Vegetarian or non-vegetarion when wearing rudraksha

February 16, 2008

Namaste Bikramjit,

There are no strict restrictions to be a vegetarian when one is wearing

rudraksha. Its mainly influenced by the individual's background,

whether they were brought up to be vegetarian or non-veg. Strict

families who have been vegetarians for generations will continue this

tradtion. Smarta Hindus (Liberal Hindus), tantrikas, certain yogis,

yoginis, nathas and aghoris do not oberve the vegie rule and they

continue to consume non-veg. Swamis and superstitious people often

tell others (out of their own ignorance) that they cannot wear

rudraksha if they are eating non-veg food. In modern times, its mostly

a matter of personal choice and for health reasons whether a person

chooses to be vegetarian or not.

Om Namah Shivaya

Shiva Purana: Vidyeshwara Samhita: Chapter 25: Rudraksha Mahatmaya

According to this,

Consumption of liquor, meat, garlic, onion, horse-radish/drumstick, glue-berries (lasoodaa), pig is prohibited.

mysticalsense.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
