Explanation :

 

1.Lord Krishna killed the demon who came in the form of abull, that was waiting

among the

cattle of Gokul to kill Lord Krishna.In the Vedic sense,the word Vrishahi means

the mystic being that evolves from the stage of the serpent to that of the

bull.It marks the role of the two signs Scorpio and Taurus in the process of

evolution.Taurus represents the fertilizing masculine energy of nature and

Scorpio marks its entanglement in the consciousness of sex differentiation and

sex attraction.This is called the descent of energy into the form-nature of

force .This marks the path of the zodiacal signs from Taurus to Scorpio to

Scorpio via Gemini,Cancer etc

 

The second

half is the path of ascent which marls the stage of the energies transcending

into the stage of pure consciousness through the stage of liberation from form-

nature to the stage of pure consciousness.This marks the process of

transcensing sex and reaching the stage of pure creation.Once again, the bull

or Taurus marks the stage of fertilization in its highest sense.This path of

ascent is marked between Taurus and Scorpia via Aries,Pisces etc.The first path

is called the palanetary path whereas the second path is the path of

equinoxes.This

second path is rightly termed as reversing the wheel by Master Djwalkhul in his

Esoteric Astrology.

 

2. The bull in the Vedas represents the sound principle

working as the fertilizing agent of the universe.On the lower levels, it is the

seminal tissue.On the astral plane, it is the sound principle which makes the

difference between noise and voice.The trill produced through the vocal chords

by the consciousness is rightly described as a transformation manifestation of

consciousness. It is described as

transformed manifestation of conciousness. It is described as Rig –Vedha and

in

some places, it is also called Rishabha,the great bull.It is represented by

sacred syllable R,not in the plane of the alphaber bit ad it is, produced by

the vocal chords. This sound fertilizes the rest of the consciousness ehoch

inclides the mind and the sense to produce the child which we call the grand

liberation. This aspectis pictorially represented as the great bull Nandi

facing the Lord Siva who sits in the form of Lingam

 

3.Vishnu, the Lord of pervasion is described in the Vedas as

the freat globe of space who awakens as Agni, the point of ignition of

consciousness which exists as the geometrical centre of the globe.The Lord is

said to be a twin Lord with Agni.He is said to manifest as the potency of

number 1, the I AM of existence who

makes the potency number 9 which is described as the fortress of the magician

Sambara [the material aspect of the universe].

 

4.Parva means a nodal point in time.The cycle of the year

has its nodal points as the equinoxes,the cups of the zodiacal signs and the

lunation etc.Each of these nodes produce changes in seasons which make up the

fauna and flora of the earth by producing the various splendours of the

seasonal energies that are released in acyclic order to work through the ethers

of space and the rays of the sun and the planets.

 

5. The domewhich is the globe of space is ever being

fertilized by the creative force and is ever expanding in its process of

evolution into the various galaxies etc.In this stage,it is compared with the

belly of the great bull.

 

6. The Lord exists in space as the capacity to grow things

and beings in space.

 

7.He is also the contents of the space which grows through

the various steps of evolution.

 

8. Though he is omnipresent in every bit of space and the

universe,he stands untouched by anything by his uniqueness.

 

9. The word sruti means the sound principle.Sound is a

vibration in the sound principle that exists in space.It makes its appearance

as the voice of the utterer which awakens the voice of the listener.Both put

together,form a circuit is called Veda or the Wisdom . The Lord is the only one

who knows veda completely
