Namaste.

Many people worship God in different forms and names like Krishna,

Rama, Durga, Shiva etc. But most of them may not know that what our

great Rishis of ancient times wanted to tell the common people ,the

real meaning or idea behind this Idols.

Let us take the Idol of Lord Krishna first.

krishna has a flute in his hand which has six holes and these

holes represent the six chakras in our body. The other side there is

another hole which represents the sahasrara. This flute can be played

only by blowing air in to it. This again represents the antarmukha

pranayama that we all should do. When a person starts doing pranayama

he shall see a beautiful eye [or light] which is also known as

Kootastha. Krishna has a peacock feather on his head. The middle of

this feather is like an eye and that represents the kootastha.

Krishna stands in a different style and he is called tribhanga Murari.

His statue has three bends These three bends represent the jihva

grandhi, hridaya grandhi and mooladhara grandhi. In other words they are

Brahma grandhi, Vishnu grandhi and Rudra grandhi

Krishna's right leg is slightly bend and it seems he is balancing his

body keeping weight on his left leg. This Represents the omkara

kriya.Though the Lord is nirakara he is also known as trigunatmaka.

This is the real meaning of tribhanga Murari Krishna's idol A complete

yoga tatwa is explained through the Idol of Sri Krishna in this

way.If anybody wants to worship him, this is the right method and he

is called the real krishna bhaktha [taken from the book-----Purana

purusha yogiraj Sri Shyama charan lahiri]

Next mail we will learn about Durga
