Rudraksha Therapy by Dharma Deva

Chapter II

 

To know the Holy Rudraksha one must know the story of its origin and the

people who wear the Sacred Beads as a protection and aid on their heroic

Spiritual Path to Self Empowerment, Fearless Life and Final Liberation.

 

Since there are different accounts in different books of the origin of

the Holy Rudraksa then one must by good reason return to the Shiva

Purana for the most accurate account.

 

In addition since there are a number of different Shaivite Paths that

refer to the same Vedas, Shiva Agamas and Puranas for their Teachings,

Vira Shaivism has been chosen as a living example to show how the Holy

Rudraksha Beads are used as a protection or aid in one major Shaivite

Path. Chapter III will explain more about Vira Shaivism and why the Vira

Shaivites wear the Holy Rudraksha Beads.

 

The origin of the Holy Rudraksa are based in the Power of Lord Shivas

Pennance, Compassion and Desire to help the Mankind and Womankind

destroy the pain and suffering He observed to be affecting the worlds.

 

There are statements found in the Shiva Purana to support this:

 

Shiva Purana Vidyesvarasamhita Chapter 25 Parts 1 to 95

 

Part 2

Rudraksha is favourite bead of Shiva. It is highly sanctifying. It

removes all sins.....meaning suffering.......... by sight contact and

Japas.

 

Part 3

O sage formerly the greatness of Rudraksha was declared to the Goddess

by Shiva the Supreme Soul for rendering help to the worlds.

 

Part 4

O Shivaa Maheshaani be pleased to hear the greatness of Rudraksha. I

speak out of love for the benefit of the devotees of Shiva.

 

Part 5 to 7

O Maheshaani formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of

divine years. Although I had performed it rigorously, my mind was in a

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 tears there cropped up the

Rudraksa plants.

 

Part 19

The wearing of the Rudraksha is recommended for the sake of destroying

sins.........meaning pain and suffering.

 

This is where we have to stop for a moment and contemplate the origin of

the Holy Rudraksa. What brought them into existence ? How were they to

be used? Why were they to be used ?

 

The Compassionate Lord Shiva with eyes closed in deep Silence performing

penance was interrupted by the pain and suffering of the worlds.

Acknowledging the cause of his interrupted State of Consciousness His

immediate Desire was to help the worlds.

 

To accomplish this task Lord Siva used the Power of Compassion and Love

from thousands of divine years of Penance. He spoke out of Love for the

devotees of Shiva. He was so aware of the pain and suffering of the

Mankind and Womankind that drops of tears fell from his beautiful half

closed eyes. His tears produced the Rudraksha plants that create the

Rudraksa Beads for the worlds to use as protective aids to destroy pain

and suffering on the path to final Liberation and Salvation.

 

The Power and psychology behind this thinking and action is perfect. If

you take away a humans pain and suffering then Happiness floods the

lifetime........as Happiness and Bliss work on the Jiva or human soul

then the experience of Dharma Karma Artha and Moksa are brought into

balance on a consistent basis. An example of what takes place due to

this new found Freedom in Life is an acceleration of Spiritual Path in

one lifetime that might normally take 10 lifetimes.

 

The origin of the Holy Rudraksha Beads are based in the Power of

Penance, Compassion and Desire of Lord Siva and this is how they need to

be represented and used by the Mankind and Womankind in this world.

 

The Padma Purana and SriMadDeviBhagavat were written at different times

in the history of India and their interpretation of the origin of the

Holy Rudraksa is incorrect and contradicting each other. A person has to

be aware of this.

 

Lets take a look at the differences and then return to the Shiva Purana

for the complete Truth:

 

In the book by Mr Subas Rai that is Rudraksha Properties and Biomedical

Implications it states that in the Padma Purana Chapter 57 Parts 23 to

25

 

Vyasa said:

 

O Brahmanas formerly in the Kritayuga a demon named Tripura having

killed the gods and after the destruction of all the worlds remained

firm in a city in the intermediate region between the heaven and the

earth due to the boon of Brahma. Lord Siva heard the terrible

representation of (i.e. made by) the gods.

 

Then he strung his bow with an arrow resembling death and holding it

killed the demon who was seen ( by Him ) with ( His ) divine eye. Fallen

from heaven like a giant meteor he dropped on the earth. Drops of

perspiration fell down from ( the body of ) Rudra ( i. e. Shiva ) who

was tired with exertion.

 

There on the earth a great Rudraksa was produced from the drops of Sivas

perspiration. The beings do not know its fruit for it is very secret.

 

The SriMadDeviBhagavat 11th Skand Chapter IV states in parts 1 to 7

 

On making further query from Narayana about Rudraksha. He replied what

He heard from Lord Rudra is as follows:

 

God said O Kartikeya listen to me. In ancient time there was a daitya

named Tripura who used to win others by treachery. He killed all the

deities. On complaint of Brahma and Vishnu about it I thought of him. I

contemplated the Aghora one of the most powerful missiles to kill

Tripura and to quell all kinds of obstacles. In the process my eyes

remained open for one thousand divine years and a few drops of tear fell

down. From these eye drops there sprang a tree of MahaRudraksa.

 

If you read these two accounts found in these two different books they

are totally contradictory to the Shiva Purana and to themselves. These

accounts of the origin of the Holy Rudraksa found in the Padma Purana

and the

SriMadDeviBhagavat are not based in the Compassionate Nature of Lord

Shiva and don't even agree with one another.

 

As one main example the Padma Purana states that tripura had destroyed

everything and killed all the gods and was successful in all this

destruction because he was protected by a boon of Lord Brahma.

 

In SriMadDeviBhagavat it states that Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma made a

complaint to Lord Siva regarding the destruction that tripura was

responsible for Both accounts are based in death and destruction and

contradictory to each other with one account actually maligning Lord

Brahma for giving a protective boon to a destructive force.

 

Therefore both the accounts of the origin of the Holy Rudraksa found in

the Padma Purana and the SriMadDeviBhagavat are false and diluted

Knowledge.

 

The true account of the origin of the Holy Rudraksha is found in the

Shiva Purana.
