Chirag-patel 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 I'm sure you all probably know about rudraksha more than I do so I might as well get rid of the confusion in my head. Since last few weeks I was reading about Rudraksha and their capability to help. After reading several pages online, I bought 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 mukhi rudraksha. They arrived today and I chanted slokas as they were provided in a booklet in the shipment. They are in a "read string" not in a silver or golden necklaces. Do rudraksha have to be in silver or gold to effect or is it just a myth? Om Namah Shivay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sachinpc 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Chirag Please read my experience, it may be helpful for you on what you might want to expect. In 2002 , I ordered a 6 mukhi rudraksha on the internet. just out of curiosity, since I had read so much , I was curious about it. I bought it from astrospeak.com, I was not even sure if the Rudraksha ordered was genuine. When I received the rudraksha , I was pleasently delighted to see a well oiled , shining Rudraksha. I was so excited that I didnt say all the mantras given in the sheet of paper accompanying it. I just wore it around my neck. After about 5 mins I felt a strong feeling around my jaw and cheek bones. I could feel my tongue being pushed to the palate. I felt very "solid" and heavy in the head. I felt like closing my eyes. I sat like that for 15-20 mins ..I was in office and was worried at the same time as to what was happening to me. I couldnt concentrate on anything but the extremly pleseant feeling in my head. I felt it when I stood up , sat down, couldnt have lunch properly that day. just felt like sitting in a place and relaxing and enjoying that feeling in my head. After this experience I ordered many rudrakshas all from 1 mukhi to 14 mukhi, out of more curiosity. However of all the rudrakshas only the 11 mukhi (when worn on top of the head) and 14 mukhi ( I am wearing it on my forehead right now ) could be compared to the 6 mukhi. The 14 mukhi and 11 mukhi are infact much much stronger than the 6 mukhi.The rest of my rudrakshas werent as strong. I stopped wearing the rudrakshas continuously since sometimes that strong-deep feeling didnt allow me to think anything. It was always pushing me into a trance like feeling. I would wear them for half an hour after bath during morning prayers. I tried to find a lot of answers to the questions, as to what is happening , why a simple seed is sending me into a trance. I am not sure why this happens. Being scientific by nature, I searched all the wikipedias and read about human neurology, hormones. After reading all this, I can explain the heaviness induced by Rudraksha to be produced because of hormoes released from the anterior pituatary lobe. The anterior pituatary lobe secretes many major hormones in the body. One family of hormones secreted by this gland are endorphins . These are the "internal painkillers" of the body. They are known in medical community as endogeneous opiods. I am not sure medical science has done enough research on these hormones. I am sure , they are a lot more than mere pain killers. I am continuing to do more research in this direction. I am sure I would be able to find a link between Yoga, Moksha and physiology. More than just the beneficial effects I am also curious to know if endorphin production in the body is high, could it affect testoterone productions and fertility. Or how would it affect metabolism in the long term. I am planning to undergo a few diagnostic tests in the recent future . Maybe they will throw more light on this issue. will keep everyone posted on the same. Regards sachin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dharini 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 Hi, I received a Siddhi mala from Rudrakshanepal.com and it was on red thread. i took it out of the box and chanted the mantra for Shiva as directed. We are in a drought and there was a water restriction. So I said, "Shiva, make it rain, please." Rain it did-totally unexpected per the weathermen. Messed up some Memorial Day weekend picnics as well. It is an amazing piece. The thread broke three times while in India however. I think red is good for rudraksha-just based on the results.
