yad vidur hy aniruddhakhyam
samradhyam yogibhih sanaih
yat-which mind; viduh-is known; hi-indeed; aniruddha-akhyam-by the name Aniruddha; hrsikanam-of the senses; adhisvaram-the supreme ruler; sarada-autumnal; indivara-like a blue lotus; syamam-bluish; samradhyam-who is found; yogibhih-by the yogis; sanaih-gradually.
The mind of the living entity is known by the name of Lord Aniruddha, the supreme ruler of the senses. He possesses a bluish-black form like a lotus flower growing in the autumn. He is found solely by the yogis.
The system of yoga entails controlling the mind, and the Lord of the mind is Aniruddha. It is stated that Aniruddha is four-handed, with Sudarsana cakra, conchshell, club and lotus flower. There are twenty-four forms of Visnu, each differently named. Among these twenty-four forms, Saṅkarsana, Aniruddha, Pradyumna and Vasudeva are depicted very nicely in the Caitanya-caritamrta, where it is said that Aniruddha is worshiped by the yogis. Meditation upon voidness is a modern invention of the fertile brain of some speculator. Actually the process of yoga meditation, as prescribed in this verse, should be fixed upon the form of Aniruddha. By meditating on Aniruddha one can become free from the agitation of acceptance and rejection. When one's mind is fixed upon Aniruddha, he gradually becomes God realized; he approaches the pure status of Krsna consciousness, which is the ultimate goal of yoga.
