Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Dear Narasimhaye, In one of your previous mails u said " I think the Puranas and Srimad Devi Bhagavatam mention that cracked rudraksha should not be worn. " Kindly clarify whether the same rule will apply where one or two thorns of the rudraksha might have brocken off but the bead per se is unharmed. Can I still wear this bead ?
