Rudrakshas
|
Someone who desires
seriously to come out of unwanted habits and live a life of purity can
wear Rudrakshas and may find themselves free soon after wearing it. This
has happened to many. It may happen to you also, if you strongly
believe.
In general the wearer and the worshipper of Rudraksha is blessed with
prosperity, peace and health. yet there are certain precautions to be
taken such as:
Mala that we wear in neck is made up of 108 beads or 54. Japa mala could
be as small as 27 beads.
Do not use neck mala as japa mala or vice versa because purpose of each
is different.
Clean your mala / beads regularly after an interval of 15 days. Dip in
Luke warm water. Add a liquid soap. Keep for about half an hour. remove
and just wipe with soft cloth. Do not rub strongly or use wire brushes.
Apply some mustard oil on the beads by using a brush.
Before wearing, take mala or bead to a Shiva temple. Offer 'Rudra
Abhishek' and then start wearing. Monday and Thursday are considered
auspicious days. If your mala is blessed prior to purchase , you can
wear it chanting Om Namah Shivya a minimum of 3 times .
Since Rudraksha is very divine and pure in its nature, It should be held
in gold. Exceptions are permitted. Silver or strong RED / BLACK thread
is fine.
According to our holy books Rudraksha can be worn at all times . Some
books say that Rudraksha could be taken off during sex , menstrual
cycles , during visit to funeral grounds and during Bowel movements .
Also it is advisable to take off beads while taking bath as excess soap
dehydrates the beads of the natural Oil . They need to be worn with
faith , respect and love . Is it that only Hindus can wear No, All can
wear. Sun, Moon, Stars, Rivers and Plants have No Religion. |
