Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Namaste Raja, Wonderful to hear of your experience within 1 hour of your 12 mukhi bracelet arriving and your holding and beholding it!! Rudraksha, being Lord Shiva's Tears shed to save mankind, indeed brings His Divine Presence especially when you've just obtained your own very first beads and not having prayed daily to Him before. Therefore its not unusual that the mantra that came to your mind was Om Namah Shivaya and subsequently reciting the Maharityunjaya Mantra with bhakti thus feeling it has become more powerful. As mentioned before many times in this forum, rudraksha has the ability to guide us towards higher spiritual states and aspirations. Such examples are that God is everywhere, that they are also always near us, that we should pray to God and hold God dear to us. The rest just follows and destiny also follows or makes progress. Rudraksha also has a kind of 'communication' to the human subconscious that is far more subtle than any other type of holy beads. Its great that you've now witnessed for yourself how rudraksha works on an individual basis. The effects of the same beads may be different or vary from person to person but I'm glad you're experiencing what you have. There have been many testimonials from devotees about rudraksha being protective and been of comfort to them. Now its superb to hear this from you too Raja. Its definitely not an illusion. As time goes, you will find that further benefits will emerge. But remember to recite Om Namah Shivaya at least 3 or 9 times before taking off or putting on your bracelet. The beads may look 'plastic' due to the perfumed oils when stringing and then during the Puja process. In time, the oil will wear off. Then its important to re-oil with your favorite essential oil mixed with a carrier oil such as cold-pressed almond, jojoba, etc that can be found in health food stores. Otherwise, use Mysore Sandalwood oil from Rudra Centre and mix it with carrier oils too. Every 3 months or so, maybe less whenever they look dry, they can be washed with gentle soapy water and left to dry thoroughly for some days before oiling and offering puja.
