tradition of worship whatever is good on this earth. A simple
tolerance that makes them pray at Sufi shrines and go on pilgrimages on
Urs festivals. It is this generous ability to absorb and transform that
made Gautama Buddha an avatar of Vishnu.
Lord Buddha Statues at ShalinCraft Stores:-
Every living being has the same basic wish – to be happy and to avoid
suffering. Even newborn babies, animals, and insects have this wish. It
has been our main wish since beginning less time and it is with us all
the time, even during our sleep. We spend our whole life working hard
to fulfill this wish.
Since this world evolved, human beings have spent much time and energy
improving external conditions in their search for happiness and a
solution to their many problems. What has been the result?
Buddhist Statues & Sculptures at Amazon.com:-
Instead of their wishes being fulfilled, human suffering has continued to increase while the experience of happiness and peace is decreasing. This clearly shows that we need to find a true method for gaining pure happiness and freedom from misery.

the lunar month of Bhadrapad (Mid. August to Mid. Sept.) inside the
prison, at precisely 12 night, in the most difficult time his parents
were undergoing. Right from the very tender age he had to face
innumerable hazards caused by the vile forces. Even his birth took
place is the most trying circumstance as his own maternal uncle, Kansa,
wanted to kill him as early as possible to secure his own life.

Kansa
had heard a divine prophesy that his sister's eighth issue shall be his
nemesis. Although Kansa employed many tricks, demons and vile plans he
failed to kill krishna. Whethr it was Pootana, a demoness in Kansa's
employment who tried to kill the infant Krishan even by bresast feeding
him having her nipples imbued with a deadly poison of Keshi, Bakasura,
Trinatarta and scores of other demons and evil spirits but they all
failed. At last, despite all odds, Krishna, succeded in killing the
tyrant king of Mathura, Kansa, and peace was restored in the region.
