Why is Krishna colored blue?
One of the theories is that Vishnu, because of his association with water, is depicted blue; therefore all his incarnations including Krishna, are shown as such. In Hinduism, persons who have depth of character and the capacity to fight evil are depicted as blue skinned. Another theory refers to Vishnu implanting two hairs, one black and the other white in Devaki's womb which miraculously got transferred to Rohini's and as a result, from the black hair Krishna tool birth, with a dark skin, and from the white hair his brother Balarama.

The theory of the blue coloring of Krishna goes to the fact that the Creator has given the maximum of blue to nature i.e. the sky, the oceans, the rivers and lakes. The deity who has the qualities of bravery, manliness, determination, the ability to deal with difficult situations, of stable mind and depth of character is represented as blue colored. Lord Krishna spent his life protecting humanity and destroying evil, hence he is colored blue.


Why do Hindu Deities have so many arms?
Image worship crept almost imperceptibly into Indian religions and was not only finally sanctioned in the religious scriptures but the images themselves, and the rituals for their worship were also described in greater detail. One of the results of this process, more especially the merging of two or more deities, was that some of the gods were shown as having several qualities. Showing them with several arms when he made images of the gods solved the visual problem that this created for the sculptor or artist. Each hand would hold some object, which would symbolize or represent the various qualities of that particular deity. Some of the hands would be empty but the position of the fingers and the palms would signify the character of that god. For example, if the fingers are pointing towards the ground, it means that the god is of a charitable disposition whereas the fingers pointing upwards, as in a blessing, signify a protector. These gestures symbolized their individual powers and differentiated them from other deities.


What is Atman (soul)?
Atman is that part of the living being that is eternal and beyond physical description. It is the true Self, the eternal soul that dwells within but has no personal characteristics. Atman is the birthless, deathless reality that is at once the innermost being of each person and the inmost being of all that, which exists. Atman, more fully, is that which pervades all; which is the subject and which knows experiences and illuminates the subjects and which remains always the same. In many of the Upanishads the meaning of atman is uncertain, since it may designate either the supreme and transcendent spirit or the finite individual self of man. According to Vedanta philosophy, the atman is of the same nature as the Universal Soul (Brahman), and as such seeks union with it in mystical liberation (Moksha).


What does Namaskar mean?
Namaskar is the most popular form of greeting in India. It is a general salutation and is used as a welcome and also a farewell. Namaskar also means 'I BOW TO THEE'. The palms are placed together and raised to touch the forehead, the position of the Third Eye. Together, the hands symbolize the One Mind; or the Self, meeting the Self; the right hand representing the holy, or higher nature, and the left, the worldly, or lower nature. Another term used for this greeting is namaste. Namaste may have originated in the ancient times as a showing of hands to prove that no arms were being carried.

Anjaneya

Hanuman, also known as 'Anjaneya' (son of Anjana mata) or Maruti, is one of the most worshipped Hindu god. He is Parama bhaktha (Staunch or ardent devotee of Lord Rama). Rama is present in each and every breath of Hanuman. Whereever Rama Nama Jaap is done, there appears this purest selfless bhaktha, ShreeRamabantu (servant of Rama).
Anjana matha along with her husband Kesari performed intense prayers to Shiva to beget them a child. Pleased with their devotion, Shiva granted them the boon they sought.Hence, Lord Hanuman is also known as "Maharudra" because he was born out of the boon given to Anjana by Shiva who is known as Rudradeva.
Devotees worship Hanuman on Tuesday and Saturday by offering Sindhuram ( Orange Vermillion), beetle leaves, Appams (Sweet dish made of Jaggery), Bananas, Butter, Mustard oil lamps which pleases Hanuman. Any graha dosha caused due to Saturn Maharaj will be driven away by worshipping Hanuman.

The story behind worshipping hanuman with sindhoor goes like this. After the battle (Rama & Ravan Yuddham) and defeat of Ravana, Lord Rama and Seetha retuned to Ayodhya. Hanuman who is an ardent devotee of Rama asked Seetha maa, the reason for applying Sindhoor (Hindu custom of applying vermillion on married women's forehead ). Sita mata replied " Sindhoor keeps her with DHEERGHA SUMANGALI which mean increase the lifespan of her husband Rama. The very next moment Hanuman applied Sindhoor all over his body. Sree Rama and Sita questioned Hanuman for decorating his body with Sindhoor. Hanuman replied " My prabhu (lord rama) should have a longlife, so applied all over my body". From then, Lord Rama granted a boon to hanuman that whoever worship this parama bhaktha Anjaneya with sindhoor, their wishes get fulfilled, blessed with long life and are also equally loved by Rama.
Worshipping Lord Hanuman protect devotees from the troubles of Sanidev. Lord Hanuman is said to have rescued Shanidev from the clutches of Ravana in Ramayana and in gratitude Shanidev promised to reduce his ill effects on Hanuman devotees especially if they pray to Lord Hanuman on Saturdays.

Another version goes like this, it is said that when it was time for Sanidev to influence the life of Lord Hanuman, Shanidev climbed on to Hanuman's shoulder and fearless Hanuman immediately assumed a large size, and Shanidev was caught painfully between Hanuman's shoulders. As the pain was untolerable, Shanidev requested Lord Hanuman to release him and in return promised to reduce the malefic effects of Shani for those who pray Hanuman.Thus worship of Lord Hanuman is recommended to reduce the harsh effects of the unfavourable presence of Lord Shanidev.
