Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Can Tulasi and Rudraksha be used together In short, there is not a conflict of interest if one walks the straight and middle path. If you want to be a tyagi Vaishnava, full of misery, then just offend Lord Shiva by ignoring His blessings. Lord Shiva is the GREATEST Vaishnava, as well as being one of the Trimurti, and He is said to be God as yougurt is milk. Many people are afraid to become Vaishnavas because they fear material ruination. This is not the case. Vishnu is not ones ill-wisher. God has better things to do than cause his devotees to be in poverty. In fact, His consort is the Goddess of Fortune Herself. Lord Hari doesn't even recriprocate unless He is approached (asked). Just as ghee is in the cow's body but there is no benefit to the cow; it is by milking the cow, creating ghee, and feeding the gree to the cow that it derives benefit. In the same way God is in everyone, but He normally doesn't act unless requested to do so (prayer). I wear a Tulasi neck mala complete with a 14 mukhi Rudraksha. And there is no conflict. Tulasi is fine and Rudraksha is fine. FINE+FINE=FINE. Lord Krishna taught Yukta Vairagya, or balanced life, not poverty. We must be self sufficent and not be a burden. And for material and spiritual blessings Rudraksha is the most recommended talisman in the Shastras. It is the ultimate Hindu talisman, and is available to all, rich and poor. Om Shreem!!!
