Excerpt from a Lecture by HH Lokanath Swami
When I had gone to Bankura in Bengal to get the deities for Padayatra, the murtiwala, I asked him.
'What is the meaning of one hand up and one hand down like this?' He said, "This meant 'ma sucah', do not fear.
And other hand, come here, come near, do not to fear. He is pointing to His lotus feet, 'mam ekam saranam vrajah' take shelter. Do not fear."
That murtiwala was explaining. So this is the mood of Mahaprabhu. So that Caitanya Mahaprabhu deity in that mood used to be there.
