Rudraksha originated?

Dear Friends

 

Kerry Ji is right about this........about two weeks ago I printed

the first part of the Siva Purana that shows the origin of the Holy

Rudraksha......it in the message section for anyone to read and the

books of Siva Purana can be found at www.natarajbooks.com in the

US............and what Kerry Ji said about Hindus takeing Rudraksha

to Java has a strong possibility of being true also however have not

been able to find any information on this one yet........I would

think it would be true as the Hindu Monestary in Hawaii has a

Rudraksha Tree forest where they brought the Beads to

Hawaii.............. however the trees there are a different species

than the Nepal Rudraksha Trees so they are not Nepal in

origin.....this was told to me by one of the Sadhakas there when we

wanted to import the Rudraksha Trees to the US however we wanted the

nepal trees species of Eleocarpus ganitrus roxb and they could not

provide this

 

here is one of the difficulty in assessing this one and trying to

figure it out.....there are about 300 different species subspecies

of the Holy Rudraksha and most of the Indonesian beads are the

smaller 2mm to 10 mm size that we generally call Punch Mukhi

Rudraksha even though Mrs Neeta has been able to find them in other

Mukhis besides five Mukhi

 

then there are another spcies of Rudraksha Beads that are larger and

look more like the round Nepal Beads however they do not have the

size or luxuriouse exterior protrusions and Mukhis on the outside of

the beads as do the beads of Gauda Land............these could be

most likely a subspecies of the original species of beads or nepal

beads brought from India and planted in an environment that does not

give them enough nourishment to become large and full like the Nepal

Beads that are grown in the rich environment of the Himalaya Forest

 

In the early 1900s and maybe even earlier the Indonesians had the

opportunity to tell people that the indonesian beads were more

powerful than the larger beads....this is because they had the

smaller beads to sell

 

and in addition this may have been due to the fact that Nepal was

remote and the Arun Valley where the remaining forest is was

isolated and Indonesia was right in the middle of South Asian trade

routes.......In telling the world that the small Indonesian

Rudraksha were the most powerful they made a liveing selling these

small punch mukhi malas world wide.......only difficulty here is

they were telling people something that was not true specific to

origin and size of beads simply to sell a holy item and make money

to feed their families so they really cannot be judged in one way or

another however we can at least read the Siva Purana now and see

exactly what is the truth

 

Siva Purana and all other puranas that follow clearly state the

larger the bead the most Auspicious and the smaller the bead the

least.........they are all Rudraksha........its simply wrong to tell

others that the smaller beads are more powerful as the beads of

Indonesia are more readily available in quantity........and it takes

maybe 10 Indonesian beads to make the same effect as one Nepal

bead.......... that is one reason they are less expensive.......they

have same effects only for some reason at lower levels of intensity

and power

 

hope this helps a little to further explain about origins of the

Holy Rudraksha and where anyone can find the information needed for

their investigations.......another book on our website to read is

the book by Dr Subas Rai named Rudraksha Values and Merits as it

takes the reader from the Origins of the Holy Rudraksha to the

scientific studies done in Bangalore in the 1980s to ascertain the

true nature of he Holy Rudraksha in scientific terms and then they

catalogued all the books with Rudraksha Quotation

 

Those who would like to continue their investigatgions there is an

article to read that will also help and is in our article section in

the R section named Rudraksha for Health and Self Empowerment

 

Wishing you and Family the Best
