Bridal Mysticism is akin to Intellectual Mysticism. The Self is the Consort and He can be imagined in any form, as all forms are He ! Here in this magnificent temple, His Form is that of Lord Rama. Ramyathe ithi Ramah – meaning that which attracts and tantalises the Mind is Rama !
We have to understand that Sakhyam ( eternal friendship with Him ) and Atma Nivedanam ( Sacrifice for the Self ) are part of Bridal Mysticism or Bhakti Yoga. He is our Friend, Consort and Guide. Whatever be His Form, whatever be His Name, He is always He !
