Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Namaskar Rajinder, Excellent response, thank you! You have read simone's mind without even meeting her. She will be nodding her head until it drops off when she reads your message! What you have expressed in your message is highly helpful for dispersing misunderstandings from friends who have not read the appropriate Holy Scriptures that make mention of Rudraksha. Please continue to confer upon us your wisdoms as had Sri DDji, Chandi and other friends.
