Hey
Shonak ! You possess great intellect and wisdom. I am going to describe
in brief the glory of Rudraksha, which is a divine form of Shiva.
(1)
|
|
| * |
This
Rudraksha is closest to Shiva's heart. It is extremely sacred. It
is said that by the virtue, touch and worshipping of Rudraksha brings
about destruction of all evils. (2) |
|
* |
Firstly,
Lord Shiva's desire for the benefit of mankind, he described the
glory of Rudraksha to Devi Parvati.(3) |
|
| * |
Hey
Maheshani ! Listen to the power and glory of Rudraksha. Because
of your love, I say this for the welfare and benefit of devotees.(4)
|
|
| * |
Hey
Maheshani ! Long ago, while practicing self-restraint and meditation
for thousands of years my mind was agitated.(5)
|
|
| * |
Therefore
Hey Parmenshani ! For the preservation of entire universe I closed
my eyes tightly.(6)
|
|
| * |
As
a result a few drops of water fell down from my eyelids. Trees were
born from these tears (on earth), which were named as "Rudraksha"
trees.(7) |
|
| * |
To
oblige the devotees, these Rudraksha trees became inanimate. On
account of the devotees of Vishnu and the four castes these Rudraksha
tress originated in ‘Gaurdesh’. These trees were grown forcefully
to eradicate the evil groups at Shiva’s favorite places, namely,
- Mathura, Ayodhya, Lanka, Malaya, Kashi, and ten other countries.(8
to 10) |
|
| * |
The
Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras have originated be many
orders. Rudraksha found on earth also have the above four caste.
Bhadraksha is also a species of Rudraksha.(11) |
|
| * |
Intellectuals
have differentiated Rudraksha into four groups according to their
color, namely, - White, red, yellow and black. Humans should wear
Rudraksha according to their caste.(12) |
|
| * |
Those men who desire wealth, passion and salvation (moksha) should
wear the Rudraksha in the order of their of numbers. Specially,
the devotees of Shiva should wear Rudraksha to get the blessings
of Shiva.(13) |
|
| * |
Rudraksha the size of an Ambla
is of best quality. Rudraksha the size of a fruit of jujube tree
is considered to be of moderate quality.(14) |
|
| * |
Rudraksha the size of a gram
seed is of inferior quality. Hey Parvati !, I am telling you for
the benefit of devotees with love, hear carefully the supreme knowledge
of its process which is beyond the range of perception.(15)
|
|
| * |
Hey Maheshwari ! Rudraksha
the size of a fruit of jujube tree is enough to bring about happiness
and prosperity in the world.(16)
|
|
| * |
Rudraksha the size of a fruit
of an Ambla can destroy all kinds of evil and viscous effects. Rudraksha
the size of a wheat grain is provider of all kind of success.(17)
|
|
| * |
The smaller the size of a
Rudraksha, more are its benefits, as said by the saints.(18) |
|
| * |
Rudraksha is worn for the
purpose of destroying all sins. Wearing of Rudraksha is most important
for the accomplishment and fulfillment of ones purpose.(19) |
|
| * |
Hey
Parmeshwari !, in this world the Rudraksha Rosary is incomparable.
No other Rosary is as divine and beneficial as the Rudraksha Rosary.(20) |
|
| * |
Plain, smooth, tough, big and
thorny Rudraksha are considered beneficial. Rudraksha bestowed
with the property of providing accomplishment of all desires
and moksha (salvation). (21) |
|
| * |
Rudraksha, which are bitten by
insects, without thorns, cracked and not round are not
acceptable.(22) |
|
| * |
Rudraksha with a natural hole is of best quality. Rudraksha
with a hole made by human efforts is of medium
quality.(23) |
|
| * |
Wearing of
Rudraksha destroys all sins. A person who wears 1100 Rudraksha
on his body becomes equivalent to the Lord Rudra
(Shiva).(24) |
|
| * |
The benefit
of wearing these 1100 Rudraksha cannot be described even in
hundred years.(25) |
|
| * |
Any
devotee, who wears 550 Rudraksha in a correct manner in the
form of a crown, is also benefited.(26) |
|
| * |
Making three folds of 360
Rudraksha and wearing it as a ‘Yajno Pavita’ (worn over the
left shoulder and hanging down under the right), with devotion
will also give immense results.(27) |
|
| * |
Hey Maheshwari ! Three Rudraksha
should be worn on the ‘Sikhs’ (the top knot of the Hindus).
Six Rudraksha should be worn in each ear.(28) |
|
| * |
101 Rudraksha around the neck, 11
in each arms, 11 in each wrist and Karpur Dwar should be
worn.(29) |
|
| * |
Three
Rudraksha as 'Yajno Pavita' and five around the hips should be
worn by the humans devoted towards Lord Shiva.(30) |
|
| * |
Hey Parmeshwari ! One who
wears Rudraksha according to the following numbers becomes
‘Divya’ and laudable. In this manner he gains resemblance to
Mahesh.(31) |
|
| * |
Any one
who watches a person sitting on a mat, wearing Rudraksha and
he who pronounces the name of Shiva in a monotone gets
released from all evils.(32) |
|
| * |
This is the procedure for wearing 1100 Rudraksha. In
the absence of this procedure, I will tell you some other ways
of wearing Rudraksha, which are beneficial.(33) |
|
| * |
One in Sikha, 30 on the fore
head, 50 around the throat, 16 each on both the arms is the
number of Rudraksha, which should be worn.(34) |
|
| * |
12 on each of the wrist, 5
on the shoulder and 108 in the form of 'Yajno Pavita' are the
number of Rudraksha beads to be worn.(35) |
|
| * |
One who is determined and wears 1000
Rudraksha in this way becomes equivalent to Rudra and all Gods
bow in front of him.(36) |
|
| * |
Whoever wears one in the Sikhs, 40 on the
forehead, 32 on the throat, 108 on the heart, then 6 each in
both the ears, 16 each on the arms, 12 or 24 on the hands,
Rudraksha in a holy way becomes a devotee of Shiva and is
worshipped and adored by everyone like Shiva, whenever they
are watched by others. (At that moment person wearing
Rudraksha becomes adorable). (37 - 39) |
|
| * |
The use of "Ishan Mantra" for the forehead,
"Tatpurusha Mantra" for the ears, and "Aghor Mantra" for the
throat and heart is recommended for wearing
Rudraksha.(40) |
|
| * |
Wise
man should wear Rudraksha on hands chanting Aghor & Seed
Mantra and on stomach 15 Rudraksha chanting Vaamdev
Mantra.(41) |
|
| * |
On the
other organs of the body 3, 5 or 7 rosaries can be worn
chanting "Panch Brahma Mantra" or by chanting "Seed
Mantra".(42) |
|
| * |
The use
of alcohol, non-veg, garlic, onion etc is prohibited for the
person who wears Rudraksha.(43) |
|
| * |
Hey Uma ! According to the caste Brahmins
should wear white, Kshatriya should wear red, Vaishya should
wear yellow and Shudras should wear black
Rudraksha.(44) |
|
| * |
People of all caste can wear Rudraksha. Wearing a Rudraksha
takes a person closer to God whereas relinquishing it takes a
man to hell. Rudraksha smaller than the size of an Ambla,
broken, without a hole and eaten by insects should not be worn
by people who are taking part in auspicious deed. Rudraksha
the size of gram seed is praised. Rudraksha is comparable to a
Shivling. It is both exquisite and praise worthy, as is said
by Shiva. (45- 46) |
