Slokam 6

In this slokam, Sri Bhattadri delves into the focal point of the Tapas which is the form and attributes of Paramathma.  In following Bhakthi Marga, we repeatedly revert to this cornerstone of visualizing the Paramathma within ourselves. His physical form is bejewelled and adorned to attract and keep the mind from wandering. The shimmering yellow cloth and the blue rain cloud hue adorning his body provide contrast and the sense of unlimited resource and power.

The Chakra, the Mace, the Lotus and Shanka, along with the Kaustubha Jewel radiating in brilliance are but manifestations of the different aspects of His unlimited power.

The unlimited resource and power originate from one source – complete self knowledge and complete self control.

Along with the visualization of the physical form, consider the aspect of tranquility, eternity, endless creativity (MAYA)  and most importantly His complete acceptance of what we are and the way we are, and He will always

May we have the resolve to associate the exquisite form of the Paramathma in all the wonderful manifestations that we perceive through the senses.
