origin of idols, and idol worship

one example, peace

peace is a potential quality , a law of nature, of the unmanifest absolute, which is the reservoir of all gunas, ie all the laws of nature cognizable by a rishi in the deepest samadhi

so he says shanthi

and he repeats shanthi shanthi shanthihi, to emphasize the profundity

and he may say shaanthaakaram , an embodiment of peace, though there is not any body as such

this is the origin of idol conception.

now to communicate this abstract law of nature, he chooses a concrete . visible media

he chooses his own body , human body as the media / icon

he depicts a word picture of a person with a face, eyes half closed , expressing the calm , restful, posture, shayanam,

this is how the law of nature, takes the visible identity

now this hint is taken by an artist, and he creates a beautiful picture / colorful painting / graceful sculpture / a small or big murthi , idol

this is how the idol gets created

seeing its value, charm, utility, truth, beauty goodness one starts adoring it , calls a form of god, a devatha murthi ,

this is how a devatha murthi comes into existence

and one would like to decorate it, offer food to it , like to bathe it , makes a shade over it , gives vasthra aabharana, mala, sindhoora ,

thus the origin of temples and idolatry starts

and now the common man forgets that it is a law of nature

blind worship continues

and truth of idol is totally covered up and lost to vision, man misses the track , ignorance abounds , rebounds,

that is how idol becomes a obstruction to see the truth, though all happening with the best of intentions,

this continues till the man wakes up , by the call of a realized soul

   Precious circle..

1 from existing level ,---- with all faults, defects, flaws, -----starting performance, 

undergoing evaluation, taking feedback, recycling, revision, updating, 

refinement, perfection 

2 and then again performance, from this improved level, evaluation, feedback ,,,,,,,,,,, 

circle , unending, 

but continuously improving by iterations and reiterations, 

nonstop, it's the dynamics of creativity, the growth, the evolution .

so feel free to see and point out flaws, do not stop at just seeing and admiring the superficial superfluous frills

and 

do not be ---afraid, averse, hateful, disliking, unapproving ,if someone points out faults. 

take the criticism, examine how it helps to improve your performance

be thankful to the critics and connoisseurs, all are helping in their own ways , whether to your expectation or to your shock

    Previously cats were playing in st 

with maximum fun joyfully, 

free, friendly, smiling,
jumping, bumping 

now the cats are caught, 
tied tightly, not knowing for what

with ropes of ranks , 
with hopes on badges 

predominantly trying to display
which is big which is small, 

which is beautiful which is horrible, 
which is rich which is poor

they are all forced to fight and run, 
non stop circling round and round ,

trying to catch a few bones in haste 
with or without meat or taste

 

Divine blogging should not become a rat race or cat walk for popularity 

when supreme has allowed existence of all the creatures,

irrespective of merits demerits, 

why to delete a young seeker on suspicion of irregularities 

and bringing down his reputation, creating a hurt

instead , 

tell him what were the irregularities openly and ask his reply, 

then take a decision 
.
after all the allegations cannot be always true 

i pity that seeker who got good rating, but dumped because of it , just because some one complained

Previously cats thronged to satsang charmed by the spirituality, 

truth, originality, virginity, 

clarity, maturity
pristine purity, beauty, 

now there is no charm, no inspiration, 
no enlightenment , no enchantment 

only enforcement 
of entertainment, 

so they are being lured with '' gift rats ''
for their rants, chants, 

laments, comments,
tormenting torrents

no more a inquisitive spirit
being intent only on head counts

   Propelled by his pure original fancy , it may be willy-nilly ,or even silly

some one scribbles a few zig-zag lines on a piece of paper

and does a few random strokes on it with his worn out schooldays brush, and long expired color paints, and looking at it enjoys for a moment ,

and then simply throws away that '' waste '' paper and walks out for a nice cup of tea

that paper flies afar in the wind and accidentally lands in the hands of a wandering art critic, he , looking at it , stops in flabbergast .he sees and sees again and for minutes and hours, preserves it, frames it , shows to others, carries to an art exhibition,

and lo !it is appraised, praised, prized, and valued as a master piece it becomes the talk of the town, all wondering who can be that genius master artist

the talk reaches the man who made it ,

curious, with great expectation, the man wants to see that great painting , goes to that exhibition and stands in the queue with all the patience, and finally gets a glimpse of it it is his own ''waste paper''

 he shouts 'Bakwaas., bakwaas, bakwaas ..

