Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Dear Sy, Thanks for letting me know. AS I was reading the recent thread, this became apparent. Very exciting! They should advertise something to that effect on the website--perhaps they do and I missed it. No intentions or ability to get more gems myself now, but as a geophile, the idea of navaratnas is dear to my rock-adoring heart. I am also glad that so many people are having luck with the lower quality bead malas. I was actually first introduced to Hinduism, the Vedas, etc. through researching gem remedials and was at first very put off by the non-egalitarian claims that you had to have the best gems and lesser or slightly flawed gems would hurt you. But how many can afford this? I even had one friend say that wealth and the ability to gain a quality remedial are effects of good karma, so inability to get help is just more karmic unfoldment (this person is very staunch in his belief that free will is next to nil; as in whose will is it that's free). While I am inclined to believe that the absolute best effects are delivered by the purest materials, I am happy to know that the less affluent do have hope of getting help and not harm from the mineral kingdom's more modest members. love, e , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Elizabeth, > > May I mention that Rudra Centre does incorporate flawless superior > gems appropriate to an individual's budget, small or big.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Dear Sy, Good morning to you from Sunny (today at least) Seattle. Why if your head were near me right now, I wouldn't give it a wack, I'd kiss it! I feel like a big fat balloon of joy reading your words of enthusiasm, love, good will, and faith. Consider yourself kissed on the head! love, elizabeth , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Elizabeth, > > Good morning to you from Australia and thanks for your message! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Dear Sy, Again, moved to tears of gratitude and thanks. Feeling so endlessly stupid and stuck, this big waaa ego rolling in muck thanks you for your beautiful vision. For my bit of Ma, if I were ever somehow compelled to whack you, it'd be with a big soft bouquet of multi-colored gerber daisies! kissing you again, much love, e , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Elizabeth, > > O Devi, here's serving up my humble head (my ego, my all…) on a > platter, packed in a box and ready for the first flight to Seattle > for your pleasure.
