Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Lord Siva is also known as Rudra The Lord of Tears. Vedic Literature shows that the Rudraksa Bead was Created from the Tears of Rudra the Fierce Form of Lord Siva thus endowing it with Medicinal and Spiritual Powers that are transferred to the wearer of these Highly Auspicious Holy Beads The meaning of the name Rudra is traceable to the Vedas and said to be derived from rud ( dravayita ) he who drives away sin or suffering. Eight different aspects of nature are the direct manifestations of Rudra and they are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, The Sun, The Moon and the Life Force. Anything Good and Auspiciuos, anything that keeps us Healthy and Happy and anything that helps us attain Freeedom from pain and misery is RUDRA Sri Rudram is one of the five scriptural texts chosen by the ancients for constant Reptition adn Meditation. The Five are the Upanishads of one own Sakha, The Bhagavad Gita, The Vishnu Sahasranama, The Sri Rudram and the Purusha Suktam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
