Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Namaste to all, I have a query. Hope someone will help me. I have a mala of Rudraksha in a Red Thread purchased from Rudra centre Mumbai, India.This contains total 13 Holy Rudraksha Beads. While going to sleep I put the mala around the photo of Lord Shiv. However if I want to place it below my pillow so that it remains under my head all the time when I am sleeping during night: 1. will it damage the beads due to pressure of the head, friction or due to movement of my head during sleep. 2.What precautions should I take while keeping it below the pillow while sleeping etc 3. I also wear a gold chain. Sometimes while taking out the Holy Rudraksha mala from my neck the Rudraksha Mala gets tangled with the Gold chain which I fear may damage the beads.Can somebody advice me how to tackle this? An early reply will be highly appreciated Best Regards and Pranaams D.Mehtani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I can't tell you how to keep your mala secured under your pillow. But, I often sleep wearing my beads. The beads are very hard. Rolling on them will not hurt them. Nor will your chains hurt them, because they are harder than the gold.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 BTW-- The mala tangling with chains won't hurt the beads, but it might eventually break the thread. Some of us restring on wire with spacers to solve that problem.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Namaste all, Even I go to sleep with my mala and my mala also gets entangled with the gold chain that I wear... but that has never bothered me because I love my rudraksha so much that can't I find a min or two untangle it...this happens daily..and I don't worry about it. Luckily, like Kari has pointed out that it might damage the thread.. so you may go for restringing in silver or gold. Silver is okay as you might find the gold spacers a bit costly but there are some believers that 12 mukhi should be capped with gold only.. wonder what the truth is but Rudraksha is good for ever; I have asked many people and read many books but no one says that rudraksha is harmful.. say like a gemstone...another thing about rudraksha is that you wear it but don't forget to pray to lord Shiva...anyway you prefer...even thinking of him will benefit you..

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I have read that capping twelve mukhi on gold is good, but silver is also good, if gold cannot be afforded. My 12 mukhi is strung on silver, with silver flowers and sphatik, on a choker. But, people who string 12 mukhi on thread also report excellent results. So, I think it's a matter of personal preference. I have strung my choker and wrist malas on sterling wire. Sterling wire is both too malleable and too stiff for my long, 108 bead malas. So, I use metal beading cable (which is braided fine steel, with, I think, nylon coating), with sterling end caps and flowers. You can also simply continue to use the thread. If it breaks, restringing with fresh thread is a nice meditation. Just remember to tie knots between the beads. Yes, wearing and using the beads is a great comfort, isn't it? It's like having Lord Shiva very near. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Namaste I remove my malas, i have one 7,8,12 mukhi in red thread capped with silver and another 5 mukhis capped in silver 54 in no. So I remove them and place in in my pooja near the shiv linga and the go for sleep,It is better not to wear them during sleep and also when one is having bath.On can wear it in the morning after bath and pooja(small pooja --like just lighting the lamp or camphor etc) or a long pooja ,when one has time like on holidays or weekends.This energises the beads repeatedly and it also helps us in the routine of offering pooja to lord shiva everyday. Friends do get back to me on ur views and any new suggestions regards vipin Jamini Padhi <jamini_padhi wrote: Namaste all, Even I go to sleep with my mala and my mala also gets entangled with the gold chain that I wear... but that has never bothered me because I love my rudraksha so much that can't I find a min or two untangle it...this happens daily..and I don't worry about it.
