Rudraksha Care & Precautions

Clean your mala / beads when you feel they require cleaning after

regular usage . Dip in Luke warm water. Add some liquid soap . Keep for

minimum 24 hours and then brush with a plastic brush to clean the dirt

and grime that fixes in the pores of the beads . Then wash with running

water and leave the beads to dry for several hours , and then apply some

oil on the beads by using a brush. Sandal wood oil is best mixed with

light Olive oil . Oiling may be repeated every few weeks or whenever the

beads seem dry as oiling makes the beads strong.

 

If rudraksha are worn during bath , then it is recommended to keep them

away from Soap , as it penetrates the bead pores and makes them

dehydrated . Regular washing with water is good for the beads . If not

worn during bath , the beads may be washed in normal clean water ,

during prayers .

 

Rudraksha beads may be worn all the time . According to our authentic

texts there are no do's and don'ts on wearing these beads. The beads are

holy and one needs to maintain their purity and energy by treating them

with respect and care. Regularly wash them , oil them and chant mantras

with them . Wear the mala inside dress and do not touch with hands and

fingers . When you take the mala off please keep in a pouch or a plate

in your altar . You may take mala off at night and keep in a plate in

your altar and wear again in the morning after bath and prayers . Rest

of the day there is no need to take off mala .

Noteworthy Precautions at the time of purchasing Rudraksha:

 

Rudraksha is recognized only by looking at the linings or mukhis on it .

Some people's criteria is that it should sink and not float in the water

or should rotate between two copper coins are wrong. These criteria

cheat people. Therefore it is advised that the people should purchase

Rudraksha only after observing the linings or mukhis. Experience and

awareness in differentiating a Rudraksha bead from that of another berry

or nut with carved lines would help .Remember that lower mukhi Rudraksha

(from 2 till 7 mukhi) are available abundantly and faking does not take

place in these . It is only in the case of rare ones like 1 mukhi round

, or Gauri Shankar , or higher mukhis that unscrupulous people

artificially carve out lines on a lower mukhi beads pr even a betel nut

or berry to get the effect . Still an experienced eye can detect it. The

number of mukhis in a rudraksha is same as the number of seeds inside it

So a 6 mukhi will have 6 seeds , 11 mukhi will have 11 seeds etc .

 

Therefore whenever any person goes to buy a gem or a Rudraksha, he

should buy from a trustworthy and well established source so that the

purchaser may get guarantee of the item purchased. Hawkers, sadhus,

astrologists who are hypocrites, can give false beads on account of

their hidden greed and at last the genuine suppliers have to bear much

loss. Therefore gems & Rudrakshas should be bought from genuine and true

suppliers. When there is faith in the Rudraksha purchased, the effect of

the Rudraksha is magnified and cherished results are obtained.
