Matsya Jayanti Greetings (14-4-09) - Mystic symbolism

[Guest guest]

Matsya Jayanti festival greetings to our group.The story of the descent of the

Divine Fish recounted in Astama Skandha/Book Eight of the great and glorious

Bhagavata Purana,otherwise known as Paramahamsa Saamhita,composed by Vedavyasa.

 

The VEDAS,with the aid of which Brahma performs his role happened to slip out of

his possession at a moment of his respite and demon Hayagriva instantly devoured

them. Since Pralaya was to follow soon,the Vedas would be lost the next spell

of creation,unless they are retrieved. Lord Vishnu saved Vedas by incarnating

Himself as Matsyavatara - the Divine Fish.

 

MATSYAVATARA - MYSTIC SYMBOLISM:

 

Brahma represents the purified mind that glows with the knowledge that you are

Brahman. Brahma's falling asleep implies coming under the influence of

avidya,ignorance,represented by Hayagriva.And like Divine Fish,that mystical

insight outgrows everything and allows you to outstep all the

concepts,thoughts,and mental barriers that condition our mind. As all

limitations of mind are transcended,the insight blooms into intuition,which in

turn flourishes into the highest awareness of Cosmic Consciousness - the

Advaitin.

 

I request you to listen to Matsyavatara episode from Narayaneeyam.
