Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Namaste Clandestinely, Bless you for this wonderful explanation, Iam sure this would lay to rest all doubts and queries regarding the various sizes and prices attached to the holy beads. I liked this part the best and agree with it completely ""In the end, all I'd like to point out is: rudraksha is Bhole Baba's blessing: Whatever beads are destined for us, make their way to us, and the others will not seem to be a possibility: be it through selection, or affordability.""

There are always rare things in every category of anything: be it pearls, diamonds, rubies, etc. etc. and they are more expensive. Let's take an example besides rudraksha. Let's take the Pearl. The regular cultured pearl is cheaper than a South Sea pearl, which is cheaper than a Natural pearl. But all of them do have positive effect on you (albeit to different degrees) if it is a recommended gem for you. The natural pearl is the best, but for many unaffordable. Each to their cup of tea!Amongst rudraksha too, there are attributes that make certain ones more precious. The reason is obviously because they are rare and not produced as much by trees: and these rare one then want to be possessed by people who collect. There is a demand-supply dynamic that works here that justifies the high price. If you can afford, why not go for the collector beads? But if you cannot afford them even the regular ones will bless you and provide momentum to your spiritual development: the collector/ bigger Nepal ones might get you on a jet plane speed, and the smaller/Java ones might take you on a boat speed for your spiritual journey. For some people with ripe karmas and elevated spirituality, even a tiny beads mala might give the jet plane experience. The spiritual utility of what which bead will give a human is relative. (If there was a mathematical derivation for everything, life would be a percentile chart! Hmm…I wonder how that would make life.)Another example…….Some brides wear meager gold-plated silver jewellery while others load themselves in platinum and collector diamonds on their wedding days. Is the sanctity of the nuptial bond lesser for the ones with meager jewellery? Or should we question why jewelers sell pricier diamonds when cheaper ones equally signify the blessing of an engagement ring? It's all a matter of personal discrimination, choice and finances. Everything is out there to choose from: different formulas for different people with their unique needs and goals. In the end, all I'd like to point out is: rudraksha is Bhole Baba's blessing: Whatever beads are destined for us, make their way to us, and the others will not seem to be a possibility: be it through selection, or affordability. (Take my case: I would absolutely love to have the Nepal beads Indrakshi mala, charged in Ati Rudra worth $178,000 something, but doesn't look like a possibility: can only do that if I were to win a big time lottery!!)My best wishes to you Chandan ji, in your quest with this divine bead. May Bolenath bless you with his choice of beads for you soon.Om Namah Shivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
