What if rudraksha rule broken unaware

[Guest guest]

Dear Lada,

 

What Lord Shiva does or does not do does not apply to us. The

Rudraksajabalopanisad states that "A man wearing Rudraksas should neither

drink wine nor eat onion, garlic, meat, etc." The "tiger" skin was the skin

from Lord Nrsimha (Vishnu), and since Lord Shiva loved Lord Vishnu dearly,

one must consider that Lord Shiva wore the skin of Lord Nrsimha lovingly. In

the same way, I have read (although not in the scriptures--it was in a

message posted from a club devoted to the worship of Lord Shiva) that Lord

Shiva held snakes to give them protection because they were hated by the

population.

I do not know whether this last reference is true. You must not consider

Lord Shiva who is full of love with hunters who are full of hate.
