Women are now getting more and more interested in spiritual tibetan bracelets, men too are not far behind. The spiritual jewelry has enthralled people in all age groups. The concept of spiritual jewelry gets people closer to the spiritual side of the mind. It is now an international concept which gets people see the spiritual side too. This is one of most sought after jewelry today. The various styles and the different designs portray the different religions through the jewelry and have been molding and blooming as per required in the changing times.
Let us take a look at the types of spiritual jewelry. There are various kinds of jewelry pieces available in the market. So while jewelry shopping look out things that are of interest to you like the bangles, bracelets, pendants, chains and rings. The designs and the finish are commonly based on the prominent religious deities, and the fluid form of many Indian Gods and age old holy pictures. They are also inspired by symbols and signs from various religious scripts and holy text. The OM, Swastika, Cross etc are popular symbols used in the designs of spiritual jewelry. But the most popular of them all is the OM based jewelry that is being liked and accepted worldwide.
From an entirely different perspective, Rangoli designs can be seen as a form of mandalas. Mandalas are a sacred, archetypal symbol sometimes used as objects of contemplation in esoteric meditation practice. The basic idea is that zig-zags, circles, triangle or any shape are believed to have a certain effect on consciousness. Among the most elaborate mandalas are drawn by Tibetans, some of which have knot work motifs; particularly, the endless knot which is a well known Buddhist symbol representing eternality. Tibetans spend days creating detailed mandalas in sand before ceremonially wiping the image out.
Though the act of creating these patterns in ritualistic and domestic settings are layered with meanings rooted deeply in these cultures, it is safe to say that Rangoli teaches about reverence and the transience in our human experience. The beauty of the moment, the sunrise and the day, comes and it goes. By the end of the day, the Rangoli I would pass in the morning would be a faded shadow of its former glory.
As someone who is fascinated by the symbolic meaning of Celtic design, my visit to India helped me to see how universal knot work design is. For me, seeing the art drawn on the street was a fascinating and delightful experience which enabled me to gain a deeper appreciation of a fascinating culture.
