centres between Ajna and Sahasrara even earlier. It was, however, left to Sri Ramchandraji to elucidate on them.
The feeling of nearness to the Lord turns into a feeling of proximity with the Lord. In the earlier knot the feeling of surrender to the Lord which was experienced now changes its hue to that of lordship by virtue of
proximity to the Lord. Due to the real contact with the Lord one has developed, there also develops a feeling of revering oneself and in fact one feels that all his limbs and organs are all Divine and needs to be kept sacred and in fact worshipped. Much of what goes in Sri Vaishnavism where they try to beautify the body and make it venerable is based on this logic namely the body and mind of the Jiva is the gift of God and has all the characteristics of the Divine once it is surrendered to the Lord. The misfortune was the gross interpretation given to the tradition.
