Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Om Namah Sivaya Rudraksha What is rudraksha? It is a seed which manifested from the waters which appeared from the three holy eyes of the Lord of Mount Kailas (Siva), when the devas petitioned Him on account of the distress caused to them by the Asuras (demons) of the "Tri Pura" (the Three Cities, one of gold, one of silver and one of iron). Who are qualified to wear rudraksha? Persons who do not drink alcoholic liquor or eat meat, fish or eggs and who conduct themselves with purity. What will happen to persons who drink alcoholic liquor or eat meat, fish or eggs while wearing rudraksha? They will fall without fail into hell and experience sufferings. At what times is it essential to wear rudraksha? It is essential to wear rudraksha while performing "santhiyavanthanam" (a kind of worship at dawn, noon and dusk), chanting of mantras of Siva, puja to Siva, meditation on Siva, worship at a Siva temple, recital of Sivapurana, listening to Sivapurana, "sraaddha", etc. If these are performed without wearing rudraksha the good effects will be very little. (Sraaddha is a rite performed generally annually, under the direction of a priest for a deceased parent.) Should not rudraksha be worn when bathing? It can be worn. Water which drips after touching rudraksha when a person is bathing is equal to water from the (holy river) Ganges. --- By Saint Arumuga Navalar Sivaya Namah Sent from - a smarter inbox.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Aum Namah Sivaya! Well this is one saints opinion. Many other saints totally disagree with this completely. All can wear and benefit from rudraksha. Bom Mahadev! Surya - Selvaratnam Selvakumar Sunday, December 16, 2007 4:19 PM Saivism Q & A 7 Om Namah Sivaya Rudraksha What is rudraksha?
