Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Dear Narasimhaye, Thank you for the prompt reply and valuable advice. I will brush-clean them with lime juice drops in luke warm water as suggested. Post this i will wash them in gangajal and rosewater. I am also thinking of visiting the shiva temple to ensure the powers of rudraksha are maximum and manifold. The beads do look different than a year ago but they look fresh and nice, except some dirt/grit in between mukhi lines. The half moon 1 mukhi looks different and not fresh, thus the daily washing in water. It is hard to describe but rudraksha do have powers which cannot be explained in words but have to be experienced ( more about this some time later) Thanks to this group and you to quickly reply my queries.
