Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Namaste Chandrashekhar, Thank you for your message. I will have to re-read this and form my own humble conclusions eventually about internal or anatomical structures, locules, etc. Will post here after experimenting with a few things, and only if there are successful results. An Oval One Mukhi, this is fascinating. Thanks for your kind offer to send it for my examination. How much is this particular bead in US dollars? Its been a long time since I journeyed in Mother India so my brain can't translate rupees very well sometimes. Shall think about it and see..... If you send to me, then I will have to buy it from you because I would only test by cutting it open. While most people do not want to keep cut-open beads, I believe the Shakti still exists in rudraksha even after they're cut. Shall also check with other verification places to see if they will test without cutting open. If they can do this, then you can send them the bead. After that, they can return it to you safely. Please read my sentences slowly in previous messages. I didn't talk about mukhis from 3 faces upwards being fakes. Nor did I criticise about fakes. Was just putting info up for discussion, hoping that someone can point the light towards me if I'm wrong in my studies. Pretty sure I said along the lines of "from 12 mukhi upwards, duds are likely to be more abundant". I didn't say Oval shapes are not available, though I mentioned "One Mukhi Round" is virtually extinct. Thanking yourself too, with good wishes.

I have in my collection all the above three genuine types. External characters as far as no. of clefts are concerned are definitely 1, 2 and 3 clefts, and not by sealing 2 clefts living only one cleft in case of one mukhi. I have critically observed this under a high resolution microscope and also by boling in water, oil and by treating with nitrous oxide. If you want I am ready to send 1 mukhi oval bead to you for its examination. I have also studied internal anatomical structures of all the above three types of the beads. Surprisingly, it is same for 1, 2 and 3 mukhi beads. Only one developed locule with a well developed seed was observed in all the above beads. Two locules were in the rudimentory stage. I also checked botanical description for this. It is mentioned that in case of ovary having less no. locules, rudimentory locules is a rule in case of few species. I also > checked the internal structures of a nepal 3 mukhi bead, it shows 3 locules with 3 seeds inside it. I would like to know, in case of Indian beads (Haridwar oval beads from 1 to 3 mukhi) if its internal structure is same, whether there is any difference in its spiritual or medicinal characters ? As you know, cost of genuine Haridwar 1 mukhi varies from Rs. 2500/- to Rs. 5000/-, two mukhi of the similar type costs Rs. 200 and a three mukhi for Rs. 100/-. One mukhi authentic oval beads are definitely available and there is no point in always critising that it is a necessarily fake bead from 3 mukhi. I am ready to send you the sample if you want. > > Thanking you and with best wishes. > > Chandrashekhar Phadke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
