Dear Richard and Friends,

 

I was just visiting the site of Nepa Rudraksha, considered to be one

of the most authentic and reliable wholesellers of the Nepali

Rudraksha. I believe they supply the majority of the large Indian

retailers. They have just added the STUNNING DISCOVERY, the first in

their 40 years of doing business, of GENUINE ROUND ONE MUKHI AND

NIRAKAR NEPALI RUDRAKSHA, WOW, THIS IS TRULY INCREDIBLE!!!

 

I believe we can be sure these beads are the real thing, Nepa

Rudraksha have an impeccable reputation and would definitely not risk

to jeopardize this by offering fake beads.

 

Go to http://www.nepalirudraksha.com/ to take Darshan of these most

rare Rudraksha in existence. I have contacted Mukunda Khatiwada for

more information and will update as soon as I learn more.

I totally disagree with Mr. Alstrup that GENUINE ROUND ONE MUKHI AND NIRAKAR

NEPALI RUDRAKSHA, found in Nepal. I have visited the link and these are fake

ones which you can get in Rs. 500 to 1100 nepali currency. So Bhaktajans do

not get carried away by these unholy beads.

 

He may be a good supplier of Rudraksha but definitely not the best one. The

best is only one is only Rudra Centre which does not deal at all in so called

GENUINE ROUND ONE MUKHI AND NIRAKAR NEPALI RUDRAKSHA. They have also been

approached with these kinds of beads by different suppliers but they do not

deal in these fake beads.

 

These are those beads which naturally has not completely formed and only 1 face

of these beads is only formed. So be careful, the only check is to cut one bead

and see whether there is only one seed inside. Can he do it to prove its

genuity???.

Dear All,

 

A round Ekmukhi is present with the Son in Law of the home minister

of Rajasthan. It was gifted 20 years back. A Jain Sadhu visited his

place and gifted it to him.

 

I will try to get the photograph of this bead. According to him the

bead rotates while it is kept in hand.

 

I want to test his claims. One of my close friends who is in South

Africa had also seen a piece many years back. It was there with his

Guruji. According to him this bead used to rotate while kept in hand.

 

So many mouths and so many claims. I will try to find out the whole

truth related to ek Mukhi. I have also seen the photographs of the

bead on the website. It is not round first of all. Secondly the beads

like that are culutured in Haridwar. They are round and real. But

they are not natural and are available at the price of 2700 Rs

onwards.

 

 

I have seen lot of them. They too are not round.

 

Regards

 

Alok

 

PS: Truth is difficult and bitter. But illusions taste the same.

Hi Friends,

I am Siddharth Mishra. I have recently joined this group as I found

some interesting discussion going on about Ek Mukhi ( 1 MUKHI)

Rudraksha. At the outset I would like to submit that I am into

business of Rudraksha since 5 years and I am teaching Rudraksha

Therapy at Hydrabad. I have visited Nepal and I know all the Nepali

Suppliers and their credentials.

I had visited the link which was sent by one of the group member

about one site claiming that they have 1 mukhi Rudraksha. First of

all let us be very clear that any Rudraksha will have seeds inside

which are actual the source of energy of a bead. It is a proven fact

that a 5 mukhi bead if cut laterally will have 5 seeds inside it and

same goes for any other mukhi bead. A 10 Mukhi will definite have 10

seeds inside. Now the bead which is shown in the site, Friends

believe me this is actually a 4 mukhi Rudraksha whose mukhs have not

formed completely. If you see this bead clearly you will see that it

has four impressions like a 4 Mukhi bead and which actually could

have converted to 4 mukhs of the bead if formed properly. This is a

genuine 4 mukhi rudraksha but definitely not 1 Mukhi Rudraksha as

claimed by the site. Tomorrow I will try to post the cut section of

a similar bead which does not have even 1 line. I have now learnt

that this bead is called as Nirakar bead. There is no such name

mentioned in our ancient text. Infact the description of beads after

14 mukhi is only mentioned in katiyani puran, otherwise there is no

mention of any properties or description available from 15 Mukhi

onwards in any of the text.

Yes I agree that a javanese 1 mukhi has a clear 1 line on the bead

and when it is cut laterally then only one seed is seen. A two mukhi

javanese bead similarly have two seeds inside. I feel javanese one

mukhi is more authentic than even Indian Kaju shaped 1 mukhi. And

have you noticed the shape of 1 mukhi Javanese bead it is just like

a flattened and tappered bead.

I want to further submit that botanically 1 mukhi round bead can

never exist. Simple logic behind this is thatif we srr a 6 mukhi or

five mukhi they will be round beads to the perfection, if we see a 4

mukhi bead , we will find it a bit squarish shaped, if we see a

three mukhi we find it a bit triangular shaped, if we see a 2 mukhi

bead we find it a bit more flat, so in nut shell as the mukhs of the

bead reduces the bead becomes more and more tapered. Why ever we

have not found a perfect shaped 2 mukhi round bead, they will always

be flattened beads whether they are from Nepal, or India or

Indonesia. Similarly a 1 mukhi can never be round it will definitely

be a Kaju shaped or a haly moon shaped bead. Similarly if we go to

higher mukhis like 12 or 13 or 17 and above we will find them more

oval , I mean they will have more length and less breadth.

Now I challange the site that let it cut the bead laterally and if

it does not have 4 seeds I will pay the whole amount to the site

otherwise this site will promise to not to misguide the devotees any

more and dupe people on the name being a reputed site. A reputed

site cannot stoop to such low levels for petty monetary gains. My

suggestion is that it should be immediately removed from the site.

