themoon-spot. Meditate him as the Lord of gods,the healing agent made out of the

plantlife and as the shore of all the worlds.He overcomes and surpasses

everything and everyone by truthfulness and the law of existence

 

EXPLANTION :

 

1.The rays of the moon are made up of the reflection of the sap of eternity.The

moon is the germinating and fertilizing agent as well as the mother force that

gives the growth in the embryonic stages of every living being.It is the moon

ray that synthesizes the inorganic into the organic kingdom.Hence the birth of

the omni-presence of the Lord into the form of any living being is due to the

lunar principle

 

2. The sun is the very giver of life.The in-filling centre of soul-life and the

latent spirit consciousness of everyone and everything is the solar

principle.Hence the sun and the moon are the products of the solar and lunar

principle which protect the whole creation as the two eyes of the Lord

 

3. Devas are of many groups ,mainly three : Adityas , [The Lords of radiation] .

Rudras [The lords of vibration] and Vasus [The Lords of materialization] . They

are of two types ; pitrus who preside over the basic propertiesof grand cycle of

the creation  of the pulsation of the many galaxies of solar systems in a unit

space, called the egg.

 

4. Each group of devas has its own Lord who is a manifestation of the Lord

Vishnu Himself

 

5. The poetic thought of the scripture of the scriptures considers the totally

of the creation as the created land with all its beings floating 0n  the ocean

of the Lord beyond creation.Hence the Lord is to be meditated as the shore of

every aspect of creation.

 

6. Through the god-men on this earth , the Lord manifests as the virtues that

measure everything with truth as the law of existence.With this as their

policy,they overcomeand surpass everything and every one from the defective

steps unto perfection.
