The Resplendent and Divine form of Sriman Narayana

The most auspicious Lord of all Jeevas (worldly beings), Sriman Narayana (God with Form) took a wonderful four-armed Form which is most pleasing to the eye. Here is my description of it.

The Lord stands on a pedestal indicating that He is above all.
The Lord has a conch shell in His upper left Hand indicating that He is the Originator of Naadam or Omkaram or primeval sound which is the Cause and Dissolution of the Universe
The Lord holds a Chakra in His upper right Hand indicating that He is the Supreme Master of Time or the cycles of Time
The Lord holds a mace in His left lower Hand indicating that He is willing to fight for the victory of virtue and for the establisment of Dharma. But it is in His left hand because it is His Last Resort!
The Lord holds a lotus in His lower right Hand indicating that He is the most detached, like how a lotus is detached from the water and rises above it.
The Lord sports a bewitching smile which indicates that He is compassionate and merciful and well wisher of His Devotees, namely all creation
The Lord wears various costly ornaments indicating He is extremely wealthy and is a bestower of wealth
The Kaustubha in the Lord's chest indicates that He is extremely fond of the Rishis and even adjusts to their whims and fancies.
The tilak in the Lord's Forehead indicates He is most ethical and cultured among all

May the Glorious Lord bring Peace to all. Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi. Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavanthu!
