Many questions about Rudraksha Life

[Guest guest]

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.
