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).

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"?).
