Hello,

These carved rudraksha, fake gauri-shankar, fake trijurtis, fake rudraksha
as big as table tennis ball are commonly sold in holy places in India. I
have myself seen these things in Tirupathi and other places, sold for just
not more than Rs.200/-.


With Warm Regards,
Satish

Dear Respected Kariji

At the yoga expo in Los Angeles 2003 a mutual friend of ours gave us an
orange sized art work that she paid about $250 or $500 for and was told it is a
Rudraksa Bead.........is totally giant looking Rudraksa Bead the size of an
orange however does not have any mukhi lines from what I remember.....Is a great
art work and really detailed so the artist really did a good job on this really
different looking item

Outside a Siva Temple in Nasik I was able to see some of Rudraksa the gypsies
had on their blankets and found a beautiful fake carved Rudraksa that had
Serpent carved and glued to top of Bead and then two bead that were ground flat
on one side and glued together so they would be a gauri shankar

Told the person selling the Beads that they were really beautiful beads and
when they asked if I would by I said no however I did tell them the beads were
really beautiful fake beads with good artwork done on them

Something got lost in the translation am sure as they probably didnt
understand how I could be so excited about seeing really good artisticly carved
and
glued fake bead combinations and then not buy

Thanks and Take Care Mitra

Thank you for this information, Satish.

That is very unfortunate. Surprising that the sellers are not fearful of the
anger of
Lord Shiva.

I met a gentleman at the Yoga Expo in Los Angeles who told me he has a rudraksha
the size of his head. I felt sorry for the guy.

Thanks, again, K.

If those items are sold as artworks, and not as genuine beads, there is no harm.

BTW-- the eBay seller of the fake giant rudraksham (who corrected his auction
post
to indicate that they were artifacts, and not genuine beads) did not recieve any
bids,
after he corrected the posts.
