Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Friend Have never heard of this either however would like to know where his specific statement can be found and if it is printed in a book so we can look at this further Also there are many different types of Malas so am wondering what type of Mala he might be referring to The Rudraksa Malas are great to sleep with if you have a choker design so they dont get tangled during the night really dont see a reason why a person would not wear the day mala to sleep at night so it would be good to know more about the reasoning supporting Dr Lads statement Thanks and Take Care My Friend DharmaDev ksnasat <gduboe <gduboe <> Thursday, January 23, 2003 4:51 PM nighttime mala Dr. Lad has said not to sleep with the mala that you use for daytime use, but to use a separate one for night. I don't remember why he said so, but I do remember this. Does anyone know about this? Sponsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Namaste Gail: My own personal experience has been just the opposite. Instead of heavy dark energy contaminating the rudraksha at nite, have found that the rudraksha, being in essence a manifestation of pure light..raise and lift energy field..during the night as well as during the day. Person bonds with the beads very quickly due to the electro magnetic field of the beads and also I believe because the rudraksha are plant matter. This bonding creates a very powerful and harmonious interaction between wearer and mala...that really does not change based on time of day. Except in cases where mala is uncomfortable to sleep, I have never seen a need to wear a separate mala. Perhaps others in the Group may have some insights. Thanks for finding that quote, but do not know what the basis is for Dr. Lad coming to these conclusions. Om Namah Shivaya.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Friend Namaskar and Thank you for your message Is not necessary and is not healthy to have ghosts or spirits live in your home. Is best for all concerned to respectfully redirected them to their proper and correct plane of consciousness and this is good for them because part of any unfinished business is finding their way to their new home on their next plane of existence >From Thomas Ashley-Farrands book Healing Mantras This Mantra commands that spirits or beings who are not in their proper place return to their correct plane of consciousness Aum Apasarpantu Tae Bhuta Yei Buta Bhuvi Samstitaha Yei Bhuta Vigna Kartara Stei Gachantu Shiva Ajnaya May the spirits that are haunting this area leave and never return by the order of Shiva Am not able to agree with what Dr Lad has said regarding wearing different Malas at night because his reasons do not align with what is known # 1 all night energies are not Tamasic Definition of Tamas is inertia the innate impulse to remain the same Ayurveda clearly teaches there are Master Cycles in each 24 hour day. There are two major life cycles a human body goes through each day that include the gunas and doshas. Different three hour cycles take place from sunrise to sunset and sunset to sunrise The Second Major Cycle from 6 PM to 10 PM and starts with a Kapha Cycle however from 10 PM to 2 AM a Pitta Cycle manifests and then from 2 AM to 6 AM a Vatta cycle manifests Sleep during times of Pitta and Vata Cycles is not Tamasic These same ebbing and flowing cycles manifest during the daytime hours so at any given time dureing the day the wearer is also wearing during a cycle of Sattva Rajas or Tamas # 2 In addition Dr Lads statements regarding seperation of day Malas from night Malas is not mentioned in any of the Holy Books read to date so am not able to agree with what he is telling people about this either What is actually said in the Siva Purana makes no distinction between day and night Malas Siva Purana states People of all varnas and asramas even women and Sudras can wear Rudraksa at the bidding of Siva. The ascetics shall wear it with the Pranava If anyone wears it during the day he is freed from sins committed dureing the night and if he wears it during the night he is freed from all the sins committed dureing the day. Similar is the result with its wearing during morning mid day or evening # 3 Takeing all this into consideration and from personal experience I would much rather wear any Jap Mala or Day Mala at night that I have Meditated with or Chanted with chanted due to obvious reasons. The Rudraksa and the Mala as a complete circuit are Empowered with the Mantra and this is a major reason to wear your daytime Malas at night. Correct me if am incorrect in understanding comments relayed from Dr Lads discussion however he seems to think the Holy Rudraksa have certain limitations and can only deal with certain energy in certain ways and at certain times of the day and this limited thinking on his part specific to the Holy Rudraksa is incorrect. Specific to the Laws of Nature and the Teachings of Ayurveda his comments dont make sense to me because the Holy Rudraksa are Boundless in Nature Would be pleased to reccomend to anyone that wearing your daytime Mala to sleep at night is a most proper method of wearing and extremely effective in processing the different energies experienced dureing sleep I think this subject matter would make for a lively discussion between Dr Lad and myself and would look forward to speaking with him about this some day in the future if our paths ever meet Thank You and Take Care My Friend DharmaDev ksnasat <gduboe <gduboe <> Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:47 AM nighttime mala To complete my thought on the nighttime mala, in a spiritual healing seminar from 1996, Dr. Lad said specifically have one mala to sleep with and one to wear during the daytime because the energy that will be transmitted to the mala at night will be very tamasic (heavy, inert) and it would be better not to combine the energies that happen to your body at night with the ones that affect it during the day.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Freinds Made a mistake in a sentence in a recent message Stated........ there are different 3 hour cycles from sunset to sunrise and then sunrise to sunset This is incorrect and needs to be changed to....... there are 3 different 4 hour cycles from sunrise 6:00 AM to sunset 6:00 PM and then again from sunset 6:00 PM to sunrise 6:00 AM Thanks and Take Care My Friends DharmaDev ShiningLotus <shininglotus <> Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:33 PM Re: nighttime mala Dear Friend Namaskar and Thank you for your message Is not necessary and is not healthy to have ghosts or spirits live in your home.
