Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Namaste Chandrashekharji, Bless you eternally! Looking forward very much to seeing your 11 mukhi black rudraksha. May I enquire where you obtained it from? Mainly curiosity and a thirst to learn more about aspects of rudrakshas that I don't know about. Hope you would indulge me, thank you kindly.
