To Hansraj (Ladies can wear rudraksha)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Hansraj,

 

It is good that yourself and your wife have been wearing the

rudraksha malas that were recommended for you by Rudra Centre.

Continue to wear them with unshakable faith and recite the Beej

Mantras 108 times each day.

 

Most respectfully:

-----------------

Do not let the Brahmin priest whom you saw at the temple, sway you

or give you doubts about ladies wearing rudraksha. It was very

unnecessary on his part to advice on a subject and ancient science

that he is ignorant about and has not studied. In this case, I can

only see "Ego"on his part. It is most likely that he is

a "ceremonial master" as a priest or pujari and householder himself,

not much more.

 

Does he know about rudraksha? Is he a rudraksha sadhak? Has he done

successful penance to Lord Shiva? Does he himself in his home shrine

have rudraksha? Has he read the Shiv Purana, Padma Purana,

RudrakshaJapalopanishad and Srimad Devi Bhagavatam?

 

There are no taboos about women wearing rudraksha. All on earth can

wear rudraksha. The instinct to wear or worship rudraksha is a sign

of blessing by Lord Shiva during preceeding births (this is quoted

in one of the ancient scriptures).

 

Btw, is the priest of any Shaivite lineage? There is no Shiva

without Shakti. By the same token, there is no Shakti without Shiva.

Hence Shiva and Shakti are "One" and "The Same". They are two sides

of the same coin : The Ultimate Supreme God/dess.

 

This particular priest is seeing Duality in his samsara, hence he

differentiates between men and women. All rudrkasha beads constain

Deva and Devi. There are beads representing Shiva, Parvati,

Ganapati, Lakshmi, Durga, Hanuman, Vishnu, Maa Kali, the 10

MahaVidyas, Matrikas, etc. Since the beads also represent Devi or

Shakti, this means women can wear rudraksha. Lord Shiva does not

discrimminate betweeen men and women, caste, race, religion, color

or background. God is available to all who aspire. So is Rudraksha.

 

Hope this helps clear your doubts.

We are childless and were recommended the appropriate mala. We have

been wearing the mala since then.

happened to see the mala on my wife's neck. He asked me if it was an

original mala and I replied "yes". He advised that ladies arent

supposed to wear rudraksha mala. Rudraksha is a symbol of Lord Shiva

and shouldnt be worn by ladies.
