Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Dear Blessed Brother Thomasji, Pranaaams. I must have misunderstood your question A bead that has a trunklike protrusion, no matter how many faces it has, is a Ganesh Rudraksha (although it shares the same name with the 8 mukhi). For your bead of 10 facets with a trunk, imvhmo the Ganapati mantra should be used first, then the 10 mukhi bija mantra if you wish. It is a highly auspicious bead as you then have the best of both worlds: Lord Ganesha's grace and that of the 10 mukhi's blessings. No I don't see your concern as being nitpicking, far from it. Its wise to be sure of something before we proceed. Though I must add that each individual's relationship with and worship of rudraksha is a personal matter. One can stay with what is according to holy scriptures or improvise according to requirements within reason. Sounding rather eclectic here but tis very much your ole humble Sy: if we don't try, we never know From my heart, I don't feel that the gods and goddesses will punish a sincerely devoted person trying to reach out to them. As we journey along, new experiences and awarenesses will come to pass. Again imvho, its what works for us individually that should matter, not what everybody else does or says because no two persons are the same nor do they share similar karmas, destinies and inner processes. Hope I make sense.. "There are innumerable paths but all lead to the summit" (a good friend named "Yogi" used to say this to me). I believe everyone is blessed individually. What one has, another lacks so the blessings from the gods are distributed evenly according to their discretions. If the gods should bless a person with everything, then there will be no leela, no maya, no existence, no Maa-Earth where we slog off karmas and evolve The worst is "no evolvement", ouch! the darned heavy stapler has just hit my poor lil foot.....scampering off for now. Serves me right for being longwinded! Om Namah Shivaya Many blessings, Sy , primas@b... wrote: > Thank you, dear Syji, for sharing this.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Thank you, warmhearted Syji, that was very nice (except the oouch part of course) and I feel nourished by your words. I will proceed as you proposed with the 10mukhi Ganesh bead. "... will be no leela, no maya, no existence, no Maa-Earth"... ....and no longing for God, the lover and granter and blesser which is hiding Himself/Herself from the cold eye but giving Himself/Herself freely to the warm and longing heart. Karma may be, but isn't that the gift to be here, to find our own warm and longing heart? Sending blessings to your foot!
