Rudraksha & Ratna Malas

[Guest guest]

Hi Dharma Deva Aryaji:

 

Yes I have been having lots of fun following the Inspiration of Sri Maha Ma

Saraswati & combining Rudrakshas with Gemstones for wrist and necklace japa

malas.

 

Thanking you bucketfuls for sharing the information just awhile back on the

Deities and the Gemstones because that was immensely helpful.

 

I had mentioned a while back that my heart connection to Rudrakshas deepened

once I started to approach each mukhi as the specific representation of the

Godhead

it is. This information is listed, as we all know in the books "Rudraksha and

Ratna" &

"Rudraksha Therapy"

 

Having some loose rudraksha beads there was this explosion of inspiration to

string them with the gemstone beads that correspond to the Deity of that

mukhi.

 

I have sold crystals and been a crystal therapist for almost 20 years and

received

Certification from a School in England as a Color Therapist over 10 years ago

so, I have a good solid background in gems and color that I can really fly

with all this!!

 

Anyway, I had all of the supplies already and did not have to go out to

purchase 1 bead to make the malas for each mukhi. :-)

 

I didn't want to mix the mukhi's. I wanted to make each mala a puja of gems

and color for each deity.

 

The effects have been quite extraordinary.

 

Have made mostly wrist malas and one necklace mala.

I find wrist malas are especially handy for doing japa in public places and

they are very wearable. Also give a visual reminder of the presence of God

with me.

 

Here's what I have come up with the last couple of Days.

 

3 Mukhi Lord Agni

 

Three 3 Mukhi Beads

 

I did not have Coral, so used instead: Carnelion and Goldstone, for they too

are akin to the Spiritual Fire of Yagna

I used a Yellow Cats Eye for the Manu Bead in Honor of Swaha, the Shakti of

Agni. (Being a Bhakta of the Devi, I had to)

 

With a lot of these, I used what I had. Just wanted to dive into the fun of

making them and putting them on & see what would happen to me instead of

stopping and shopping. But with the gem and color knowledge, all that I have

substituted are working beautifully.

 

will jump to 5 mukhi, cause energy works well with 3 Mukhi

 

5 Mukhi Lord Rudra Kalagni Guru

 

Didn't have any Citrine, so went instead with Yellow Amber and Yellow & White

Oynx.

The Oynx is nice as it qualities have alot of similarities to quartz, which

is closely linked to the Devi, so we need some room for the Shakti to live.

To me it also represents the pure state of the Guru

Also added a couple of Carnilion for the Kalagni Rudra Fire.

 

I am wearing the mala on my left wrist with the 3 mukhi on either side of the

nine bead 9mukhi Goddess Durga wrist mala

from Rudra center. Flows beautifully energetically and Shri Durgaji and all

the Nava Devis seem to enjoy the company

 

4 Mukhi Lord Brahma

 

Not having some loose emeralds lying around collecting dust, I used the green

gem, adventurine.

I also added white and clear quartz, representing the vastness and boundless

nature of Lord Brahma.

4 and 6 mukhi are used in Saraswati malas and since crystal belongs to the

Devi, I wanted to add.

 

6 Mukhi Lord Kartikeya/ Venus

Sphatik quartz is substitute for Diamonds. I used clear, milky and rose pink

quartz

 

As written in the scriptures, malas of these two mukhi's are to be worn on

right wrist.

 

Seeing that I was starting to run out of arm space, there was one mukhi left

and that was 7mukhi that is Anag Shiva and Shri Maha Lakshmi, so I made a

beautiful 54 bead mala to wear around neck.

 

There are two 7mukhi beads at center. Between them is a beautiful amethyst

pendant sent in 24k Gold. The gembeads that form the mala are made from

quartz, amethyst, and lavender cats eye. It really looks wonderful.

 

I used the beads themselves as spacers. 8mm size.

Also found some of those wonderfuls flowers that Neetaji has to surround

beads. I used Gold plated.

The combination of the flower fillers and the different colored beads make

the pieces look very rich and elegant.

 

Today I went out and found some inexpensive amethyst and citrine pendants

that would work between a couple of rudraksha beads and would be very

appropriate for a man how may not want so many gem beads.

 

The malas would also look good with just one kind of stone too.

Would also be a nice touch to just add a couple of stones to a punch mukhi

mala.

 

 

What I am finding is the Rudraksha's are most definately amplifying the

properties of the stones, without a doubt.

 

I think that there is an artistic quality to these that will attract people

who know nothing about rudrakshas.

 

On a deeper spiritual level, it brings in the lanquage of light which is an

attribute of the Shining Ones and Lord Shiva.

The Lord creates with sound which are the mantras and devangari alphabet, but

there is always the element of Light, which we perceive as color, which are

in the gem stones... cool, eh?

 

So that's all for now until I get more beads ;-)

 

Having Fun at Rudra Center Heartland...

Kanti

Om Namah Shivaya

PS Dharma Devaji: Its on my things to do list to dig up the reference to

Kusha Grass in Bhagavad Gita. Just haven't found it yet (and have been

playing with all these devas in the beads !)