And Devotees pl just do not close your eyes because one particular

site has served you well once with the good beads. We should be very

very rational in our thinking. We should get the best bead for the

amount we are spending. Few devotees show their beads to me and say

that it is 20 years old bead and has been given by one Sadhu or

renowned Baba especially 1 mukhi Rudraksha and beleive me friends

they are all fake ones. Even old Babas I dont know from where they

could manage the fake 1 muhkis or Rudrakshas with artificially

carved Trishuls etc. The age of the Rudraksha can not make it a

genuine bead. Similarly now also the site is basically befooling the

devotees. So beware Freinds.

Aum Namah Shivaye

comment about the "Nirakar" bead, but I know that its name is not derived from

any scripture, I guess it means "no mukhi". It seems you are confusing the two

beads shown at the Nepa rudraksha site. Some more pics of the two bead will

shortly be uploaded at the Open Rudraksha Forum, courtesy by the owner

and moderator of that forum. I am informed that the One Mukhi round shown at

the site has its shape like three mukhi round nepali with only one mukhi, the

other mukhi is seen to be covered so it has to be considered as one mukhi as

well. It would be interesting to know how many Nepali suppliers are there and

what are their names? Also, what is the Katiyani Purana - an upa purana?

Where is it available? Thanks, ~ Olesidhmis <sidhmis > wrote: Hi

rudrakshas available in the market are fake." The rudrakshas are categorised

according to the number of divisions or lines found on them. The Ekamukhi

rudraksha, for instance, has one line running across it. And, when a rudraksha

is horizontally cut into two, the number of chambers or seeds seen is equal to

the number of lines running over it. Mr. Rao heads a research team that works

on rudrakshas. The exhibition at C.P. Art Foundation, Alwarpet, which is open

till February 23 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., will also help the public to identify

real and fake rudrakshas. Rare pieces, including those with a single line to

those with 21 lines, are displayed at the exhibition. Some are exclusive

pieces that are available only in Nepal. The cost of pieces for sale range

from 22

paise to Rs.7 lakh.regardsGregwww.spacetrader.com.aua_jagawat wrote: Dear All,A

seeds inside. Here itself you are wrong my dear friend. Pl confirm from your

reputed site that what you are writing is correct or incorrect. Also pl confirm

from your Botanist friend too that what you are saying is right or wrong. If

they think that you are right then let them mail in the group and let other

devotees also know about the same. Pl Mr. Ole come out of your mind set . What

you are saying is absolutely incorrect. Let us not beat around the bush any

more. Tell me how many 8 mukhis if you cut say 100 will have 7 seeds inside ?

pl ponder on this. Our botanist Chandrashekharji can supply much input in

this field, as he has shared that at the RSBC group earlier on and also at the

open rudraksha forum. I want to hear from Mr. Chandrashekar that how many 8

mukhi will have 7 seeds inside or 9 seeds inside if he cuts 100 eight Mukhi

beads. Pl answer Mr.

Shekhar. I would refer anyone to look at David Zaremba's site at

www.rudraksha-center.com and click on inside rudraksha pictures. You will find

an examination of two 5 mukhis beads, which clearly prove this point. This is

not true. Yes some times it happens that two seeds are so close that they

appear to be one. But definitely it will not happen for all the 5 Mukhi beads.

And we cannot generalise that a 5 mukhi will have 4 seeds or 6 seeds. This

could be due to their abnormal growth. This is more of a diseased bead. It

happens in the little ones of animals and human being as well that they are

born with some abnormality. So they are treated to remove this abnormality. Not

that they become super human. So your theory that the number of seeds inside

is the source of the power in a bead is

therefore proven wrong. My theory is unchallengable. Because I know what I am

writing is true to the core. I am not taking anybody's names to prove my point.

I challenge any knowledgable person of Rudraksha will say the same thing what I

have been saying. You ask any one. Infact Lateral cutting is the only test by

which you can ascertain that the Rudraksha is actually how many mukhis. Again I

am sure your site person and Mr. Chandrashekhar will agree with me. I want to

read their comments and I am sure all group members would like to read. I

cannot comment about the "Nirakar" bead, but I know that its name is not

derived from any scripture, I guess it means "no mukhi". Yes it is good that

you are not commenting for some thing you do not know. Pl go to BISHAL BAZAR in

Kathmandu and you will see no. of shops in ground and first floor inside this

complex, pl ask them

whether they can give 'zero' mukhi bead and you will get atleast 5 TO 10 from

them which will either have no mukh or will have one mukh and believe me that

they are genuine ones. The cost would be Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 NC(NEPALI

CURRENCY). Now here the difference is that on the site they are a bit refined

one, more good to look at. Thats all , but if cut laterally they will have 3

seeds or 4 seeds or 5 seeds. Believe me I am right because I have done it

myself so I dont need any credantials for any one. It seems you are confusing

the two beads shown at the Nepa rudraksha site. My logic and conviction is

beyond doubt. Pl be rest assured. I have done my homework thoroughly before

writing in this group. Some more pics of the two bead will shortly be

uploaded at the Open Rudraksha Forum, courtesy by the

owner and moderator of that forum. I am sure with all this discussion the site

person will not try to befool devotees any more. I am informed that the One

Mukhi round shown at the site has its shape like three mukhi round nepali with

only one mukhi, the other mukhi is seen to be covered so it has to be

considered as one mukhi as well. It does not happen the way you think. The

energy source in any bead is the seed inside. So even if the mukhs are covered

naturally the bead continues to be equivalent to the number of seeds inside.

Its affect will be same as the no. of seeds inside. Botanically it is not

possible to have 1 mukhi round bead. I again reitreate that it has to be flat

one and half moon shaped. It would be interesting to know how many Nepali

suppliers are there and what are their names? I

dont think this will matter in any way. Also, what is the Katiyani Purana - an

upa purana? Where is it available? Write me a personal mail. I will tell the

source where you can get this. My aim is not to take the shelter of any site

or any person otherwise people will start linking my name with them.