 

all the art connoisseurs there promptly, and courteously, and sympathetically guide him out of the hall , and advised him to go home and take rest."

      patang or kati patang , life one can make ,

credits /debits are surely to one's account 

one is to learn to discover that remote is in own hands.l  earn to be at home do not go out of your self's contact

even in the best / worst of adventures in the journey of life

one's pure self, one's home is the safest place to be playing 

and enjoying with the near and dear, 

with the most intimate devi devathas, 

in the own garden, nandan van, to be playing 

and flying and the sending out the imaginative mind , the kite, 

far and high in the sky , the expansive universe.

yet not breaking the thread, 

manipulating the thread and winding back to reach hands back home safely . 

life's game is blissful enjoyment as long as patang is steady and up and up, 

but once thread is broken you make it the kati patang, 

yes face all the risk of winds gales 

casting it hither thither by situations and circumstances 

finally making it entangled with the tree of sansaar, 

breaking it, ruining it, finally destroying it uncognizably, 

casting it down and burying it under the earth , 

to summarize as a lesson as a  fool's play, 

do not call it a divine play. 

divine never wants to play you down

promiscuity

There is lot in this word promiscuity,
it is unchaste

what is chaste? , what unchaste"

chastity is purity, anything less pure, is unchaste

brahman is the ultimate purity, remaining untouched , undeviating,

sole purpose to remain pure , to maintain purity ever

as long as we be no brahman, we are shudra, we are sinners
so we are born twice dvija , by being in association with brahman,

in the upanayana initiation

pathi vratha is chaste
rather to be chaste is pathi vratha 

who is pathi what vratha
pathi is brahman
vratha is to be cultivating to raise to eternal vigilance ,

awareness without a wink of sleep without slipping falling or sinking

pativratha dharma is not meant alone for sthree
it is a goal even for purush 

what is falling from being pathi vratha?

it is getting sullied polluted physically and mentally by that which is not right
that is how  purity is lost
by coming in contact with others mentally or physically

physical contact, shake hand, hug, kiss, brush , press, intercourse with all and sundry cause pollution, infection, dirt, disease, death

mental contacts, --debate discussion argument transaction , are pollution , also thinking on these transactions later , is major pollutions generating anger frustration, jealousy, hatred, sensual desire, fear, anxiety, stress, psycho diseases, abnormality and instability, ending up in mental disorder

the essence is ---spending our attention on anything than ourselves , that is brahman , is promiscuity, is sin, a loss, 

hence be with yourself physically, mentally, being in your own depths, playing with yourself , none other than yourself that is real chastity, real pathi vratha dharma.
 more you go to outsiders , the more you are in promiscuity, physically, mentally.

live self sufficient , with own inner resources, they are infinite ,

the purest is brahman
the true source,  course,  recourse and goal all in one

   Planning in life is a nice alert on controlled focusing on priorities in the face of infinite distracting and frittering away the most precious wealth time, time is gold

also the highest priority is to strive for attaining a sufficient degree of self realization earliest in life, at least from now on

once this highest priority is attended without compromise, and the result is accomplished , life becomes free flow, without need of any planning, activities getting accomplished spontaneously, by actions happening at the right time , as if in according to the bigger plan of the total universe

  perfection   What did anna hazare see in corrupt political leaders ? he saw perfection or imperfection ?if he saw imperfection, then is it due to his imperfectness? or due to his perfection ?if anna was corrupt, then he would have seen corruption as bad ?

in the class room , the teacher sees the mistakes of students and corrects their mistakes is it because teacher is imperfect if teacher is perfect, then will he ignore the imperfection of students, so this statement '' Imperfection sees imperfection only!'' is it perfect or imperfect if i say it is imperfect, can you conclude i that am imperfect,,,,,,,,,,,,, perfection sees the imperfection , and triggers action to reach perfection

"But imperfection saw ok , perfection, in the imperfection in the building that collapsed so imperfection cannot see imperfection, since it cannot see perfectly it is perfection that sees perfectly and finds out defects , imperfections so perfection sees imperfection

"So blinded perfection ie imperfection saw the building as perfection"

"Meaning: God is perfect (infinite). This Universe is also perfect (infinite). If perfection (infinity) is taken from anything perfect (infinite) what remains is still perfect (infinite). Let there be peace, peace, peace."

