Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Namaste Friends, By the way, an interesting incident occured recently at Rudra Centre India when a couple visited. They'd bought 2 beads of "One Mukhi Round" from the Chinmaya Ashram in Mumbai for Rs.8000 each bead. The beads were of Indonesian origin, about 10mm with one visible line on the exterior. When one of the beads was cut transversally, there was a beautiful arrangement of 5 seeds inside. This confirmed the beads to be 5 mukhi "tarted up" to pose as One mukhi Round. Lines on Indonesian beads are quite faint and they are quite easy to tamper with, to make them invisible. Several other Indonesian beads were then cut to see if they would show any difference. It was discovered that even if the exterior surface doesn't show clear mukhis, the interior shows it very clearly. The couple rushed back to Chinmaya Mission to ask for refund but were turned down. They were told there is no proof that One mukhi needs to have one seed only. Om Namah Shivaya Sy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
