Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Vanakkam Mahesh, Agree with Sis Kariji in her answers to you. Please feel free to ask questions any time. We are here to assist one another with information. Would now humbly recommend 2, 4, or 6 of the Five mukhi beads on each side of the mala with one silver pendalled Ek-mukhi as pendant in your case. 2, 4 or 6 beads of Five mukhi are for "balance" or balancing this particular mala combination. For the mala to hang well, they should be capped with silver or panchdhatu which looks like gold. The mala is like this if using 2 beads of Five mukhi and one bead of Ek-mukhi: 5m 5m 5m 5m 1 mukhi Above the 5 mukhi collector-sized beads, some small 5 mukhis can be used for forming the entire mala. For phone numbers in the U.S. please go to the website www.rudraksha- ratna.com At the top righthand corner, there is a link for "Distributors". Click this and you will find the phone numbers for Sri DharmaDev Arya and many others in America. Rudra Centre are able to custom-make designs that you want. This is what we do when making Personal Malas or Synergistic Combinations. Your second asked if you can have only 1 of each mukhi. The answer is yes. Agree with Kariji that there is no wrong combinations for rudraksha and no harmful effects. Rudraksha are different from Ratna. The Tears of Lord Shiva (rudraksha) do not have negative effects on a person. When using Ratna it is best to consult as Jyotishi for appropriate gem remedies. Your third question: -------------------- Generally small beads are used for making japa malas as big beads are too chunky round the neck unless one wears a uniform-sized Kantha Mala all round. In wearing Personal Mala or Synergistic Combinations for remedying invidual situations, a combination of small and big beads are used. Small beads form the mala, big beads form the "power pendants" segment of the mala. Entire mala is worn against the skin. Yes generally the bigger and higher mukhis are for curing illness such as "Water Beads" for blood pressure and cholesterol. These Water Beads are put in a glass of water after sunset and drunk the next morning on an empty stomach. Question 4: ---------- As time is not a luxury that I have at my disposal, morning and night worship utilizes the "Mahamrityunjaya Mantra" with the sampat syllables before and after. Every now and then, there are sadhanas when time permits. Please visit the site Kariji found for you and have a look at the puja and mantras there. Question 5: ---------- Removing or wearing the mala to bed is a matter of personal preference as mentioned by Kariji. Some people do and some don't. I don't. It is best to let your intuition guide you. It is the Inner Guru, listen to it as it knows your requirements better than anyone outside Tatt Twam Asi Best regards, Simone , "kmahesh0" <kmahesh0> wrote: > Thank you Simone for your kind suggestion and help. > > I have few more follow-up questions: > > 1.
