hello everyone, i'm new here/Welcome!

[Guest guest]

Dear Allen,

 

Warmest welcome to yourself and other new members to our "cyber

rudraksha home"! Thank you for introducing yourself and also for

your good wishes to everyone. Much appreciated and highly honored to

have you here with us.

 

Congratulations about your upcoming "Rite of Passage" in having

Rudraksha enter your life Pardon me friends as this is a repeat

of what has been said many times by Sri DharmaDev, Kantiji and

others: Rudraksha find their own homes, not the other way round. I

think its the Shiva Purana that says along the lines of "The

instinct to wear rudraksha is due to blessings from previous

births".

 

As sacred objects and of "God", Rudrakshas guides us along as we

wear them and gradually assimilate with their energies and vice

versa. It's quite akin to a "getting to know each other process".

Please erase all anxiety regarding the handling and care of

Rudraksha. In the first place, one of the things that rudrakshas

do, is take away anxieties and fears. Even seasoned rudraksha

sadhaks may at times learn something new each day

 

It is not necessary to apologise for asking questions. We are all

happy to share if we happen to know the answers. Ask away and

someone or several wonderful friends are bound to answer them

whenever they come online. Each of us know different things so

there is pool in diversity here (I love it and everyone too). From

time to time we regurgitate information, but with pleasure of

course, if it is of interest or important to someone.

 

When it comes to wearing malas, it is largely a matter of personal

preference. At times due to seasonal and temperature changes, it is

difficult to wear large malas, for example in the heat of hot, humid

summers. But there are sadhaks who wear them continuously

nevertheless.

 

If due to professional and certain circumstances when one may not

feel comfortable about wearing a big mala under a collared shirt, it

is fine carrying the mala in a pouch. Lord Shiva is more

understanding than we realize When scriptures neither sanctify

nor forbid something, it means an individual may apply his or her

discretion, instincts or strong calling, etc. as he/she sees

appropriate. Listen carefully to the "Inner Guru" and wallah! you

can't go wrong. At least this is my very humble two cents' worth..

 

Again speaking from very humble experiences, it is acceptable to

either wear or carry a mala in a pouch, preferably of a natural

fiber so the malas can "breathe" and you can breathe too. There is

no offence in either. It is good personal intent, sincere thought

and devotion that counts.

 

When one assimilates with his/her rudraksha and then carries them in

a pouch from time to time, the "bond" remains regardless.

Rudrakshas contain electromagnetic and paramagnetic properties,

etc. -- this I hope you'd have also read on the website. When one

wears them or have them near the person, it is like having God/dess

round the neck or around us, very nearby. No, their efficacy and

shakti do not diminish like this. When your mala arrives, it should

come with a booklet containing relevant information. An exciting

time ahead for you! Wishing you every joy and success.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Best regards

Sy
