RATH: YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT THE CORRECT ANSWER, BUT THE LOGIC IS NOT CLEAR.

PERHAPS YOU HAD SOME IDEA'S BUT THEY ARE NOT YET CLEAR. ATMA HAS TWO PARTS

TO IT AS THE JEEVATMA AND THE PARAMATMA WHICH ARE THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL AND

THE SUPER SOUL BOTH ENCOMPASSED IN A CAGE IN THE HEART. THERE ARE OTHER

EXPLANATIONS TO THIS, AND I LEAVE IT HERE.

MANA IS LOOSELY INTERPRETED AS MIND. ACTUALLY IN INCLUDES THE VARIOUS

LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. THIS CAN INCLUDE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PHYSICAL

LEVEL AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER LEVELS.

DEHA MEANS BODY AND IT MERELY REFERS TO THE PHYSICAL EXISTENCE OF THE

PANCHATATWA IN APARTICULAR FORM LIKE A HUMAN BODY OR ANY INANIMATE OBJECT.

 

BUT YOU HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF THE ATMA. PLEASE

RETHINK.

RATH: NO, VISHNU STATUES ARE GENERALLY STANDING (LAGNA), SHIVA IS GENERALLY

WORSHIPPED AS SITTING IN A YOGIC POSTURE (7TH HOUSE) OR AS THE LINGA (7TH

HOUSE).

RATH: THE WHOLE BODY OF NARAYAN IS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION OR PERCEPTION

LIKE THE VASTNESS OF THIS UNIVERSE. HENCE, THE ONLY WAY WE CAN REPRESENT

THIS IS BY A BLANK PAGE.

 

HINT: TRY TO DERIVE THE 12 SIGNS AND YOU WILL SEE HOW EASILY ALL FITS IN.
