Spiritual Significance
Narayana Suktam is the ultimate heart meditation:
- Heart Lotus Bud: Visualizes the heart lotus hanging face-down like a lotus bud, 12 finger-widths above the navel.
- Nivara Shuka Flame: Describes the indwelling flame as slender as a rice awn (Nivarashukavattanvi), golden-yellow and brilliant.
- Synthesis of Godheads: Mantra 7 establishes that Narayana in the heart flame is Brahma, Shiva, Hari, Indra, and Supreme Brahman.
