The universe is deeply interconnected and is forever communicating with us in the form of signs and symbols. Haritha Nayak demystifies them.
As an initiate, have you ever wondered or wanted to connect with the Universal consciousness to know the answers? Do you know that, we are, at all times, in connection with it and communicating with it? Of course, people do not know how to decipher this communication because it happens in the form of symbols and signs in meditations, dreams and even in concrete reality. It requires one to have the knowledge of symbolic language to connect to the Source Code, to understand and perceive well this communication within the universe. And when we receive the Source Code, our whole life transforms.
The ancients used to use symbolic language to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. When there was no mechanism to write books and maintain records, wisdom was passed on in the form of folklores, stories and holy symbols. The Ying Yang, the Star of David or the Ardhnareshwara form of Shiva are symbols used to depict the fusion of polarities that exist in each one of us. Similarly, different traditions used symbolism to convey the same spiritual messages all across the world. Therefore when we know the symbolic meaning, i.e., the consciousness behind the symbol or story, we connect to the source code of wisdom in its purest form, which is beyond everything!
Indian mythology is quite interesting and full of wisdom if we understand it symbolically. It has references to many animals. This is because animals symbolise the ‘needs’ that arise in us. And transcending the needs leads one to an elevated consciousness. In Indian mythology, an animal is associated with each deity. This is to help the initiate understand what kind of tendencies he has to transcend in order to acquire the qualities of that particular deity.