Thanks, Siddharthacharyasidhmis <sidhmis > wrote: Hi Friends,I am

Siddharth Mishra. I have recently joined this group as I found some interesting

discussion going on about Ek Mukhi ( 1 MUKHI) Rudraksha. At the outset I would

like to submit that I am into business of Rudraksha since 5 years and I am

teaching Rudraksha Therapy at Hydrabad. I have visited

Nepal and I know all the Nepali Suppliers and their credentials.I had visited

the link which was sent by one of the group member about one site claiming that

they have 1 mukhi Rudraksha. First of all let us be very clear that any

Rudraksha will have seeds inside which are actual the source of energy of a

bead. It is a proven fact that a 5 mukhi bead if cut laterally will have 5

seeds inside it and same goes for any other mukhi bead. A 10 Mukhi will

definite have 10 seeds inside. Now the bead which is shown in the site, Friends

believe me this is actually a 4 mukhi Rudraksha whose mukhs have not formed

completely. If you see this bead clearly you will see that it has four

impressions like a 4 Mukhi bead and which actually could have converted to 4

mukhs of the bead if formed properly. This is a genuine 4 mukhi rudraksha but

definitely not 1 Mukhi Rudraksha as claimed by the site. Tomorrow I will try to

post the cut section of

a similar bead which does not have even 1 line. I have now learnt that this bead

is called as Nirakar bead. There is no such name mentioned in our ancient text.

Infact the description of beads after 14 mukhi is only mentioned in katiyani

puran, otherwise there is no mention of any properties or description available

from 15 Mukhi onwards in any of the text. Yes I agree that a javanese 1 mukhi

has a clear 1 line on the bead and when it is cut laterally then only one seed

is seen. A two mukhi javanese bead similarly have two seeds inside. I feel

javanese one mukhi is more authentic than even Indian Kaju shaped 1 mukhi. And

have you noticed the shape of 1 mukhi Javanese bead it is just like a flattened

and tappered bead.I want to further submit that botanically 1 mukhi round bead

can never exist. Simple logic behind this is thatif we srr a 6 mukhi or five

mukhi they will be round beads to the perfection, if we see a 4

mukhi bead , we will find it a bit squarish shaped, if we see a three mukhi we

find it a bit triangular shaped, if we see a 2 mukhi bead we find it a bit more

flat, so in nut shell as the mukhs of the bead reduces the bead becomes more and

more tapered. Why ever we have not found a perfect shaped 2 mukhi round bead,

they will always be flattened beads whether they are from Nepal, or India or

Indonesia. Similarly a 1 mukhi can never be round it will definitely be a Kaju

shaped or a haly moon shaped bead. Similarly if we go to higher mukhis like 12

or 13 or 17 and above we will find them more oval , I mean they will have more

length and less breadth.Now I challange the site that let it cut the bead

laterally and if it does not have 4 seeds I will pay the whole amount to the

site otherwise this site will promise to not to misguide the devotees any more

and dupe people on the name being a reputed site. A reputed site

cannot stoop to such low levels for petty monetary gains. My suggestion is that

it should be immediately removed from the site.And Devotees pl just do not

close your eyes because one particular site has served you well once with the

good beads. We should be very very rational in our thinking. We should get the

best bead for the amount we are spending. Few devotees show their beads to me

and say that it is 20 years old bead and has been given by one Sadhu or

renowned Baba especially 1 mukhi Rudraksha and beleive me friends they are all

fake ones. Even old Babas I dont know from where they could manage the fake 1

muhkis or Rudrakshas with artificially carved Trishuls etc. The age of the

Rudraksha can not make it a genuine bead. Similarly now also the site is

basically befooling the devotees. So beware Freinds.Aum Namah ShivayeSiddharth

about Rudraksha you think is correct but I dont think so. I basically had an

interest to know more in the context of your claims, that was all... I would

like to state that it is an ESTABLISHED fact that the number of mukhis do not

necessarily correspond to the number of seeds inside a bead, so I wonder how

many beads you actually have examined? Who say so? It is not an established

fact that no. of beads do not necessarily correspond to the no. of seeds

inside. Here itself you are wrong my dear friend. Pl confirm from your reputed

site that what you are writing is correct or incorrect. Well, first of all

you did not answer my question of how many beads you yourself have examined

according to your own

set standards... Also pl confirm from your Botanist friend too that what you

are saying is right or wrong. If they think that you are right then let them

mail in the group and let other devotees also know about the same. Of course,

as you may know, Chandrashekharji is a frequent poster here and will no doubt

supply his input very soon... Pl Mr. Ole come out of your mind set . What you

are saying is absolutely incorrect. Let us not beat around the bush any more.

Tell me how many 8 mukhis if you cut say 100 will have 7 seeds inside ? pl

ponder on this. I do not know as I have certainly not performed such a test,

have you? Our botanist Chandrashekharji can supply much input in this field,

as he has shared that at the RSBC group earlier on and also at the open

will have 7 seeds inside or 9 seeds inside if he cuts 100 eight Mukhi beads.

Pl answer Mr. Shekhar. Well, I dont think that is any relevant test in the

context of our discussion, and not fair to Chandrahshekharji, I have supplied

you information which refute your theory and you refuse to acknowledge it, so

what can I do? I would refer anyone to look at David Zaremba's site at

www.rudraksha-center.com and click on inside rudraksha pictures. You will find

an examination of two 5 mukhis beads, which clearly prove this

point. This is not true. Yes, it is, you can see it if you will just look...

