Basic Energizing Method
Rudraksha can be worn by anybody irrespective of age, sex, caste and culture. According to scriptures like Shrimad Devabhagawaam, Shiva Purana, Padma Puran and many more scriptures, there are no strict rules and restrictions on wearing rudrakshas. Based on the extract of the scripture and our experiences with rudrakshas, the following tips will help to maintain the sanctity and longevity of the rudrakshas beads.
1. Rudraksha should be worn after energizing. First, wash the rudraksha thoroughly with plain water and then wash the rudrakshas with turmeric water, then wash the rudrakshas with plain water. Then soak the rudrakshas in pure cow ghee for 24 hours, then soak the rudrakshas in full-fat cow milk for 24 hours. After that one should clean the Rudraksha with normal water and perform normal pooja if there is a Linga, touch the Rudraksha to the feet of the Linga, tie it with red thread and chant the bead-specific mantra or chant
“Om Namah Shivaya ” at least 9 times or 108 times and wear it on Monday
Do’s And Dont’s
1. Do not wear Rudraksha while going to funerals. This is the most important task to remember.
2. There is a false belief that women should not wear Rudraksha during menstruation, in fact, there are no restrictions. Rudrakshas are natural seeds that have immense potential. These rudraksha beads are capable of healing, rejuvenating, uplifting and changing our lives for the better. Rudrakshas are the gift of Lord Shiva, if we look back in history, none of the Vedic scriptures mention that ‘Rudrakshas should not be worn during menstruation. Our scriptures say that everyone (both men and women) can wear Rudrakshas at the same time.
3. Rudrakshas should not be shared/exchanged/transferred/from one person to another person after it has been worn.
4. Always wear Rudraksha around the neck so that the beads touch the Heart area. This is most important because it will help to pass the energy of rudrakshas via the soul to the entire human body.
5. Rudraksha is best if worn in black, yellow or white coloured thread or it can be worn in silver, gold, copper and mixed metal. Wearing rudrakshas in metal wire or thread the effects are the same.
6. Never show your Rudrakshas once you have started wearing them. Exposing or showing rudrakshas gives benefits to others as well who touch or view them. Since you are wearing rudrakshas for yourself it’s best to keep it hidden.
7. Once you start wearing rudrakshas, wear them continuously throughout your life. Those who wear rudrakshas for a few days remove them for a few days and wear them again. This method of wearing will not give maximum benefit.
8. Make Rudraksha a part of your body. Wear it daily like a cloth and don’t think and give too much attention to it, you will find more effects.
9. Any type of dietary habits like non-veg, Veg, alcohol and smoking don’t decrease or harm while wearing rudrakshas. But after wearing rudrakshas if a person has an excessive habit, due to an increment of intuitive power and willpower, rudrakshas help to maintain the habit to a normal level so that the health of the wearer remains perfect all the time.
10. Keep the beads as close to your skin as possible and do not let others touch them. Rudraksha can also be kept in a Puja room and prayed for the benefit of the whole family.
11. If the thread is broken while wearing, you can change the new thread and wear rudrakshas, there is no harm if the thread is broken while wearing rudrakshas.
