To Henny on threads and an aside on Swamiji and the Rudrakshas

[Guest guest]

do you keep the thread on after reciting? (I think I'll stick to just

reciting for now, but out of curiosity I would like to know if there

are people with a whole collection of threads round their wrists..)

Lieve Hennyji,The only time I get a thread tied is during the pujas at

Shivaratri at the temple and then I wait for them to fall off. However

your imagery sounds fun - having a collection of threads around one's

wrists :-)

Oh , as an aside - once Swamiji was sharing with us the significance

behind the rudrakshas that he wore on his body. He started with

explaining the band on his arm, went on to the main five around his

neck, and then took out another string of rudrakshas from under his

shirt, and yet another and another ... we couldnt stop giggling, but

admired that there was so much significance to everything he did and

wore . Your image of someone walking around with all the threads

evoked a smile just like Swamiji producing all those rudraksh malas

from underneath his shirt.
