Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Lately I have been wearing about 20 strands of 5 faced beads during meditation and talk about samadhi. It's like on the bone level of silence. I really can't describe the experience. In Tibet Shiva is called Lha Chen. He is a protector deity of the Nyingmapa school. From Himalayan Art Co Website: "Bright red in colour with one face and two hands he is slightly fierce with three eyes and partially exposed canine teeth. The right hand holds upraised a hook, ornate and red, in the shape of an elephant goad decorated with jewels. The left holds outstretched an engorged red phallus and gold lasso. Adorned with a crown of gold and jewels, earrings and necklace he wears an orange and yellow scarf and a long garland of red flowers. The consort in similar appearance holds up a gold vase in the right hand and a mirror in the left, the shoulders covered with a blue scarf. Standing above a sun and moon disc atop a red lotus blossom they are surrounded by the subdued orange flames of pristine awareness. Arranged in front are rows of variously coloured wishing jewels, precious objects and bolts of cloth presented as an auspicious offering. " I bring this up because of some qualities which mirror the actions of rudraksha and which can be understood through symbolism. The three eyes are of course symbolic of nondual samadhi, the hook draws together the mind towards one pointedness, the phallus is symbolic of the spiritual white dhatu called soma or amrita, the lasso pulls together the three gunas and in this way creates unity and a supportive enviroment. These same things are qualities of the rudraksha. I don't think there can be any question that rudraksha expand the experience of samadhi. I don't much feel right now like talking about kundalini, nadis, ojas, etc, but I can say this, that one's channels of awareness open and purify about a thousand times easier when wearing rudraksha. There's really no words to explain this to someone who hasn't connected. Good luck. May you buy many powerful strands of rudraksha and engage the awakened state. BTW, how do they work? They emit an energy that the body can read which is just a bit higher in frequency than the living physiology so that over time the nervous system feels strengthened and nourished. That's it! Simple. The more you wear the more higher the body's energy is. Why? They're a gift from the Auspicious One. Remember, those who choose, are the chosen ones. Choose to grow in light and be chosen by light.
