wearing rudraksh mala while going thru security checks at airport

[Guest guest]

Namaskar Jatin,

 

Mostly going out of India when wearing rudraksha malas is no problem.

But coming back sometimes, it depends on the customs officers. There

should be no sound from security scanners as rudrakshas and their

cappings are not sharp objects. It should be fine in most of Europe

except Germany where sometimes the checks also depends on customs.

The other 2 countries where it depends on customs are USA and

Australia. I heard that its best to declare malas before going out

of Australia so when the person returns, there is no trouble claiming

its belongs to the person. I've also heard from a swami friend who

lives there that when he got back to Australia from India, his Kantha

Mala was packed in the luggage but customs scan show round beads

like " chocalate balls " and he was asked to open his bags to show them.
