Lord Vishnu is portrayed as Sleeping on a Bedroll of a Huge Snake in Paarkkadal,Ksheera Sagara(Ocean of Milk).
This is allegory.
Lord Vishnu does not sleep.
His sleep is called Yoga Nidra (Sleeping posture i Yoga) or Ari Thuyil(Tamil-sleeping while aware of everything)
The Snake Adisehsa is the coiled Cosmic energy in the Solar Plexus(Mooladhaara).
Usually I do not watch Television in the afternoons.
Today I just switched on the TV, a Tamil Channel which was set earlier by some one at my Home.
The screen opened with the Giant Image of Anjaneya baring his chest to reveal Lord Ram.
It was the Producer's Logo for His Film in Tamil!
When I went for my usual nap, as is my habit, I hunted for any book or magazine.
I came across a Tamil Magazine of June 2006(Gnana Aalayam), which featured my article.
As I skipped through it , I came across a brief outline of Panakalu Narasimha temple, where The God Narasimha drinks Panaka, Jaggery water Daily.
I want to share this with my readers.
