Markings on the Soles of Their Feet

[Guest guest]

I found a silver pendant sold in the Krishna Culture website, in the shape of

Krishna's footprints, with all sorts of markings on the soles -- conchshells,

lotuses, tulsi plants, etc. They also have a book illustrating the feet and

hands of other divine personages, such as Radharani, Chaitanya, and Nityananda.

 

Where did the notion of " markings " on the soles and palms of such personages

come from? Is it exclusive to Vaishnava tradition? (I seem to recall rumors of

marks on the Buddha's lotus feet -- but not on, say, the blue-black feet of Ma

Kali.) Are such markings only found on mortal feet? Are there markings found

on Parvati's feet, or Hanuman's, or various legendary Saints?

 

How do such markings relate to the divinitory practices of palm-reading and

sole-readng?

dear blacklotus

 

 

the chinnha or marks are a sign of divinity auspiciouness etc.

 

they can be on a hindu or non hindu also.

 

many elephants,horses cows etc have some sacred signs.

 

in humans there r actually seen swastik,trishul,padma,shankh

etc on palms and feet of highly realised souls.

 

by learning proper samudrik vidya and palmistry u can know

the proper meanings of these.
