Namasthe- Eight most favorite flowers of Lord Krishna

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

What are the eight most favorite flowers of Lord Krishna?

 

1. Ahimsa pushapam- Nonviolence in thoughts and actions. Color of this flower is pure white.

 

2. Indiryanigraha pushpam- Controlling of senses and avoiding excessive indulgence. A red flower represents this.

 

3. Sarvabhoothadaya pushpam - Kindness reaching all the creation of God. This is a beautiful green flower.

 

4. Kshama pushpam - Patience. Off white flower with lot of thick petals.

 

5. Shanthi pushpam - Peace. Color of this flower is light blue, same as His color.

 

6. Tapa: pushpam- Penanace with sacrifice. This is an orange flower.

 

7. Dhyana pushpam- meditation. This is a dark blue flower similar to Shamkhu pushpam

 

8. Sathyam- Truth - Bright yellow flower matching His peethaambaram or yellow cloth.

 

 

As per the scriptures, we should start archana with all beautiful flowers in our garden outside (baahya pushpaas) and then slowly elevate ourselves to to do archana with the above eight flowers. They are Aantharika or inner flowers from our garden inside.

 

Ahimsa prathamam pushpam pushpam Indriya nigraha:

Sarvabhoothadayaa pushpam Kshamaa pushpam visheshatha:

Shaanthi pushpam Thapa: pushpam Dhyaana pushpam thadhaiva cha

Sathyam ashtavidham pushpam Vishno: preethikaram bhaveth

 

Regards and prayers
