Meenyugal
Meen Yugal - a pair of fish.
It is one of the eight auspicious symbols - Asthmangal.
Significance: just as a fish swims in the ocean, we must also swim and cross the worldly ocean. it destroys sorrow and brings happiness in life.
It could have been a single fish, then why are there two? A person comes alone, goes alone. But he lives amongst people and shares his knowledge with people. He does his "Sadhana" alone. Pandemic has given us enough time alone to reflect, but we are missing the human quotient also (even an introvert like me sometimes do that).
A fish swims in water, but at times we forget to flow. Instead we hold on to old attachments and grudges with old people. That probably creates sorrow. A Meenyugal teaches us to flow, value the journey and swim towards happiness.
