Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 dear friend have already mentioned this process followed by me earlier in all groups but am giving the same again. purification: when the rudraksha is plucked from the tree, mostly is is not ripe and is light in weight. also to protect it from infestation, we dip it in a container of oil for a couple of months and then do wet and dry cleaning to ensure that the lines of the rudraksha are visible clearly and the scalp is peeled off fully and there are no infests. then it is dipped in gangajal and cow milk before doing sanctification. sanctification: the rudraksha is placed atop a svayambhu shivling and a proper rudrabhishekam is conducted to the rudraksha along with the shivling so that the energy from the svayambhu shivling gets into the rudraksha as well as treating lord shiva dwelling in the rudraksha as being worshipped through this rudrabhishekam. energisation: shivapurana mentions each rudraksha to be energised with a specific mantra and the same is chanted to instill that mantra's energy into the rudraksha. programming: on an auspicious day, date and time, the native wears this rudraksha by reciting the sankalpam in which the native's name, star, gothram and the desire for which this rudraksha is worn are spelt. in the puranas only energisation with mantras for 1 to 14mukh rudrakha is mentioned and the other processes have been taught by my guru. various people do these other processes in various ways and i have no comments on them. in the ancient classics viz. puranas, these processes are not written. some modern rudraksha sellers have written books mentioning various processes even for rudraksha beyond 14 mukh. i have not yet come across any purana or ancient classic where any reference about the usages, benefits and diety attributions along with mantras have been mentioned for the rudraksha beyond 14mukh. shivapurana and various other puranas have clearly mentioned that rudraksha are available from one to fourteen mukh. i also read one modern book writing various attributions for rudraksha beyond 14mukh in which some old book (not a purana) was referred which does not exist. since mantras and dieties have not been elucidated for these rudrakshas, i am offering only 1 to 14mukh rudraksha which has been mentioned in all puranas. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com , "Bharnikumar babu" <bharnikumar wrote: > > Dear Pandit arjun ji, > Hope you might be busy how ever if you can give guidence it would be > helpfull to all. > > Regads, > J.Sridhar > > > On 2/10/07, Bharnikumar babu <bharnikumar wrote: > > > > Dear Pandit arjun ji, > > > > Is there is a book or document which says how to do purified, sanctified, > > energised and programmed rudraksha.
