Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Dear Bhaskar ji I think you are right regarding the defined animals/vahanas for chakras.I also agree with your views(nature /behaviour /cobra etc). What i was mentioning, were the latent/subtle meanings associated with Gods and vehicles(Icons).The person(Tantra shastra) just mentioned,peackock with blossomed feather/wings, as Vahana of Subrahmanya,symbolises Sahasrara chakra. He gave clues for Mooladhara & Ganapati as well.The rest were my thoughts.I will expand my thoughts. Ketu is shikhi- Peacock is Shikhi.Peacock can conquer Snakes.Subrahmanya is Shanmukha(6 chakras) and is having the Vel representing shakthi.Vahana or vehicle takes us to some destination.Time is serpent and using Peacock as vehicle he is representing the path of Agni(Sushumna).His association with Mars is well known(Kumara/Young etc).Similarly Kujavat ketu.I feel Rahu and Ketu are the ones which cannot be percieved using our normal apparatus.Thier effects can be felt. So is TIME.Some say there is a fourth dimension called time.I would disagree with this.The three dimensions that we see are for space.Time is not an extra dimension of space - it is a parallel.Time/Space go together.Mars is infact bordering/gaurding the path of Kundalini - Aries/Scorpio.Peacock blossomed is identical to a thousand petalled Sahasrara and colourful. If i have erred ,pls correct me. Please read the next 2-3 mails as well.

kushalappa Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Dear Bhaskar ji, Chandrashekar ji, Bharat ji and Ramapriya ji, i would like to add that Iggutappa is Lord Subramani (Karthik/Muruga ) incarnate. The eagle is an enemy of serpents and not the peacock. Kukke Subramanya near Mangalore is an important temple for Naga Dosha. Igguthappa is Lord of serpents as well as of rains, harvest, rice and prosperity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kushalappa Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Namaste to one and all, I do agree in the association of Mars with Iggutappa/Subramani in Tantra as in remember (albeit vaguely ) having read about this elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
