Fragrance & Vasanas - By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Our Swamiji and our Namadwaar Satsang team wishing all our E-Satsang members 

 

                          " A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2010 "  

-

Though it is a fact that you are liberated even if you chant the Mahamantra

once, chant continuously if you desire a sorrow-free journey through life and if

you wish to see God face-to-face within this lifetime.

                                         Fragrance & Vasanas

 

In Indian tradition, during marriages, the bride and the bride-groom exchange

flower garlands. Sri Swamiji beautifully explained the significance behind this!

Flowers have Vasana (tamil word for 'fragrance'). Vasana, in Sanskrit, also

means latent tendencies of a person. These flowers not only carry their Vasanas,

but also have the capability to carry the Vasanas (latent tendencies) of those

who wear them. When the bride and the bridegroom exchange their garlands, their

tendencies are exchanged too! This way, each would act in a manner that pleases

their spouse. There is more unison in thoughts, harmony and this would make them

an intimate couple!

 

It is for such a reason that the flower-garlands which we receive as Prasad from

Mahaans or deities must be accepted and used with great reverence and devotion

for they carry the divine vibrations of the Mahan/deity!
