RE: [Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru] 14 mukhi Rudraksh and Meru Bead

[Guest guest]

Just a quick note of caution here......

 

Generally the mala that one uses for Japa should not be the one that

someone wears around their neck. The two have a different purposes and

it is advisable that the two ought to be kept mutually exclusive.

 

Kind regards

Dear Mohanji,

 

You may make a seperate Ekamukhi rudrakaha chain and wear it. Need

not combine it with 14 mukhi one as advised by PradeepJI.

 

Yours yogically,

 

Shreeram
