Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Good to try and see, you just never know, they might grow even if you haven't faith. Its all Shiva's Will. Let it be so. Wait and see but get on with other things in your life. Wise not to hold your breath. Still, there is always a chance the seeds may give you a nice surprise. Speaking God's Names, whether its Namah Shivaaya or Om Narayana, etc.etc. is always auspicious and brings good vibrations to the speaker and those around them at any given time. Since they are sacred/mystical Sanskrit words, they are potently beneficial in subsconscious and subtle levels. Usually not noticeable by those who hardly do puja or sadhana nor have an affinity with spiritual pursuits. But they go a long way in terms of helping oneself, one's environment and others. Every nice, good or encouraging or spiritual wording helps. In this chaotic age of Kali Yuga, speaking the names of Gods or Goddesses sure helps diffuse a lot of negativity. But they must be said in all sincerity of the soul. {{{{{{{{ But not out of vanity and ego. Example: Someone in real life I heard about not so long ago:- This person loved showing off every new Sanskrit pronounciation learnt. Bored the shatz outta everyone. Punishing on their nerves and they hated it. Worst was the fact this person loved preening, showing off and boasting!!!!!!! This idiot would begin sentences sounding like a Swami with holy greetings. Others who are far more knowledgeable, especially initiated Swamis of traditional lineages and Pujaris at the temples this person frequented, totally found this person repulsive. They were too nice to tell this idiot exactly what they thought. But they avoid this person like the plague if they can help it. A few mentioned they can't stand hearing the person's voice, full stop. Somehow and ironically, from this person's lips, those words had the total opposite effect and smacked of Negativity!!!!!! Yuk, yuk.. }}}}}}}} Speaking of Oz, I know one sibling in God who said its no paradise in Oz and doesn't encourage anyone to go there. Best to aim for Shiva's palace in Mount Kailash. You are resourceful to string your rudraksha in different ways. Its a good vibrational therapy becos of electromagnetic properties. The more one handles or wears rudraksha, the more progress they make. That's time-proven over 5000 years. About strings or threads breaking on malas, they also serve as signposts - that something negative had been deflected or diffused and not come to pass in the owner's life. The beads absorb whatever malefic influences or harm, either break, crack or the strings/threads snap off. Definitely auspicious when this happens. Mostly rudrakshas are strung expertly and materials used, take a long time to wear out and tear. But if it happens in weeks or less upon wearing a newly strung mala, the rudraksha has done its work efficiently, or rather, Lord Shiva came to the rescue quickly. How fast or slow, depends on the person's past karmas. , j <barbjs wrote: > DEar Narasimhaye, > > I'll try planting some broken rudraksha beads; I don't have much faith though, as I have a hard time getting any seeds to grow properly even in new sterilized soil.

It seems as though every time we say this, we are taking another step along "the yellow brick road." We won't end up in Oz, of course, but we will end up in Lord Shiva's palace. Perhaps we can fall off the road, but we can get right back on it again. > > I threaded more rudraksha today. I think that the nice thing about the string or wire breaking is that we get to thread the beads in a different way. > > Wishing all of you the best, > > Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
