What does it mean when Sindoor falls on the nose of the Bride?- An Interesting Facts

 

There is a saying - regarding the amount of Sindoor (Vermilion) that falls on a bride's nose when her groom puts it on her forehead.

It determines how much the husband will love her.

The most prosperous moments in a marriage ceremony is when the groom ties the ‘Mangal sutra’ or ‘thali’ around his bride’s neck and puts on the Sindoor on her forehead.

Since centuries it is believed that longer and darker the shade of Sindoor is, the longer is the husband’s life.

Its significance is mentioned in epic books like Lalitha Sahasranama, Soundarya Lahari, etc.

It is said that Goddess Parvati protects the husbands of those women who put Sindoor and also wards off all evil spirits.

According to Vedas there are five Koshas or sheaths and seven planes. The Kundalini (According to Tantra treatise) or Life-power (According to Vedas) after awakening by God-the-preceptor moves upwards making the way to the cerebrum(part of the brain). In the upward progress she has pass through five sheaths or the Koshas and seven planes.

There are innumerable realizations in different planes. When the mind reaches the sixth plane situated in the middle of the two eyebrows and the forehead, a pair of lotuses, but they are circles with half an inch diameter, the surface of the circles are covered with light. These two circles are seen. Up this circles rise; they disappear and only one circle comes out with a small image of Buddha in it. The circle is called Janananetra the third eye or the eye of Knowledge.

From there the life-power then comes to the seventh plane and Atman or God’s light is visualized.

The above was the experience achieved by our God-the-preceptor Diamond or Jibankrishna and by whose grace we have also achieved such experiences though partially because such thing occurs within a person in full measure having flawless body.

During the post Vedic era, the women folks were kept downtrodden in the spiritual life. Probably you know that Women folks were not allowed to study Vedas and the Brahminical era announced that women folks have no right to worship Lord Narayana. Why ? They said that women folks cannot visualize Atman or God in the seventh plane. Their mind cannot go beyond the sixth plane where different forms of God like different gods and goddesses can be seen in the causal body. And so from there this custom was in vogue. It is merely symbolic based on the Vedanta philosophy.

But in the era of Diamond or Jibankrishna we are witnessing that all these differences are completely eradicated by seeing him in dreams, trances, meditation etc getting him as God-the-preceptor who is guiding thousands of people irrespective of race, religion, gender and age to attain Brahmahood or Oneness, where everybody has the same right to achieve ‘Brahmavidya’ or the Supreme Knowledge. We are seeing that everybody can go to the seventh plane to attain the Supreme Bliss in dreams etc eradicating the old prejudices and establishment of the Vedic Truth.

This is the beauty of the Tradition behind the sindoor.
