Rudraksha care and worship

 

Now that you have found rudraksha, you can begin the next step of also taking

measures to protect yourself. It is said in holy texts that a person can only

find rudraksha if he/she has been blessed by Lord Shiva in previous lives. The

saints also say that every problem contains the seeds of its own solution.

Encouraging you to also sit quietly and reflect also on the good things that

happened in your life. There are always good things and bad things so we must

always count the blessings too.

 

The protection from rudraksha are not time bound but would highly recommend that

you recite the mantra Aum Namah Shivaya 9 times before you wear the beads after

bath. Once a month or a fortnight, put the beads on the altar and offer fruit,

unsalted nuts, flowers, ghee lamp, jaggery and incense. Do not allow others to

touch your beads and don't lend them to anyone to wear.

 

Its also essential to practice maintaining the beads by washing, drying

thoroughly and oiling then perform Re-energization process every 3 to 6 months

or when you feel the beads are becoming dry. Rudraksha are holy beads. Not

maintaining them is like not maintaining or cleaning the altar/puja room to

remove negative energies.

 

Keep at least one rudraksha mala on you in the evenings. Place the rest on the

altar or in a drawer near you. Parad can be worn while sleeping but must be

taken off if 'spousal relations' are engaged in.

 

Meanwhile, obtain 9 beads of 5 mukhi rudraksha and put in steel vessel overnight

with spring water and some drops of rose water. In the morning, take a shower or

bath, take out the beads and pour all the water from the steel vessel over

yourself from head to foot. Do this for 3 months and see.

 

All the above suggestions are like sadhana, you need to dedicate a bit of time

each day to perform them with bhakti. They don't take very long to do. If you

focus on them with discipline, you will see positive results one way or another.
