varsana Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 haribol, I just recently got the book pada sevanam ( book of lotus feet and hands) And I noticed that lord balarama's lotus feet and hands were not in the book! On the other hand lord nityananda's feet and hand were in the book! For me it is still a bit unclear are nityananda's lotus feet & hands the same as balarama's???? ys varsana dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bija Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Dear Varsana, I do not know the answer to your question. Give me a few days and I will be in contact with someone who will know, and I will post my findings here. It is interesting to note , that Lord Gauranga's auspicious markings are the combined amount of Radha and Krsna, taking into consideration the marks that Radha and Krsna share. There are 6 marks common on the Lotus Feet of Lord Krsna and Srimati Radha. **Lotus Feet** Radha + Krsna = Gauranga 19 + 19 - 6= 32 There are 24 marks common on the Lotus Hands of Lord Krsna and Srimati Radha. **Lotus Hands** Radha + Krsna = Gauranga 35 + 33 - 24= 44 At a guess I would say that Nityananda/Balarama have the same markings. But as I say I am only presuming, I will get back to you with the correct answer soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bija Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I received an answer from my spiritual master via his forum this evening. His response was, "Yes, absolutely the same markings are there on Lord Nityananda and Lord Balarama's Lotus Hands and Feet as They are one and the same person. It is also applicable to Lord Advaita Acarya and Karanodakashayi Lord MahaVisnu." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
