Tears of the Lord
"Divya varsha sahasram tu chakshurunmeelitmayaa, paschanmaakulakshibhyah patita jalbindavah"
"For one thousand divine years I kept closed my eyes then tear drops fell from my eyes".
In front of a temple in Varanasi (Benaras) I met this lady who came for Gujarat, she was buying a few religious items to bring back home, like those Rudraksh beads, tears of Lord Shiva.
The red powder under her hands is sindoor, a red powder (Vermilion) which is the mark of a married woman in Hinduism, it is kept in those little painted boxes (on the left of the image) known as sindoor daani.
Later I took several portraits of her and with her friends who were pilgrims as well, they even asked me to join them for a few pictures.
According to "Shiva Purana", Lord Shiva once went into deep meditation for the well being of all living creatures.
When he woke up, he opened his eyes and tear drops fell on the Earth.
These tear drops took the form of seeds that later on became the Ridraksha tree.
Lord Shiva is always portrayed wearing rosaries of Rudraksha beads on his head, arms and hands.
With this came the religious, spiritual, physical and materialistic significance of Rudraksha.
It is believed that the seed of Rudraksha contains the secrets of entire evolution of the cosmos within it.
It is proven that the bead has powerful electromagnetic, paramagnetic and inductive properties that vary according to the different faces. It creates specific electric impulses that are sent to the brain stimulating certain centres that then transfer information to the neurophysiology.
This is the main way in which the bead has an impact on the human body.
These electromagnetic impulses can affect the heartbeat, blood pressure, stress levels and hypertension on a physical level.
On the mental level, the bead’s impulses can relieve anxiety, depression, mood disorders and neurotic conditions, while on the spiritual level, it promotes meditation and enlightenment.