"Unmanfest spirit is the system , the ocean, the reservoir of water----adorable-----but beyond the reach to do worship, enlightened alone can grasp  manifest entities are the visible components of system----parts of the system----adorable too------within the reach hence unenlightened worship these, in the process a day will come in the life of unenlightened to find the meaning of the meaningless and propel him to find the truth finally"The wholeness is =system +components of system =unmanifest+manifest" Unmanifest infinite wholeness collapses into ----the huge whole tree hiding itself in the tiny seed back again the manifest finite , a part of wholeness, the limited individuality takes birth------the tiny limited se

    

poetry or just wordy tapestry let it be a mystery

it's vasanth's mimicry

just to pose as a valmiki as if a great rishi,

and maha tapasvi

 

perfection cannot be defined, it is an abstraction, it is not a thing or ,material, or product, or being or process which can be felt by senses 

however one can know what perfection is by contacting and being the perfection, himself , in his core , in his essence , 

but 

perfect things can be defined since we can see / feel them 

,,,,,,,,also

we can get a understanding of perfection by its characteristics such as 

purity

originality

orderliness

symmetry, 

finish

texture

and other infinite characteristics

In a perceivable object you can see /feel the perfection 

excellently tuned musical instrument like sitar/tabla etc

nice song

good dance

delicious dish, 

artistically designed dress

delightful perfume 

warm cloths etc

these or such other thing will have a level of perfection

2 how many perfection could be there in one being? 

indivdual is a composite/compacted layers of different degrees of perfection

like onion peals one within the next and so on 

broadly

body is the gross form of perfection---visible

mind is the subtle form of perfection-----invisible, yet we know it exists 

consciousness , the essence, is the ultimate form of perfection-----invisible, beyond the feel, it's existence .

2a within each of above again sub gradation/ sub layers exist 

for eg 

body --bone is grosser, skin is subtler, bone[teeth] cannot feel the smoothness or warmth as the skin

also palm is more sensitive than the reverse side of palm

thru skin one cannot cannot see

thru eye one can see

so eye is more perfect than skin or bone 

similarly 

inside the mind gross and subtle layers exist of different levels of perfection

3 how to achieve it [perfection] ?

this is the eternal FAQ

there are different ways 

but some ways are smarter wiser, intelligent , quicker, surer, 

masters have been all along guiding thru ages, 

simplest , direct path to perfection is to experience the state of perfection in the experience of samadhi , it is the most easiest, nearest, intimately accessible 

every creator along the corridors of times has been experiencing it, and as a result brought out the products with most charming beauty, order, truth, 

any artist or professional who wants to create perfect products/creations must experience this state, which enables him to create perfect output with great ease without effort

views depend on how one sees/defines  hinduism

in my view hinduism is a no label , 

it is the nearest cognition of the actual system governing the universe, 

and so 

is the most scientific precise in its approach, 

appropriately tolerant and accepting truths cognized by all other religions or individuals

and appropriately not tolerant and rejecting misperceptions of all other religions or individuals

Deep

 Path of life  how

what who how when why where what for how much--- x y z do , did --------matters nothing, 

unless you yourself take the action with alacrity 

1 to find the right path

2 start walking on that path earnestly , nonstop

this is my alert to all souls, who ever are stuck up with such puzzles 

time is precious, time is scarce

   Patience is the Essence of Spirituality''

------not true

truth is ---patience is not to be cultivated for attaining spiritual realization

it is in fact ,it is the spiritual realization

that makes all the virtues to sprout in their right proportion in living

as per the need of situation ,

including patience,

forbearance, resilience,

freely, unimposed, unconflicting,effortless spontaneous

all surely leading to all good to one and all

2 Patience is not to be cultivated for attaining spiritual realization

it is impatience that leads to finding ways and means to overcome all the cause of impatiens  or disturbances in the right living

gautham became--- impatient ----on the ways of one becoming the victim

of disease, old age and death

it is the impatience that made him to get up in one instant

and walk out and walk away from the existing situation,

however grand it might have been, and find the truth of life

he did find

had budha been patient like any other guy,

he would have lead a life in ignorance, and would have died  an inglorious lif in oblivion

3 Life demands to be living all the infinite qualities of god, as per need,

not to be wondering / blundering / hesitating wasting time in not knowing on which qualities in what degree in what circumstances are to be brought to be displayed at every second at each changing events continuously

