Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 The question about vashikarana and yantras brought up a good question about the function of 13 mukhi RR beads. That is, could they help bring back a partner after break up. The answer is no. The reason is that RR beads are manifestations of Shiva, as the God of Self Improvement. Self improvement is movement in the direction of greatest self sufficiency, and freedom from all limitations, even those which seem necessary like intense emotional relationships. Intense relationships, even where marriage was the purported goal, are not eternal, though good partnerships may last for a long time and even for many lifetimes, or yes, maybe even for hundreds or thousands of lifetimes. But they aren't eternal, and usually when one thinks, "They're my soulmate!" Or some other highly charged emotional response then it's really just a narcissistic self centered projection on the other person, in which case the relationship doesn't even exist but rather what does exist is just one's own imagination. In which case furthermore, what one is imagining is just some component of one's own self. In other words one is in love with oneself. Then the separation from the desired person is a blessing because you can now have an opportunity to find the desired qualities as part of your own persona, and not as "out there" somewhere in some other person. The quality of RR beads, their greatest quality is a sense of fulfillment, that just wearing them brings to the otherwise discontented mind. This is the next best thing to just being perfectly fine all by yourself. In tantra, one does yoga on a deity and learns to see that being everywhere in order to be liberated from ones own faults and habits - samskaras. One unifies with some deity to be removed from samskara or the endless cycle of bvirth and death, ie. change. RR beads are an easy way to maintain a higher identity throughout the day, by being in intimate contact with the chosen deity, who is revealed in the bead. It's a holy fetish of the Lord, if you will. The main purpose of which is to break up old negative life patterns, and bring better more beneficial karmas. In this way they are agents of salvation. The 13 mukhi bead should bring one the sense of fulfillment that exists inherently in one's own being. Yes, love can work like tantra. One can live a better life while engaged in higher emotional patterns. Perhaps if it is necessary then the 13 mukhi bead can clear what bad habits stand in the way of a real relationship. But Shiva is all about self sufficiency. I'll tell you this. The urge to dominate the partner which would give rise to the performance of vashikarana is probably the same ignorant drive and controlling tendency which drove the other person away in the first place. They say if you love it let it go. And holding a pretty flower too tight will destroy it. Enlightenment is worship of the feminine as the primordial state of self generated wisdom, that is, consciousness birthing awareness of itself as consciousness. The entire process is summed up in the samyama of Patanjali. That is to say, consciousness focuses on something. The point of focus when consciousness itself is Shiva. Consciousness focuses, and releases to come back on itself. This, while Shiva, is also Adiparashakti, the fullest version of self engendered satchidananda. The words don't well describe this union. However the point is that sahaj samadhi is the state of eternal self union of the buddhi in oneness. This is the state of fulfillment, and is the goal of the 13 mukhi bead. To that end, it is said they give 8 siddhis, and work on chemistry of body, producing soma, ojas, which supports unity consciousness. On the other hand, second to self union is union with another. So the dividing line is close regarding where true fulfillment lies. But this doesn't mean that wearing 13 mukhi beads will work like vashikarana. Vashikarana is working some lower tantra within some emotional and astral realms, realms pretty much destroyed in yogis. I have it that the astral and even causal bodies dissolve as ones karmas get burned through higher yogas and realizations. The most profound doctrines of tantra, the atiyoga tantras can transmute the physical body into lights. Rudraksha only come to them who have ceased to function in the astral and desire planes. Because they will only destroy those levels of the mind. I've said it before, if you just want to do black magic then do not wear RR, because it will destroy your ignorance faster than a gun. For those involved with yoga, RR are the greatest blessing because they draw the mind back to itself again and again quicker than when it's on its own. They therefore support faster growth towards enlightenment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
