Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Namaskar Len Kalipadma, It is ok if I ask which Indian company did you purchase your parad bead from? No obligation to respond if you do not wish to. I'm just curious, nothing more. Would you care to describe the parad bead, i.e. if you still have it? In my case, maybe its because my system is already full of poisons hence the antidote effect and more. Happy to test it for you if you wish. Mine is worn without any sort of coating. While mercury amalgams were slowly killing me during early years when they were in tooth fillings, my bead is doing the opposite. However, in utmost resonance with you regarding rudrakshas! Another of my passions You're spot on too about each individual's mileage varying! Love the description of your crystal Ganesha murti. Is it clear quartz?

It was a company in Chennai (Madras) that made yantras. Navashakti Neelayam, I think. > Would you care to describe the parad > bead, i.e. if you still have it? It was round, silvery, about the size of my thumbnail, with a large hole running through it, and threaded on heavy red cord. After I broke out in the rash, I sealed it in an envelope, folded it up, and filed it... somewhere. (My filing system is unreliable at best!) > In my case, maybe its because my > system is already full of poisons Oh, so am I! An Ayurvedic doctor said I am that rarity, someone with Vata, Pitta, AND Kappha imbalances. > hence the antidote effect and > more. Happy to test it for you if you wish.

But (as I said) I've read statements from a Westerner who imported Parad Shiva lingams and other <murthies> that one should coat them with acrylic... > While mercury amalgams were slowly killing me > during early years when they were in tooth fillings, my bead is > doing the opposite. However, in utmost resonance with you regarding > > rudrakshas! Another of my passions I wear a rudraksha mala 24/7 except when I'm bathing or having sex. And use it for counting my mantra. I have a few rudrakshas with oddly-numbered "faces." A nine-faced one I wear during Durga Navaratri, a seven-faced one I wear when under Saturn transits. I bought a three-faced one for Mars, but it looks like a normal five-face with two of the faces filled in -- I think it's a phony. > You're spot on too about > each individual's mileage varying! Love the description of your > crystal Ganesha murti. Is it clear quartz? Of course. I had a friend who went to India buy me a small lot of crystal Ganeshas (imagining I'd resell them and be the crystal Ganesh King). Some folks complained they were too expensive for little glass statues. I'd correct them -- not glass, quartz crystal... Vajra! Being naieve and not greedy, I only doubled the wholesale price but two sharp-eyed ladies at a New Age Conference whispered (within my earshot) "Let's buy them all! We can resell these at three times the price." And they did. I'm amazed at the way Hindu <tchatchkas> get marked up when sold in the West. (Sy, this is your opportunity to give your website and talk about the rudrakshas you sell, at very reasonable prices!) -- Len/ Kalipadma ______________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