Yes some times it happens that two seeds are so close that they appear to be

one. That is not what this RANDOM test showed... But definitely it will

not happen for all the 5 Mukhi beads. And we cannot generalise that a 5 mukhi

will have 4 seeds or 6 seeds. No one claimed this, the result is still the

same, seeds inside do not necessarily correspond to number of outside mukhis..

This could

be due to their abnormal growth. This is more of a diseased bead. It happens in

the little ones of animals and human being as well that they are born with some

abnormality. So they are treated to remove this abnormality. Not that they

become super human. A 5 mukhi bead with 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc seeds inside is still

a 5 mukhi bead. Your comparison has absolutely no bearing on the result. Now you

are claiming that any bead with different number of seeds is diseased, but the

FACT remains that if you cut a bead, the number of seeds inside will not

NECESSARILY be the same as the outside mukhis. You may view it as diseased, I

do not. A rudraksha with NATURAL number of mukhis is certainly that bead,

because THIS IS HOW A BEAD IS EXAMINED IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT THE SEEDS, WE

FIND NOTHING ABOUT THAT FROM RUDRAKSHA TRADITION; SO THAT IS YOUR THEORY

ONLY... So your theory that the number of seeds inside is the source of the

power in a bead is therefore proven wrong. My theory is unchallengable.

Because I know what I am writing is true to the core. I am not taking anybody's

other discussions in establishing genuinness of the Rudrakshas and inviting me

to their exhibitions. If I am in that city I will surely attend your

exhibitions. I will very audaciously praise you if your beads are good and you

are serving devotees in good faith but if the beads are not good and some

commercial gain is expected out of it I will criticize as well sordidly. Pl do

not blame me later. I want to further submit that If one or two odd people does

not agree to me , it really makes no difference to me. I am sure in their heart

they have agreed to me and may be because of their ego they do not want to

disclose it. But its Ok with me. Or even if this is not true I am least

bothered. My aim of spreading correct perspective about rudrakshas is acheived.

I will keep on writing in this group when ever I will find that some person is

trying to dupe innocent devotees for his personal gains. Cheers! Om Namah

will have 7 seeds inside or 9 seeds inside if he cuts 100 eight Mukhi beads.

Pl answer Mr. Shekhar. Well, I dont think that is any relevant test in the

context of our discussion, and not fair to Chandrahshekharji, I have supplied

you information which refute your theory and you

refuse to acknowledge it, so what can I do? I would refer anyone to look at

David Zaremba's site at www.rudraksha-center.com and click on inside rudraksha

pictures. You will find an examination of two 5 mukhis beads, which clearly

prove this point. This is not true. Yes, it is, you can see it if you will

just look... Yes some times it happens that two seeds are so close that they

appear to be one. That is not what this RANDOM test showed... But

definitely it will not happen for all the 5 Mukhi beads. And we

cannot generalise that a 5 mukhi will have 4 seeds or 6 seeds. No one claimed

this, the result is still the same, seeds inside do not necessarily correspond

to number of outside mukhis.. This could be due to their abnormal growth.

This is more of a diseased bead. It happens in the little ones of animals and

human being as well that they are born with some abnormality. So they are

treated to remove this abnormality. Not that they become super human. A 5

mukhi bead with 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc seeds inside is still a 5 mukhi bead. Your

comparison has absolutely no bearing on the result. Now you are claiming that

any bead with different number of seeds is diseased, but the FACT remains that

if you cut a bead, the number of seeds inside will not

NECESSARILY be the same as the outside mukhis. You may view it as diseased, I do

not. A rudraksha with NATURAL number of mukhis is certainly that bead, because

THIS IS HOW A BEAD IS EXAMINED IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT THE SEEDS, WE FIND

NOTHING ABOUT THAT FROM RUDRAKSHA TRADITION; SO THAT IS YOUR THEORY ONLY...

So your theory that the number of seeds inside is the source of the power in a

bead is therefore proven wrong. My theory is unchallengable. Because I know

what I am writing is true to the core. I am not taking anybody's names to prove

my point. I challenge any knowledgable person of Rudraksha will say the same

thing what I have been saying. You ask any one. You may claim as you like,

but there is no value to your claim. Infact Lateral cutting is the only test

by which you can ascertain that the Rudraksha is actually how many mukhis.

Again I am sure your site person and Mr. Chandrashekhar will agree with me. I

want to read their comments and I am sure all group members would like to read.

Lateral cutting will show the number of seeds, not mukhis, thats all. I

cannot comment about the "Nirakar" bead, but I know that its name is not

derived from any scripture, I guess it means "no mukhi". Yes it is good that

you are not commenting for some thing you do not know. Pl go to BISHAL BAZAR in

Kathmandu and you will see no. of shops in ground and first floor inside this

complex, pl ask them whether they can give 'zero' mukhi bead and you will get

atleast 5 TO 10 from them which will either

have no mukh or will have one mukh and believe me that they are genuine ones.

So what do you mean by genuine ones? The cost would be Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000

NC(NEPALI CURRENCY). Now here the difference is that on the site they are a

bit refined one, more good to look at. Thats all , but if cut laterally they

will have 3 seeds or 4 seeds or 5 seeds. Believe me I am right because I have

done it myself so I dont need any credantials for any one. It seems you are

confusing the two beads shown at the Nepa rudraksha site. My logic and

conviction is beyond doubt. Pl be rest assured. I have done my homework

thoroughly before writing in this group. Some more pics

of the two bead will shortly be uploaded at the Open Rudraksha Forum,

courtesy by the owner and moderator of that forum. I am sure with all this

discussion the site person will not try to befool devotees any more. That

particular bead is still subject to investigation, contrary to your premature

conclusions. I am informed that the One Mukhi round shown at the site has its

shape like three mukhi round nepali with only one mukhi, the other mukhi is seen

to be covered so it has to be considered as one mukhi as well. It does not

happen the way you think. The energy source in any bead is the seed inside. So

even if the mukhs are covered naturally the bead continues to be equivalent to

the number of seeds inside. Its affect will be same as the no. of seeds inside.

