A jewel with healing powers

An exhibition of rudrakshas going on in the City, aims to
focus as much on clearing myths about them as on
promoting their healing benefits. Rudraksh, meaning Lord
Shiv's eye, is the seed of a non-edible fruit. Rudraksh
has been highly valued in Hinduism for its medicinal,
religious and spiritual values.

Owing to these benefits, rudrakshas have been worn by
people since ages; but over the years, with
commercialization of religion, a number of myths have
been attached to their usage.

"Shiv Puran and Padma Puran say anyone irrespective of
age and gender, can wear a rudraksha. Infact, these
scriptures mention that if animals wear it, even they
remain untouched from problems" claims Tanay Seetha,
founder of Mumbai-based Rudralife which has five patents
on medicinal usage of rudrakshas.

Rudraksh is believed to have electro-magnetic, para-
magnetic, inductive dia-magnetic and dynamic polarity
effects that help in healing various diseases like
insomnia, blood pressure, body ache, head ache,
depression, maladjustments, heart diseases, skin diseases
etc.

The exhibition has brought rudrakshas of all 21 faces
from Nepal where its best quality is found.

"According to our scriptures, rudrakshas have a natural
hole in the center. They are of the best quality and
found largely in Arun Valley in Bhojpur village of Nepal.
In India, we have rudraksha trees but they mostly bear
fruits which don't have holes in their seeds. But they
are also being sold by making holes in them. Vedic texts
also mention about the superior quality of Nepal's
rudrakshas," explains Tanay.

Rudrakshas of all 21 faces, meaning carved lines, are
found inside a blue coloured fruit on trees with the same
name that grows in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Different qualities are attributed to the rudraksha based
on the number of grooves, or 素aces' that it has.

Of all, five faced or paanch mukhi rudraksha,
representing Lord Shiv in the Kalagni Rudra (anger) form
is worn the most. This form of Shiv symbolises
auspiciousness. Recommended to gain health and success,
it is said to have the power to curb rising blood
pressure and cardiac ailments.

"Various scientific studies and researches have proved
that rudrakshas have electrical and magnetic properties
that alliance and enhance one's own aura. A research done
by the Mumbai University has also brought out similar
findings. Rudraksh finds mention in around 17 Vedic
scriptures," says Seetha whohas organised over 500
exhibitions on rudrakshas in India and abroad including
in US, Mauritius, Britain, Singapore and Malaysia.

Various wearable forms of rudraksha beads designed into
malas and bracelets are also available at the exhibition.
Two naturally joined rudrakshas are called Gauri Shankar.
Three naturally joined beads which is a rare phenomenon
are termed Trijuti. Rudraksh that has a natural trunk-
like elevation is called Ganesh. Rudrakshas available at
the exhibition cost between Rs 50 to Rs 2.4 crore.

The exhibition at National Cottage Emporium in Connaught
Place will remain on till June 24.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years. -Updated on February 2, 2012-
