Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I have some personal interest in this subject and have put up some materials in my website. http://www.joyjit.com/Rudrak/Rudraksha.htm Please feel free to ask any more specific queries Sanjay Rath [daivagyna (AT) sify (DOT) com]Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 8:22 AMvedic astrologySubject: RE: [vedic astrology] Rudraksha View with URW Palladio IT Font aià gurursarasvatyai svähä Dear Rajiv Çastra like Rudräkça Jabalopainshad, Çiva Puräëa, Devé Puräëa and Padma Puräëa extol the value of the Rudräkça seeds. The Rudräkça tree belongs to the Elaeocarpaceae family and is as huge as the banyan tree, taking between 15 to 18 years to attain maturity. Rudräkça is a fruit of that tree which has a seed covered with pulp and an outer skin. After drying, the skin turns black and grooves appear on the surface running from apex to the bottom, thereby demarcating clear areas called 'mükha' or faces. The Rudräkça are classified based on the number of faces, which can range from one to twenty-one. Although the Çastra speaks of four colors, (Red, yellow, black and white) it is next to impossible to differentiate after the seed has dried. Authentic and High quality beads of Rudräkça (Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb) is available in Indonesia and Nepal. Other beads of Elaeocarpus family look similar to Rudräkça (for example Ganitrus Roxb) but are not as effective. More details from the Shiva Purana where mantras are given for wearing each type. These mantras have to be suffixed with the panchakshari. For example the mantra for ekamukhi is om hrém namaù (as given in list) om hrém namaù çiväya (to be recited as advised)If you wish to know about any particular Rudräkça please indicate. Other mantras have been given by Rao in a detailed post but I find the Shiva purana to be the best for this purpose as it is a part of the dharma documentation drive by Sri Veda Vyasa.~ om tat sat ~Yours truly,Sanjay Rath---------------------------H-5, B.J.B Nagar, Bhubaneswar 751014, India, +91-674-2436871 http://srath.com --------------------------- chakroo [chakroo ]Tuesday, July 22, 2003 5:22 AMvedic astrologySubject: [vedic astrology] RudrakshaDear AllCan anyone throw some insight on the different types of rudraksha and how they benefit people.
