smoking and rudraksha

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jagannath,

 

Thanks for your kind input, sharing your personal experience with us. Its very

inspiring what you've written. Congratulations for having quit smoking and not

being affected by smokers around you! You certainly have strong inner resource

once you made up your mind. Keep it up!

 

Best wishes.

past 13 years. But with the blessings of Lord Shiva and his Rudraksha, I

developed the power to leave this firmly. Its been past 11 months since I smoked

and I now sometimes have to stay in company of some smokers, but and least

affected or tempted by it.

to me) but Sumit ji believe me, the love and affection given by Lord Shiva is

boundaryless and limitless. Now even if something no so pleasing happens with

me, I started developing the feeling that he is surely there to tell me, teach

me and help me accept certain things without making me react or become angry to

things.

a personal choice. Its true that smoking is hard to quit, however sometimes

rudraksha helps smokers to give up the habit with the passage of time.

It all takes time to quit any habit if its possible to quit. God still loves us

and knows everything. You are doing the right things with your rudraksha mala,

don't worry.

following the mantra jaap very religiously but I am skeptical about one thing at

many places it's mentioned that one should not smoke while wearing a rudraksha

but I am a chain smoker although I want to leave this habit but I am finding it

difficult to do so am I not going to benefit from these rudraksha if I will keep

on smoking? I am a bengali and non-veg is just like a staple diet for us but

these days I am refraining from eating non-veg but whenever I eat non-veg I try

to take of the rudraksha or next day I take bath and wash my rudraksha before

wearing it so is it fine to do so.Kindly help me with my queries.
