Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Dear Chandrashekharji, Thanks for the detailed mail. Its very informative and helpful for me to take a good care of rudrakshas.Well i dont clean every month but approximately once in around 2-3 months. I have noticed if i use soap water, the soap particles get stuck to rudrakshas and i found it difficult to remove the soapy thing completely couple of times. After that i am using only plain water for soaking. Than clean it with soft brush and than keep it in running water. Than dry the beads with towel and if possible dry it in sun. Is this okay or suggestion would be to use soap water?? . Since i also read soap is not good for rudraksha, so while cleaning rudraksha is it okay to avoid soap. Also is sandal wood oil used to apply for rudraksha beads. I keep olive oil specifically for rudraksha. I am also having sandal wood oil but not sure whether it can be applied to rudraksha. I had 2 extra rudraksha beads and i have cleaned them by soaking the 2 beads in water over night and in the morning after drying i applied oil and then kept in a cover and kept them in a suitcase. After 2 weeks when i opened the cover i found quite some powder over both the rudrakshas. I felt it could be action of some fungus.Lines were distinct. I again cleaned them and oiled.They dont look defective. Can they be used. Actually they were 2mukhi and 9 mukhi. And i have given 9 Mukhi to my wife. She is using for 6 months or so. Do you think its ok or do i need to get it checked by rudraksha expert whether it could be used. Also for rudrakshas which i dont use regularly is it better to keep in air as in keeping in a plate or do i need to keep in cloth pouch. This is because i also have a meditation adjustable head mala which i use once in a week or some times more than that depending upon my time and some japa malas. I will be thankful for your feed back for my detailed mail.

Atmospheric humidity is not much harmful to rudraksha. If you are not wearing your mala regularly then you have to take care to clean it with dry cloth every day to avoid fungus growth. If you handle your mala regularly then it will keep away insects due to vibrations. Always keep your rudraksha in a airy place. Do not keep your rudraksha in a closed container for a longer time, especially in polythene bags. This invites insects and fungi. Fungal spores is also a feed for various types of small insects. Fungal growth produces harmful metabolites spoiling beads. The most important care we have to take is: not to take bath wearing Rudraksha mala. I do understand that there is a belief that one should take bath wearing rudraksha mala. However, for such purpose one should use a nonexpensive mala of 5 mukhi Nepal or Indonesian beads.

It is better to wipe beads with a wet cloth and dry it thoroughly. Do not apply sandlewood paste, synthetic perfumes, haladi (turmeric) and kumkum. Use natural perfumed oil like sandlewood oil. Offer Doop. It keeps insects away. If you are from a humid place then do not offer flowers on your precious rudraksha. Pollen grains and nector particles may slowly get in bead crevices. Pollen grains and nector attract insects and micro- organisms since it is a good food for them. Pollens have 'Pollen Surface Proteins' and flower stigmas have a sticky substance. It is always better to apply 'Vibhuti' or 'Bhasma' to rudraksha while performing puja. Visbhuti protects beads from insects.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 atmosphere is without much humidity and dust. Stron soaps (with ample of 'Soda') or soap which is used for washing clothes, strong detergents are not recommended for rudraksha. It is always necessary to apply oil thoroughly by dipping rudraksha in oil fo some time (preferably overnight). Remove extra oil with tissue paper and dry your beads in strong Sun light. Sandle wood oil in natural form is highly expensive. One can afford to use it externally. In market most of the times we get synthetic perfumes and such synthetics are not recommended for rudraksha. If you are using sandlewood oil, it is fine. However, make sure that it is completely natural. You can use olive oil if you are settled abroad. In India, Til oil (sesame oil) is recommended. One can use any other available oil. You can use your 2 mukhi and 9 mukhi rudraksha if it does not have any major cracks. As mentioned in one my earlier posting, it is better not to keep rudraksha for a longer time in a tightly closed container especially in polybags. It promotes fungus growth and invites tiny grain beetles. In such case remove fungus growh and keep it in oil for sometime. You can store your rudraksha in a plate or keep hanging at safe airy place in your wardrobe (air available inside wardrobe is sufficient). You can keep your rudraksha in a cloth bag or pouch since it is porous. You can keep small camphor cakes or pieces in your rudraksha cloth pouch. However, it is advisable to wrap camphor in a thin layer of absorbent cotton. The commercial camphor which we use for Puja purpose also contains some hazardous chemicals as impurities and may harm your rudraksha. If available, you can use high quality edible camphor used in ayurvedic medicine. Camphor is also one of the auspiceous item in Shiva Pooja.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dear Chandrashekharji, Thanks a lot for your detailed mail. Regards, Kishore. sacred-objects, chandrashekhar phadke <chphadke> wrote: > > Dear Kishore ji, > > To clean rudraksha or any other object soap solution is more useful than plain water. Soap has a 'surfectant' property which pulls out dust particles adhered to the object under cleaning. It is better to use soft bathing soap of high quality. To avoid the problem of soap particles, the best way is to make froth on your palms and then apply it to rudraksha. You can also make a solution from grated soft soap. You can also use high quality liquid soap. Make a week solution with few drops of liquid soap and keep your beads completely submerged for one hour. Wash off the soap with ample of water applying brushig with soft tooth brush. You can also use luke warm water (not very hot or boiling water) for making soap soution. Rest of the procedure you are applying is fine. You can clean your beads once in 2-3 months if you do not have sweating problem or if your city atmosphere is without much humidity and dust. > > Stron soaps (with ample of 'Soda') or soap which is used for washing clothes, strong detergents are not recommended for rudraksha.
