Trishul Pendant

Trishul has great significance in hindu religion , it is in the hands of almost all the deities but it but the significance is even more when it is held by lord shiva or goddess . Now why trishul has been given so much of significance in our culture does have a very deep meaning which is beyond the apparent . Let us try to understand.
The three prongs of trishul represents — trinity –brahma , vishnu , mahesh ; sarasvati , lakshami and kaali ; 3—modes of nature --creation, maintenance and destruction ; the 3 --kaala---past, present and future ; the 3-- gunas - sat , raj , tam . 3-- lokas—swarg , bhu and patal ; 3-- powers---will , action and wisdom ; 3—types of miseries –physical , menatal and spiritual .
Lord shiva’s trishul is supposed to destroy ----the physical world—attachment to gross the illusionary world which seems so real ; the world of the mind---the ahamkaar or ego which is a barrier between me and him -–thus transforms to be in the third world that is the world of spirituality –thus leads to oneness shiva into a single non-dual plane of existence, that is bliss alone.
