[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] lotus and stem

[Guest guest]

Dear KVG - Shree Guruvayurappa Sharanam!

 

Thank you for your mail. But I would like to state that I am not

Rajeev but only Krishnadasa. Rajeevji is a different person and I

highly appreciate him for his service.

 

I am not as scholarly as Rajeevji and would like to thank you and

all the devotees of the Lord.

 

~Krishnadasa (but not Rajeev) :-)

Dear Rajeev and other friends,

Radhe Krishna!

 

Our friend and Krishnadasa Rajeev's sweet explanation is very much

appealing to the heart. Bhaktas will , no doubt, like it. And

I too. But here are two lotuses in reference. One is

the " Nabhee-kamalam " of the Lord, which emanates from His Nabhee-

randhram (aperture at the navel), has a very very long stalk and

supports the whole Universe. Brahma in the form of Hiranya-garbha

is imagined to be seated on this lotus. It is the same lotus

which Brahma divided and made into 14 worlds. The region Brahma

is seated, represents Satya-loka.

 

The other lotus which is one of the four ensigns of the Lord which

He bears in the lower right hand represents one of the subtle

essence of one of the elements of creation, the " Antah-karanam " or

the " Inner Conscience " in the Cosmic terminology.

 

Regards

KVG.
