I've heard the same 2 points Yogaman made, but from a source other than

Ammachi. I don't know what She would say about it. Also from another source,

I

heard it's good not to let the beads touch the ground for prolonged periods,

as this may draw energy from them. An alter offf of the ground could be a

good storage sopt. The same concept as some beginner yogi's not walking

outside barefoot, to keep energy from being disapated. Also, it's said to be

good

to keep a mala in a small silk bag whe not worn, to protect it's energy.

Amma says the most effective place to wear a single rudrahka bead is in the

throat cavity.

 

 

 

Dear Sweta ~ I have tried to remember seeing Amma and where Her rudraksha

beads were, but I can't remember. But I do have an Amma doll, and I know that

all of the items the Amma doll wears have been worn by Amma. My doll came with

her rudraksha necklace on the outside of her dress, and her bracelet and

anklet rudrakshas are quite visible. In another context, Swami Satyananda

Saraswati (who is with Shree Maa) wears his rudrakshas outside his garment.

They are

coming from a slightly different tradition, being more Tantric in practice,

but I must say, all this confuses me greatly.

 

For my own self, when I wear my mala, I always wear it on the inside of my

shirt or blouse because I don't want to be trumpeting. But when I have been at

the retreats or open programs, I have worn it outside, as I have seen many

other devotees do, because in that context, it seemed appropriate. Maybe this

is a question for Br. Dyamrita. What do you think? Shanti ~ Linda

Namah Shivaya Shanti,

 

It sounds like a good question for br. Dayamrita to me, also. Sinc astrological

gem stones are supposed to be of greater benefit by touching our skin, I assumed

the same would hold true for rudrashka beads. But, I don't knwo for sure.
