Mantra Sadhana & Benefits
Mother Divine (Sri Mata) ear pendants are represented by the sun and the moon, symbolizing that these celestial bodies are so responsive to her will that they transform into her ear ornaments. This imagery illustrates the extent of her influence and control over these powerful cosmic entities
Surya and Chandra symbolize the power of sight within us. For visualization, the mind is essential, symbolized by Chandra. Just as the Sun, or Surya, is the vital force for all planets in the universe, She is the life force within all beings. Internally, She performs “Devakārya-samudyatā,” answering the prayers of the devas. These devas represent our sensory organs, the neurological network, muscles, and tissues in our body. Without this life force, the body becomes inert and lifeless. Surya and Chandra serve as observers of creation, and within us, they witness our thoughts and actions, conveying this information to Her, symbolized by her earrings.
The Nama “One whose earrings are the sun and moon” signifies the profound connection between primordial sound energy, music, and the ability to access higher dimensions and the three modes of activity (TriGunas), represented by the sun, moon, and fire. Hindu literature extensively discusses music’s significance. In the Sangita Damodara, it is recounted that when Parvathi Devi requested Lord Shiva to provide humanity with an easy and enjoyable path to self-realization, He disclosed the intricacies and subtleties of music. Furthermore, in the Thevaaram, the earliest description of Lord Shiva is “Thodudaiya Seviyan,” which refers to His ears and, by extension, to music. To this day, music remains a potent and universally enjoyed art form, known for its therapeutic benefits and minimal side effects.
Vedic Mantra Wisdom:
Ear piercing is believed to augment vac Shakti. This is why during the janevu/ upanayanam/ yagyopavita ceremony, a boy’s ears are pierced to facilitate his learning of the Vedas. Similarly, in acupuncture and acupressure, applying pressure and gently massaging the earlobes can boost memory and alleviate stress and tension. The earlobes, rich in sensitive nerve endings, when massaged, activate the energy channels throughout the body.
