Of Allegories and Symbols

This is an allegorical depiction of Prakrithi's dance on Purusha .

His breast He offers for Her Cosmic Dance
Over our lives which are the quivering theatre !

Purusha and Prakrithi are coexistent aspects of the Eternal.

We have said that the great poets hid Mysteries in Symbology.

The function of Epic and Mythology is to adumbrate philosophic verities. Ithihasa puranabhyam vedam samupabrimhayeth !

Bridal Mysticism opens up the Intuitive Mind

The great poet Ottur wrote

Namamanu Mahavakyam
Namamanu Jagat Guru
Namamanu Thapascharya
Namaman Ishta Daivatham

Glorious is His Name, Nama 
His Name is the Great Aphorism
His Name is Universal Teacher
Greatest Meditation is Nama
And the Tutelary Deity !

Namamanu Ithihasangal
Namamanu Veda Vanikal
Namamanu Kavya Ratnangal
Namamanu Shuka Samhitha !

Nama are all Epics
Nama are all Vedas
All great poetry is Nama
His Name is Shuka Samhitha

Namamanu Athbhutha Swargam
Namamanu Punarbhavam
Namamanu Maha Siddhi
Namamanu Samasthavum

Unbelievable Heaven is Nama
Nama is all in all
Nama is psychic powers
Everything is His Name !


Chanting the Divine Name can open up the Intutive Mind, as in the case of Valmiki. The Intuitive Mind, once opened, will reveal all to the aspirant ! Says Aurobindo " I experienced three of the four faculties of the Intuitive Reason, Revealation, Inspiration and Intuition, known to the Rishies as Ila, Saraswathi and Sarama". This experience came after the Lord revealed his Universal Form, Vishva Roopa . to Aurobindo, in jail.
