NAKSHATRA HASTA - THE CLUTCHING HAND

"The illumined yoke their mind and they yoke their thoughts to the illumined
godhead, to the vast, to the luminous in consciousness; the one knower of all
manifestation of knowledge, he alone orders the things of sacrifice. Great is the
praise of Savitri, the creating godhead."
(Rigveda, V-81)
Savitri is said to be the Creator, Fashioner - Twastri - of all these forms and
worlds.
'Man, subjectively, contains in himself all the worlds in which, objectively, he is

contained.' In a more concrete manner, the Vedic Rishis speak of the physical
consciousness as Prithvi, Bhu, earth. The mental consciousness as Dyauor Swar or
heaven. And between the physical and the mental is Bhuvar, the dynamic vital or
nervous consciousness.

seven horses or one horse with seven heads. He is also shown with four hands, three
carrying a wheel, a conch-shell and a lotus and the fourth in a protective mode. 1-us
charioteer is Aruna, the god of dawn, who carries a whip in his hand. Being the

communities
