Tantric Symbolism !






The Vedic temple allegorically represents the triune bodies of man. The outer wall of the temple correpsonds to the gross physical body, the inner wall, the subtle physical body and the inmost wall, the causal body.

This is Tantric Symbolism !


Similarly the Light represented by the Lamp, denotes the Inner Light, the Absolute Self. A poetic verse states that the inner Light and the outer Light should be integrated ( Jnanagnim Bahyavahmin cha Ekeekritya Prapoojayeth ). Jnanagni refes to the Fire of Wisdom; Bahyavagni is the Light of the Lamp. Such an integrated Worship will definitely lead to Self Actualisation
