The word ‘Rudra’ refers to one of the fierce forms of Lord Shiva whereas, ‘Aksha’ refers to the eye or the tears of Lord Shiva. The Rudraksha beads aren’t just seeds that are acquired from a tree but they are energy-packed natural seeds that vibrate at the same frequency as we do.

Story of Rudrakshas

According to one legend, there once lived a demon king named Maya. He was very powerful and fearless. He built three cities; all three cities were constructed in different metals. One was made of Gold, the other was built in Silver and the third was made of Iron. He named this township Tirupur as these cities could not be destroyed by any attack or force. Because of this creation, the demon Maya came to be known as Tripurasura. This fierce demon harassed Gods and saints and disturbed everyone making their lives miserable.

Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu tried to control the demon but they too failed. Day by day the demon started causing more troubles and soon all the Gods including Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu went to Lord Shiva to seek His help. The Lord agreed to help. Lord Shiva indulged in deep meditation and after we woke up, He made use of the most powerful weapon called ‘Aghor’ to kill Tripurasura. The fire-lit weapon killed the demon but the light and brilliance of this weapon blinded Lord Shiva for some time. Shiv Ji closed His eyes for some time and when He opened His eyes, tear drops rolled out of his eyes and when these drops fell on Earth, they turned into Rudrakshas and grew into evergreen trees.

The Wedding Of Your Dreams

Hollywood movies have really raised the bar when it comes to weddings. Everything in movies looks extravagant and lovely and it gets you to start planning your own wedding. One of my favorite wedding scenes is from the movie, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’. The movie had this wedding scene that I can only describe as transcending!

The wedding venue is phenomenal, the scene is set with this whole outdoor theme, a pond appears out of nowhere and the bride makes her way to the altar. Everyone is just gobsmacked. Do you know who the true magician behind this scene is? The director of photography. Think about it. The only way I can describe the scene to you is because someone shot it. That’s how important a photographer is.

The Wedding Photographer

Let me paint you a picture. It’s a beautiful beach wedding. Everyone is dressed in flowy attire, the sun is about to set, it’s like paradise on earth. The nervous groom is standing at the altar, with a bright smile waiting for his bride. The bride enters. Her eyes are focused on her gown, making sure she doesn’t trip over her dress. The groom sheds a tear. The bride missed it. Devastating right? She missed one of the purest moments of her life. If only she could go back in time and relive that moment. This is why you need a wedding photographer.
