Life of Rudraksha

[Guest guest]

Namaskar Sundeep, pls see answers below:

 

a) Rudraksha beads remain with the same energies even if not soaked

in oil or treated properly. But its best to maintain them regularly

with oil so they don't dry out or lack lustre. Its fine that you

left them in soapy water for a few hours as this would have helped to

remove grit and dirt. Indeed some rudraksha will change color and

become darker but this is fine. It was also a good idea to let the

water from Rudra Abhishek fall down to your mala as this holy water

sanctifies the mala further. When the mala is fully dry, apply some

oil. When rudraksha beads and malas are maintained this way, they

will be effective always.

 

b) Its preferable not to wear someone else's rudraksha mala even

after Rudra Abhishek has been done. A mala, once worn by another

person, would have aligned or assimilated with the other person's

energies. As each one is an individual, its best to get our own

personal malas for wearing, worshipping or reciting mantra.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

regular basis or not treated properly? Few months back I by mistake

left my mala in soap water for few hours, which made them change

their colour. Immediately realizing my mistake thereafter, I soaked

them in oil to bring back their colour, as well as recently worshiped

them during Rudra Abhishek by keeping them below Shivling, so that

what ever wash with panchamrit was provided to Shivling, also falls

on my mala. Is their a way to know, if my rudraksha mala is still

effective?

 

> Is it OK to wear mala originally worn by someone else after

providing a proper Rudra Abhishek, as I read somewhere that once the

mala is worn by someone, it always belongs to the same person even if

not being worn?
