Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Somewhere back someone mentioned that wearing rudrakshas won't remove sins, but I'd have to disagree: If you take the perspective that our actions are stored in the subtle parts of our mind (aura) then certain actions and items may help to remove or burn away the non-fixed sins (papas) just like astrological remedies can lessen or remove non-fixed bad karma. Many religions have certain rituals that one can go through to be cleansed of all sins, although many times it does depend on the person's faith (the belief that it's possible): 1-Muslims--praying the Haaj (holy pilgrimage) according to the rules, supposedly cleans oneself of all sin 2-Christians--baptism removes sins; in earlier times people would wait till later in life to be baptized so they could have lots of fun and then have their slate wiped clean 3-Catholics--praying at certain pilgrimage sites, such as entering St. Michael's Cave with faith and a pure heart, will remove all sins. Similar reduction of sin's effects can be done at various other sites, following certain procedures and praying certain prayers 4-Hindus--Ganges River: Those who bathe, with faith, will be cleansed of all sins. But just because one is cleansed of sin, doesn't mean you won't accrue it before you die. In other words, the wise person will be extra careful after going through one of the above processes of cleansing. I can't remember where I read it, but I like the example of rudrakshas acting like a lighting rod for a house. As you experience bad karma (due to the planets), wearing rudrakshas on various parts of your body, helps to absorb/deflect the brunt of the force. just my thoughts, tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Namaste There is not one sin that the Rudrakshas will not remove - now this does not give one the right to commit these acts - these sacred objects will not come into the lives of those that do not deserve them and their Blessings.
