Vrindavan: June 2023

Friday, June 23, 2023

Siddhas, Sadhyas and Gandharvas are the Kokilas (cuckoos) of Vrindâvana.

The petals are the seats of different performances of Sri Krishna and are different occult centres.

The southern petal contains a most occult seat, attainable with difficulty by the greatest of Yogins.
The south-eastern petal contains two secret recesses.
The eastern petal has the most purifying properties.
The north-east petal is the seat of fruition. The Gopis attained Krishna on this petal, by worshipping Kâtyâyani. Their clothes were also stolen on this petal.
The northern petal is the seat of the twelve Âdityas. It is as good as the disc itself.
The north-west petal is the seat of Kâliya.
On the western petal, favor was shewn to the wives of the Vedic Rishis. Here the Asura Agha was killed. Here is also the Lake called Brahmâ.
