Rudraksha - Bollywood movie

[Guest guest]

Namaste Len/Kalipadma,

 

Thanks for mentioning/sharing about "Rudraksh" the movie!! Its sure

something I would love to get me hot lil hands on! the sooner the

better. Am a sucker for Indian movies actually but never get to see

many due to the distance between my place and the Indian video

rental shop.

 

A Fijian-Indian friend told me the movie is quite funny and is about

how a bloke got hold of a rudraksha, how it helped him change things

but not in the way he desired although it all turned out to be a

blessing in the end. Apparently a good cast with a good director

too. As it is, politicians, gurus, sadhus, Bollywood stars,

producers, directors and many who's who of India wear rudraksha here

or there, and/or ratna according to Jyotish astrological

placements. Great to know they've finally turned out a movie

although its not exactly a mainstream thing in India (at least this

is what I was told).

 

Len you're too kind ) I'm ain't no rudraksha expert, merely a

humble sadhaka who is continuing to learn something new each day..

Just happen to have an unshakeable passion for the holy beads after

experiencing their effects, some of which defy logic. After

watching the movie, shall report back here, thanks again!

 

Om Namah Shivaya
