Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 In Chapter VI of the SriMad Devi Bhagavatam, it is stated in parts 40 to 54 the story of one Guna Nidhi who was a most disgusting criminal who finally died. When Lord Yama's attendants came for him, Lord Shiva's attendants also arrived at the same time. Yama's attendants enquired why Shiva's attendants wanted to take Guna Nidhi to Shivaloka. The reply was that because there being rudraksha 10 feet below where he died, he is prevented from going to hell. Thus is the story of a terrible criminal who never in his life wore rudraksha but went to Shivaloka just because the holy beads were near him at the time of death.
