EXPLANATION :

 

1 . The will of every kiving being control the mind,senses,life and

body.The will of the universe controls the individual wills.The cosmic

will controls the universe and the Lord works as the background will

of all.Hence,He is the Great Will.

 

2. The individual valour supports the Law and upholds it.Law works as

the universal valour and hence,the Loed woeks as the great valour.The

power of the whole universe is prakriti which  supports and

replenishes the power of the individual when tuned properly. It works

as the three-fold power of qualities by virtue of which all the

universe stands as matter, force and mind on the

suface of the soul in the light of the spirit. Hence, the Lord is the

great power.

 

3. The spirit that lives in us as the brilliant spark of Lord's

presence illumines the three worlds of matter, force and mind. The

light of the spirit is the soul. The spirit of the individual is at

the same time the spirit of the universe and hence, it is the great

cosmic brilliance which enlightens everything and everyone into

existence. Hence, it is the great light.

 

5. The bodies of the individuals stand in the ultimate fitness of

things of the one grand form of the Lord which is beyond all

dimensions.

 

6. Sri is the Goddess of wealth and plenty and she manifests from Him

as the background and works as the splendour of form beauty, name and

quality of the creation. Hence Lord is the Master of the goddess of

wealth.

 

7. The souls of the individuals are the counterparts of the one

group-soul which is the manifestation of the Lord. Hence the form of

the Lord is the one grand soul beyond all measure.

 

8. In the beginning of the creation there were the divine and

diabolical armies of forces who churned the ocean of existence with

the mount vortex which is called Mandara. At the time of

the churning, the Lord assumed the form of a great tortoise and lifted

the mountain up on his back. Also Lord Krishna lifted the mountain

Govardhana on the tip of his little finger and protected the cowherd

souls with their cattle under the bottom of the mountairi for seven

days and nights to protect them from the great Cyclone caused by the

wrath of Indra.
