GENERALLY RUDRAKSHA=ULTIMATE TALISMAN IN SANATANA DHARMA

" THERE IS ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT THE POWERS OF GEMS IN SHASTRA, BUT

SHASTRAS

ARE FULL

OF QUOTES PRAISING RUDRAKSHA "

 

Dos Mukhi (Ten faces) -Ruling Deity: Pra Sri Maha Vishnu - Ruling

Planets:

Sri Navaratna: 10 mukhi is the most ideal seed to set with the nine

jyotish

gems to achieve Nava Graha shanta or pacification of all the 9

planets.

Shakti: To acquire the mercy and protection of Lord Vishnu in all His

Ten

Incarnations. Also known to pacify Nava-graha or the Nine Jyotish

Planets

(Nava-graha shanta). Good fortune in all respects. Mantra: Om Dos

Vaktrasya

Om Hrim Namah

 

Lord Vishnu, major god of Hinduism and Indian mythology, popularly

regarded

as the preserver of the universe. Some Puranic literature refers to

him as

the eternal, all-pervading spirit and associates him with the primeval

waters believed to have been omnipresent before the creation of the

world.

So regarded, Vishnu is depicted frequently in human form, sleeping on

the

great serpent Shesha and floating on the waters. One hand holds a

lotus; a

second holds a conch; a third holds a discus (which always returns by

itself

after being thrown); and the fourth carries a mace. The petals of the

lotus

are believed to symbolize the unfolding of creation; the conch is

said to

symbolize that from which all existence originates; and the discus

and the

mace reputedly were obtained by Lord Vishnu as rewards for defeating

the God

Indra.

 

Lord Vishnu is said to possess also a special sword called Nadaka and

a

special bow called Sarnga. His wife is Goddess Lakshmi (also known as

Shri),

goddess of beauty and fortune. He rides a huge creature, half bird

and half

man, called Gandara. His home is in a heaven called Vaikuntha (where

the

Ganges River is believed to flow from its source at Vishnu's feet).

The god

has a thousand names, the repetition of which is regarded as an act of

devotion. The representing deity of 10 mukhi is Lord Narayana (The

Preserver). It helps the wearer to overcome difficult times and

ensures that

the wearer and the family of the wearer is protected. It creates a

feeling

of security. It works like a shield on one's body and drives evils

away.

Wearer is protected from influence of evil spirit , ghosts and black

magic.

There is no ruling planet for this bead and it pacifies all negative

planetary energy. One wears this by the blessings of Lord Mahavishnu.

Excellent for narayana bhaktas (devotees). One gets the power to

concentrate

well. Also aids in devotion and meditation.

 

Excerpts from Holy Books

 

Siva Purana Vidyesvara Samhita Translated by Shastri 1973. Siva said-

O Siva Mahesani be pleased to hear the greatness of Rudraksha. I

speak out

of love for you from a desire for the benefit of the devotee of Siva.

 

O Mahesani formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of

divine

years. Although I had controlled it rigorously my mind was in

flutter. Out

of sport, I being self possessed just opened my eyes. O Goddess, from

a

desire of helping the worlds, drops of tears fell from my beautiful

half

closed eyes. From those tear drops there cropped up the Rudraksha

Plants.

 

They became immobile. In order to bless the devotees they were given

to the

four varnas devoted to worship of Visnu.

 

O Parmesvari no other necklace or garland is observed in the world to

be so

auspicious and fruitful as the Rudraksha.

 

People of all varnas and Asramas even Women and Sudras can wear

Rudraksa at

the bidding of Siva. The Ascetics shall wear it with the Pranava.

 

Even the devotees of Visnu and other Dieties shall unhesitatingly

wear the

Rudraksa. Especially the devotee of Rudra shall wear Rudraksha always.

 

O Mahesani, Rudraksa with ten faces is Lord Janardana Himself. O

Devasi by

wearing it the devotee shall achieve the fulfillment of all desires.

