MYP logo has been designed based on the concept of pIthapUjA explained in tantrasAra.

 

Though the logo looks simple with ornamental flowery design, it has the minute details in terms of meanings and colours.

In the next following slides we have given the mUla shlOka from tantrasAra and the designed logo with the details.

>>>mUla shlOka from tantrasAra

TantrasAra is written by Sri Hari Himself.

The shloka below is from SarvamUla tantrasAra saMgraha written by Srimad Anandatheertha bhaghavatpAda.

Now begins the pITha pujA. Sri Madhwacharya has described the pITha & AvaraNapUjA in his work TantrasAra sangraha. The description beginning with pUjasya bhagavAnnittyaM given by Him is short but full of meaning.

After finishing the pIThapujA one should invoke the Lord Sri Hari.

(may not be exact word to word English translation of the above verses but a gist)

 

Meditate on the paradevata (Lord Vishnu) at the center of the pITha. On the left side of the piTha, meditate on vAyu who is the lokaguru. On the right side Brahma, siva & all devatas. On the left side again, meditate on Sanaka, Sanandana rishi who are our guru. At the four corners of the base of piTha, invoke garuda (south east- Agneya), vEdavyAsa (south west- nairutya), Durga (North west-vAyuvya) & Saraswathi (northeast- iishAnya).

 

In the four corners of the upper portion of the piTha, invoke dharmaadhipathi Yama (south east), jnAnadhipati vAyu (southwest), vairaghyadhipati Rudra (Northwest), AishvaryAdhipati Indra (northeast).

 

Again, in the upper portion invoke adharmAdhipathi Nirti (east), AjnAnadhipati Durga (south), AvairAgyAdhipati Rudra (west), anaishvaryAdhipati (Kama), north.

 

At the base of the brahmanda is the paramapurusha NArayana who holds the brahmanda on His head. Above Him is the adharasakti lakshmi. Above Her is VishnukUrma. Above Vishnukurma is vAyukurma. On top of the tail of vAyukUrma rests Adishesha.

 

On the hood of Adisesha is prakrtyabhimAni varuna. In this sAgara is svetadvipa which is a form of Lakshmi. In this dvIpa is a ratnamantapa which is a form of Lakshmi. In this mantapa, meditate on the piTha.

 

In this piTha, there is the six petalled lotus which is the form of Lakshmi. In this lotus, invoke Surya as light form in the front petal to the right of the Lord & Chandra in the front petal to the left of the Lord.

 

In the central petal at the front, invoke agnimandala. At the back of the Lord, invoke sattvaabhimani Sridevi in the left petal, rajobhimani bhudevi in the right petal, & tamobhimani durga in the central petal.

 

At the four corners of the lotus, invoke Atma, antaratma, paramatma, jnAnatma in clockwise direction. Above this lotus is a eight petalled lotus which is a form of Lakshmi. In this lotus, starting from east, invoke chatra, chAmara, vyajana, darpana, gAna, nrtya, vAdya, stothra as performed by vimalA, utkarsini, jnAna, kriyA, yoga, prthvi, satya, Ishana (eight shakti) in the eight directions.

 

In the middle of the lotus, invoke anugrahasakthi who is the asana of Lord Vishnu. Above this sakthi is Lord Sesha who is the yogapiTha of Lord Vishnu.

 

Following this concept in mind, perform pITha puja.
