Significance:
The word ‘Parijata’ here means the divine tree , which yield to all
objects of desire . It is also called Kalpa-taru. In Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu
purana and the Mahabharata it is said that, during the Samudra Mantana , the
Paritha tree came out of the Ocean among the three valuables. Parijatha also
means , a tree - which is the night flowering coral jasmine, which is found at
the top of Mount Meru. The tree is also identified with mandara tree. The word
‘parijata’ also comes in astrology, where it is called Raja yoga or Parijatha
yoga. A person with parijatha yoga will be a forgiving , generous,kind hearted,
fearless, successful , strong willed, fond of battles,will lead a wealthy and
royal life during their middle part of their life.
The Jnana-mudra,
the symbol of knowledge, it is the gesture of intuitive knowledge. The word
mudra means “mudh + Dravay – to draw forth delight or pleasure”. Mudra is that
which brings happiness, that which removes pain and sorrows. It is said नास्ति मुद्रा समं
किंचित् सिद्धिदं क्षितिमण्डले There is
nothing in this world like mudra which gives success. . Mudras are combination
of subtle physical movements. Mudras are higher practices which lead to
awakening of the pranas, chakras and kundalini. In jnana mudra, the index
finger which symbolises the individual consiousness is bowing to the thumb,
which symbolises the Supreme consciouness.