What

you are stating here is again not stated in ANY authentic rudraksha scripture

and this is of course NOT the proper way of identifying a bead, except for a

botanical investigation, so we can dismiss it. Botanically it is not possible

to have 1 mukhi round bead. I again reitreate that it has to be flat one and

half moon shaped. Well, of course, according to your own BOTANICAL logic, IF

you ever encountered a TRUE 1 mukhi round bead, you would either label it as a

fake, diseased or a freak of nature, but it would still be a TRUE 1 mukhi. It

would be interesting to know how many Nepali suppliers are there and what are

their names? I dont think this will matter in any way. I was merely interested

in your insights in this area. Also, what is the Katiyani Purana - an upa

purana? Where is it available? Write me a personal mail. I will tell the source

where you can get this. My aim is not to take the shelter of any site or any

person otherwise people will start linking my name with them. I dont see what

the big fuss is about this, but as you wish. Thanks, Siddharthacharya Ole

Dear Richardji, Namaste . We do not have 1 mukhi round in our collection . The

bead we have is Javanese one which is flat and very tiny and X-ray shows the

presence of one seed in it . This we use in the Indra mala Javanese on our

website . We have never traded through our website in so called 1 mukhi round

from Nepal . We have done extensive X-rays on all mukhis which are in our

records , which show clearly that the seeds correspond to the number of mukhis

.. Sometimes the seeds are very close to each other , which makes them hard to

distinguish in X-rays We also have X-ray of the round beads from Nepal which

have less developed mukhis in the exterior making them seem mukhiless , and the

X-rays show 5 seeds in them . We have been doing X-ray research in order to

develop a very convincing method of distinguishing fake beads from real Maybe

in coming future , we would have success in this .

You appear to be a broker of this particular site. Just learn to accept truth.

Dont get frustrated if you are unable to prove your point. I want to

discontinue this discussion because my purpose of informing the devotees has

been acheived and this was unnecessarily creating negativity in the fine group.

You pl buy these type of 1 mukhi and let other devotees also take their own

decision of buying this or not. Try to increase your knowledge. Laxmi will

come to you automatically. You need not do publicity for any product on some

one else behalf. I have again answered your querries. Pl go thro. I would

request the club owner to stop further mails on this subject. We have put

allegations and counter allegations enough. Lets make this platform a healthier

platform for discussions and not for commercial gains. My comments in black

bold letters below: Hello Ole Alstrup. Hello again It would be interesting

if you could share more info about your rudraksha business and your

teaching.of therapy in Hyderabad. I dont think that this is relevant in the

present context. I am not asking about your background, and your knowledge

about Rudraksha you think is correct but I dont think so. I basically had an

interest to know more in the context of your claims, that was all... NO

ANSWER FOR THIS I would like to state that it is an ESTABLISHED fact that the

number of mukhis do not necessarily correspond to the number of seeds inside a

bead, so I wonder how many beads you actually have examined? Who say so? It is

not an established fact that no. of beads do not necessarily correspond to the

no. of seeds inside. Here itself you are wrong my dear friend. Pl confirm

from your reputed site that what you are writing is correct or incorrect.

