Mohini and Bhasmasura
Bhamasura
was a demon who was granted the power to turn anyone into ashes (Bhasma) when
his hand touches their head. This was
detailed earlier. The asura turned himself into ashes by the trick of Lord
Vishnu who took a female avathar, as the enchantress Mohini.
Our
Ego to control the Universeby destroying everything around us is symbolized as
Bhasmasura. When the Awareness (symbolized as Shiva) gives prosperity our energy
as boon to us. Our Ego then drives out the very same awareness away. Then to bring back peace within us, Vishnu
the symbolism of Vedas, appears in the form of enchanting spiritual knowledge
and tricks our egoistic mind and transforms it.
The fusion of this Awareness and Spiritual knowledge gives birth to
Moksha, symbolized as lord Dharma Saastha.
Dharma is the only objective of all lives and one who is viligant on
that is Saastha. Hid latest incarnation
is Swami ayyappa in Kali Yuga is only worshipped at Sabarimala.
Mahalakshmi,
wife of Lord Vishnu stealthily watched Mohini’s dance and learnt it to spread
the Vedic wisdom in the dance form known as Mohiniattam.
