Guest guest Posted February 5, 1996 Report Share Posted February 5, 1996 Dear Prapatti Group Members: Did you know that there are eight different kinds of flowers that please our Lord Vishnu the most. I learned this from Vatsya Varadhacharya's treatise on Prapannamrutham. I have long been trying hard to acquire these flowers and offer it to Lord Vishnu but haven't quite succeeded. I do not know which Nursery will have these flowers. They say that it requires a special soil and a temperate climate to grow these flowers. May be you can help me. The flowers are: Ahimsa Prathamam Pushpam (Non-violence) Pushpam Indriya Nigraha (Sense-control) Sarvabhuta Daya Pushpam (Compassion to fellow beings) Kshama Pushpam Visheshathaha (Patience) Jnanam Pushpam (Right knowledge) Tapaf Pushpam (Penance) Shanthi Pushpam Thathaiva cha (Inner peace) Satyam Ashtavidham Pushpoho (Truth) Vishnoho Preetikaram Bhavet My intuitive feeling tells me that I have already located the Nursery (Prapatti group) and that the special soil is the sat-sangh it affords. May my heart provide the right kind of climate for the plant to grow and bring forth the flowers that pleases our Lord the most.
