Ancient henna wooing Hollywood celebrities

Washington, May 2 (ANI): Henna, which has been playing a vital role in Hindu weddings since ancient times, is becoming popular with Hollywood and other celebrities.

Also known as mehndi, it is turning into an in-thing with celebrities as a trendy alternative to traditional tattoos. Although the final result is similar to tattoo, but the mehndi experience is delightful and painless, and the images are temporary, according to acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed.

Starting with actress Demi Moore and singer Gwen Stefani, many celebrities have been seen sporting this body art, including entertainer Madonna; actresses Drew Barrymore, Daryl Hannah, Angela Bassett, Laura Dern, Kathleen Robertson, Mira Sorvino, Naomi Campbell, Trudie Styler, Nicole Eggert, Justine Bateman, Yasmine Bleeth, Liv Tyler, and Barbara Hershey; musicians The Artist Formerly Known as Prince and Sting; singers Mayte Garcia and Erykah Badu; actors Elijah Wood and Laurence Fishburne; boxers Kassim Ouma, Michael Katsidis, and Bernard Hopkins; model Nell McAndrew.

Associated with joy, celebration, festivals, and weddings, it has a recent renaissance in Hollywood.

Some popular magazines and CD covers had been decorated with henna art, besides it being seen in some Hollywood movies.

Many henna themed parties involving celebrities, including birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, nightclub events, are sometimes held in Hollywood.

Henna has reportedly been used for body art and hair dye since Bronze Age.

It finds references in India’s court records dating back to around 400 CE, in Rome during Roman Empire, in Spain during Convivienca, in medical texts of Ebers Papyrus, in Syria and Egypt in 14th century CE.

Henna as a ceremonial art form is said to have originated in ancient India. It can last anywhere from few days to few months depending on the type of the paste.

Mehndi plays a vital role in Hindu wedding and practically no marriage is considered complete without it. During earlier times, some bridal mehndi processes took four to five days to complete. It is also applied during various Hindu fasts like Karvachauth.

Rajan Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged the henna loving celebrities to explore some rich philosophical thought of Hinduism, which is oldest religion of the world with moksha (liberation) as ultimate goal. (ANI)

Hindus in US admire Julia Roberts for sporting bindi during Taj Mahal visit

Washington, Jan 26 (ANI): Julia Roberts is being praised by America’s leading Hindus for showing them respect by sporting the traditional ‘bindi’ on her recent trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra.

The ‘Pretty Woman’ star and her husband Danny Moder were spotted visiting the tourist attraction last week.

Roberts was photographed sporting a bindi mark on her forehead at the time.

“Julia Roberts honoured the traditions of India by sporting a bindi on her forehead during her recent trip to India, and we are very happy she did. It was a mark of respect that has not gone unnoticed,” Contactmusic quoted Nevada-based Hindu statesman Rajan Zed as saying.

“I would personally like to extend an invitation to Ms. Roberts and her family to visit with me if the trip to India has sparked an interest in Hinduism, and other Hindu leaders here in America would be glad to share their knowledge,” he added.

However, Roberts isn’t the first non-Hindu Hollywood celebrity to wear a bindi in public.

Stars including Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Shakira, Nelly Furtado and Britney Spears have also turned the religious sign into a fashion statement in the past.

Zed, the President of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said that he had been aware of Roberts’ interest in Hinduism for years.

He said: “She has a production company called Red Om Films, and Om in Hinduism is the mystical syllable containing the universe, which is used to introduce and conclude religious work.”

He has even urged other top stars to follow Roberts’ example, and show the Hindu faith more respect on TV, film and in music videos. (ANI)
