Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Dear Praveen, You are blessed to have received a gift of a 5 mukhi mala. After you remove the mala from oil, wipe off the oil. Recite Om Namah Shivaya 3 or 9 times before wearing it. Precautions are mentioned below. Om Namah Shivaya ................. From Praveen: RAM RAM JI one of my uncle gift me a patheria 5 mukhi rudraksha bead mala.pls tell me wat are its precautions n how n when to wear.He told me that dip it in mustard oil for 15 days n i m doing that pls suggest me wat to do thnx ................... Care & Precautions for Rudraksha Clean your mala when you feel they require cleaning after regular usage. Dip in Luke warm water. Add some liquid soap. Keep for a few 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 properly in warm shade. 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 . /articledt.php?art_id=44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