4God realization alone-is ---- and ----this is---- the first step----- in spirituality---not the final step-----

and with this first step , starts the true journey of life experiencing greater and greater, growing manifestation of the glories of spirit , atma

eventually final and ultimate fusion of life in spiritually irrevocably

i repeat

God realization alone ---- and ----this is---- the first step----- in spirituality---not the final step-----

and with this first step , starts the true journey of life experiencing greater and greater, growing manifestation of the glories of spirit , atma

eventually final is the ultimate fusion of life in spirituality irrevocably

Most welcome, i like differing views as many as possible,

since life has infinite dimensions,

must be viewed from innumerable angles

to get closer, precise, comprehensive, true and total grasp, which none can provide singly

i cannot see my face unless i face a mirror

each one is a mirror in which other can see and find nearest total view

but the one's inside view no external mirror can provide,

except the internal mirror the pure consciousness,

All have limitations and strengths

we need to move from strength to strength to supreme strength, to be the commander of universe

limitations vanish in the process, without any attention to them

if we go from limitation, the route will lead to further limitations and  to the stagnation and death

It's a skill to be learned from experts ---note----not reinvent wheel-----

to survive and grow and succeed triumphantly, rapidly, Invinciblly

using all the inevitable limitations of own, and environ---- in as is where is ----as one's manure and nourishment for self growth , primarily , then be a inspiration to the real aspirants ---

--without wasting time on trying to transform the environ's limitations , which are bound to be innumerable-----and so impossible in one's 100 y minus life

one's growth welfare is one's concern whether ne likes to grow or remain bogged down

if not

at;east a wise one will not get entangled with such unwilling unfortunate obstinate individuals and get bogged down himself , in showing extra attention than deserving or needed

 maharishi says

'' i see the dawn of the age of enlightenment thru the window of science''

i surmise, we are fast moving towards the day break.

now i see countless aspirants, genuinely in search of god, in search of a way, in search of a guide, in search of books, in search of themself, and their roots

now i see masters rich with wealth to share, even guru is approachable on line

now i see individuals and organisations to help in this process

now i see the e-communication aids ,accomplishing tasks instantly

now i see the society eagerly waiting the transformation to take place, vexed with negativity

now i see surely all these factors , helping each other, out of necessity

so now i conclude that we are in for a kruth to step in soon

A genuine spiritual experience is the absolute necessity to bring about the transformation in the individual life, that experience , even once, for a fraction of second is enough to illumine the inner life, dispelling the mountainous darkness instantly

and the easiest, shortest , fastest, most effective way is meditation

aspirants should not be wasting their precious time, the prime of life, in only searching eternally.

they must look for a suitable guide and start the practice.

Love --an experience

Btunda

Body, mind, nervous system became very very refined as  we went thru  a lot of processes, guruji gave us such a wonderful teaching and instructions , which made us  so fine that we the participants totally forgot our physical identities separating us from one anotherthis is in an advanced residential ssy/amc course

 ---so fine that we all  were enjoying as if just belonging to one single loving  family,

Brunda, a volunteer, a young mother, fed me with her hands, I felt as a child as if to eat from her hands  not peculiar , she appearing no stranger,though i did not know who she was.

she neither smiled, nor talked much, just doing the seva, with great love devotion as if it was a great pooja

she spotted me and i too felt some thing special, unusual in her talk , in her walk.

we exchanged a few words, routine, but it was unforgettable unexplainable, what was communicated between us

mostly we were just existing in silence together there , to me she appeared  just  a fullness.

the course was over, our intimacy continued over  phone, a tele satsang frequently
 

We exchanged souls’ out pourings overflowing with love, mundane matters acquiring  new colors, spiritual matters revealing ever new insights in our talks , so casual
 

The love was so intense, extremely satisfying, wanting us to interact again and again,

we entered and stayed inside each other’s souls and souls started talking to each other inside,

telephone became  unnecessary.
 

My heart wrote poems in  brunda consciousness

 నా వెంట బృంద నా పంట బృంద 

నా కంట బృంద నా ఇంట బృంద 

నా లోన బృంద నా జ్ఞాన బృంద 

నా చిన్న బృంద నా మిన్న బృంద

నీ నామం నా మంత్రం 

నీ వాక్యం నా కావ్యం 

నీ పాదాలు నీ ప్రసాదాలు 

నా పూజా ఫలితాలు 
 

నీవే నా దత్త గురువు 

దత్త దీక్ష ఇచ్చావు 

నీవే నా ఆత్మవు 

నీవే పరమాత్మవు 
 

నీ ధ్యానం దివ్య లోక సందర్శనం

along me  is brunda,  my harvest is brunda
in my eyes brunda, in my home brunda
in me brunda, my gyan brunda
my small brunda, my great brunda

