Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Namaste! We have seen that some Rudraksha are hard to count, lines too close together. Other Rudrakshas are very easy to count with even spaced lines. Is there any difference in potency? Value? Example: I have an 11 mukhi. If I count carefully I get 10 mukhi, count carefully again I get 11 mukhi, count carefully again I get 12 mukhi. So I'm unable to sell because of this. Client has same problem in counting so will not buy because not sure. What is the solution? Best wishes, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Namaste, As u said earlier 'The truth lies inside and not outside' Take a X-ray of rudraksha and count the no of seads inside. If it is 11 it is 11...you sell it along with X-ray report.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 dear friend the same problem was faced by me several times earlier, after which i am encouraging my customers to buy collector grade best quality rudraksha which are large in size and naturally the gap between the lines is wide and easily countable by naked eye. for those who cannot afford, they have to settle for the normal ones which have few lines in close juxtaposition especially in the middle portion on either side. the rudraksha which you are referring seems to be a 12mukhi rudraksha and hence you shall offer it as a 12mukh rudraksha to your customer. in view of the above you may also encourage customers to buy large sized rudraksha albeit they cost more. some buyers may wonder why these collector grade rudraksha are often double or much much higher than the normal rudraksha prices. for those who are not aware as to how the prices of rudraksha are determined, i wish to tell them that these days a rudraksha tree is auctioned and the buyer pays a lump sum per tree and more than 90% of the rudraksha from that tree are 4,5 or 6mukh rudraksha which are very inexpensive and even if the buyer sells all the quantity of these he would not get even half the amount he paid per tree. in the balance less than 10% produce, he would find the higher mukhis which is why their supply is less and are priced higher. out of these higher mukhis, the larger ones are rarest and hence command a huge premium which discerning customers are happy to pay. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com sacred-objects , " Richard Shaw-Brown " <rsbj66 wrote: > > Namaste! > > We have seen that some Rudraksha are hard to count, lines too close together.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Dear Shri Richardji, Namaste, Rudraksha with lines too close may have some seeds sharing common chamber and my reduce the potency as compared to well spaced lines. The counting issue is very common problem with people who buy higher mukhi Rudraksha for the first time and try to count it. The experts who have been dealing personally with Rudraksha for 10 to 15 years would never face this problem. The customer should blieve the source, and if I buy from AGT I would not bother to count. This my opinion based on my 10 years of experiance with Rudraksha. Other learned members can throw more light.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Dear All, Namaste!!! So I guess we must conclude that Rudraksha with lines too close together are " low quality " and those with evenly spaced lines are " high quality. " I would guess the potency would also be like that. Though even a " low quality " Rudraksha is blessed and auspicious; as different from gems, which are bad luck if " low quality " (according to Shastra like Sri Garuda Puranam).

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I don't think it will be wise to characterize Rudraksha as Low quality or High Quality. Rudraksh is Lord Shiva's Blessing. Either there is a blessing or there is no blessing. One more thing: In case anybody finds difficulty in finding whether a mukh is clearly denined or not(in case of two lines too near) we can rely on number of lines clearly originating from the mouth and ending at the tail. I hope this will help in doubtful cases as mentioned by Richard Ji where its difficult to conclude an 11 or 12 mukhi. With Best Regards Deven Richard Shaw-Brown <rsbj66 wrote: Dear All,Namaste!!!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Sri Dev, Namaste!!! Om sri sri gauri-shankarabhyam namah!!! Yes, as I had mentioned, even malformed (lower quality) are fully auspicious (as different than with gems). But because the malformed seeds are harder to count, and harder to sell, so they cost less. Therefore, from material standpoint we must characterize as low qualty=cheaper, high quality=expensive. It is common sense. While, yes! All Rudraksha qualities are fully auspicious.
