Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Dear Devi Devotees, Namaskars. In the Sthoola rupa Lalitha Para Bhattarika has in her right hand five types of arrows made of flowers. These flowers are: Name Of the Flower What Character it represents Lotus Flower Harshanam – To Please Neelothpalam Rochanam – To make it Palatable Sevvalli Mohanam -- To Charm Sevvamabal Soshanam -- To Dry or Evaporate Flower of Mango Tree Maaranam – To Erase Pl excuse if I am not able to translate or express the exact equivalents in English name of some of the flowers or the characters. The five arrows have three forms and they are: 1. Stoolam --- flowers in physical form 2. Suukshmam --- represents Mantras 3. Vaasana --- The PARA Rupa The adhistana Devata for these Arrows is Vaarahi OR Dhandanatha. The five arrows represents the five thanmatra or the five characters or the five elements which are Akasham (ether) thanmatra being Sound,Vaayu (air)thanmatra being Sparasham or feeling of touch,Agni(fire) thanmatra being colour or form,Varuna (water) thanmatra being taste or rasam and Prithvi (earth) thanmatra being taste or ghandam. (Symbolically we also have also as five fingers.) All these five elements exists independent of each other but for an ordinary mortal seems to be ever in combination. Truly we cannot understand and appreciate the individuality of each one being independent of other. Before the universe was revealed from moolaprakruthi it was in a inconceivable status, that is neither Static Nor Dynamic.Only through the sound akasha was created, through sparsha vayoo and so on.In that status it is known as thanmatra. For a Devi Devotee if the five sense organs are controlled he/she would benefit positively otherwise the person would experience Shopanam and Unmathanam. The Adishtana devata for the pushpa Bhanas or flower arrows is Dandanatha (supreme commander of Devi’s forces) and for the bow made of sugarcane the devatha is Manthrini (Buddhi Shakti). This means that any force has to be used with intelligence. (How relevant is this in the modern Era) This particular nama also secretively inscribes the AYUTHA MANTRA and pl learn this through your Pujya GURU.
