Dear devotees,

Adiyen remembers the following explanation on Cin
mudra from a Vedantha text book :

The three fingers standing out represent body, mind
and intellect i.e standing out, going beyond or
transcending one's body, mind and intellect (BMI)

The index finger bending - Meaning - surrendering or
annihilating one's ego

The result of the above two is a circle formed by the
index finger touching the thumb - i.e one realizes the
supreme (Narayana).

Sri:

Thanks for the quick clarification.

Just to make sure Adiyen is on the same page,
ThathvaThrayam is the Achit, Chit, and Easwara
thathvam, while the RahasyaThrayam is the
Thirumanthram, Dwayam and Charama Slokam? 

If somebody can explain the tridandam a bit more that
will be most welcome (all adiyen has heard is that of
the three, one comes through the generations through
various Jeeyars...may be signifying "Or An Vazhi"?).

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan.
