Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Namaste. Perhaps it would be wise for all of us to look at this from a different perspective and use as our foundation the Teachings of Lord Shiva and the Vedas. Two things need to be considered... The first being that everything I have ever read on the rudrakshas state that there is a period of assimulation of 40 - 90 days that is necessary for a person to integrate the energies of the beads and to process their own changes. Anything that occurs within the first 3 months of wearing any mukhi for the first time is part of this process of change and is not the end result, the final fruit to be harvested. Secondly, and even more importantly all the Scriptures teach us that Lord Shiva is Consciousness Itself. He dwells within each of us. He is not separate from our own mind. All spiritual practices and the nature of the rudrakshas are to lead us to that reality, that Oneness. Mr. Kirk has touched on this in a couple of his posts. What I am suggesting here is that what Aashaji is experiencing is the beginning of her journey to realization of the Inner Guru, of Inner Wisdom. The combination of rudraksha mukhi's 4 and 6 are the signature of Shri Saraswati and lead to the vastness of consciouness that is within our own being as well as the removal of pain and suffering..of all stress and personal concerns. The inner guidance to enter into the practice of repeating the Maha Mantra of Om Namah Shivaya is to enter into the Consciousness of Lord Shiva Himself and is truly a gift The expereicne at the Library demonstates Aashaji's own intellect being enlightened in her studies. I know from past experience not to trust any intuition or psychic impression that has too much of my own attachment; is too emotionally charged because it is very dificult to receive in a pure detached manner. I also know it is foolhardy to rely on predictions that may arise in one's own intuition pertaining to specific dates as there are too many variables that can effect this sort of thing such as karma, the r elease of karma and individual free will. I have also learned in my own journey that it is necessary for us to rise above siddhis or intuitive gifts and that is why I am no longer doing the work I had been doing. The feedback I offer is still the same..enter into the reality of the mantra ...but stay with that practice for 40 - 90 days and see the rest as part of the process. Can remember yoga teachers telling me not to go around being "half baked" assuming you have proper understanding when in reality you are in the middle of a process. I have to remember that it can take a life time to be fully baked :-) I thought it was worth looking at this another way.
