Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Namaste Gina, its not at all a strange question so there's an apology is not necessary The first paragraph of your message is the most preferable practice as the electromagnetic properties of your rudraksha have bonded with you. If you purchase a mala or bead from a market, there is no telling that the previous owner is of your own generation. You would have to ask the seller to furnish more information. At the same time, be aware that the seller may tell you what he/she thinks you wish to hear. Only you can gauge whether he/she is telling the truth or lying when speaking to the seller in person. There isn't a puja as such to nullify your energies from the beads before giving them to someone else. But you can try washing, drying and oiling them first. Then place them on the altar and offer flowers, fruit, unsalted nuts, milk, honey and prayers to Lord Shiva, telling Him why you wish to give your rudraksha away and seeking His blessings. If your upaguru tells you there is no conflict, then there won't be one (most likely). You know your friend and her vibes best. If you feel there will not be a loss of energy on your part after gifting, then that's fine. However, if something has benefited you such as your Siddha Bracelet, its best to keep it. Its very generous of you to want to give it to your friend. But its more advisable to give her/him something else in the interim and tell your friend you have something special coming soon, that is have a new Siddha Bracelet made for the person. Here's a true story: A person gave her rudraksha mala and a terminated clear quartz to her best friend who was doing poorly in circumstances with no career prospects. She was going to replace the items later. Before she could do that, she went down with a bad flu, lost her strength and subsequently prosperity literally went out the door. Her friend flourished on the other hand and went on to create a successful small business within a short period of time, found a boyfriend and a social group. That was years ago. To this day, the giver has not recovered. Coincidence? We don't know for sure. Anyhow, don't take my word for it, I'm only sharing thoughts based on other people's experiences. Like mentioned before, you know your friend best and can gauge the energies (or energy exchange) between the two of you. Most of all, follow your Upaguru's advice.
