Dear Friend

 

There comes a time in each person lifetime............... where they progress

to a point where they are not required to fall to the feet of any

human.........seems this priest has recognized this process of Spiritual

Progress in your

life.........as we move to new Spiritual Levels these levels are confirmed in

our daily life by messages like this one from the priest......if we wish to

go forward we realign ouselves to the new methods offered to continue on our

new higher level of Spiritual Path and move on to new ways of becomeing one with

ourselves.........One with God........ instead of continueing to follow

methods of behaviour that are from the level we have just finished

 

hope this helps

 

Wishing you and Family the Best

Dear Friends,

 

Greetings of the season and best wishes to one and all for the New Year - 2005

that has just started off.

 

It has been my pleasure to read through all the views that have been expressed

over here on the Rudraksha Beads Societies group.

 

I have had the following doubt after I visited a Krishna Temple in Bangalore

sometime back.

 

As each of us know, its a practice amongst Hindus anywhere in India, to fall at

the feet of elders and pay our respect and reverence.

 

I was at the Krishna Temple at Malleswaram, in Bangalore on the occasion of

Vaikunta Ekadasi and the temple priest offered me prasadam and flowers from the

feet of the GOD. After taking aarathi and theeratha, I fell at the feet of the

priest and he told me not to as I had the 'prasadam' in my hands.

 

This made me wonder if a person who is wearing Rudrakshas should fall at the

feet of others elder or otherwise, in case they are not wearing them.

 

This is a thought that grazed my mind after that incident with the priest and I

thought I can exchange opinion with some of my friends.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Very cordially,