 

Seeing a devotee with the garland of Rudraksas O Parvati, Siva,

Visnu, devi,

Ganapati, the Sun and all the gods are pleased.

 

Srimaddevibhagavat 11th Skand Chapter IV, Narayana said-

 

Ten Mukhi Rudraksa is Visnu and removes all the tears and troubles

due from

planets, evil powers and snakes.

Chapter V,God said-

 

Wearer of Rudraksa on hair tuft on the crown, in ear, in neck, in

hand and

in abdomen attains the status of Siva, Visnu and Brahma.

 

Mantramaharnava, Lord Siva said-

A Rudraksha with 10 Faces is General of an army and is also Visnu

Himself.

It sublimates the malefic effects of planets, evil powers and

eliminates

snakes

 

Srimad Devi Bhagavat 11th Canto, Chap. III. Lord Vishnu said, " A man

wearing

fourteen mukhi Rudraksa becomes highly auspicious, like Lord Shiva.

Anyone

who wears even one Rudraksha seed is always admired like saintly men

and

deities and can even attain liberation. "

 

Srimad Devi Bhagavat 11th Canto, Chapter V verse 25 to 26 it is

stated, " The

desire for wearing Rudraksha is the result of attaining the

perfection of

knowledge and Blessings of God during previous births. "

 

Padma Puranam, Chapter 57, Sri Bhagavan said, " If a man always wears a

Rudraksa with fourteen mouths, permeated with God's auspicious power,

he is

always honored and blessed by the demigods due to the greatness of his

religious merit. "

 

" Na vaishnavanam-yatha-shamboh!!! " - Shastra quotes, " There is NO

Vaishnava

equal to Shamboo!. " So what could be more Vaishnava oriented!? How

does

Shukra remind us about Krishna any more than Shiva?

 

Hinduism has very few real talismans. Shalagram, Tulasi, etc., these

are not

talismans. These are causeless bhakti. A strict devotee never seeks

good

luck. The gems are also " karma misra bhakti " as is Rudraksha. Gems are

hardly 10% as powerful as Rudraksha. And Shukradeva has hardly 10% of

the

greatness of Lord Shiva. Rudraksha is in fact the ultimate talisman in

Sanatana Dharma. They are pure blessing of God, in His form as " Param

Vaishnava Shankar. " If any devotee (of any God) wants good luck they

need

look no further than Rudraksha and Gems. And if they are not caring

about

good luck, then they should take 100% shelter of Krishna, come what

may.

 

Padma Puranam, Chapter 57, Sri Bhagavan uvaca, " If a man always wears

a

Rudraksa, especially with fourteen mouths, permeated with God's

auspicious

power, he is always honoured and blessed by the demigods due to the

greatness of his religious merit. " ---THIS is Lord Vishnu speaking.

 

There are many Vedic quotes by Lord Hari Himself praising Rudraksha.

There

is almost NOTHING about the powers of gems in Shastra, but Shastras

are FULL

of quotes praising Rudraksha.

 

And these Rudrakshas have different attributes noticed since

thousands of

years. Shaat-mukhi (6 faced) is related to Venus. And tantric Diamond

also

relates to Venus. So in absence of a BIG diamond, a combination of 6

faced

Rudraksha with smaller diamond is a " double Venus " talisman... For

GOOD

LUCK, which is Karma misra bhakti.

 

Also, Rudraksha cost almost nothing compared to gems. They are 10

times more

potent. For example, for Sade Sati there is nothing better on Earth

than 14

faced Rudraksha, and has been so for thousands of years. No gem can

come

close.

 

For pure causeless bhakti there is no desire for talismans. And

karma-misra-bhakti can use gems and Rudraksha. Of the two, Rudraksha

of

Param Bhagavat Lord Shiva Mahadeva is far superior with 0 bad effects

and

all auspicious for anyone. Thank God!!!
