Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 While partially reading the Guru Charithram of “ DATTA Guru” I happened to read the 31St Chapter- page 151 of this book that talks of “ RUDRAKSHA MAHATMEYAM “ Sri Mukam to this book has been given by Mahaswamy , published in the year 1953. Excerpts -- from its Contents. The discussions go in the form of a dialogue between the guru and sishaya. The Pathivrtha devotee questions the Guru – yesterday when I was very sad a Yeti happened to come to my house and gave me 4 Rudrakshas and asked me to wear two for the ears and two over the neck. Can you Pl reveal the powers of Rudraksha requests the lady to the Guru Sri Narashimha Saraswathi. ( This CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS NO BAR FOR WOMAN TO WEAR ‘R’ ) The Guru smiles and informs that it was He - who appeared as yeti yesterday and lectures on R as under. R worn knowingly or unknowingly prevents any commitment of sins. All Varnas Can wear R and there is No bar to it. The devas worship as Rudra , the one who wears R as a garland with1000 R (S) beads. You can wear 16 tied to each Bhujas, one in Shika, twenty four in the hands, thirty two in the neck, twenty four in the masthaka, twelve on the ears or one hundred eight on your neck when one becomes the Rudra Putra. The R studded with gold, silver, or combined and studded with pearls,spatika or other precious stones bring additional benefits. A devotee who does Japa, Meditation and other Anushtanams wearing R is immensely blessed. A person wastes his birth if he does not wear R and Tripunda ( holy ashes ) A person wearing either R mala or who keeps it on his head and takes a bath gets the benefit of Ganga Snana. When Abhisheka is done to R with Sri Rudram it is equivalent that of a Linga Puja. R is capable of bestowing the four pursharthas. The chapter further describes the details of the story as told by the Sage Parasara to the king Bhadra Sena of Kashmir . The story is very detailed but briefly it is about a rich prostitute wearing a Rudraksha Mala sacredly, considers herself as always Chaste in spite of the society rebuking her. It culminates in lord Parameshwara himself coming as Vysya (a client ) with a Shiva linga and in consideration of giving that Shivalinga to her, she consents to be a faithful wife of Vysya for three days. On the third day the entire palace with shivalinga gets burnt. Witnessing this incident in horror, the Vysya jumps into the fire. Immediately the unchaste woman also jumps on to fire proving her thought of being a Pathivratha or chaste woman. Then Lord Shiva appears with Uma to give her Mokasha.
