Rudraksha and its purity.

[Guest guest]

Sh. Prasad,

 

It is true that Ekmukhi Rudraksha is a rare item. Revered persons

like Sh. Arjun Pandit may give more clarity on this subject.

 

There are a few known tests as far as the purity of Rudraksha is

concerned. The following were learnt from a sadhu Maharaj, when I

visited the temple of "Kaamakhya" in Guahati, Assam.

 

*** Rudraksha when soaked in milk overnight should not bulge or

increase in volume. (If it is a fake one made of wood it bulges

or sizable increase in volume is perceivable)

 

*** When Rudraksha is placed on a copper coin and touched its top

slightly with another copper coin, it starts rotating in

clockwise direction for one time.

 

Through this mail I request the learned Scholar sh. Arjun Pandit to

provde lucidity on the subject.

 

Aum Namah Shivaya.

Honestly speaking, the round ek mukhi rudraksh was never seen by me nor i wish i

would be so blessed by the god even to have a glimpse of it. several companies

are selling round ek mukhi rudraksh upwards of Rs.5,000 along with guarantee

cards, but since no one has seen the original, no one can prove it false. only

god knows on that but i neither criticise them nor recommend them. so let us

not crave for that round ek mukhi rudraksh.

 

the half moon ek mukhi rudraksh (kaaju type) has been used by me personally and

have also observed with several others to whom i have given this and all of

them concluded that this increases spirituality in the wearer and they become

peaceful and saativc natured persons. i have neither seen nor guarantee any

material benefits out of wearing it. however, i find no mention of two

different types of (kaaju type and round type) in the scriptures but still this

kaaju type is provind wonderful for a person to become saatvik and reach closer

to god.

 

if a person indulges in bad deeds and has bad habits or for women who feel

uncomfortable in displaying it in their neck or for any other reasons, the best

way to get the desired benefit of this kaaju type ek mukhi rudraksh is to

worship it by placing it in your pooja place.

 

This kaaju type ek mukhi rudraksh is available in retail (after energizing)

upwards of Rs.1,000 and an unenergised one in wholesale market in higher

reaches of the himalayas at around Rs.500. this rudraksh is made to be worn

with a silver or gold pendant and the retail charges are high because of these

costs as well as for energisation. even if a person buys this in retail at a

very high price also, he or she shall not lament because, a holy object like

rudraksh is priceless. for example, saaligrams from nepal are not supposed to

be sold as in one puran it is mentioned as a sin. still the most sought after

lakshmi, narasimha and srichakra type saaligrams are sold at a very high

premium because of their rarity and the material benefits they bless to the

worshipper. i too deal in offering these rare holy objects and charge a

premium but feel no sin because it is only compensating my efforts in locating

the best natural sources and making

available these rare things and i too have paid premiums for getting them.

 

the tests for knowing whether a rudraksh is pure or not are as follows:

1. it shall sink in the water and not float, it is floats it is a wooden one

2. no marks, signs, shapes or letters inscribed on rudraksh, if so they are fake

3. if you put a rudraksh in boiled water for few hours, original would remain intact

4. even a original rudraksh sometimes gets insects and becomes lightweight which

shall not be worn or worshipped

5. if the edges of the rudraksh or cut while makeing a hole, it shall not used.

in other words it should be free from any deformity.

6. if put between two copper coins and pressed, the original revoles. dont

expect any swirl movement, even if it revoles once, it is good.

7. any rudraksh before energising is just an ordinary bead, but when you buy a

rudraksh from the retail showroom, it must be energised and when you hold that

in your hand grip and feel it for few minutes, you would feeal an energy flow,

if it is energised. otherwise, you can conclude that the rudraksh has not been

energised even though it is origianl. you can do your own energisation also.

hope the above clarifies.
