Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Namaste Karen, I am referring to the introduction in the Chandi and this is what Swamiji has said about the weapons. "The qualities and characteristics of spiritual discipline symbolized in these words that is relevant" and "These words will take significance in the individual meditations of the seeker, and their definitions WILL CHANGE with growth, development and progress along the path ". My take is that the symbolism in the book is what Swamiji himself has experienced in his path. It could be the same or different for us. I would be interested to know what others think on this subject. Great question. I am going to create a table in the Database section of the home page and we can compare the symbolism along the different chapters that we encounter. Anyone can add to this table - it is fairly simple to go and edit/add records JAI MAA !
