Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Jaya Jagannatha You are right, in Brihat Samhita, it states alligator, hence I extended it to crocodile. But this should be a monitor lizard. Makes a lot of sense. Nimittas taught by grandmother Thank you for this.

It is mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 3, Chapter 10, Text 24 as an animal with 5 nails on each claw (panca-nakhas). That sounds like a lizard to me! , "Swee Chan" <swee@c...> wrote: > Jaya Jagannatha > > Dear Members, > > Namaste > > The following is what I have found from Prsna Marga Part 1 pg 105 > Slokas: 153-154 > > If you hear anybody uttering the names of hogs, serpents, ahre, godha > (can someone give the meaning of this word?) etc., IT IS GOOD. > To see or hear the cries of the monkey and the bear is good, > > BUT to hear their names uttered is bad. > > To see or hear the cries of an elephant, horse or an ox is also good. > > BV Raman also quoted from Varahamihira's Brihat Samhita in his notes in > Prsna Marga. > Hope this will be helpful to all for some nimittas in prsna reading. > > Best wishes, > > Swee > SJC, Zambia [Om Kleem Krishnaaya Jagannathaaya namah] Send a blank mail To : - To : Your use of is subject to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
