Know how to live in harmony with nature and oneself using elements that do not harm the body The story about the Henna packaging - In India, Vishwamitra is well known as a king that ultimately became a great sage through many years of penance and meditation. Surya's label depicts the beautiful Manika in the arms of Vishwamitra. According to legend, the god Indra, feeling threatened by Vishwamitra's spiritual zeal and concentration, decided to tempt Vishwamitra so he would ultimately forget about his spiritual practice. He sent Vishwametra a series of tests: threatening weather, tempting women and so on and so forth. Vishwametra never opened his eyes from meditation. Indra then sent Manika, a beautiful dancer of paradise who descended from heaven. Manika was not only beautiful but wise and spiritually advanced. Vishwametra did open his eyes when he beheld Manika, but not to the end that Indra had hoped. The two beheld one another in love, were married and continued their spiritual path in union. They bore a daughter and built together an empire. Vishwametra's story is about strength and endurance and devotion.
