Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Namaste Jacquie, Congratulations about your rudraksha mala. As you mention it is long, then I assume it is a mala. I'm still pretty much a layman but would think the size of the individual beads actually determines the length of the mala. So if you ordered a mala of 10mm (circumference) beads, then yes it is longer than say 7mm beads. The lotus seed mala is even much longer as they are huge beads. Sandalwood paste is mainly for puja offering. Samdalwood oil is for oiling the beads. The paste can be obtained from Indian or Asian grocery stores. Sandalwood oil is available from metaphysical shops, health food stores and aromatherapy shops. Rudra Centre has "Mysore Sandalwood oil". It is beautiful. Btw, if you are in the U.S.A., maybe you could post your city location here and someone may be able to tell you where to obtain the paste and the oil. Many blessings, Sy , jacquiec111@a... wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I just received my rudraksha beads today from the Rudra Center. Can someone > tell me how I can obtain sandalwood paste?
