🌻. The Birth of Rudra 🌻

In the Bhagavata Purana, there is a story of Brahma, the Creator. When he started to create, first the four Kumaras, the eternal youth, came out. 

When he ordered them to create, to his surprise they refused to do so, because they knew that they had another task to do. 

Brahma got angry and started to roar. From out of his brow centre, Rudra came out with red and blue light, the first and second cosmic ray. 

That means, from out of the darkness of the background, the first manifestation comes out as vibration.

The colour of Rudra is brilliant red. The Will of Rudra can be invoked by contemplating the red colour. 

However, only advanced students can work with red to construct and to destroy. Others are advised to work with orange, a variation of red, to dissolve blockages. 

Tender persons like children are advised to contemplate upon the rose colour. Even the day starts with red at the eastern horizon and concludes with red at the western horizon. 

The copper colour of the sky in the morning and the evening hours is also worshipped as the two eyes of Rudra.
