Rudraksh when taking bath (To Shivaram)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Shivaram,

 

Sri DDji, Divakar, etc have responded to you exactly what I was

gonna say. Agree with them. Although haven't come across any

Sanskrit texts that mention about taking baths with rudraksha, I

also haven't read anywhere about rudraksha bath taboos. (That is,

unless I'm missing something which I clumsily do sometimes..) Any

case, many people do it for purification and removing past karma.

 

Its true that soap & chemicals can ruin rudraksha with the passage

of time. But reetha (soapnut) which is organic/natural should be ok.

But rule of thumb is to rinse all soap traces from rudraksha and let

beads dry at room temperature.

 

If you take shower or bath with rudraksha sometimes, be sure to let

the beads dry completely, then apply oil thoroughly with

toothbrush. Better still, soak dry beads in oil overnight and wear

the next day. Pls remember that rudraksha have to be completely dry

before oiling. This is so they will keep for many generations and

not disintegrate easily.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Simone

rudrksha when he is taking bath that way water pass through

rudraksha beads on our body will remove our karmas. One of the

previous article I read one shouldn't wear rudrksha because soap

made of chemicals can do harm to rudraksha. I wear 5 mukhi and 6

mukhi mala which i purchased from www.rudraksha-ratna.com. I usually

remove these malas before I wash my body with soap. But I still wear

it other time. My worry here is do I need to dry rudrakha or is it

not necessary. I usually dry them using my bath towell after bath.

Please advice me.
