significance of lord images like standing sitting or reclining in temples

[Guest guest]

Namaste:

 

I request knowledgeable members to clear the question posed by

Sri Sudhir. Any attempt to clear other's doubts will certainly

clear our doubts and please help Sri Sudhir without hesitation.

 

I also request Sudhirji to post his questions directly to the

list by sending an email to advaitin.

 

The symbolism and significance of the images of Hindu Gods are

described in many books. The list had discussions on the

significance of Lord Nataraja (Dancing Shiva), the Anantha

Sayanam of Mahavishnu and Ayyappa. They are available in the

archives and I strongly recommend Sri Sudhir to review.

 

regards,

 

Ram Chandan
