Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Namaste Taj, Nice to know you are enjoying all the messages here. The answer to your questions are: Before engaging in 'spousal relations', its adviced to remove rudrakshas and place them on the altar in the puja room. After that, have a bath or shower before wearing them again. In the mornings after waking up, its also advised to wash the person, then recite Om Namah Shivaya 3 or 9 times before putting on rudrakshas. Very strict Hindus and certain Brahmins will always remove their rudrakshas before going to the toilet if they can help it. In case of emergency and they can't remove in time, they place the beads outside the toilet before entering. After the toilet, they wash their hands thoroughly. Others from certain traditions such as Tantrika, Natha, Aghora and Smarta Hindus (Liberal Hindus) do not observe the rule of taking rudrakshas off before toilet but they do cleanse their hands properly afterwards. Om Namah Shivaya , tajinder sian <tajindersinghsian wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am enjoying reading all the messages on this forum. I would like to ask what do the holy texts say about wearing rudraksha and having sex? Should one remove before getting involved in such activity? and then put back on? And what about bathing and going to toilet? > > Regards, > > Taj > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
