LOKASWARUP BHAVANA Lokaswarup Bhavana :- We intend to give below a brief description of this Lokaswarup Bhavana. The nature of Lokaswarup can be compared with a man, standing with his legs wide open and with his hands on his waist. The shape of Lokaswarup is like that of a tapering dining dish or like a wooden pestle standing straight on the ground. Down below are the Lord of earth, (Bhuvan Pati) Vyantara and seven types of hell; oblique are situated two and a half peninsulas and above are twelve divine areas, nine Graiveyaka, five Anuttar VIMAN and above all is placed Siddha Sheela, the neighbour of the state of Siddhas or self realised souls. This is how the illuminater of Lokaloka, all knowing, all seeing and incomparable knowers of Kaivalya or absoluteness have shown. Thus completes in brief the Lokaswarup Bhavana.
For closing all entrances to sins are Asrav Bhavana and Samvar Bhavana, for very high fruits of penances is Nirjara Bhavana and for getting some idea of Lokaswarup is this Lokaswarup Bhavana. Thus these four Bhavanas are completed in four prints of this philosophical lesson.
