Guest guest Posted July 18, 2000 Report Share Posted July 18, 2000 SHE is fond of the parijata flowers. The term svayambhu kusuma indicates paarijaata for two reasons. It came into being on its own when the milk ocean was churned and the second parijata is one of the two flowers (other being bakula) which can be offered to God after it has fallen down (on its own) to the ground. All other flowers has to plucked. SHE is fond of these flowers. If one searches of a metaphorical meaning for this name, one can say that SHE like mind of the devotee being offered as the flower with devotion. Since samsara is anaadi and mind (jiiva) is also anaadi. God did not create the individual jiiva (otherwise we can accuse HER of being arbitrary, as it has no puurva karma to enjoy the fruits, vide shankara bhaashya of trishatii). Of all the flowers that offered to HER, mind is the best. As the verse gabhiire kaasaare* of shiivaanandalaharii exhorts, why search in vain for flowers when the devotee can offer his mind to God as a flower. SHE is fond of that type of devotion which exemplifies surrender. AUM svayambhu kusuma priyaayai namaH Please send your corrections and additions. Your help in my quest to understand these names will be gratefully appreciated. you can find the pictures of bakula and parijata at http://members.aol.com/parijata/parijata.html http://members.aol.com/parijata/bakula.html * gabhiire kaasaare vishati vijane ghoravipine vishaale shaile cha bhramati kusumaarthaM jaDamatiH | samarpyaikaM chetaH sarasijamumaanaatha bhavate sukhenaavasthaatuM jana iha na jaanaati kimaho || 9|| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
