Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 dear friend most rudraksha retailers (no names required) have bought huge quantities of rudraksha from the names i have taken and these very same buyers are now criticising these suppliers for selling fake round ek mukhi. since these very retailers have asked me how and where i got it, i need to mention the source. hope you now understand why i took the supplier names. any way, instead of discussing commercial and sourcing issues, we need to discuss more on the subject to learn and share more. hence we can close the thread here and discuss more on the subject. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com sacred-objects , Siddharth Mishra <sidhmis wrote: > > Dear Friends, > It is really bad on the part of both the suppliers you named if they are selling a bead of Rs. 1700/- in 5 Lakhs or in few lakhs. They will loose their credibility. But more important is that > why at all there is a need of naming a particular supplier and defame him stating that he has sold some Rudraksha for 5 Lakhs which is available for Rs. 1700 to Rs. 2000. I think it is highly immature on your part Mr Arjun. Again in the second line of your mail below you are naming some other supplier and declaring infront of group that he is selling 1 Mukhi bead in few Lakhs now also, this is again highly incorrect. > Now even if they were selling good and genuine beads, few devotees might not buy Rudrakshas from them as you are trying to justify something incorrect. Now you writing these type of mails clearly proves that you are guilty conscious. > I think in this forum let us not prove our points by naming some person, that means what ever we say does not have any standing and since we are naming other persons so may be readers may believe us. > I think you need to post mails when you are 100% sure that what you are writing is substantiated by facts and other thing is lets discuss something constructive in this forum. > I dont think this forum is made to settle the scores. So these personal discussions can be done in the respective mail ID'S, No member is interested in all this crap. > And now for Lord Shiva sake pl dont sell for 2 or 3 Lakhs the 1 Mukhi bead after knowing that 1 Mukhi bead which has actually 4 or 5 seeds inside only costs Rs. 1700 to Rs. 2000. > > Siddharth > > > panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: > dear amitji > > the mail to you was written in the group 48 hours before but it > appeared after two days and hence i called you in the middle. > > here is the truth based on facts: > > 1. mukundaji sold ek mukh rudraksha for few lakhs of rupees earlier. > 2. agarwalji is stil selling this ek mukh rudraksha for few lakhs. > 3. you made a definite statement in your mail that you have seen the > same round ek mukh rudraksha with sanjay agarwal for rs.1700 which is > false. > 3.1. when i called you, you mentioned that it was HEARSAY and you > have seen these at a shop in chandnichowk and that shopowner has told > you that he got these from sanjay agarwal. > 3.2. i called that chandnichowk supplier and mr.sanjay agarwal > visited this shopowner and called me from that place as well and both > have confirmed that this chandnichowk supplier has bought these > SIMILAR round ek mukh rudraksha from SOMEONE ELSE and not from > agarwal rudraksha. > > hope members note this truth. > > writing in public groups based on HEARSAY words instead of having > seen first hand is not truth. here, i appreciate ishwarji of > bangalore when he said he was shown by agarwalji same beads for a > couple of lakhs earlier which sanjay agarwalji too confirmed. what > ishwarji said about sanjay agarwal is truth and what you said is > false. > > truth remains truth when heard from the supplier, buyer or the third > person. > > most of those criticising this round rudraksha have bought millions > of rupees worth other rudraksha from these two suppliers and are > still buying. if they all, including you, feel that these two > reputed wholesale suppliers have sold fake beads of round ek mukh > rudraksha and are still selling the same, what credibility you all > place on the other rudrakshas that you all bought from them. > > hence i made it a point to mention the source and give the contact > details of the supplier so that the buyer has a right to know from > where i got these rudraksha and whether that supplier is trustworthy > or not. > > by the way my supplier has given 100% buyback guarantee for genuinity > of the round ek mukh rudraksha and even in the worst case of a > customer returning on not getting satisfied of the genuinity, the > customer would get the full amount refunded. hence my customers dont > worry about the genuinity as he gets a genuine product or he gets > 100% money refunded. > > with best wishes and blessings > pandit arjun > www.rudraksharemedy.com > > sacred-objects , " amit uniyal " <devshoppe@> > wrote: > > > > Dear Pandit Arjun ji, > > I find ur behaviour bit strange.Yesterday morning at 7' am u called > > me and talked to me for around 1 hour.During our conversation u > > agreeed 1000 times, that u have bought these beads for high prices. > > I also said that i will arrange these beads for u in just 2000, and > > finally u thanked me. > > Now, today u r posting this message in group.I can see only these > > reasons for this posting:- > > > > (1) You dont want ur customers to read my earlier post. > > (2) You have bought and are selling these on killing prices. > > (3) You fear that people will know the real prices and this may > harm > > you. > > (4) As far as Nepa Rudraksha is concerned, MR Mukunda sold these > > beads when no1 else was selling, he collected lakhs and when he > > found that some of his competitors are selling it for thousands of > > rupee, he stopped selling these . > > (5) Now, i will arrange these beads and will upload the pics in > this > > group itself....so that people can understand that the bead for > > which they are spending lakhs of rupee can be available in just > > thousands. > > > > Thank u > > Amit uniyal > > > > > > > > > > sacred-objects , " panditarjun2004 " > > <panditarjun2004@> wrote: > > > > > > dear friend amit > > > > > > as you may be aware i bought these round ek mukh rudraksha from > > shri > > > sanjay agarwalji and he denies having ever seen or sold a round > ek > > > mukh rudraksha for the amounts rs.1500 to rs.2000.