thy name is , my manthra
thy talk , theme of my epic
thy feet thy gift of grace
result of my pooja

you are my dathaguru
initiated in to datha deeksha
you are my athma
you are paramathma
thy memory the vision of god's abode

it was an intoxication, an addiction.
just a memory of hers in me , and of mine in her, she says too ,is enough to send into a trance, even after a long time now, ---we not wishing / not needing to visit each others' homes, --though earlier we did once
love overcomes the distance ----physical or mental, and all barriers, biases , identities , ----like god it is

.................read on.....................
what next?
gradually our tele con lost charm, we felt
one day i said '' brunda who is inside me is more charming than you''
not surprized, she said '' i want to talk to you from my inside only  not thru phone, or in person''

all this telecon was  on earth plane, a walk talk, very nice enjoyable
on the way we got into a super plane, the pushpak viman , inside,  enjoying the flight talk 1000 times more charming.

i glimpsed this jump in my poem while i wrote ''in me brunda my gyan brunda''
what was the means for this jump?
it is name brunda
the names takes the flight  directly in to me--not the any physical id aspects in our meet or talk--though they were the initial steps, but slow
rishi here cognizes the glory of nama smarana, nama japa , just the name that's it
purandara dasa sings
neenyaako? ninna hangyaako? ranga
ninna namada balavondiddare saako

what avail are, you , your glory? ranga
the strength of your  name alone is enough

this break journey takes place, getting off  the train, and catching the flight.
one goes beyond the glory of icons, form phenomena mahima of gods to the inside of that god thru one's own inside.applies to temples, gurus, saints who / what ever in manifest form----every one takes us to our inside and stay there in full fledge glory unending

all saints have taken this inside flight  meera, jayadev, bilva mangal, akka, thukaram chaithanya --- many many others.

true love undependent, unconditional , independent of our psycho physio, endures within.
blessed are true lovers they are gods to each other and to all in the universe

 As human being, all will have background, 

surely it's black ground

maharishi valmiki had the worst background
great vemana , greatest bilvamangala , no different, do not fall back in the ground

bgs will surely find all the black in back, 
and take one to back , take no aback

do not forego your ground

before you die and get buried underground

so full of love

so reach again to the nascent-ness 

the just born state 

the innocent child state

vata pathra  shayee, and love bubbles out overflows 

the key is to gain original purity , in the body mind nervous system by contacting regularly with the unmanifest pure consciousness within simplest way is meditation for a few minutes ,added to the daily schedule ---no big deal

no secrete, no wait , nothing preparation nor prerequisite" 

  

childhood culturing 

There is enough of excitement mystery miracles, fun, edu for kids in our purana, gatha, udantha, upakhyana, in several lokas in our yugas, avatharas, ithihaasa, prabandha kavyas, great literature like kalidas, stories of kings, saints, folks.rishis, gurus, marvel of shashthreeya sangeeth, nruthya, naataka, glory of sanskruth bhasha, stotras, end less
let's open up these to them

nachiketha, dhruva, prahlad, hanuman krishna, ekalavya
.
i am lucky that i had listened harikathas, all such served a back ground foundation for my life edu, and professional career, no claims but i feel thankful to our rishi sanskrithi

you and me have a great job in this direction towards excellence and goal of life 

we need not follow all kind of stuff just because it is available

I have given the panorama for any one to work wonders with it for at least 10 years. 

let's think seriously 

let our intelligence guide our choices to invest our resources to max good result to us and others

."Let noble thoughts come to me from all directions"
- Rig Veda [Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah]

this has been mine and our sanathana , 

i am for accepting--- noble--- from every where-----

conversely, when i have access to noble, i naturally reject those less than noble.even if belonging ''to my or ours''

life is valuable, time is limited ----it is no wisdom to accept every thing , and to be experimenting with them-when i have better guidance from noble teachers 

''we consider all but go for the highest''--maharishi

 why ask the world to break its head to reject or accept

my conscience is the best judge, most authentic, direct

it's is the supreme verdict ,
not any other worthy's dict 

what may be spiritual, 
my concern is to spend my time most meaningful.

