This is precious little bead of 108 Tantrik Samskara, which is why this bead is so small, because it is so purified from base material, that it has reduced in volume but increased in density. Here the volatile mercury is fixed, like the etymology of the word ‘guru’ is heavy, this is a dense, heavy metal, capable of holding intention and energy, especially in its most purified and alchemical philosophical state. We get this from the Matsyendranatha lineage, empowered with pooja and rites, we are careful not to overstate these to lure the credulous. This is a technology, these items are not for miracles, but for creating resonances that aid in manifestation of intent and meditation. These are for accessing spiritual realms and are for practitioners who have prepared themselves for these subtle energies, if you are aspiring down this alchemical path, then save your funds and buy some less expensive and less purified beads like our standard parad gutika and assimilate to that energy while become more subtle and light in your practice, diet, and minimizing the various interferences that saturates the modern world. As we say if you have doubts of this product do not purchase, seeds of doubt can be amplified as well as negative qualities, so one must use these wisely. We show the lighter for scale.
