Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Merry Meet Sandra Nice to see you again and hear of your wonderful experiences since wearing rudraksha. As Wicca and Hinduism are Pagan faiths, there are many similarities. There are as many schools of thought and practice in Wicca as there are in Hinduism. Hinduism is not actually a religion as such. Its right name is 'Santana Dharma', loosely translated as a 'Way of Life'. It is marvellous to know that you've undergone such great transformations as a result of rudraksha enhancing all the qualities and virtues you already possess. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm very happy to hear your news. It is also great merit to introduce the sacred beads to those near and dear to you as well as your customers so that they may also benefit from rudraksha. Persons from strict Brahmin, some other backgrounds and superstitious upbringing would not wear rudraksha to funerals, hospitals and to the house where there's a newborn baby. Most others, by wearing their rudraksha, protect themselves during such visits and will also gain merit as follows: a. Funerals -> Lord Yama (Lord of Death) and his attendants cannot take the soul of the deceased to hell when there is presence of rudraksha (this is mentioned in the Puranas). b. Hospitals -> As rudraksha are Lord Shiva's tears, shed to save mankind from sorrows and are also healing beads, they are therefore conducive to healing. The person in hospital can certainly benefit from a visitor who is wearing rudraksha. c. New Baby -> There is a rudraksha that assist mothers to conceive and it is the Garbh Gauri (representing Parvati and Lord Ganesha). Since rudraksha can give life, it surely must also benefit a new baby when someone visits who is wearing rudraksha (at least this is my experience). Another reason is that babies can also wear rudraksha to assuage certain ailments, gain strength, eat well and grow healthily.
