Good morning to all the readers of golos.io. This is my participation in the contest made by @ slon21veka In the slogan "I picked up the" Elephant "for the relay race" For more information enter here Consultations and rules Said this Let the hunt begin!
Something very striking happens to me with the elephants, I had never really paid much attention, I started doing it when I learned about this contest, now I see elephants everywhere, before I did it too but did not pay much attention, my first gift at birth, then they came in key dates such as my 25th birthday and in the latter, when my 5 decades have passed, since then I have been more concerned with knowing its meaning, elephants are objects of good luck, it clearly expresses it in feng shui. A few days ago I received an Indian coin that I had bought, without knowing that an elephant would come printed, much less that it would be "Ganesha", a god well known in India, who curiously is the god of abundance.
A few days ago I visited the city center, how could it be otherwise with the camera lying down, I do not know if it happens to you or it is just me that happens to me, I can not go out without my camera and walk seeing what interesting thing meeting to publish in Golos.io, in short, I walked towards the post, I bought some objects on the web that are arriving, meters before arriving I was tempted by a beautiful flowers.
After finishing my paperwork in the Argentine mail, with my wife we decided to walk through the imposing pedestrian Junín, Junín pedestrian street is the most important in my city, there is concentrated all the commercial activity, if you want a product and it is not in the pedestrian Junín, means that it does not exist, the pedestrian crosses the entire center of the city, there are many blocks to walk, a few blocks before finishing the walk, something caught my attention.
Another white elephant enclosed in a huge glass box.
This specimen presented a different attitude to the other small one, you can appreciate its presence, strong and powerful attitude.
I returned home convinced that I must have some kind of link with the elephants, tempted by my thoughts and attracted by my curiosity I started looking for its meaning on the internet, that's how I found the meaning of white elephants.
What I could appreciate in the note of "elefanteswiki" can enter here to see the original note, the white elephant terminology, is used in many popular expressions, can mention or reference a large debt, a very large or old building u other big reasons that go with the expression.
It was the Thais who started using this terminology in reference to the white elephant, the "chang samkhan", which means "elephants of good omens". Its meaning is based on the "white" color that is seen as the color of "purity"
In India the white elephant is presumed to belong to the "God Indra", very popular in the tradition and is called as "Airavata" "the flying elephant" considered with the lord or king of all the elephants.
In Thailand white elephants, also called "pink elephants" are sacred animals and represents "power" to the point that kings, their powers are evaluated by the amount of white elephants that has.
It is because of this tradition that all the white elephants that exist are owned by the kingdom and every time a villager finds a white elephant he has to give immediate notice to the kingdom's collaborators.
I hope that all this information has been of your liking. I want to express my gratitude to @ slon21veka for the invitation to participate in the contest!
