SONG 23

This song explains how our inner power ''Kundalini'' rises in our body for yogic practice to realize the absolute truth.

It is raining heavily in the jungle. The jungle is located on hills with dens. Inside a deep dark den lives the great lion king. He comes out majestically and smartly from the darkness to light to rule the jungle. Like that lion, Krishna is expected to come out of his palace .He is sleeping with Radha, the awareness, inside our mind which is a dark den of ignorance.

Then Aandaal is asking Krishna to get seated properly in a relaxed mood on his throne and asking him to enquire about their visit. Krishna is expected to question them in detail about their need to surrender.

In this song Aandaal is expressing her fearlessness and clear cut mind without ignorance, in her smart dialogue to Krishna. There must not be any fear between the Lord and the devotee. This state will come only when the devotee's mind is clear and has surrendered to the Lord.

Aandaal is also showing how even a wife must not be egoistic to her husband out of her love. She must be very humble and polite. There are situations in life when she needs to behave like a person who seeks her husband's help. There must not be any ego because of her position. A wife must always help the guests to approach her husband easily and she must be with her husband for all dharmas. This is the concept behind surrendering to Mahalaxmi. Aandaal is also showing how she is taking care of her devotees and also making it easy for them to approach  Krishna.

Sitha Devi always behaved like this. The husband is the awareness and the wife is the sakthi. Both cannot exist without the other.

Exercise: Try to help your friends or any one who approaches you for any help. Try to help them more than they are in need of.
