Care & Precautions for Rudraksha

 

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 .