Well, first of all you did not answer my question of how many beads you

yourself have examined according to your own set standards... MORE THAN 1000

BEADS. WE TEACH OUR STUDENTS ABOUT EACH BEADS AND THEIR PROPERTIES. NOW DONT

ASK WHAT IS THE NAME OF MY STUDENTS WHAT IS THE NAME OF MY INSTITUTE. Also pl

confirm from your Botanist friend too that what you are saying is right or

wrong. If they think that you are right then let them mail in the group and let

other devotees also know about the same. Of course, as you may know,

Chandrashekharji is a frequent poster here and will no doubt supply

his input very soon... HAVE YOU ASKED HIM THAT YOUR THEORY SPECIFICALLY THAT

'NO. OF SEEDS MAY NOT BE EQUAL TO NO. OF MUKHS' INSIDE THE RUDRAKSHA BEAD. PL

MAKE HIM ASNWER THIS. Pl Mr. Ole come out of your mind set . What you are

saying is absolutely incorrect. Let us not beat around the bush any more. Tell

me how many 8 mukhis if you cut say 100 will have 7 seeds inside ? pl ponder

on this. I do not know as I have certainly not performed such a test, have

you? I HAVE PERFORMED ON OVER 1000 BEADS OF NEPALI ORIGIN. Our botanist

Chandrashekharji can supply much input in this field, as he has shared that at

the

RSBC group earlier on and also at the open rudraksha forum. I want to hear from

Mr. Chandrashekar that how many 8 mukhi will have 7 seeds inside or 9 seeds

inside if he cuts 100 eight Mukhi beads. Pl answer Mr. Shekhar. Well, I dont

think that is any relevant test in the context of our discussion, and not fair

to Chandrahshekharji, I have supplied you information which refute your theory

and you refuse to acknowledge it, so what can I do? NO AS OF NOW HE HAS NOT

ANSWERED. LETS WAIT FOR HIS ANSWER . SO PL DONT COMMENT THAT I REFUSE TO

ACKNOWLEDGE. I would refer anyone to look at David Zaremba's site at

www.rudraksha-center.com and click on inside rudraksha pictures. You will find

an

examination of two 5 mukhis beads, which clearly prove this point. This is not

true. Yes, it is, you can see it if you will just look... YOU ARE BEATING

AROUND THE BUSH. IF A BEAD IS HAVING MORE MUKHS THAN THE SEEDS INSIDE THAN IT

IS A DISEASED BEAD. IT HAS NOT GROWN FULLY. IT IS JUST LIKE AN RETATRDED CHILD

WHO HAS ALL THE BODY PARTS BUT HIS BRAIN DOES NOT WORK LIKE A NORMAL CHILD. IT

IS THE SEED INSIDE WHICH IS THE ENERGY SOURCE. THE MUKHS ARE MERELY THE OUTLETS

FROM WHERE THE ENERGY GOES OUT ENERGY. MAN CAN MAKE MUKHS ARTIFICIALLY ON THE

BEED BUT HE CANNOT PLANT SEED INSIDE IT CORRESPONDINGLY. Yes some times it

happens that two seeds are so close that they appear to be one. That is not

what this RANDOM test showed... I HAVE ANSWERED IT. But definitely it

will not happen for all the 5 Mukhi beads. And we cannot generalise that a 5

mukhi will have 4 seeds or 6 seeds. No one claimed this, the result is still

the same, seeds inside do not necessarily correspond to number of outside

mukhis.. AGAIN BEATING AROUND THE BUSH. YOU YOUR SELF TAKE 5 NEPALI BEADS AND

CUT THEM LATERLLY AND SEE THE RESULTS YOUR SELF. I CHALLENGE IF I AM WRONG. ALL

5 BEADS WILL HAVE 5 SEEDS

INSIDE. PL CHECK IT YOURSELF DONT GO BY OTHER SITES AND PICTURES PEOPLE HAVE

SENT EARLIER. DO IT YOURSELF AND THEN TALK TO ME. This could be due to their

abnormal growth. This is more of a diseased bead. It happens in the little ones

of animals and human being as well that they are born with some abnormality. So

me. I want to read their comments and I am sure all group members would like to

NO. YOU ARE WRONG. YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE THE BEAD IN TWO PARTS. YOU CAN SEE THE

SEEDS AS WELL AS MUKHS. YOU CAN TURN THE BEAD SLIGHTLY AND SEE THE

CORRESPONDING MUKH AS WELL . IT IS VERY EASY. I cannot comment about the

"Nirakar" bead, but I know that its name is not derived from any scripture, I

guess it means "no mukhi". Yes it is good that you are not commenting for some

Let us not beat around the bush any more. Tell me how many 8 mukhis if you cut

SINCE I HAVE NOT PERFORMED SUCH A TEST. I do not know as I have certainly not

and click on inside rudraksha pictures. You will find an examination of two 5

mukhis beads, which clearly prove this point. This is not true. WHAT IS NOT

TRUE? Yes, it is, you can see it if you will just look... YOU ARE BEATING

AROUND THE BUSH. IF A BEAD IS HAVING

MORE MUKHS THAN THE SEEDS INSIDE THAN IT IS A DISEASED BEAD. IT HAS NOT GROWN

BRAIN DOES NOT WORK LIKE A NORMAL CHILD. IT IS THE SEED INSIDE WHICH IS THE

ENERGY SOURCE. THE MUKHS ARE MERELY THE OUTLETS FROM WHERE THE ENERGY GOES OUT

ENERGY. THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE VERDICT OF THE RUDRAKSHA TRADITION, YOU

ARE PRESENTING YOUR OWN BOTANICAL SPECULATION. BEADS ARE EXAMINED ACCORDING TO

THEIR OUTSIDE AUTHENTIC NATURAL MUKHIS, NOT INNER SEEDS. I CHALLENGE YOU TO

GIVE ME ONE EXAMPLE FROM HOLY RUDRAKSHA SCRIPTURES WHERE YOUR CLAIM IS

MENTIONED. MAN CAN MAKE MUKHS ARTIFICIALLY ON THE BEED BUT HE CANNOT PLANT

SEED INSIDE IT CORRESPONDINGLY. OF COURSE Yes some times it happens that

two seeds are so close that they appear to be one. YES, WHY NOT That is

not what this RANDOM test showed... I HAVE ANSWERED IT. WELL, YOU VAGUELY

STATED IT WAS NOT TRUE, SO WHAT IS NOT TRUE; ZAREMBAS EXAMINATION? But

definitely it will not happen for all the 5 Mukhi beads. And we cannot

generalise that a 5 mukhi will have 4 seeds or 6 seeds. No one claimed this,

the result is still the same, seeds inside do not necessarily correspond to

number of outside mukhis.. AGAIN BEATING AROUND THE BUSH. YOU YOUR SELF TAKE

5 NEPALI BEADS AND CUT THEM LATERLLY AND SEE THE RESULTS YOUR SELF. I CHALLENGE

IF I AM WRONG. ALL 5 BEADS WILL HAVE 5 SEEDS INSIDE. PL CHECK IT YOURSELF DONT

GO BY OTHER SITES AND PICTURES PEOPLE HAVE SENT EARLIER. DO IT YOURSELF AND

THEN TALK TO ME. AGAIN, YOU MISS MY POINT ENTIRELY, I AM STATING AS A

GENERAL RULE THAT WE CANNOT SAY THAT IE. ALL 5 MUKHI BEADS WILL NECESSARILY

HAVE 5

SEEDS INSIDE, THE TESTS BY ZAREMBA AND CHANDRASHEKHAR HAVE ALREADY PROVEN THAT,

AND YOUR YOURSELF ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BUT YOU STATE IN SUCH A CASE A BEAD IS

DISEASED. YES, ACCORDING TO BOTANICAL KNOWLEDGE IT MAY BE "DISEASED", BUT

ACCORDING TO HOLY RUDRAKSHA TRADITION IT IS STILL A HOLY 5 MUKHI BEAD AND AGAIN

WE FIND NOTHING IN TRADITION WHICH SAY YOU EXAMINE BEADS ACCORDING TO SEEDS.

