________________ Among these eight auspicious symbols of Ashtamangal, Swastik brings balance, Srivatsa converts negativity to positivity, Matsya Yugal or twin fish solves complex problems, Sampusht or closed vessel brings strength to relationships, Kalash or pot provides protection, Nandavrit multiplies joy, Simhasana or throne brings steadiness to one's seat and Darpan or mirror increases knowledge. meditation cards and the images of Ashtamangal are drawn inside the Srivatsa. By the sadhana of Srivatsa, the image appears exactly in the centre. As you move forward on the path of meditation, you will become aware of any discrepancy that may occur. Sometimes this can be observed when the image is not seen in its totality or is bent on one side. The Image of Purushakar The primary tenet of meditation is that whatever the aspirant meditates upon, his mind moulds itself into the same. If he meditates upon a particular form, his mind is moulded into that form. He now starts absorbing the qualities and characteristics of that form. In the Namothunam Sadhana. the image of Purushakar is in the centre of the meditation card. Purushakar means the human form. It is not an image of any god or idol. It is the form of the soul when it pervades the human form. Within this image of Purushakar, 24 smaller images are etched as focal points. These images are the centres of our vital body. It is not the gross physical body but this vital body which is the focus of this sadhana. The aim of this sadhana is to awaken the complete power of the soul. During pregnancy, the mother easily feels the movement of her child. Hence she must keep her mind focussed on her child. The simple formula of this sadhana is that whatever image or form is used for meditation, the same will appear before her inner vision when she closes her eyes. Hence while seeing these images, if the mother is concentrating upon her child, then it means that these images have been superimposed upon the child. X
