Symbols and significance

Namaste all.

Today we will see about the wheel.

The symbol and significance of wheet.

The wheel symbolizes progress. Improvement. development.

It is called as Dharma Chakra. Buddha’s doctrine revolutionized individual and social life. In Saranath Buddha’s sermon is known as Dharma Chakra Pravartana.

Like Dharma, Time ie. kala is also called as Kala Chakra.

Time is considered to be cyclic and not linear.

Lord Sudharshana is referred and worshipped in the form of chakra only.  Sri Krishna’s unfailing weapon is Sri Sudharshana chakra.

Sudharshana also means a powerful illuminator.

Sudharshana will destroy the wicked persons and protect the sadhus. Yogis can use Sudharshana as a torch to show them the right path of Dharma.

In our human body we believe that we have six chakra in specific parts of our body.

Above all, the human worldly life is always referred us samsara chaktra. Once any human caught in the Samsara chaktra, will find it very difficult to come out of it.

… let God Sri Krishna, the Sudharshana dhaari, who is the only one has the control over dharma, kala and samsara chakra bless us, save us and protect us.
