Sacred Symbolism

It's no secret the Eye holds many mysteries, and its symbolism and reference can be found in various mythological tales through the ages... While the role it plays differs according to tradition, the sanctity of the Eye is a common thread.

In Hindu mythology, the goddess Lalitas' eyes are compared to the water-born Lotus. The Lalita Sahasranamam tells how The creation and dissolution of the universe happens at the wink of Her eyes. 

When She opens Her eyes, universe is created and when She closes Her eyes, universe is dissolved.
