Are Rudraksha & Shalagram from Nepal the ONLY good ones?

[Guest guest]

Dear Chandrashekar,

 

Thanks again for the additional wisdom. I have noted that only 5% of

Rudrakasha come from Nepal and 95% from elsewhere.

 

In the same token its is taken that 100% of Holy Shalagram come from

Nepal, but how does that compare to the total number of fossils found

world wide.

 

And Gautamiya Tantra, as well as other shastras say ONLY Shalagram from

Nepal is sacred.

 

What do you think? Do people get good effects from Java beads? It would

seem they would not get any effect from Javanese Shalagram stone

fossils...

 

Best regards,

Richard
