Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Namaste Lisa, whenever you have questions, just ask and we shall try to assist Normally most other learned people suggest 30 to 40 days. But from my traditional training and experience, 45 days minimum is best. And if one can continue wearing a mala after that, is even better. Yes its possible for ladies. For example, I know many Brahmin ladies who continously wear their rudraksha and the beads keep their energies. The energy does not stop. Yes you can also touch the beads during this stage. Aum Namah Shivaya can also be recited for maximum benefit. Its unnecessary to follow rules set by conservatives or those who are superstitious. Tell you one story in simple words: There was a girl who only wanted to marry Shiva. In order to achieve her dream, she performed severe and extremely austere penances like fasting and reciting mantra to make Him come to her. She continued the process for many years and did not stop (even during monthly cycle, we would assume). Finally Shiva came to her and they married. The above story is from a Sankrit text translated into English but I cannot remember the title of either version. I've read too many and my memory retention is not good about certain holy texts. Maybe other friends can tell us which ancient book the story came from. Also I cannot recall any ancient text that mentions women cannot wear during monthly cycle. The above story of non-stop penance by the girl for many years is an example that women can wear safely to gain darshan of Lord Shiva. Rudraksha has no side effects. It is Shiva's tears to save mankind out of compassion. It means He has compassion for women too. The other thing is: if women can carry on wearing gems during monthly cycle, why not rudraksha? Don't worry, your bhakti will have good results. Aum Namah Shivaya , Lisa Sh <Shukra_ wrote: > > > Dear Narasimhaye > > Namaste. I would have again some questions. Due to monthly cycle of ladies, I can never complete 40 days wearing a mala. It is always said that it is recommended to wear at least 30-40 days a rudraksha. But it is not possible for ladies. So, is it stopping energy of the rudraksha? Can we touch to rudrakshas during this period? Can we continue to chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya during cycle? I would like to complete 40 days. I am not asking the rules accepted by conservatives but the best action to get maximum benefit. > > Thanks in advance and best wishes > > Aum Aum > Lisa > _______________ > Live.com'u deneyin - hýzlý ve kiþiselleþtirilmiþ giriþ sayfanýzla istediðiniz her þey tek bir yerde. > http://www.live.com/getstarted > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
