Many questions about Rudraksha Life

March 26, 2003

Hi Ryan:

Congratulations on becoming a distributor !!

Actually I haven't had any problems with people touching my malas.

They are suppose to make contact with the skin and are under clothing.

Maybe it has to do with all the years I lived in New York City, an inborn

sense of protecting territory is developed quite readily :-) ...(or else its

my connection with Goddess Durga)

What you might want to do is get a simple mala to be your sample mala :-)

Acquire a nice punch mukhi mala for people to touch or one of those nice

large 5 mukhi.. simply bless it and oil it after its done its job. A large 5

mukhi can be put in a small pouch and easily slipped into a pocket if this is

happening when you are not home..

I have discovered something very interesting about the whole syndrome of

feeling you are on a "mission from God" in talking about the rudraksha....

If someone you know or meet is connected to the rudraksha you can't stop

talking about them.

If they don't have the contact, there is this huge effort to say anything. It

is truly amazing. You talking about them is simply furthering the process of

waking up some subtle memory within the person of the rudraksha.

It has been quite astounding for me to watch this.

My closests friends all have purchased rudraksha and have a huge bond.

Others, people who I knew in my former line of work just don't "get it".

I have a customer who is a Practioner of Tibetan Buddhist Dharma who has

consistantly asked me for recommendations for family members and then has me

make wrist malas for them..these aren't little dainty pieces..these have lots

of big

beads on them...men as well as women. One is a fireman. They all love the

rudraksha...so apparent that there is this past life bond with this family.

So please, don't stifle yourself. As Babaji said, follow your heart and

follow your own connection with the rudraksha you'll be led to the people

that are suppose to know about the beads and when you are around people who

aren't, it will be as if your own mala is invisible.

Have fun !

The rudraksha have very powerful electromagnetic properties to them that

causese them to bond with the person wearing them. We carry their essence and

they carry ours.

One would not want to be walking around "with others' sins" :-)

Have found even with people who have healing energy in their hands is not a

good idea to have them touch beads because their energy will then be a part

of the energy of the rudraksha,,simply creates an energetic obstacle to the

intention of the flow between one person and one bead or mala.

Dear Dharma Devaji:

That is a perfect idea you have with placing the gems on the rudraksha or

around the rudraksha.

Have found with the Divinity Collection the gems and the rudraksha support

and amplify each other.

In the example you mention, Rudra Center sells the Vedic gems at a very

reasonable price. Purchasing a ruby to use in that manner would not be

expensive at all.

I used garnet as a substitute on Lord Surya mala.

Have recently found a reasonable source for ruby beads.

Have also noticed that the rudraksha seem to have nice time living with all

sorts of gems. Have many with quatz crystal and rose quartz and they are

readibly available

in all price ranges.

No one should touch your beads - but they do!!! their hands reach

out and touch them before you known what is happening - By the time

your mind is ready to say don't touch them please, they have been

touched - This is life in full bloom - If it is stated that

something should not happen - it will happen - So the trick is to

deal with it with the least amount of stress to the other person and

to yourself - People are drawn to touch them and there is no way

around it

As for the cracks - I remember several of my beloved beads loosing

minor parts of themselves and my mind screaming "Oh god no not my

bead" - every time I touch these beads my mind plays out the

horrible event in vivid detail (LOL)- my fingers touch the spots of

this great tragidy - the mind is such a piece of crap - it will

drive you crazy - there is no end to it's treachery - the problem is

with the mind not the beads - the mind is your creation - you are no

it's creation - do not listen to it - listen to your heart of

hearts, your inner most self and all will go well

Love baba

Dear Ryanji

Namaskar and thanks for shareing your experiences with all of us

The Holy Rudraksa are sometimes passed from generation to generation in India so

takeing this as a prime example if the Beads are kept oiled they will last as

long as they are cared for

Keep different Malas here for different types of wearing

Have Malas for wearing in public on the outside of clothes and people react to

these Malas so they are kept for this purpose. Easiest way found to balance the

Rudraksa after public wearing is to sit with them through one round of the

Rudraksa Pujan and Dharan CD. Then can also learn to chant the Rudraksa Pujan

and Dharan makeing it a lot easier to perform this Blessing anywhere

Personal Malas worn on the skin under the clotheing normally stay out of sight

and the touch of others

Personal Japa Malas are also kept privately

Had a discussion with a Friend the other day that gave the idea of placeing

small Vedic Gems on the surface of the Holy Rudraksa and was wondering if anyone

else had heard of this idea

For example 12 Mukhi Surya Rudraksa is the center of Brilliancy, Lustre,

Radiance and Strength of the Sun.......and the Gemstone Ruby represents the Sun

Simply visualizeing the placement of many tiny rubies on the surface of a 12

Mukhi Rudraksa presents a most beautiful picture. Is a gift simply to visualize

this

Many questions about Rudraksha Life

Dear Friends:

I have many questions.

Since I've begun wearing Rudraksha I am enamored with their

beneficial influences. So enamored I became a distributor in my

community. When people see my Rudraksha they want to touch it and

ask me about it.

Is it ok to let them touch it?

Once they ask me about it, I go on and on about the wonders of the

bead and feel like a rudraksha missionary. This feels somewhat

counter to the idea of letting the beads find their home in people's

hearts on their own. Does anyone else get over zealous after finding

someone interested in the beads, or is it just me?

Back to the cracks in beads. When I first got them I was a little

concerned about seeing cracks around the mouths of the beads. When I

read something that said, "There should be no cracks in the beads,

especially around the mouth" I took it very seriously. Now I

understand that they are natural and not harming any effects of the

beads on my being. My last question on the cracks...has anyone had

any experiences where the beads just fell apart off the mala? I read

that well taken care of these beads can last a thousand years or so.

I wish to take good care of my beads. Cracks are fine, but I've not

had a long experience with the beads to know if cracks frequently

develop through the beads enough to cause them to break. What is the

average life of beads in your experiences?

Thanks for your input.

If someone else is touchin them Why should he also

Not be purifed from sins ?

Let doctors have an Rudraksha mala for every sick (maybe the are

afraid of that)

" Rudraksa is a favourite bead of Siva.It is highly sanctifying.It

removes all sins by sight , contact and japas " - Siva Purana

" A man seeing or touching it would be purified from sins " - Padma

Purana

I saw a set of rudraksha which belonged to a Buddhist friend which were maybe

five hundred years old and looked like black petrified rock. They had turned to

stone over half a thousand years of wearing and being passed down.

Re: Many questions about Rudraksha Life

Dear Ryanji
