Oiling of the Rudraksha Beads

[Guest guest]

Thanks narasimhaye, I will club the book with my next order of beads

 

My eleven mukhi nepali is light brown, were as the 7, 8, and 9 mukhi

nepali are darker brown. I wear them when I shower and haven't seen

any noticeable change in color, however if I were to oil them they

will turn a shade darker.

 

In my search for knowing the answer to my question I came across this

conversation elsewhere. Its between Kirk, and DharmaDev Arya.

Both seemed to frequent this group in the past.

 

 

kirk:

 

If this is true then again posit that white beads clear spiritual

obstructions, red-mental, brown-emotional, and black-physical

obstructions (called kleshas in the Yoga Sutras.) So in other words,

each color rudraksha effects a stratum of ones life, perhaps working

on what are known as koshas or sheaths of ones beings with finest

working most deeply within and crudest rudrakshas working on the

grosser elements of ones person. This may well be a good working rule

of thumb when presented with lots of various facets and colors of

rudrakshas because as far as varna goes the various chores of the

profession used to be representative of the caste but in today's world

are all mixed together in our daily lives.

 

DharmaDev Arya: (aka ShiningLotus)

 

Dear Kirkji

 

Thank you for an immense amount of Knowledge in this message. I will

copy this for future reference so I can explain this to others when

they ask also

 

I spoke with Miss Neeta again and she told me she has now found supply

for the White Sandy White 3 Mukhi Rudraksa and this is really

important because this Rudraska contains the Trinity of Gods Brahma

Visnu and Siva as Mahesh and the trinity of Gunas Sattva Rajas Tamas

and the three Spheres Sky Earth and Pataal the underground with their

divine powers

 

References state for its divine powers the 3 Mukhi Rudraksa with

ruleing planet Mars is the most sacred powerful and the best

 

Now we have the White 2 Mukhi and the 3 Mukhi and hope to find more

 

Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum

 

Thanks and Take Care

 

DharmaDev Arya
