Significance of Dhwaja Sthamba

I am a follower of a spiritual Guru - Shri Shri Nimishananda. During one the question and answer sessions with Him, one of the devotees asked Him - Pujya Guruji, what is the significance of Dhwaja Sthamba or Garudagamba – the sacred flag post outside the main door of the temple?

Pujya Guruji replied:
"Just like the television station transmits signals to various televisions through antennas, the grace and blessings of the deity in the temple are transmitted to the whole world through the antenna called the flag post (Dhwaja Sthamba). When the consciousness is infused into the deity during the Kumbhabhisheka – called as the consecration ceremony of the temple - the same consciousness is also permeated into the flag post (Dhwaja Sthamba). When this is done, from a mere stone idol, the deity becomes the very fount of cosmic energy. This energy is reflected onto the sacred flag post (Dhwaja Sthamba), which stands directly opposite the deity, and is transmitted to the entire cosmos itself."
