Why do we display violence towards God’s creatures? We hunt and poach animals for pleasure and profit (sell their body parts or eat them). What is it about us that makes us destroy the different species of fauna?

I am not being pessimistic or being the voice of doom. All these creatures which dwell in the oceans, forests, mountains and land are targets. Yet when we think about them, they are connected to us spiritually and we cannot survive without them. I decided to write about the fauna and how we are ill-treating it instead of venerating it. We seek to hurt and harm them. When you look at the associations that we have with them, we can and must live with them in a symbiotic relationship.

How do we view the different categories of mammals, vertebrate and groups? A sighting of one of them, brings an association of a powerful thought and a sense of wellbeing.

Gods creatures

Tigers represent strength, majesty and immortality. The tiger is the vehicle of Goddess Durga.

Black cats are thought of as being associates of witches and also of actually shape shifting themselves into witches. However, if a black cat crosses one’s path, then it is considered good luck.

A tortoise or a turtle is seen as a symbol of wisdom, endurance, long life and knowledge. It represents earth and water.

A lizard is linked to the sun, light and regeneration. Lizards are patient, determined and have the skill to blend into their surroundings.

Snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skins, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation and healing. They also represent continual renewal of life.

Crows symbolize death, the afterlife, wisdom, intelligence, fortune and adaptability. They also represent change or transformation.

Swans represent love, devotion, romance, clairvoyance, inner beauty and grace. It is considered a symbol for the soul in the Hindu faith. The belief is that it is capable of separating milk from water once they have been mixed. The meaning is that it is the display of great spiritual discrimination.

The list is endless of the creatures which are getting extinct. We have to save mother earth by being ecologically sound and respectful of the flora and fauna.
