Why does Lord Shiva wear a snake?
भगवान शिव सर्प क्यों धारण करते हैं?
शिव के गले में लिपटा सर्प वासुकि है — नागों का राजा। यह भय, मृत्यु और अहंकार पर शिव की विजय का प्रतीक है। सर्प काल (समय) और हर प्राणी की कुण्डलिनी शक्ति का प्रतीक है। जो दूसरों को नष्ट करता है, उसे केवल शिव ही धारण कर सकते हैं।

मयूर कार्तिकेय से क्यों जुड़ा है?
कार्तिकेय का वाहन मयूर 'परवानी' है, जो एक परास्त सर्प के ऊपर खड़ा है। मयूर सुंदरता, अभिमान और विष को निगलने की क्षमता (सर्प = अहंकार व वासना) का प्रतीक है। कार्तिकेय उस पर सवारी करते हैं जिससे अन्य डरते हैं — अभिमान को दिव्य शक्ति में बदलते हुए।

हनुमान को बजरंगबली क्यों कहते हैं?
'बजरंग' 'वज्र-अंग' से बना है — अर्थात् 'जिसका शरीर वज्र के समान कठोर हो'। जब शिशु हनुमान सूर्य की ओर छलाँग लगाने पर इंद्र के वज्र से आहत हुए, उनका जबड़ा टूटा — पर शरीर अटूट रहा। 'बली' का अर्थ है परम बलशाली। इस प्रकार — अजेय।

विष्णु क्षीरसागर में शेषनाग पर क्यों शयन करते हैं?
शेष (अनंत) एक अनंत ब्रह्मांडीय सर्प है जो अपने सहस्र फनों पर समस्त लोकों का भार धारण करता है। शेष पर विष्णु का शयन ब्रह्मांड के पालनकर्ता का अनंत चेतना में सृष्टि-चक्रों के बीच विश्राम है। 'अनंत' का अर्थ है 'जिसका कोई अंत नहीं' — विष्णु स्वयं अनंतता में विश्राम करते हैं।
