I have observed that especially 4, 5 and 6 mukhi beads though initially are without any fractures, develop fine fractures after 7 to 8 months. Such minor fractures can be ignored as they do not do any harm to the bead. I have also observed that rudraksha develop major cracks mainly due to absorbtion of water or moisture regularly. Rudraksha cracks more than 1 mm. wide may spoil rudraksha.Please seek advice from Sri Arjunji and Sri chandrashekhar phadke ji could help in this regard.Thanking you and with best wishesPrasanna Kumar Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks Arjun Ji and Prasana Ji, I had written to Supplier in Nepal..as per him..some of the beads when get ripened on the tree itself develop minor cracks..so no need to worry and i should continue to wear them.. when i tried to probe the cracks with the sewing pin..i could not really be sure if there are cracks or minor grooves..in 4 and 6 mukhi ..only 8 mukhi seems to have cracks in 3-4 grooves ..may be it is over ripened.. may be either they were there before i starting wearing the mala or got developed after i oiled them with mustrd oil.. here i would listen to my antaratman and would continue to wear them.. the cracks are very minor and are not widening.. also i had written to Sh. Dharam Dev Arya Ji of Rudraksha Ratna ( US ) and he wrote that he also wears cracked beads out of respect.. i also donot feel like discarding rudraksha just bcose of cracks..let Lord Shiva HIMSELF discard them in case they fall on the ground.. when i sense that they will fall down then i will replace them.. My mala was energized in Pashupati Nath Temple.. i feel if the cracks appear in the beads while wearing, then it is only an adjustment to ones trinity..as when the knowledge is revealed by Sad Shiva..Body is very weak to bear it.. Once again i bow to Shiva in all of us.. Om Namah Shivaya Namah Om. anil , arjun pandit <panditarjun2004> wrote: > > dear friend anilji > > botanically speaking, rudraksha beads are within a fruit and they are maintained by the wearers by soaking them in gentle olive oil for few hours and then clean with a toothbrush gently. some rudraksh are prone to get insects which eat the inner portin and also create holes in the rudraksh but such rudraksh float in the water. since rudraksh have these botanical properties, they have thier own wear and tear. but well maintained rudraksh are worn for 100 years and even afterwards passed on to the next generation. > > as regards cracks in rudraksh, it is not advisable to wear a rudraksh with cracks. since you found cracks in the smaller face rudraksh, you can easily replace them so as to avoid the cracks widening further and then falling on the ground suddenly. as you may be aware two, three, four, five, six and seven mukh rudraksh are available at prices less than rs.100 and you can easily go for replacement. > > with best wishes > arjun > > prasanna kumar <prasannakumar21@g...> wrote: > Dear Anilji, > Thank you very much for your mail,Even i notice small crack in 4,6,8,9 > mukhi.I think they were before you started wearing.As per my personal > experience, few rudraksha after drying may develop minor fractures in > its mouth region.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Dear Anil ji, I bow to shiva in you, Well said your words will help our members in educating the confusion about crack in beads.I wish to add more to what you said.Many people are of the opinion that any rudraksha showing some fractures does not give desirable results. These people cosider such rudraksha as 'Khandit (cracked) rudraksha'. However, I am of the opinion that one should not give much stress on this opinion. Rudraksha extracted from plant may have only one natural hole in the head region. This natural hole is of a peduncle(stalk of Rudraksha) attachment. To make rudraksha mala one has to drill a hole in its tail or botton region. Can we describe such rudraksha as Khandit ? If we call such rudraksha as Khandit then it will be difficult for every body to use rudraksha mala.You're blessed to get Rudraksha as a Pra Shiva Bhakta,why worry leave it lord shiva. with best wishes Prasanna kumar owner & Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
