Why does Nataraja have a circle of flames around him?
Why does Kali wear a garland of severed heads?
Why do we perform rituals like Pradakshina and Aarti?
What is the meaning of the story of Samudra Manthan?
What is the meaning and significance of Om?
Why did the Vedic sages worship the Agni and Surya?
To know the answers to these questions, we have to learn the language of Symbolism. Every aspect of Sanatana Dharma – Image worship, Rituals such as Pradakshina, Aarti and Visarjan, mythological epics and stories – is steeped in symbolism. We cannot understand it unless we penetrate this veil of symbolism. The meaning is hidden. The symbols have to be decoded. Without the code, the outward symbols are devoid of content and meaning.
A Grain of Sand decodes this language of symbolism and brings out the inner meaning and the lofty wisdom of the ancients. This is an invitation. Come. Pierce the veil of symbolism and discover the hidden treasures of Sanatana Dharma. Reclaim your priceless legacy.
Let us set sail into this ocean of mystery. Let us explore.