let the exchange/change/interchange of thoughts happen in any way, between
any number of seekers/masters or in-betweens 

i do not want to break my head 
this is my bid  . i say this with a heavy thud

pray, kindly leave me to be in my own frog-well
that is where is my birth growth and death, to me it's all well,

any other is just a hell
so i say farewell

 being judgmental ''----------is the essence in spiritual life, 

in the state of heightened awareness, 
discretion overtaking dogmas, beliefs, sentiments, 
surmises, fancies, instincts, fears, and all sorts of mental attitudes, deficiencies, 

-------to see things in full day light 

and know the true value or worth 

seeing thru all its pretensions, and surface sophistry 

and reach to the right among the numerous choices of inputs --physical or mental.----food cloth , knowledge wisdom information ,everything that is encountered in life to steer across and wisely skip and avoid wrong things causing damage mentally physically or environmentally , with one's nature taking the precautions and alerts, and lead a intelligent successful life , or else it is a blind man's groping in the dark and falling into ditch , entrapped in cages so abundantly made available by all and sundry, tho with great name and fame and greater mob following

 Most of the greatest feats or accomplishments require intelligence , much more than sweat, tears and toil in order to be accomplished successfully.

intelligence finds easier simpler faster, solutions, succeeds, inspiring sustained efforts to achieve the goal perfectly and with least inputs 

adversity is not a precondition to to tear away the things that cannot be torn, 
it's the expert guidance that helps us to see ourselves as we really are., irrespective of adversity or no adversity, 

the intelligent guide makes one's journey a cake walk, and helps to create a life bed of roses sans thorns

Those who did not find an easier path, who went thru hardships and still reached success are the ones who glorify the merits of adversity .

but adversity as such is secondary, incidental, but not a essential prerequisite for highest accomplishment, but intelligent guidance on the path, and guidance on the ways to enhance the intelligence are the essential prerequisites

Good words are of immense value, at the nick of time they really help, 

hence we are in st to get the wisdom thru words from those who tread the path successfully

System and individual entities are the main players in the universe
.
universe is a perfect system self regulating self creating self renovating self restoring

--all the infinite net work of nature's laws perfectly coordinated and faultlessly working, relentlessly

---all processes conforming to the laws carrying out the ultimate objective of evolution of consciousness

---with certain degrees of allowable tolerances.

and it's a highly dynamic with moment to moment pulsating phenomena.

scriptures give the detailed transactions that are taking place,on how/what of all actions having varied attendant influences on the components

and how they get regulated.

and those who are able to see the laws and the system see/create/weave time space situation

with iconic idioms which are symbolic but convey tremendously more than the literal significance.

one will get at its true value in proportion to the degree of his seeing ability.and gets guided in his

life with least deviations without harming himself or the system.

to read the scripture it is more necessary to read it in his inside than in the books or lectures. from outside.

which at best serve as links to open up depths, if only one is connected to his inner self adequately firmly.

dharma is system--containing the total and detailed lawscompletely defining the functioning of the universe overall and localized -----like how cosmos planets , galaxies, solar systems ie overall, and how each cell is working in the bodies of beings .
things and beings are the components /entities in the system.
but they are given limited intelligence proprional to the level of evolution and limited capabilities.
man knows so far and not further
man can walk a few miles and no further
one can of course stretch but so far but no further
each of us are given freedom but within limits.
if we exceed consequences follow.
. whether geetha or life of rama or maha bharath ---all have upheld system as supreme , that is dharma as supreme irrespective of all considerartins like bandhu mitra etc, and are asked to be in line.
tat is how i understand the scriptures.
system is well written but in small print so to say

And we are asked t do sadhana to be able to cognize and mould ourselves to conform lucky are those who sucseed, and they follow and guide others to follow for the complte good working of system

 adi deva namasthubhyam

Ahilandakoti brahmandanayaka has sent one surya as his rep for bhoomi to give light, life.

he is koti surya prabhatejam, means at least koti suryas do exist if not more

the seer sees much more in the phenomena , the sun is.

he sees sun as the paramathma dispelling the darkness,

more than, a fire of certain temp ,with so much calorific value

with light of so many candle power, or just an input for chlorofill ,or germcide and with certain

radius volume , life, with vibgyor colors unified

it evokes awe respect, fear in the theif, hope, happiness, as mithra,

i adore our tradition of deifying this phenomena, in much more fitting manner it deserves

it directly is god visible

sun is indirectly also a supreme god invisible residing and illuminating our outside and inside lives

nice we have this ratha sapthami

let's all be blessed by sun in and out, for this shining blog to day
