Guru Rudraksha/ does it work?

November 10, 2003

Namaste Mahamuniji & friends,

Thank you for your nice message. May I share two cents' worth:

It was through SRDDAji that I came to the Rudra Centre Family.

Previously I had been to Nepal and India but never felt inclined to

get involved with the rudraksha industry. This was mainly because I

had not seen an ethical and quality supplier until SRDDAji guided me

to Rudra Centre. It was like Siva Himself calling :-) When I saw

the quality beads, something popped -- the lights were always on,

but there was someone "home" at last.

For any friends who doubt the efficacy of rudraksha:

-------------------

It is like a "living tradition", guru diksha, personal tramittion

from guru (rudraksha) to the chela (whether they're sadhak, servant

or student of rudraksha) and Rnanubandhana (past karmic ties, bonds,

debts, etc.). Without taking "Guru Rudraksha" on, how woud we know

if this 'guru rudraksha' is for real.

As with transmittion from flesh & blood gurus, it is direct

transmission and nothing or much is "written down" or recorded.

What most of us see in books about classical rituals for example,

are only about half or a bit more of the authentic info, not the

full works.

The full works can only result from the guidance of a "dispeller of

darkness" (whether a genuine real life preceptor or our own Inner

Guru for those who dare to will and try), coupled with personal

experience along the way. Experience and mistakes are also our

gurus, if we learn from them and then apply wisely.

It is said (in Scriptures) that the instinct to wear rudraksha

results from blessings of past lives. How they work on, or for each

of us, largely depends on Rnanubandhana, karmas of the past if you

like and rtam (cosmic time or heavenly movements are two ways to

describe this) fast, There is a time, a season and ryhme to

everything on this earth, in all Samskara.

For "Guru Rudraksha" and "Santana Dharma" firstly, then guru malas,

guru yantras, etc., they conquered the world without sending one

soldier across any border. They would not have survived in mankind

for millennia if they have no authenticity, efficacy, "user

friendly" and nurturing substance through the ages.

Of course every individual believes differently and I don't dispute

anyone's truths. Everyone is welcome to believe what they conceive

to be the Truth.

Not seeking to convert anyone to Guru Rudraksha :-) If destined,

Guru Rudraksha will come find us and decide whether to give us

diksha or live with us.

Om Namah Shivaya