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Dear Respected Sirs, Can any body please show the picture of 1 muki round rudraksha, best regards Vignheshakshay vignhesh <akshay_vignhesh wrote: dear ishwar JI Is this details are for one tree or how is it best regards Vignheshishwar33 <ishwarn (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote: Dear Friends,I have taken following production details from rudrakshanepal.com, which clearly indicates that only 2 to 3 Nos of 1 Mukhi round beads are produced per year and every year more than specified nos of 1 mukhi round sold. From these figures one can easily conclude that there is lot of manipulation in the Rudraksha market and one should rely on the test for costly beads, just like we do for gems. In my opinion, nobody would put geniune Eka Mukhi Gol dana for sale.In overall, the quantity of Rudrakshas produced which has the following trend since 50 years.....1 face- 2 to 3 pieces 2 face- around 100 pieces3 face- around 2000 pieces4 face,5 face,6 face -more than 1 million pieces 7 face- not more than 20 thousand pieces8 face- to 12 face- around 2000 pieces13 face- not more than 600 pieces 14 face and 15 face- not more than 200 pieces each16 face and 17 face- not more than 30 pieces 18 face,19 face and twenty face-less than 10 pieces 21 face- not more than 2 pieces Gaurishankar- 2000 pieces Ganesh Rudraksha- 5000 pieces Trijuti- not more than 5 pieces Higher mukhis – Extremely rare, with at most 1 or 2 pieces producedOm Tat Sat.-ishwar-sacred-objects , "panditarjun2004" <panditarjun2004 wrote:>> dear amitji> > the mail to you was written in the group 48 hours before but it > appeared after two days and hence i called you in the middle.> > here is the truth based on facts:> > 1. mukundaji sold ek mukh rudraksha for few lakhs of rupees earlier.> 2. agarwalji is stil selling this ek mukh rudraksha for few lakhs.> 3. you made a definite statement in your mail that you have seen the > same round ek mukh rudraksha with sanjay agarwal for rs.1700 which is > false.> 3.1. when i called you, you mentioned that it was HEARSAY and you > have seen these at a shop in chandnichowk and that shopowner has told > you that he got these from sanjay agarwal.> 3.2. i called that chandnichowk supplier and mr.sanjay agarwal > visited this shopowner and called me from that place as well and both > have confirmed that this chandnichowk supplier has bought these > SIMILAR round ek mukh rudraksha from SOMEONE ELSE and not from > agarwal rudraksha.> > hope members note this truth.> > writing in public groups based on HEARSAY words instead of having > seen first hand is not truth. here, i appreciate ishwarji of > bangalore when he said he was shown by agarwalji same beads for a > couple of lakhs earlier which sanjay agarwalji too confirmed. what > ishwarji said about sanjay agarwal is truth and what you said is > false.> > truth remains truth when heard from the supplier, buyer or the third > person.> > most of those criticising this round rudraksha have bought millions > of rupees worth other rudraksha from these two suppliers and are > still buying. if they all, including you, feel that these two > reputed wholesale suppliers have sold fake beads of round ek mukh > rudraksha and are still selling the same, what credibility you all > place on the other rudrakshas that you all bought from them.> > hence i made it a point to mention the source and give the contact > details of the supplier so that the buyer has a right to know from > where i got these rudraksha and whether that supplier is trustworthy > or not.> > by the way my supplier has given 100% buyback guarantee for genuinity > of the round ek mukh rudraksha and even in the worst case of a > customer returning on not getting satisfied of the genuinity, the > customer would get the full amount refunded. hence my customers dont > worry about the genuinity as he gets a genuine product or he gets > 100% money refunded. > > with best wishes and blessings> pandit arjun> www.rudraksharemedy.com> > sacred-objects , "amit uniyal" <devshoppe@> > wrote:> >> > Dear Pandit Arjun ji,> > I find ur behaviour bit strange.Yesterday morning at 7' am u called > > me and talked to me for around 1 hour.During our conversation u > > agreeed 1000 times, that u have bought these beads for high prices.> > I also said that i will arrange these beads for u in just 2000, and > > finally u thanked me.> > Now, today u r posting this message in group.I can see only these > > reasons for this posting:-> > > > (1) You dont want ur customers to read my earlier post.> > (2) You have bought and are selling these on killing prices.> > (3) You fear that people will know the real prices and this may > harm > > you.> > (4) As far as Nepa Rudraksha is concerned, MR Mukunda sold these > > beads when no1 else was selling, he collected lakhs and when he > > found that some of his competitors are selling it for thousands of > > rupee, he stopped selling these .> > (5) Now, i will arrange these beads and will upload the pics in > this > > group itself....so that people can understand that the bead for > > which they are spending lakhs of rupee can be available in just > > thousands.> > > > Thank u> > Amit uniyal> > > > > > > > > > sacred-objects , "panditarjun2004" > > <panditarjun2004@> wrote:> > >> > > dear friend amit> > > > > > as you may be aware i bought these round ek mukh rudraksha from > > shri > > > sanjay agarwalji and he denies having ever seen or sold a round > ek > > > mukh rudraksha for the amounts rs.1500 to rs.2000.
