News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever we go to the temple or serve Laddu Gopal at home, our head involuntarily bows at his feet. These feet are called ‘Lotus Feet’ because just as the lotus keeps itself spotless and beautiful even while living in the mud, similarly the feet of the Lord, despite living in this illusory world, take us all out of the quagmire of the world.
Let us today talk about some of those special symbols which, just by looking at the feet of Krishna, fill a person with positive energy.
1. The Goad
According to our scriptures, the human mind is like an intoxicated and playful elephant, which is very difficult to control. The mark of the curb under the right foot of Shri Krishna is a symbol of the fact that by taking refuge in the feet of God, the elephant in the form of our mind is controlled. If your mind wanders a lot, then meditating on this symbol is considered very auspicious.
2. The Flag
The presence of the flag at the feet of the Lord is a symbol of ‘victory’. Its spiritual secret is that the person who takes refuge in Krishna gets freedom from fear and gets the inspiration to conquer the evils within him.
3. The Thunderbolt
Vajra is hard and according to old stories it destroys sins. The mark of the thunderbolt on the feet of Kanha is an indication that the remembrance of the Lord breaks the old accumulated sins of our lives in the same way as the thunderbolt destroys big mountains.
4. Lotus and Fish
The lotus mark on the foot gives peace and coolness. At the same time, the sign of fish is a symbol of playfulness and continuity. Their deep secret is that just as a fish cannot live without water, similarly a true devotee cannot live without the feet of God. The symbol of fish helps to stabilize our mind in one place.
Why are they called fortune changers?
Actually these symbols are not just lines, but points of meditation. Saints say that when you meditate in your mind on these 19 marks of Krishna’s feet, your intelligence starts becoming satvik. Its biggest benefit is that the person comes out of the trap of greed, attachment and anger.
In today’s busy life, we often run here and there in search of peace, whereas the treasure of peace is hidden in those soft feet of Kanha. So next time you see the statue of Murli Manohar, take a moment to feel these symbols at his feet. It is said that the one whose eyes see the dust of Kanhai’s feet, his boat is sure to sail.
