Tulasi & Rudraksha used together: Bhaktidevi & Bhakta Shrestha

[Guest guest]

Dear Ole,

 

Yes, wearing so many Rudrakshas seems to be not the middle path, it is extreme.

 

With Rudraksha, large Nepali beads are the most powerful, AND "Less is MORE"

 

One single 14 mukhi is better than all the other beads. It's even recommended by

Lord

Vishnu Himself. So much importance has been placed by Shastra on single 14

mukhi.

 

Just wear alone with tulasi neck beads and you'll see a big difference. You're

not a sadhu!

Siddha mala is for Sadhus or meditation. If you use such a big mala you might

get

confused and look like a hippy Better to worship all the other beads and just

wear the

Chaturdasha-mukhi from Nepal...the Ultimate.

 

Let me know how it goes. Please put sandal wood oil on your 14 mukhi often so it

stays

wet looking... Keep your neck beads so you can easily remove and soak the

Rudraksha in

oil from time to time... Om svastyastu!!!

 

Best rgds,

Richard