This could be due to their abnormal growth. This is more of a diseased bead. It

happens in the little ones of animals and human being as well that they are born

with some abnormality. So they are treated to remove this abnormality. Not that

they become super human. A 5 mukhi bead with 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc seeds inside is

still a 5 mukhi bead. Your comparison has absolutely no bearing on the result.

Now you are claiming that any bead with

different number of seeds is diseased, but the FACT remains that if you cut a

bead, the number of seeds inside will not NECESSARILY be the same as the

outside mukhis. You may view it as diseased, I do not. A rudraksha with NATURAL

number of mukhis is certainly that bead, because THIS IS HOW A BEAD IS EXAMINED

IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT THE SEEDS, WE FIND NOTHING ABOUT THAT FROM RUDRAKSHA

TRADITION; SO THAT IS YOUR THEORY ONLY... HA HA ITS RUBBISH. ITS WHAT YOU

THINK. DO THE TEST YOURSELF AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH. PLEASE DO NOT BE

OFFENSIVE AND LAUGH AT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOLY RUDRAKSHA KNOWLEDGE GIVEN BY LORD

SHIVA AND HIS SADHAKS, THEN YOU ARE RUINED. PLEASE SHOW RESPECT TO THE

DESCRIPTIONS GIVEN BY THE SADHUS AND RISHIS, WE FIND NOTHING IN RUDRAKSHA

TRADITION OF WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT CONCERNING THE SEEDS, DO WE? YOU

PLEASE ANSWER THIS POINT VERY CLEARLY. So your theory that the number of seeds

inside is the source of the power in a bead is therefore proven wrong. My

theory is unchallengable. Because I know what I am writing is true to the core.

I am not taking anybody's names to prove my point. I challenge any knowledgable

person of Rudraksha will say the same thing what I have been saying. You ask

any one. You may claim as you like, but there is no value to your claim. I

HAVE ENOUGH FOLLOWERES AND STUDENTS. I DONT WANT MORE. I AGAIN REITREATE THAT

ANY KNOWLEDABLE PERSON WILL SAY WHAT I AM SAYING.

Infact Lateral cutting is the only test by which you can ascertain that the

Rudraksha is actually how many mukhis. Again I am sure your site person and Mr.

Chandrashekhar will agree with me. I want to read their comments and I am sure

all group members would like to read. Lateral cutting will show the number of

seeds, not mukhis, thats all. NO. YOU ARE WRONG. YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE THE BEAD

IN TWO PARTS. YOU CAN SEE THE SEEDS AS WELL AS MUKHS. YOU CAN TURN THE BEAD

SLIGHTLY AND SEE THE CORRESPONDING MUKH AS WELL . IT IS VERY EASY. AHA, OKAY.

I cannot comment about the "Nirakar" bead, but I know that its name is not

ones? FROM OUTSIDE THEY ARE NOT TEMPERED. BUT ACTUALLY THERE GROWTH IS NOT

COMPLETE. OKAY The cost would be Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 NC(NEPALI CURRENCY).

Now here the difference is that on the site they are a bit refined one, more

good to look at. Thats all , but if cut laterally they will have 3 seeds or 4

seeds or 5 seeds. Believe me I am right because I have done it myself so I dont

need any credantials for any one. HA HA NO COMMENTS ON THIS ???? THERE WAS

NO REASON TO COMMENT THIS AS YOU ARE STATING THIS, BUT I AM GLAD IF I AMUSED

YOU It seems you are confusing the two beads shown at the Nepa rudraksha

site. My logic and conviction is beyond doubt. Pl be rest assured. I have done

my homework thoroughly before writing in this group. ??? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO

KNOW? Some more pics of the two bead will shortly be uploaded at the Open

Rudraksha Forum, courtesy by the owner and moderator of that forum. I am

sure with all this discussion the site person will not try to befool devotees

any more. That particular bead is still subject to investigation, contrary to

your premature conclusions. HE HAS TO TAKE IT OUT SOONER OR LATER. WATCH IT

YOURSELF.... TAKE IT OUT WHERE? I am informed that the One Mukhi round

shown at the site has its shape like three mukhi round nepali with only one

mukhi, the other mukhi is seen to be covered

so it has to be considered as one mukhi as well. It does not happen the way you

think. The energy source in any bead is the seed inside. So even if the mukhs

are covered naturally the bead continues to be equivalent to the number of

seeds inside. Its affect will be same as the no. of seeds inside. What you are

stating here is again not stated in ANY authentic rudraksha scripture and this

is of course NOT the proper way of identifying a bead, except for a botanical

investigation, so we can dismiss it. THIS WHAT YOU THINK. I AM WRITE I KNOW.

HMM, YOU ARE RIGHT, ALL THE RUDRAKSHA SCRIPTURES AND ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE IS

MISLEADING? Botanically it is not possible to have 1 mukhi round bead. I

again

reitreate that it has to be flat one and half moon shaped. Well, of course,

according to your own BOTANICAL logic, IF you ever encountered a TRUE 1 mukhi

round bead, you would either label it as a fake, diseased or a freak of nature,

but it would still be a TRUE 1 mukhi. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. IT CANNOT BE ROUND.

I AM NOT DENYING THAT 1 MUKHI DOES NOT EXIST, BUT WHAT I AM TELLING IS THAT I

MUKHI CANNOT BE ROUND IT WILL BE FLATTENED AND MORE LIKE A HALF MOON SHAPED

BEAD. BUT YOU PL PURCHASE ROUND ONE MUKHI OIF YOU EVER FIND FROM THE REPUTED

SITE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE FOR YOU IT WILL BE A GENUINE ROUND 1 MUKHI.

MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> It would be interesting to

know how many Nepali suppliers are there and what are their names? I dont

think this will matter in any way. I was merely interested in your insights in

this area. ??? IT IS NOT CLEAR? Also, what is the Katiyani Purana - an upa

purana? Where is it available? Write me a personal mail. I will tell the source

where you can get this. My aim is not to take the shelter of any site or any

person otherwise people will start linking my name with them. I dont see what

the big fuss is about this, but as you

wish. DO NOT BECOME A BROKER OF A SITE FOR PETTY GAINS. NEVER EVER LINK

YOURSELF TO ANY PARTICULAR SITE. AGAIN, I CAN ASSURE YOU I AM NOT DOING

THAT, I AM JUST A STUDENT OF RUDRAKSHA AND HAVE NO COMMERCIAL INTEREST, SO

PLEASE DO NOT PROJECT THAT ON ME. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME FOR SEVERAL

YEARS HERE AND ON OTHER RUDRAKSHA FORUMS. I WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE OPEN

RUDRAKSHA FORUM TO BE TOTALLY FREE OF VESTED COMMERCIAL INTEREST. DONT

MAKE EGO ISSUE JUST ACCEPT THAT KNOWLEDGE CAN BE GAINED FROM ANY BODY, AND YOU

DO NOT KNOW EVERY THING ABOUT RUDRAKSHAS. OH YES, I READILY ACCEPT THAT, I

NEVER CLAIMED I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT RUDRAKSHAS, SO PLEASE STOP THIS KIND OF

PROJECTION. I CONSIDER MYSELF STILL A STUDENT OF THIS

SUBJEST. THIS IS GREATNESS. OK. I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE CARE NEXT TIME. OF

COURSE Thanks, Siddharthacharya Ole BEST WISHES, SIDDHARTH SAME TO

.. We have never traded through our website in so called 1 mukhi round from

Nepal . Same I am compaigning through out our discussions. We have done

extensive X-rays on all mukhis which are in our records , which show clearly

that the seeds correspond to the number of mukhis . This is what I am telling

time and again but because of your adament nature you are not accepting it.

Sometimes the seeds are very close to each other , which makes them hard to

distinguish in X-rays Same I wrote Mr. Ole, Are you reading this ?? We also

have X-ray of the round beads from Nepal which have less developed mukhis in the

exterior making them seem mukhiless , and the X-rays show 5 seeds in them .

Same I wrote MR. OLE. We have been doing X-ray research in order to develop

a very convincing

method of distinguishing fake beads from real Maybe in coming future , we would

have success in this . Best wishesNeetaRudra

Centrehttp://www.rudraksha-ratna.com Thank you Mrs. Neeta, I am really

grateful to you for taking time and supporting me and doing good to other

devotees. In case this is Siddarth Mishra's followup reply, it is quite

obvious that he is not able to refute ANY of the arguments I presented. So to

my other fellow members, although I think this mail speaks for itself - please

do not be mislead by such empty word jugglery, please read very carefully each

of my points to Siddharth Mishra in my previous reply and you will see that I

have completely exposed his imaginary claims which he promotes as the absolute

truth. Mr. Ole can you write the same thing for Mrs. Neeta ??? Answer or

tender appology for writing such a bad language for a teacher. The group has

understood that there is no truth in your claims. So lets finish off this

discussion and do some thing constructive, Thanks Siddharth ----- Original

that beads should be examined and viewed like this, this is a modern concoction

only and you cannot refute this. Having said this I of course welcome any

research to establish higher standards of rudraksha exchange and distribution.

Finally, I appreciate SO much what Chandrashekharj has shared with us so far,

he has imho shown the way with his input in this discussion. Thanks to Aadi for

forwarding! Thanks, Ole Siddharth Mishra <sidhmis > wrote: Dear

CHENNAI: Like other consumer products, the market

for rudraksha beads faces the problem of spurious items, says

Panduranga Rao, Director, Indo-Nepal Rudraksha Organisation.

Addressing reporters at the inaugural of an

exhibition or sale of rudrakshas earlier this week, Mr. Rao said, "Many

rudrakshas available in the market are fake."

The rudrakshas are categorised according to the

number of divisions or lines found on them.

The Ekamukhi rudraksha, for instance, has one line

running across it.

And, when a rudraksha is horizontally cut into

two, the number of chambers or seeds seen is equal to the number of

lines running over it.

Mr. Rao heads a research team that works on

rudrakshas.

The exhibition at C.P. Art Foundation,

Alwarpet, which is open till February 23 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., will

also help the public to identify real and fake rudrakshas.

Rare pieces, including those with a single line to

those with 21 lines, are displayed at the exhibition.

Some are exclusive pieces that are available only

in Nepal.

The cost of pieces for sale range from 22 paise to

Rs.7 lakh.

Dear All,

A round Ekmukhi is present with the Son in Law of the home minister

of Rajasthan. It was gifted 20 years back. A Jain Sadhu visited his

place and gifted it to him.

I will try to get the photograph of this bead. According to him the

bead rotates while it is kept in hand.

I want to test his claims. One of my close friends who is in South

Africa had also seen a piece many years back. It was there with his

Guruji. According to him this bead used to rotate while kept in hand.

So many mouths and so many claims. I will try to find out the whole

truth related to ek Mukhi. I have also seen the photographs of the

bead on the website. It is not round first of all. Secondly the beads

like that are culutured in Haridwar. They are round and real. But

they are not natural and are available at the price of 2700 Rs

onwards.

I have seen lot of them. They too are not round.

Regards

Alok
