valour; the one who has a bow and is resourceful; who has a peculiar succession

of things and who crosses over things. He is the highest who cannot be

frightened. He is the faithful one, the accomplished and the spirited one.

 

 Explanation :

 

1. The inner Lord, the Lord of the atom, individual and the universe. The word

Iswara means the light which pervades and influences the individual unit,

especially in an administrative sense. The Vedas explain that whatever exists in

this world is lived and ruled by Iswara. The Bhagavadgita says that He lives in

the hearts of every being and makes the being work and evolve around himself

Patanjaii says that the Lord is the light If the Soul for whom we conduct the

practice of yoga. Meditating upon Him will lead us to yoga state.

 

2. Vikrami means the one who overtakes other by valour. In the lower plane, He

is approached as competition and a :ompetitive spirit. On the administrative

plane, He works as he sense of defence and consciousnesS! On the highest plane,

He manifests as the unconquerable steadiness of the soul-light which can defeat

every shortcoming.

 

3. Dhanvi. He possesses a bow. This is a sign of protection .nd war like nature.

He is the valiant defence of those who are unjustly attacked. On the lower

plane, He is understood as the use of a weapon. On the higher planes, He is the

point of the aPplication of consciousness, who is located at a point between he

eyebrows. He is located as the attempt to utter OM. It is aid that the utterance

of OM is the bow, the five senses are the arrows that should be aimed at inwards

to hit the object of the individual consciousness which we call ego and we

attain liberation thereby.

 

4. Medhavi. Resourcefulness is the invisible ocean upon he surface of which

rises the wave of our application or approach to do things. He lives as

invisible presence in us and makes his appearance in us and makes his appearance

as our own approach when the situation comes.

 

5. Vikramah. Situations in life will be transformed from the nature of obstacles

to the nature of steps to achieve by following a peculiar succession of events.

The arrangement of events into right succession causes success. This arrangement

by the intuitive approach is the presence of the Lord Himsel£

 

6. Kramah. The Lord should be traced as the creative intelligence which makes us

cross over incidents to remove the nature of obstacles from them.

 

7. Anuttamah. Our constitUtion is an arrangement of everything as better than

its lower. The betterness leads to the betterment of the lower into the higher.

Thus the Lord's presence exists in us always as something higher and leads us to

the highest state, which is Himsel£

 

8. Duradharsah. The vulnerability to get frightened at something exists as part

of the lower nature in us; it exists as the result of objectivity of the

cognisance of the non-self Fear is an expression of the unknown. The Lord. as

pervasion expands as the awareness of His subjective presence and removes fear

by this meditation. Thus the Lord Himself stands in us as the one who cannot be

frightened.

 

9. Krtajnah. Faithfulness is the quality of remembering the good deeds of

others. It is the intelligence which traces goodness and which reciprocates

goodness. It is the Lord's presence in us as goodness.

 

10. Kritih. The above trait and its meditation leads one to the realisation of

accomplishing everything and live accomplished in Him as the accomplishment.

          11. Atmavan. The presence of the divine spirit in us makes us

the spirited ones and this spirit expresses in its Own way on every plane until

we realise it.
