LalithA SahasranAma [275] bhAnumandalamadhyasthA

[Guest guest]

bhAnumandalamadhyasthA : Abiding in the midst of the sun's disc.

 

In the samdhyA time Devi should be meditated upon that. The VedAnta-

Sutra [i. 1. 20] explains the Sruti [ChAn. Up. I. 6.6]. "The golden

man seen within the sun etc." as the supreme Lord. The KUrma Pr. in

the hymns composed to Devi, by HimavAn says, "I bow down to the form

which is in the sun's disc, who is all the Vedas, the one object of

knowledge, who fills the different worlds with his brilliance, the

cause of the three worlds, known as the supreme Lord"

 

Or BhAmumandala is the AnAhata lotus

Dr. Suryanarayanamurthy, in his 1962 commentary, adds:

 

"BhAnu-Mandala-MadhyasthA [is Devi residing] at the center of the Sun.

The great light that is in the center of the Sun is [also] in the heart

of all creatures. The center of the Sun is now known to be the source

of all life and energy to us on the planet. BhAnumandala means AnAhata

Chakra also."
