| svarupa-abhasa |
the partial infiltration of the full brilliance; for example, on
a cloudy day the light of the sun is present, but the full
brilliance of the sun is shaded by the clouds. |
| svarupa-laksana |
principal symptom (i.e. surrender to Lord Krsna) of a sadhu
regardless of his varna and asrama. |
| svarupa-sakti |
the internal potency of the Lord Himself. The svarupa-sakti
contains the very essence of the hladini and samvit potencies; the amalgam of the svarupa-sakti with the jiva's bliss
and knowledge produces the mentality required for pure
spontaneous devotion, known as the bhakti-svarupam-sakti. |
| sveccha-purvika |
voluntary meditating on Krsna's pastimes and thereby spontaneous taste. |
| syama |
the Lord's exquisite dark complexion. |
| tamala |
a tree whose bark is similar in color to Krsna's complexion,
and whose graceful curving trunk also looks similar to
Krsna, found in the forest groves on the banks of the River
Yamuna in Vrndavana. |
| tantra |
originally referred to instructions for worshipping, but later
became perverted into a style of materialistic demigoddess
worship based upon the mode of ignorance. |
| tatastha |
the marginal region (tatastha) of the para-sakti manifests
the jiva-sakti. The jiva is eternal and inconceivably one
with, and yet simultaneously different from, the Supreme
Lord; he is Lord Krsna's energy and is therefore counted
among the paraphernalia of the Lord's service. |
| tathasta-laksana |
the material or external symptoms of a sadhu.; they vary
according to the varnas and asrama of the devotee. |
If you know you're not the body, then you will probably have deeper, more spiritual goals in life. This will make you see the desires of your senses as something to control, not succumb to. Because you'll see your material desires as distinct from your true desires, you'll make an attempt to curb your material desires so they don't get in your way.
Siddhaswarupanda
tattva-
vyavadhana |
a disruption in the philosophy or conclusions while chanting
the holy name; this is a very heinous offense against the holy
name. |
| tilaka |
the markings of sacred clay on the forehead and other parts
of a Vaisnava's body. Each tilaka marking signifies a temple
of a different Visnu expansion of the Lord. |
| tulasi |
a bush often found growing wild in Vrndavana, that is
offered to the lotus feet of Lord Visnu; known as the 'holy
basil'. |
| tulasi-mala |
a necklace of 109 beads of wood from the Tulasi tree, used
for counting while chanting the holy name (see japa-mala). |
