Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Dear Chandrashekarji, Namaste!!! I don't remember any mention of Rudraksha at all in Sri Garuda Puranam, nor Srimad Bhagavat Puranam. Sri Kamal Seetha of Mumbai is the only person, besides you, who knows so much about Rudraksha. As for astrological relations between planets and different mukhi Rudraksha, I have not read all tantric and astrological books, nor all the Puranas. Smt. Swee Chan, a member here, is going to extremes to search the Puranas for information on Astrology, gems and Rudraksha. I don't know any one else in the English speaking world who is doing as much research as her. Translations of Sanskrit verses are often subject to interpretation everywhere, and reaching a conclusion acceptable to the leading Sanskrit savants is tricky. But if mention of gems is made anywhere then Swee will certainly find that, for all our benefits. To be honest I am only repeating like a parrot what I have read by Rudraksha experts, and I have never questioned their conclusions, such as 1 mukhi=Sun, 2 mukhi=Moon, BUT, I would have thought that 3 mukhi represented Jupiter, whose cosmic number is 3. Instead the experts have listed in order of the week days rather than by cosmic number. If Rudraksha is listed by associated "number" then it would be, 1 mukhi=Sun, 2 mukhi=Moon, 3 mukhi=Jupiter, 4 mukhi=Rahu, 5 mukhi=Mercury, 6 mukhi=Venus, 7 mukhi=Ketu, 8 mukhi =Saturn, and 9 mukhi=Mars. Further, 10 mukhi=Sun, 11 mukhi=Moon, 12 mukhi=Jupiter, 13 mukhi=Rahu, 14 mukhi=Mercury, 15 mukhi=Venus, 16 mukhi=Ketu, 17 mukhi=Saturn, and 18 mukhi=Mars. But that is not what others have concluded. And I cannnot dispute anything about Rudraksha for want of knowledge. If they ever change the RR list to be as above, I'll be the first to accept it!!!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 and its effects on this world. I think, every body of us talking about rudraksha should take a note of this new thought generated by you which is more scientific.
