In all ancient cultures lightning serves as an expressive sign of power, speed, movement and is an attribute of the god-thunderer, the king of the gods. Lightning, connecting the sky and the earth, represents the divine will, the creative impulse that is transmitted to the earth and becomes the driving force behind people and events. Lightning was seen as a sign sent by the gods; places struck by lightning were considered sacred and people struck by lightning were marked by the divine.
Being expression of divine anger and image of destructive "heavenly fire", lightning at the same time can be also beneficial, personifying awakening of internal vital forces. Psychologically lightning can be seen as a crisis and at the same time as an ability to see in the darkness new horizons, to find a way out. Knowledge of the Truth is like a flash of lightning in its suddenness, power and shock. "The immediacy of spiritual insight has been compared to lightning in many religions. Moreover: the sudden flash of lightning, breaking up the darkness, was regarded as mysterium tremendum, which, transforming the world, fills the soul with sacred awe.
(Mircea Eliade).

The Vedas mention Trita, a very ancient deity, believed to be the personification of lightning. He is associated with water, with fire and the sky. Lightning as heavenly fire is one of the hypostases of Agni; it is also associated with the destructive fire of the "third eye" of Shiva (the Vedic Rudra). One of Shiva's feats was the destruction of Tripura, the capital of the asuras, with one arrow: "Then the three-eyed Shiva quickly fired a destructive arrow. The sky turned red, as if molten gold and purple had mingled, and the glitter of the arrow merged with the rays of the sun. The arrow burned the three strongholds like a stack of straw. Closely related to the symbol of lightning is the vajra, the mythical weapon of the thunder god Indra. The vajra (Sanskrit for "diamond", "lightning") is called the "lightning-thrower" and is considered to be the power that destroys enemies and all kinds of ignorance.
The vajra is also one of the most important symbols of Buddhism and denotes the spiritual power of the Buddha to split the illusory realities of the world. Tibetan Buddhists call the vajra "dorje." It symbolizes the strength, clarity, and all-conquering power of the Buddha's teachings.

Hello, dear readers of the Sprint Answer website. Today we have Friday, October 13, 2021 on our calendars, which means that our site traditionally prints the answers to the "Field of Miracles" game.

What was a symbol of breaking lightning in Russia?

- symbol of breaking lightning, see I, 131) and leaves it at the crossroads...
The poker is used for shoveling coals, moving wood in a burning fireplace or stove. It is usually a thick iron rod bent at the end at right angles. Also in ancient times, the poker was called ojig
- Wooden stick burnt at one end. With it in the Russian villages stirred coals in the stoves, raked up ashes, and if necessary, it could be used as a smoking kindling for lighting the hut.

(ancient name of poker) and
burn
(symbol of the striking lightning). The correct answer to the question of the final round:
The poker
