Question about Shanka and Chakra

[Guest guest]

Shashtaanga Namaskarams to all the bhagavathas:

 

Ive always taken this fact for granted that the Lord always adorns the

Shanka and Chakra. The Vedas and the Divya Prabhandams purport this.

 

However do these texts say WHY God likes these especially the

Shanka/Shangu(the Conch). The Chakra, as I can guess, is a powerful weapon

that he uses to destroy evil.

 

In Krishnaavatara He uses His conch(Panchajanya) during the war. But has

there been any other specific reason as to why He has liked it to always

deck himself with it??

Dear Srikant Sadagopan,

 

Adiyen once asked the same question to Sri Rangapriya swamigal and

Swamigal reply was that All the weapons and all other ornaments etc.,

of are different 'Tatwa' (realities).Here is the list.

 

1.Shankam = Pranavam/Vedam

2.Chakram = Kala tatvam (Time) (Definitely Kala is the greatest

weapon for ignorant Jivas as it devores every such ignorant people)

3.Khadgam = Jnana (Knowledge)

4.Srivatsa = Jiva tatvam

etc etc.,

 

Kindly correct me if I am Wrong.

Adiyen Akinchanan

Suresh
