Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Namaste all, Someone has came back to me with a 3 mukhi silver capped bead which has a dusty looking faint mould growing on it. Does anyone have an idea what this is and why it is present? The person insists that they have taken good care of their bead (and I do believe them)and that the bead has only ever got a bit wet the once. I have also been able to rule out perfume and body sprays. Thoughts and insights are appreciated! Thanking you all, Om Shanti Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Namaste, I have seen the same kind of a mound on the first bead of my rudhraksha jaap mala (108 beads) that I use for meditation everyday.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Dear Neil only time have seen actual mould on a bead was in a humid atmosphere of India......almost anything will mould or mildew in a humid atmosphere.......depending on the situation...........take a soft toothbrush and brush bead in soapy water and then rinse in clean water and then dry.........then oil bead.......a well oiled bead usually will not allow mould to take place.......one reason we use mustard oil as it is also considered an insect repellent Thanks DharmaDev In a message dated 1/1/2005 9:03:12 AM Pacific Standard Time, Trikashaivism writes: > > > > > Namaste all, > > Someone has came back to me with a 3 mukhi silver capped bead which > has a dusty looking faint mould growing on it.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Namaste DharmaDevji, Thank you for your response. To my knowledge the bead has been kept dry and is kept within a dry environment, but did get a bit wet one time (nothing excessive like a bath or shower). I will certainly be sure to give the bead a good clean and oiling. Don't have any mustard oil, usually use a sandalwood-jojoba mix which works very well and smells heavenly. Thanking you, Om Shanti Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Dear Neil, "Om Guru NamahOm Namah Shiva" I note with interest the general advice to oil Rudraksh beads and note especially your comment that the oil mix you use, i.e. Sandalwood and jojoba has a heavenly smell and wonder if you have ever noticed the natural kushboo that the Rudraksh bead releases all of its own accord and independent of everything else? I would very much welcome your comments and of course of all of those far more learned than me as to the remarkable phenomenon. With thanks and best wishes for the New Year to all.
