If beads are inherited, then what about the precaution > about not sharing personalized beads?? ^^^^^^^^^^ Sy: In the case of the family I mentioned, the beads are lovingly installed on the altar, revered and worshipped by the nephew. As for others generally, it is up to the individual to determine whether they consent to their beads being touched or used for prolong periods by others. When one bequeaths personalized malas or beads, one is already detached. The fitting person one bequeaths to, either learns detachment or picks up the vibrations of the previous owner, depending on karma and how sensitive, and the level of evolvement the beneficiary is at. ^^^^^^^^^^^ > > More importantly, do we find specific references of information about these related subject matters in the Rudraksha sections of the vedic shastra? ^^^^^^^^^^ Sy: Cackles......! Oleji bless you, but I really can't recall Vedic Shastras, Samhitas, Puranas, SrimadDeviBhagavatam, RudrakshaJapalopanishad, etc. etc. and sometimes I get the spelling wrong too. It is like trying to remember all 4 Vedas, all information contained in the Natha Granthas and every scripture from zillions of births ago. As it is, I can't even remember what books I studied from kindergarten upwards. But I learn most from the "University of Life and People" in this birth. As a mere mortal, my brain power is therefore very limited so you must pardon me. You kindly mentioned the SrimadDeviBhagavatam, can you remember the Skanda or Chapter? I'm curious to look into it also, thanks.
