Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 (62) Pavitram –One who gives purity to the heart. To the seekers who are meditating upon Him, He gives inner purity, and hence He is known as Pavitram. Or, the term Pavi means; the weapon vajra (thunderbolt). One who saves his devotees from the thunderbolt of lndra is Pavitram. The thunderbolt is described as an instrument ill cross bones-made out of the bone of sage Dadheechi. Indra is the Lord of the lndriyas. In Vedanta Indra signifies the mind. Mind's cross purposes, confusions, intellectual compromises and the consequent self- cancellation of our mental powers (Sankalpa-Vikalpa) can be the great thunderbolt of the mind with which Indra (mind) can destroy in no time all the acquired tapas of the saadhaka. Deep devotion, ardent meditation and firm faith in the Lord Vishnu save the saadhaka from all such mental storms and, therefore, the Lord acquires the significant name Pavitram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
