कृपाकटाक्षधोरणी निरुद्धदुर्धरापदि क्वचिद्विगम्बरे मनोविनोदमेतु वस्तुनि ॥३॥

Rudraksha...

The meaning of the word "Rudraksha" is the eyes of Rudra (Shiva) and his tears (Aksha).

According to a Hindu religious text there was a Demon known as Tripurasura who had divine energy and power. Due to these unnatural energies, he became proud and started to trouble deities and sages. On seeing his immoral actions, the gods prayed to Lord Shiva to kill Tripurasura. Lord Shiva closed his eyes and meditated for over 1000 years to acquire a powerful weapon- Agora, to kill the demon. After acquiring the weapon, he killed Tripurasura and after the victory, tears fell from his eyes on the earth. Wherever his tears fell, the Rudraksha tree grew. Hence, the power of his tears is what resonates divinity in the beads.

Bel - patra : Bel-patra offering signifies the surrender of all three aspects of one's nature—tamas, rajas, and sattva. You have to surrender the positives and negatives of your life to Lord Shiva and become free.

Dhatura: Datura is poisonous and bitter. Datura fruit or flower is offered to the Lord symbolizes that we are surrendering and getting rid of all our bitterness, negativities, and toxicity like hate, jealousy, and anger. This makes you pure and free from all sins.

Bhang: the story of Bhaang is associated to the 'Samudra Manthan', where in the sea was churned to obtain the drink of immortality known as Amrita. However, during the process of manthan a poison Halahala came out, which had immense heat and the potential to destroy the entire universe. In order to save the creation Lord Shiva drank the poison, which is why he is also known as Neekanth. He kept the poison in his throat, which turned his throat blue and generated a lot of heat inside. It is believed that right after drinking the poison Shiva turned restless and Gods and Goddess tried to calm him down. It is believed that to calm down Lord Shiva, Chandra dev the moon God stayed in Lord Shiva's hair (Jata), it is believed that post consuming Halahala Lord Shiva returned to Kailasha to lower his body's temperature and popular beliefs also claim that he was given Bhaang which was a coolant to reduce the heat caused due to consumption of vish(poison).

Chandan : Chandan Tilak is applied in between two eyebrows. According to yoga science, the human body has 7 chakras. 'Agna' Chakra is placed in between two eyebrows; called the third eye. The third eye has immense & spiritual power. This is the reason for applying tilak or bindi on the forehead.

Supari: The Supari (Betel nut) symbolizes the nut of the ego that must be offered at the altar of the God. It represents the harsh qualities that must be surrendered to the Deity, leaving only the pure qualities.

Doodh (milk) : According to scriptures, it is believed that Lord Shiva performs 'tandava' on this auspicious night. It is believed that the dance depicts the cycle of the creation, and destruction of the universe. In order to calm him, he is offered soothing ingredients like milk and honey..

हरे गुरौ सुभक्तिमाशु याति नान्यथागतिं विमोहनं हि देहिनां सुशंकरस्य चिंतनम् ॥१६॥

Goddess Sati took birth as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan to marry Lord Shiva. She practised severe penance to win Lord Shiva's heart. After years of Tapasya at the Gauri Kund, Parvati succeeded in convincing Lord Shiva to accept her as his wife. According to the legend, Shiva proposed to Parvati for marriage at a place known as Guptakashi and then tied the nuptial knot at Triyuginarayan, at the confluence of the Sone-Ganga and Mandakini rivers in the Rudraprayag district of UTTARAKHAND.

The celestial marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvati took place in the presence of Lord Brahma, who turned a priest to conduct the ceremony and Lord Vishnu, who performed the duties of the bride's brother. The sages and the locals witnessed the divine union.

And most importantly, the Agni that was Sakshi of the wedding ceremony, still exists today. The eternal flame is called Akhand Dhuni, where Akhand means endless and Dhuni means flame.
