Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 I donot want to go into argument on the electromagnetic qualities of Rudraksha. All I can say is that it has been proved thru research in ITBHU(a very reputed university) Supporting scientific evidence for these statements are found in the published research papers of Mr. D. Suhas Roy (et.al) of the Indian Institute of Technology ( IT-BHU ) Banaras, India, describing the beneficial powers of Rudraksha by virtue of its electrical and magnetic properties that affect our central nervous system, autonomic, sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems and various other organ systems. Mr. D. Suhas Roy and a group of scientists proved that wearing Rudraksha controlled heart beat and had a positive effect on blood pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, palpitations and lack of concentration.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Dear Sir, Thanks for the informative post. Just for anyone who wishes to pursue more in-depth study on how Rudrashka can help in curing diseases, some people in IIT -mumbai have done extensive research on the healing properties of rudraksha. Sir, the subject heading states rudraksha alternative to gems, so does it give the same degree of effects as gems, could other members who have had some effects after wearing of rudraksha state their experience. Do the classics mentions about the benefits of rudrakshas. Oh, just now i saw another post from you, yes the documents that i had seen from IIT mumbai research leader was very detailed in the bio electric or biomangetic qualities (I dont know what is the appropriate term) of rudraksha and how it can help heart patients and blood pressure patients. Could someone pls tell me how to identify a genuine rudraksha. I have heard of some methods but confirmation from learned members would be beneficial. Also some books mention that before wearing the rudraksha, its particular mantra has to be recited , is this true.

All I can say is that it has been proved thru research in ITBHU(a very reputed university) Supporting scientific evidence for these statements are found in the published research papers of Mr. D. Suhas Roy (et.al) of the Indian Institute of Technology ( IT-BHU ) Banaras, India, describing the beneficial powers of Rudraksha by virtue of its electrical and magnetic properties that affect our central nervous system, autonomic, sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems and various other organ systems. Mr. D. Suhas Roy and a group of scientists proved that wearing Rudraksha controlled heart beat and had a positive effect on blood pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, palpitations and lack of concentration. 12.0pt;font-family:Verdana'> AUTOTEXTLIST \s "E-mail Signature" 12.0pt;font-family:Verdana'> Archives: vedic astrologyGroup info: vedic astrology/info.htmlTo UNSUBSCRIBE: Blank mail to vedic astrology-.......

Just for anyone who wishes to pursue more in-depth study on how Rudrashka can help in curing diseases, some people in IIT -mumbai have done extensive research on the healing properties of rudraksha. Sir, the subject heading states rudraksha alternative to gems, so does it give the same degree of effects as gems, could other members who have had some effects after wearing of rudraksha state their experience. Do the classics mentions about the benefits of rudrakshas. Oh, just now i saw another post from you, yes the documents that i had seen from IIT mumbai research leader was very detailed in the bio electric or biomangetic qualities (I dont know what is the appropriate term) of rudraksha and how it can help heart patients and blood pressure patients. Could someone pls tell me how to identify a genuine rudraksha. I have heard of some methods but confirmation from learned members would be beneficial. Also some books mention that before wearing the rudraksha, its particular mantra has to be recited , is this true.

It contains every color & shade in the rainbow & usually extends 2-5 inches from the body. Its colors textures & patterns reveal much information about emotional, mental physical, spiritual, karmic, environmental & relational states. An Aura is like a thumb print, it is completely individual & expresses who you really are in all your splendor. Rudraksh Bead have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Dynamic Polarity or the ability to change its polarity. Rudraksh also have Anti Ageing Properties based on their Electromagnetism. When Rudraksha Beads are worn they interface and integrate with the Human Body at a silent subtle level of Consciousness. Due to their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties the Rudraksha Beads initiate and effect positive change in the Bio Electrical System of the Human Body in a life supporting manner. As a result of this change in the electrical makeup of our body, positive change is also initiated in our Bio Chemical System. There are no compulsions to wear a specific bead of Rudraksh as one can wear the combination of all beads and One can also wear a pendant of any specific facet of beads or a mix of different facet of beads as rudraksh do not have any negative effects unlike Gems , which can cause a greater level of harm if wrongly. Human body is basically a Bio Electronic circuit, blood circulation, the transmission of various impulses and the continuous movement of Neurons and Neurotransmitters in the brain generates electrical impulses which is know as Bioelectricity. It is believed and proved that Rudraksh beads have certain Electromagnetic and Inductive properties and when worn over the heart they send out corresponding signals differing for different mukhis to the brain, activating or controlling certain brain chemicals and neurotransmitters thereby inducing states of mind as described in ancient scriptures. For example the mental agitation's and Dopamine levels (Increased amount of Dopamine cause over activity of neurons resulting in mental agitation, restlessness, tension, fear lack of control etc. conversely decreased levels of Dopamine, result in peace, tranquility, stability etc.) of those who wore 5 mukhi Rudraksh was found to be less and the serotinin levels (low levels of Serotinin, one such neurotransmitter cause depression, worry, lack of energy, low self esteem and higher levels of it causes happiness, energy, drive, high levels of confidence and self esteem etc. )of those who wore 1 mukhi and 12 mukhi Rudraksh bead was found to be high. The activity of neurons in the right part of the brain was found to be high in the wearer of 14 mukhi Rudraksh bead (right part of the brain control abstract and lateral thinking as against logical and structure thinking of left part of brain). This perhaps is the reason behind the change in personality and attitudes of the wearer of different types of Rudraksh beads. When the persons gets a positive confident frame of mind the impact goes deep into his subconscious mind sending out powerful vibrations there by changing the way nature and others react to him/her. Rudraksha beads act as a Stabilizing newscaster, which can control the bio electronic circuit of our body. Rudraksha beads also have Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic properties with the most important property of Dynamic Polarity. Rudraksh beads have the properties of Magnets but it is unparallel in one aspect, that of the ability to change it's polarity or the Property of Dynamic Polarity. Medically it has been proved that Rudraksh has very powerful Anti Ageing properties because of the Dynamic Polarity of the Rudraksha a bead thus the healing powers of Rudraksha are far superior to that of Magnets. In some sense Rudraksha beads can be termed to have some additional life or Intelligence as against Magnets. margin-left:38.5pt;border:none;mso-border-left-alt:solid blue 1.0pt;padding: 0in;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 3.0pt"> "Courier New";color:black"> || Om Tat Sat || Sarvam Sri Krishnaarpanamastu || Your use of Groups is subject to the Terms of Service. mso-color-alt:windowtext"> windowtext"> "Courier New";color:black"> || Om Tat Sat || Sarvam Sri Krishnaarpanamastu || Your use of Groups is subject to the Terms of Service. mso-color-alt:windowtext"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Swee, Thanks for the wonderful information, very very helpful to everyone i am sure, maybe difficult for me to memorise it instantly. I humbly write the following Something that caught my attention was "For Those who worship Siva" I don't have detailed knowledge on hindu religion, so dont want to offend anyone. But somehow it seems their to be a subtle division (I wouldnt know the appropriate english word) between followers of Lord Shiva and followers of Lord Vishnu. Are followers of Lord Vishnu not to wear Rudraksha? Query here is what if one person loves both Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna immensely, then what does such a person do, is he still allowed to wear Rudraksha? I am trying to learn here. {I hope my Mars and Saturn doesnt play up since i have once again ventured writing on the list:))) } In Joy and Abundance, Sunil John - Swee Chan vedic astrology Saturday, February 22, 2003 3:58 PM RE: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Jaya Jagannatha Dear Sunil, For those who worship Åšiva: Siva Purana: 1.25.5-7 O Mahesani, formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of years. Although I had controlled it vigorously, my mind was in flutter. Out of sport, I being self possessed just opened my eyes. O Goddess, from a desire of helping the worlds, drops of tears fell from my beautiful half-closed eyes. >From those tear drops there cropped up the RudrÄksa plants. 1.25.12 The colours of the four types of Rudraksas are respectively white, red, yellow and black. All people shall wear the Rudraksa of their own varna. 1.25.13 If they desire their world pleasures and salvation, and if the devotees of Siva wish to gratify Siva, they must wear the Rudraksa. 1.25.26 A devout man shall make a coronet consisting of five hundred and fifty rudraksas. 27. A person of pious nature shall make three circular strings in the manner of the sacred thread, each having three hundred and sixty beads. 29-30 Hundred and one Rudraksas shall be worn round the neck, eleven shall be worn round each arms, elbows and wrists. Devotees of Siva shall have three Rudraksa in the sacred thread and round the hips five Rudraksa shall be tied. 32. Such a person while in contemplation shall be duly seated and addressed Namah Shivaya. Seeing him, everyone is freed from sins. 37-39 One Rudraksa shall be worn on the tuft, forty on the forehead (Isnana mantra), thirty-two round the neck, hundred and eight over the chest (Aghora mantra); six in each of the ears (Tripurusa mantra); sixteen round each arms; O Lord of Sages, according to the measurement of the forearms (Aghora mantra), twelve or twice that number shall be worn there. A person who wears so many out of love, is a great devotee of Siva. 41. A string of fifteen beads shall be worn on the stomach with Vamadeva mantra. 42. With five mantras- sadyojata etc, three, five or seven garlands shall be worn. Or all beads shall be worn with the MÅ«la mantra. 43. A devotee of Åšiva shall refrain from eating meat, garlic, onions, red garlic, potherb, ÅšleÅŸmÄtaka, pig of rubbish and liquors. 44. O UmÄ, daughter of the mountain, the white RudrÄksa shall be worn by the Brahmin, the red by the KÅŸatriya, the yellow by the VaiÅ›ya, the black by the Śūdra. This is the path indicated by the Vedas. 46. The Rudraksa of the size of an Emblic myrobalan and those of lighter weight but depressed with thorns, those eaten by worms or without holes and those characterized by other defects shall not be worn by those wishing for auspicious results. They shall avoid small ones the size of a gram. O Uma, Rudraksa is an auspicious complement to my phallic image. The small one is always praise worthy. 49. Those who wear Tripundra, the matted hair and the Rudraksa, do not go to Yama’s abode. 50-52 More about these saintly men. 64. A rudraksa of a single face is Siva himself. It bestows worldly pleasures and salvation. The sin of brahmin slaughter is washed off at its mere sight. 66. A Rudraksa with two faces is ÃÅ›a, the lord of the devas. Especially, that Rudraksa quickly quells the sin of cow slaughter. 67. Three faces always bestows means of enjoyment. As a result of its power, all lores become firmly established. 68. Four faces is Brahma himself. It quells the sins of man-slaughter. It bestow the achievement of the four aims in life. 69- 70 Five face is Rudra himself. Its name is KÄlÄgni. It is lordly. It bestows all sorts of salvation and achievement of all desired objects. It dispels all sorts of sins as accrue from sexual intercourse with a forbidden woman and from eating forbidden food. 71. Six faces is KÄrtikeya himself. A man who wears it on his right arm is certainly absolved of the sins of brahmin-slaughter and the like. 72. Seven faces is called Anaá¹…ga. O Deveśī, by wearing it, even a poor man becomes a great lord. 73. Eight faces is called Vasumurti and Bhairava. By wearing it, a man lives the full span of life. After death, he becomes the trident-bearing lord, Siva. 74. The nine faces is also Bhairava, and its sage is Kapila. Its presiding deity is Durga. Of nine forms, MaheÅ›varÄ« herself. This rudraksha is to be worn on the left hand with devotion. He shall certainly become Sarvevara like me. 76. Ten faces is Lord JanÄrdana himself. Oh devesi, by wearing it, the devotee shall achieve the fulfilment of all desires. 77. A rudraksa with eleven faces is Rudra. By wearing it, one becomes victorious everywhere. 78. One shall wear the 12 faced Rudraksa on the hair of the head. All the twelve Adityas are present therein. 79. A rudraksa with thirteen faces is Visvedeva. By wearing it, a man will attain the realisation of all desires. He will derive good fortune and auspiciousness. 80. A rudraksa with fourteen faces is the highest Siva. It shall be worn on the head with great devotion. It quells all sins. 81. O daughter of the king of mountains, thus I have explained to you the different types of Rudraksa based on the number of faces. Please listen to the mantras with devotion.

Just for anyone who wishes to pursue more in-depth study on how Rudrashka can help in curing diseases, some people in IIT -mumbai have done extensive research on the healing properties of rudraksha. Sir, the subject heading states rudraksha alternative to gems, so does it give the same degree of effects as gems, could other members who have had some effects after wearing of rudraksha state their experience. Do the classics mentions about the benefits of rudrakshas. Oh, just now i saw another post from you, yes the documents that i had seen from IIT mumbai research leader was very detailed in the bio electric or biomangetic qualities (I dont know what is the appropriate term) of rudraksha and how it can help heart patients and blood pressure patients. Could someone pls tell me how to identify a genuine rudraksha. I have heard of some methods but confirmation from learned members would be beneficial. Also some books mention that before wearing the rudraksha, its particular mantra has to be recited , is this true.

BIOMEDICAL PROPERTIES Every human being & other living things have their own Aura, a field of energy that surrounds people & other living things, reflects the energy of the spirit in that body, this energy extends about two to four inches around the body & a light or pastel shade. It contains every color & shade in the rainbow & usually extends 2-5 inches from the body. Its colors textures & patterns reveal much information about emotional, mental physical, spiritual, karmic, environmental & relational states. An Aura is like a thumb print, it is completely individual & expresses who you really are in all your splendor. Rudraksh Bead have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Dynamic Polarity or the ability to change its polarity. Rudraksh also have Anti Ageing Properties based on their Electromagnetism.When Rudraksha Beads are worn they interface and integrate with the Human Body at a silent subtle level of Consciousness. Due to their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties the Rudraksha Beads initiate and effect positive change in the Bio Electrical System of the Human Body in a life supporting manner. As a result of this change in the electrical makeup of our body, positive change is also initiated in our Bio Chemical System. There are no compulsions to wear a specific bead of Rudraksh as one can wear the combination of all beads and One can also wear a pendant of any specific facet of beads or a mix of different facet of beads as rudraksh do not have any negative effects unlike Gems , which can cause a greater level of harm if wrongly. Human body is basically a Bio Electronic circuit, blood circulation, the transmission of various impulses and the continuous movement of Neurons and Neurotransmitters in the brain generates electrical impulses which is know as Bioelectricity.It is believed and proved that Rudraksh beads have certain Electromagnetic and Inductive properties and when worn over the heart they send out corresponding signals differing for different mukhis to the brain, activating or controlling certain brain chemicals and neurotransmitters thereby inducing states of mind as described in ancient scriptures. For example the mental agitation's and Dopamine levels (Increased amount of Dopamine cause over activity of neurons resulting in mental agitation, restlessness, tension, fear lack of control etc. conversely decreased levels of Dopamine, result in peace, tranquility, stability etc.) of those who wore 5 mukhi Rudraksh was found to be less and the serotinin levels (low levels of Serotinin, one such neurotransmitter cause depression, worry, lack of energy, low self esteem and higher levels of it causes happiness, energy, drive, high levels of confidence and self esteem etc. )of those who wore 1 mukhi and 12 mukhi Rudraksh bead was found to be high.The activity of neurons in the right part of the brain was found to be high in the wearer of 14 mukhi Rudraksh bead (right part of the brain control abstract and lateral thinking as against logical and structure thinking of left part of brain). This perhaps is the reason behind the change in personality and attitudes of the wearer of different types of Rudraksh beads. When the persons gets a positive confident frame of mind the impact goes deep into his subconscious mind sending out powerful vibrations there by changing the way nature and others react to him/her.Rudraksha beads act as a Stabilizing newscaster, which can control the bio electronic circuit of our body. Rudraksha beads also have Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic properties with the most important property of Dynamic Polarity. Rudraksh beads have the properties of Magnets but it is unparallel in one aspect, that of the ability to change it's polarity or the Property of Dynamic Polarity. Medically it has been proved that Rudraksh has very powerful Anti Ageing properties because of the Dynamic Polarity of the Rudraksha a bead thus the healing powers of Rudraksha are far superior to that of Magnets. In some sense Rudraksha beads can be termed to have some additional life or Intelligence as against Magnets.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Dear JKda, Thanks once again for the informative post. How does one test a genuine rudraksha? is their only one method or many, from which region in the world is the most genuine variety available. I knew u would ask me(smile I got cornered here) this to get my hands on the research paper, but as i had told u, I have only half on it and that too many yrs back when i doing the documentary on it, but its half and i dont know where in my house i have it, it would take me a month to get my hands on it, if at all i have it. But surely would try and then maybe u can scan it and give it to the list. I might suggest a better alternative to get the whole research by contacting this person from IIT who has appeared in many interviews for the same, he stays in Thane and is a very nice gentleman.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Dear ???, I think you started from wearing Rudrakshas instead of gems. The properties of rudraksha for controlling B.P. and heart beat are well authenticated. But how does this relate to its ability to substitute for Gems? Chandrashekhar. - Sen Sarma, Joyjit ((eGM)) vedic astrology Saturday, February 22, 2003 3:40 AM RE: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems I donot want to go into argument on the electromagnetic qualities of Rudraksha. All I can say is that it has been proved thru research in ITBHU(a very reputed university) Supporting scientific evidence for these statements are found in the published research papers of Mr. D. Suhas Roy (et.al) of the Indian Institute of Technology ( IT-BHU ) Banaras, India, describing the beneficial powers of Rudraksha by virtue of its electrical and magnetic properties that affect our central nervous system, autonomic, sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems and various other organ systems. Mr. D. Suhas Roy and a group of scientists proved that wearing Rudraksha controlled heart beat and had a positive effect on blood pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, palpitations and lack of concentration.

BIOMEDICAL PROPERTIES Every human being & other living things have their own Aura, a field of energy that surrounds people & other living things, reflects the energy of the spirit in that body, this energy extends about two to four inches around the body & a light or pastel shade. It contains every color & shade in the rainbow & usually extends 2-5 inches from the body. Its colors textures & patterns reveal much information about emotional, mental physical, spiritual, karmic, environmental & relational states. An Aura is like a thumb print, it is completely individual & expresses who you really are in all your splendor. Rudraksh Bead have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Dynamic Polarity or the ability to change its polarity. Rudraksh also have Anti Ageing Properties based on their Electromagnetism.When Rudraksha Beads are worn they interface and integrate with the Human Body at a silent subtle level of Consciousness. Due to their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties the Rudraksha Beads initiate and effect positive change in the Bio Electrical System of the Human Body in a life supporting manner. As a result of this change in the electrical makeup of our body, positive change is also initiated in our Bio Chemical System. There are no compulsions to wear a specific bead of Rudraksh as one can wear the combination of all beads and One can also wear a pendant of any specific facet of beads or a mix of different facet of beads as rudraksh do not have any negative effects unlike Gems , which can cause a greater level of harm if wrongly. Human body is basically a Bio Electronic circuit, blood circulation, the transmission of various impulses and the continuous movement of Neurons and Neurotransmitters in the brain generates electrical impulses which is know as Bioelectricity.It is believed and proved that Rudraksh beads have certain Electromagnetic and Inductive properties and when worn over the heart they send out corresponding signals differing for different mukhis to the brain, activating or controlling certain brain chemicals and neurotransmitters thereby inducing states of mind as described in ancient scriptures. For example the mental agitation's and Dopamine levels (Increased amount of Dopamine cause over activity of neurons resulting in mental agitation, restlessness, tension, fear lack of control etc. conversely decreased levels of Dopamine, result in peace, tranquility, stability etc.) of those who wore 5 mukhi Rudraksh was found to be less and the serotinin levels (low levels of Serotinin, one such neurotransmitter cause depression, worry, lack of energy, low self esteem and higher levels of it causes happiness, energy, drive, high levels of confidence and self esteem etc. )of those who wore 1 mukhi and 12 mukhi Rudraksh bead was found to be high.The activity of neurons in the right part of the brain was found to be high in the wearer of 14 mukhi Rudraksh bead (right part of the brain control abstract and lateral thinking as against logical and structure thinking of left part of brain). This perhaps is the reason behind the change in personality and attitudes of the wearer of different types of Rudraksh beads. When the persons gets a positive confident frame of mind the impact goes deep into his subconscious mind sending out powerful vibrations there by changing the way nature and others react to him/her.Rudraksha beads act as a Stabilizing newscaster, which can control the bio electronic circuit of our body. Rudraksha beads also have Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic properties with the most important property of Dynamic Polarity. Rudraksh beads have the properties of Magnets but it is unparallel in one aspect, that of the ability to change it's polarity or the Property of Dynamic Polarity. Medically it has been proved that Rudraksh has very powerful Anti Ageing properties because of the Dynamic Polarity of the Rudraksha a bead thus the healing powers of Rudraksha are far superior to that of Magnets. In some sense Rudraksha beads can be termed to have some additional life or Intelligence as against Magnets.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Dear J K Dasgupta, Thank you for your informative posts on Rudrakshas.However I have not seen any of the ancient sages' treatises that mention wearing of rudrakshas as a substitute for gems of planets. Is your source reliable ? Or is it one of those who also sell rudrakshas? Please do not think I am doubting your bonafides as I am aware of power of Rudrakshas in helping concentrate mind for yoga and their ability to control Krodha and thus the beneficial effect in case of B.P. paitients. My query is just to find out if any low cost cure instead of gems is possible for those that cannot afford it, but from an authoritative source.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Dear Swee, Thank you for a beautiful post on rudraksha from ancient texts. Chandrashekhar. - Swee Chan vedic astrology Saturday, February 22, 2003 3:58 PM RE: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Jaya Jagannatha Dear Sunil, For those who worship Śiva: Siva Purana: 1.25.5-7 O Mahesani, formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of years. Although I had controlled it vigorously, my mind was in flutter. Out of sport, I being self possessed just opened my eyes. O Goddess, from a desire of helping the worlds, drops of tears fell from my beautiful half-closed eyes. >From those tear drops there cropped up the Rudrāksa plants. 1.25.12 The colours of the four types of Rudraksas are respectively white, red, yellow and black. All people shall wear the Rudraksa of their own varna. 1.25.13 If they desire their world pleasures and salvation, and if the devotees of Siva wish to gratify Siva, they must wear the Rudraksa. 1.25.26 A devout man shall make a coronet consisting of five hundred and fifty rudraksas. 27. A person of pious nature shall make three circular strings in the manner of the sacred thread, each having three hundred and sixty beads. 29-30 Hundred and one Rudraksas shall be worn round the neck, eleven shall be worn round each arms, elbows and wrists. Devotees of Siva shall have three Rudraksa in the sacred thread and round the hips five Rudraksa shall be tied. 32. Such a person while in contemplation shall be duly seated and addressed Namah Shivaya. Seeing him, everyone is freed from sins. 37-39 One Rudraksa shall be worn on the tuft, forty on the forehead (Isnana mantra), thirty-two round the neck, hundred and eight over the chest (Aghora mantra); six in each of the ears (Tripurusa mantra); sixteen round each arms; O Lord of Sages, according to the measurement of the forearms (Aghora mantra), twelve or twice that number shall be worn there. A person who wears so many out of love, is a great devotee of Siva. 41. A string of fifteen beads shall be worn on the stomach with Vamadeva mantra. 42. With five mantras- sadyojata etc, three, five or seven garlands shall be worn. Or all beads shall be worn with the Mūla mantra. 43. A devotee of Śiva shall refrain from eating meat, garlic, onions, red garlic, potherb, Śleşmātaka, pig of rubbish and liquors. 44. O Umā, daughter of the mountain, the white Rudrāksa shall be worn by the Brahmin, the red by the Kşatriya, the yellow by the Vaiśya, the black by the Śūdra. This is the path indicated by the Vedas. 46. The Rudraksa of the size of an Emblic myrobalan and those of lighter weight but depressed with thorns, those eaten by worms or without holes and those characterized by other defects shall not be worn by those wishing for auspicious results. They shall avoid small ones the size of a gram. O Uma, Rudraksa is an auspicious complement to my phallic image. The small one is always praise worthy. 49. Those who wear Tripundra, the matted hair and the Rudraksa, do not go to Yama’s abode. 50-52 More about these saintly men. 64. A rudraksa of a single face is Siva himself. It bestows worldly pleasures and salvation. The sin of brahmin slaughter is washed off at its mere sight. 66. A Rudraksa with two faces is Íśa, the lord of the devas. Especially, that Rudraksa quickly quells the sin of cow slaughter. 67. Three faces always bestows means of enjoyment. As a result of its power, all lores become firmly established. 68. Four faces is Brahma himself. It quells the sins of man-slaughter. It bestow the achievement of the four aims in life. 69- 70 Five face is Rudra himself. Its name is Kālāgni. It is lordly. It bestows all sorts of salvation and achievement of all desired objects. It dispels all sorts of sins as accrue from sexual intercourse with a forbidden woman and from eating forbidden food. 71. Six faces is Kārtikeya himself. A man who wears it on his right arm is certainly absolved of the sins of brahmin-slaughter and the like. 72. Seven faces is called Anaṅga. O Deveśī, by wearing it, even a poor man becomes a great lord. 73. Eight faces is called Vasumurti and Bhairava. By wearing it, a man lives the full span of life. After death, he becomes the trident-bearing lord, Siva. 74. The nine faces is also Bhairava, and its sage is Kapila. Its presiding deity is Durga. Of nine forms, Maheśvarī herself. This rudraksha is to be worn on the left hand with devotion. He shall certainly become Sarvevara like me. 76. Ten faces is Lord Janārdana himself. Oh devesi, by wearing it, the devotee shall achieve the fulfilment of all desires. 77. A rudraksa with eleven faces is Rudra. By wearing it, one becomes victorious everywhere. 78. One shall wear the 12 faced Rudraksa on the hair of the head. All the twelve Adityas are present therein. 79. A rudraksa with thirteen faces is Visvedeva. By wearing it, a man will attain the realisation of all desires. He will derive good fortune and auspiciousness. 80. A rudraksa with fourteen faces is the highest Siva. It shall be worn on the head with great devotion. It quells all sins. 81. O daughter of the king of mountains, thus I have explained to you the different types of Rudraksa based on the number of faces. Please listen to the mantras with devotion.

BIOMEDICAL PROPERTIES Every human being & other living things have their own Aura, a field of energy that surrounds people & other living things, reflects the energy of the spirit in that body, this energy extends about two to four inches around the body & a light or pastel shade. It contains every color & shade in the rainbow & usually extends 2-5 inches from the body. Its colors textures & patterns reveal much information about emotional, mental physical, spiritual, karmic, environmental & relational states. An Aura is like a thumb print, it is completely individual & expresses who you really are in all your splendor. Rudraksh Bead have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Dynamic Polarity or the ability to change its polarity. Rudraksh also have Anti Ageing Properties based on their Electromagnetism.When Rudraksha Beads are worn they interface and integrate with the Human Body at a silent subtle level of Consciousness. Due to their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties the Rudraksha Beads initiate and effect positive change in the Bio Electrical System of the Human Body in a life supporting manner. As a result of this change in the electrical makeup of our body, positive change is also initiated in our Bio Chemical System. There are no compulsions to wear a specific bead of Rudraksh as one can wear the combination of all beads and One can also wear a pendant of any specific facet of beads or a mix of different facet of beads as rudraksh do not have any negative effects unlike Gems , which can cause a greater level of harm if wrongly. Human body is basically a Bio Electronic circuit, blood circulation, the transmission of various impulses and the continuous movement of Neurons and Neurotransmitters in the brain generates electrical impulses which is know as Bioelectricity.It is believed and proved that Rudraksh beads have certain Electromagnetic and Inductive properties and when worn over the heart they send out corresponding signals differing for different mukhis to the brain, activating or controlling certain brain chemicals and neurotransmitters thereby inducing states of mind as described in ancient scriptures. For example the mental agitation's and Dopamine levels (Increased amount of Dopamine cause over activity of neurons resulting in mental agitation, restlessness, tension, fear lack of control etc. conversely decreased levels of Dopamine, result in peace, tranquility, stability etc.) of those who wore 5 mukhi Rudraksh was found to be less and the serotinin levels (low levels of Serotinin, one such neurotransmitter cause depression, worry, lack of energy, low self esteem and higher levels of it causes happiness, energy, drive, high levels of confidence and self esteem etc. )of those who wore 1 mukhi and 12 mukhi Rudraksh bead was found to be high.The activity of neurons in the right part of the brain was found to be high in the wearer of 14 mukhi Rudraksh bead (right part of the brain control abstract and lateral thinking as against logical and structure thinking of left part of brain). This perhaps is the reason behind the change in personality and attitudes of the wearer of different types of Rudraksh beads. When the persons gets a positive confident frame of mind the impact goes deep into his subconscious mind sending out powerful vibrations there by changing the way nature and others react to him/her.Rudraksha beads act as a Stabilizing newscaster, which can control the bio electronic circuit of our body. Rudraksha beads also have Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic properties with the most important property of Dynamic Polarity. Rudraksh beads have the properties of Magnets but it is unparallel in one aspect, that of the ability to change it's polarity or the Property of Dynamic Polarity. Medically it has been proved that Rudraksh has very powerful Anti Ageing properties because of the Dynamic Polarity of the Rudraksha a bead thus the healing powers of Rudraksha are far superior to that of Magnets. In some sense Rudraksha beads can be termed to have some additional life or Intelligence as against Magnets.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Dear Sunil, If I may add my two cents worth. Shiva is part of the trinity.The Paratman is one and all the dieties and other beings are part of Him so no problems if a devout person wears the Rudraksha whatever his faith. At least this is how I understand the religion. Chandrashekhar. - Sunil John vedic astrology Saturday, February 22, 2003 4:24 PM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Jaya Jagannatha Dear Swee, Thanks for the wonderful information, very very helpful to everyone i am sure, maybe difficult for me to memorise it instantly. I humbly write the following Something that caught my attention was "For Those who worship Siva" I don't have detailed knowledge on hindu religion, so dont want to offend anyone. But somehow it seems their to be a subtle division (I wouldnt know the appropriate english word) between followers of Lord Shiva and followers of Lord Vishnu. Are followers of Lord Vishnu not to wear Rudraksha? Query here is what if one person loves both Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna immensely, then what does such a person do, is he still allowed to wear Rudraksha? I am trying to learn here. {I hope my Mars and Saturn doesnt play up since i have once again ventured writing on the list:))) } In Joy and Abundance, Sunil John - Swee Chan vedic astrology Saturday, February 22, 2003 3:58 PM RE: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Jaya Jagannatha Dear Sunil, For those who worship Åšiva: Siva Purana: 1.25.5-7 O Mahesani, formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of years.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 dear chandrashekhara, my informations are collected from net and various other sources. but swee's post is authentic and she has quoted them form shiva purana. sanjayji's VRA also talks about rudrakhsa therapy. yes..definitely i also think that rudrakhsa may be a very good alternative for gems..but probably more studies and experiments are to be done on this. my view is that..every thing in this unverse is made of panchatatwa. if rudraksa can be beneficial for our body and mind..then why not for adverse planetory influences..which affects us thru this panchatatwa only? i am not very sure if my logic is correct. regards jk - Chandrashekhar vedic astrology Sunday, February 23, 2003 1:41 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Dear J K Dasgupta, Thank you for your informative posts on Rudrakshas.However I have not seen any of the ancient sages' treatises that mention wearing of rudrakshas as a substitute for gems of planets. Is your source reliable ? Or is it one of those who also sell rudrakshas? Please do not think I am doubting your bonafides as I am aware of power of Rudrakshas in helping concentrate mind for yoga and their ability to control Krodha and thus the beneficial effect in case of B.P. paitients. My query is just to find out if any low cost cure instead of gems is possible for those that cannot afford it, but from an authoritative source. Chandrashekhar. - j.k. dasgupta vedic astrology ; Saturday, February 22, 2003 1:15 PM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems dear sunil, can u put your hands on the research paper..u mentioned in your earlier post? yes..in VRA also benefits of rudrakhsa is mentioned, that is how i got interested in it. and i understand that it is a very very safe alternative to gem..no side effects. i got some informations on particular combi for various lagnas, i got till now only the following Rudraksh recommendations, it seems that rudrakhsas for lord, yogada and favourable planets have been prescribed: Aries - Three Mukhis Taurus - Four Mukhis & Seven Mukhis (not sure why 6 mukhi has not been recomended) Gemini - Four Mukhis & Six Mukhis Cancer - Two Mukhis & Three Mukhis Leo - Three Mukhis & Twelve Mukhis Virgo - Four Mukhis & Six Mukhis i have not yet got any recomendation for Li to Pi, but this recomendation seems to be very general. particular recomendations should depend on the actual chart. in the other post you have asked regarding mantras of rudrakhsas before wearing it. below are some materials which i could lay my hands on till now.. i am not sure how far they are effective or authentic. still to be studied further on this. but, it seems there are various openions on this. some tell that rudrakhsas and self energized..some tell that doing rudrabhishek of the rudrakhsa before wearing is a must. i think more study is required on the same. ========== Mantras to be recited 108 times before wearing: 1 faced: OM RUDRA EK VAKTRASYA | OM HREEM NAMAH || 2 faced: OM KHAM DVI VAKTRASYA, | OM SHREM HREEM KSHOUMA UVEERM OM. || 3 faced: OM AM BAM TRAIVAKTRASYA | OM RAIM HOOM HREEM HOOM OM. || 4 faced: OM HREEM CHATURVAKTRASYA | OM VAM KAM THAM HAM EE || 5 faced: OM HRAM PANCHA VAKTRASYA | OM HREEM AAM KSHAMYOM SWAHA|| 6 faced: OM HOOM SHADHA VASTRASYA | OM HREEM SHREEM KLEEM SHOWM YAM || 7 faced: OM HRA SAPTA VAKTRASYA | OM HRAM KREEM HREEM SHAUM || (to be recited 550 times) 8 faced: OM KAM ASTA VAKTRASYA | OM HRAM GREEM LAM AM SHREE || 9 faced: OM JHAM NAVA-VAK-THRASYA | OM HREEM VAM YAM RUM LAM. || 10 faced: OM AKSHAM DASH VAKTRASYA | OM SHREEM HREEM KLEEM GREEM OM || 11 faced: OM SHREEM EKADASH VAKTRASYA | OM RAM MAM YAM OM || 12 faced: OM HREEM DVADASH VAKTRASYA | OM SHREEM DHDUPI SHREEM || 13 faced: OM KSHOM TRAYO-DASA-VAK-TRASYA | OM EE YAM APA OM || (to be recited 432 times) 14 faced: OM NAM CHATURDASH VAKTRASYS | OM PHAUM SPHE KHAPHARE HRIRTRON HAMSAPHRE || ============== another article prescribe the followings for energising rudrakhsa : The Rudraksha are immersed in oil overnight . Then they are washed with Panchamrit , while chanting Shiva Mantra Namah Shivaya and then the Rudraksha are washed with pure water chanting the Sadyojaat Mantra which is as follows.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 ` ¬I— ³:[ay nm>, Dear Sunil, If you go through Sri Sanjay Ji's VRA ,it tells about the different mantras for different types of Rudrakshas to be worn.The importance of Rudrakshas has been detailed in Devi Purana,Shiva Purana,Skanda Purana ,Linga Purana etc. I hope this helps, With best regards, Ramadas Rao.

Just for anyone who wishes to pursue more in-depth study on how Rudrashka can help in curing diseases, some people in IIT -mumbai have done extensive research on the healing properties of rudraksha. Sir, the subject heading states rudraksha alternative to gems, so does it give the same degree of effects as gems, could other members who have had some effects after wearing of rudraksha state their experience. Do the classics mentions about the benefits of rudrakshas. Oh, just now i saw another post from you, yes the documents that i had seen from IIT mumbai research leader was very detailed in the bio electric or biomangetic qualities (I dont know what is the appropriate term) of rudraksha and how it can help heart patients and blood pressure patients. Could someone pls tell me how to identify a genuine rudraksha. I have heard of some methods but confirmation from learned members would be beneficial. Also some books mention that before wearing the rudraksha, its particular mantra has to be recited , is this true.

BIOMEDICAL PROPERTIES Every human being & other living things have their own Aura, a field of energy that surrounds people & other living things, reflects the energy of the spirit in that body, this energy extends about two to four inches around the body & a light or pastel shade. It contains every color & shade in the rainbow & usually extends 2-5 inches from the body. Its colors textures & patterns reveal much information about emotional, mental physical, spiritual, karmic, environmental & relational states. An Aura is like a thumb print, it is completely individual & expresses who you really are in all your splendor. Rudraksh Bead have Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Dynamic Polarity or the ability to change its polarity. Rudraksh also have Anti Ageing Properties based on their Electromagnetism.When Rudraksha Beads are worn they interface and integrate with the Human Body at a silent subtle level of Consciousness. Due to their Dielectric and Magnetic Properties the Rudraksha Beads initiate and effect positive change in the Bio Electrical System of the Human Body in a life supporting manner. As a result of this change in the electrical makeup of our body, positive change is also initiated in our Bio Chemical System. There are no compulsions to wear a specific bead of Rudraksh as one can wear the combination of all beads and One can also wear a pendant of any specific facet of beads or a mix of different facet of beads as rudraksh do not have any negative effects unlike Gems , which can cause a greater level of harm if wrongly. Human body is basically a Bio Electronic circuit, blood circulation, the transmission of various impulses and the continuous movement of Neurons and Neurotransmitters in the brain generates electrical impulses which is know as Bioelectricity.It is believed and proved that Rudraksh beads have certain Electromagnetic and Inductive properties and when worn over the heart they send out corresponding signals differing for different mukhis to the brain, activating or controlling certain brain chemicals and neurotransmitters thereby inducing states of mind as described in ancient scriptures. For example the mental agitation's and Dopamine levels (Increased amount of Dopamine cause over activity of neurons resulting in mental agitation, restlessness, tension, fear lack of control etc. conversely decreased levels of Dopamine, result in peace, tranquility, stability etc.) of those who wore 5 mukhi Rudraksh was found to be less and the serotinin levels (low levels of Serotinin, one such neurotransmitter cause depression, worry, lack of energy, low self esteem and higher levels of it causes happiness, energy, drive, high levels of confidence and self esteem etc. )of those who wore 1 mukhi and 12 mukhi Rudraksh bead was found to be high.The activity of neurons in the right part of the brain was found to be high in the wearer of 14 mukhi Rudraksh bead (right part of the brain control abstract and lateral thinking as against logical and structure thinking of left part of brain). This perhaps is the reason behind the change in personality and attitudes of the wearer of different types of Rudraksh beads. When the persons gets a positive confident frame of mind the impact goes deep into his subconscious mind sending out powerful vibrations there by changing the way nature and others react to him/her.Rudraksha beads act as a Stabilizing newscaster, which can control the bio electronic circuit of our body. Rudraksha beads also have Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic properties with the most important property of Dynamic Polarity. Rudraksh beads have the properties of Magnets but it is unparallel in one aspect, that of the ability to change it's polarity or the Property of Dynamic Polarity. Medically it has been proved that Rudraksh has very powerful Anti Ageing properties because of the Dynamic Polarity of the Rudraksha a bead thus the healing powers of Rudraksha are far superior to that of Magnets. In some sense Rudraksha beads can be termed to have some additional life or Intelligence as against Magnets.Archives: vedic astrologyGroup info: vedic astrology/info.htmlTo UNSUBSCRIBE: Blank mail to vedic astrology-.......

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Dear J.K. Dasgupta, Your logic is correct. My question was somewhat different, I wanted to know as to why there is no mention of this in ancient sages, texts that are available. Rudrakshas have been worn by Yogis and Sants for long and there should have been some mention in the texts.Swee's reference to Puranas is authentic. But I wanted to know about astrological texts. thanks for your response. Regards, Chandrashekhar. - j.k. dasgupta vedic astrology Sunday, February 23, 2003 10:41 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems dear chandrashekhara, my informations are collected from net and various other sources. but swee's post is authentic and she has quoted them form shiva purana. sanjayji's VRA also talks about rudrakhsa therapy. yes..definitely i also think that rudrakhsa may be a very good alternative for gems..but probably more studies and experiments are to be done on this. my view is that..every thing in this unverse is made of panchatatwa. if rudraksa can be beneficial for our body and mind..then why not for adverse planetory influences..which affects us thru this panchatatwa only? i am not very sure if my logic is correct. regards jk - Chandrashekhar vedic astrology Sunday, February 23, 2003 1:41 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Dear J K Dasgupta, Thank you for your informative posts on Rudrakshas.However I have not seen any of the ancient sages' treatises that mention wearing of rudrakshas as a substitute for gems of planets. Is your source reliable ? Or is it one of those who also sell rudrakshas? Please do not think I am doubting your bonafides as I am aware of power of Rudrakshas in helping concentrate mind for yoga and their ability to control Krodha and thus the beneficial effect in case of B.P. paitients. My query is just to find out if any low cost cure instead of gems is possible for those that cannot afford it, but from an authoritative source. Chandrashekhar. - j.k. dasgupta vedic astrology ; Saturday, February 22, 2003 1:15 PM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems dear sunil, can u put your hands on the research paper..u mentioned in your earlier post? yes..in VRA also benefits of rudrakhsa is mentioned, that is how i got interested in it. and i understand that it is a very very safe alternative to gem..no side effects. i got some informations on particular combi for various lagnas, i got till now only the following Rudraksh recommendations, it seems that rudrakhsas for lord, yogada and favourable planets have been prescribed: Aries - Three Mukhis Taurus - Four Mukhis & Seven Mukhis (not sure why 6 mukhi has not been recomended) Gemini - Four Mukhis & Six Mukhis Cancer - Two Mukhis & Three Mukhis Leo - Three Mukhis & Twelve Mukhis Virgo - Four Mukhis & Six Mukhis i have not yet got any recomendation for Li to Pi, but this recomendation seems to be very general. particular recomendations should depend on the actual chart. in the other post you have asked regarding mantras of rudrakhsas before wearing it. below are some materials which i could lay my hands on till now.. i am not sure how far they are effective or authentic. still to be studied further on this. but, it seems there are various openions on this. some tell that rudrakhsas and self energized..some tell that doing rudrabhishek of the rudrakhsa before wearing is a must. i think more study is required on the same. ========== Mantras to be recited 108 times before wearing: 1 faced: OM RUDRA EK VAKTRASYA | OM HREEM NAMAH || 2 faced: OM KHAM DVI VAKTRASYA, | OM SHREM HREEM KSHOUMA UVEERM OM. || 3 faced: OM AM BAM TRAIVAKTRASYA | OM RAIM HOOM HREEM HOOM OM. || 4 faced: OM HREEM CHATURVAKTRASYA | OM VAM KAM THAM HAM EE || 5 faced: OM HRAM PANCHA VAKTRASYA | OM HREEM AAM KSHAMYOM SWAHA|| 6 faced: OM HOOM SHADHA VASTRASYA | OM HREEM SHREEM KLEEM SHOWM YAM || 7 faced: OM HRA SAPTA VAKTRASYA | OM HRAM KREEM HREEM SHAUM || (to be recited 550 times) 8 faced: OM KAM ASTA VAKTRASYA | OM HRAM GREEM LAM AM SHREE || 9 faced: OM JHAM NAVA-VAK-THRASYA | OM HREEM VAM YAM RUM LAM. || 10 faced: OM AKSHAM DASH VAKTRASYA | OM SHREEM HREEM KLEEM GREEM OM || 11 faced: OM SHREEM EKADASH VAKTRASYA | OM RAM MAM YAM OM || 12 faced: OM HREEM DVADASH VAKTRASYA | OM SHREEM DHDUPI SHREEM || 13 faced: OM KSHOM TRAYO-DASA-VAK-TRASYA | OM EE YAM APA OM || (to be recited 432 times) 14 faced: OM NAM CHATURDASH VAKTRASYS | OM PHAUM SPHE KHAPHARE HRIRTRON HAMSAPHRE || ============== another article prescribe the followings for energising rudrakhsa : The Rudraksha are immersed in oil overnight .

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Dear Chandrashekharji, Thanks for explaining it in such simple and effective words. In debt Sunil John - Chandrashekhar vedic astrology Sunday, February 23, 2003 1:46 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Dear Sunil, If I may add my two cents worth. Shiva is part of the trinity.The Paratman is one and all the dieties and other beings are part of Him so no problems if a devout person wears the Rudraksha whatever his faith. At least this is how I understand the religion.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 dear john, recognising genuin rudrakhsas is a dificult task. it is a matter of experience only. of course there are methods like..(1)a genuin rudraksha bead will not float when put is pure water..(2) when placed in between 2 copper coin with 2 poles pressed between, it will start rotating..etc. but rudrakhsas being natural product..these methods may not be work always. for starting, it is better to get those from a genuin source only..not from the road side shops who sell so called rudrakhsas. jk - Sunil John vedic astrology Monday, February 24, 2003 11:43 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha-alternative to Gems Dear Learned members, Thank you Ramadasji and Chandrashekharji and JKda and Swee for the exhaustive informations on this subject.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Dear JKda, Thanks for the info, I know both of the techniques, was wondering if their was a third one, or if someone has experimented handson with identification process. Dear Sridhar thanks for the info, ur response is appreciated, relying on the words of this list members is more easier than the daunting task of searching on the net ). Thanks all.
