AYYAPPA MUDRA

MEANING OF CHIN -MUDRA THAT AYYAPPA SHOWS IN HIS HAND.

In a self realized person all the thoughts are under his control. He recognizes his divinity as inscribed in the Sabarimala temple "ThatTvam Asi", which means "You are that supreme Consciousness".
This is the meaning of chin-mudra that ayyappa shows. Little finger represents body, ring finger represents mind (that is why in wedding ring is worn in ring finger or mind finger because the event is the joining of two individuals are mind level) . The middle finger is the senses and the fore finger is the “I” or ego thought. The thumb is the consciousness finger or intellect finger without which the other fingers are useless. The forefinger is always found associated with the other three fingers and when it transcends them it merges with the thumb to form a circle which indicates that this consciousness has no beginning and end. This is the thatva of chin mudra that Ayyappa shows and tells his devotees to achieve in life
