$\"shilpa2shetty.jpg\"$ <\/a>Mangalsutra has been the mark of a married women in India for centuries now. Quite like a ring is in the Western men and women in the West. It is made in a certain way. It is usually a gold pendant strung from a yellow thread prepared with turmeric, a string of black beads or simply a gold chain.<\/p>\n

Now Shilpa has given a new style to it by wearing it as a bracelet. As expected, many conservative Hindus are not very happy with it. While the women who want to look cool are intrigued by this new way and look.<\/p>\n

Although it is done as a ritual without much thought, I feel if at all the origin of this practice must lie in some yogic \u201cwisdom\u201d of how such a thing helps in managing the energy of a woman to help her live her life. Now, maybe the woman of today does not need that help. But I know the significance of certain jewellery worn on certain parts of the body can have a good or bad effect on how the energies work for that person. There are times when a person feels low, some things help him\/her\u2026 such ritualistic practices are very similar.. they tend to help people use what is available to live happily.<\/p>\n

So her action is not good or bad for the society or Hinduism on the whole.. but for her own well being.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
