Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Dear Esteem Members In Sanskrit rudraksha literally means "the eye of Rudra" or "red- eyed", from rud, "to cry," and aksha, meaning "eye". In one story by Saivites, God himself (Siva) shed a tear, on viewing the misfortunes of humanity. This single tear became the first Rudraksha tree, and a sign of his compassion. In another story, while destroying the asura fortress of Tripura (mythology), the seeds from Lord Siva's eyes emerged to form rudraksha. Rudraksha literally stands for the eyes of Lord Shiva implying that it was "pleasant to the eyes of Lord" (Shiva), and hence it is named in his honor. Hence join the holy group Rudraksham and seek the knowledge of Rudraksha by clicking the link given below. rudraksham/join Regards Prasanna Kumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
