Rules to Wear:
Wearers and devotees of Rudraksha enjoy peace, good health, and prosperity. But one must take some precautions:
- The Rudraksha must be worn only after Siddhi (purification rites and chanting of Mantras).
- Rudraksha mantra is to be chanted 9 times daily, after removing at night and wearing in the morning.
- It must be kept in the Puja room at night and worn after the bath in the morning.
- The wearer should not consume alcohol or non-vegetarian food.
- He must speak only truth and visit Shiva temple.
- Rudraksha must not be taken while visiting a baby or to the cremation ground.
- Women must remove it during menstruation.
- Keep Rudraksha clean and tidy. Pores of the beads can attract dirt and dust. Clean this with any soft material with fine bristles. Change the thread if it becomes dirty. After it has been cleaned, wash Rudraksha with holy water. This is to maintain its sanctity.
- Keep Rudraksha constantly oiled. After the beads and chord have been cleaned, periodically apply oil and treat with incense. This is crucial when you have kept the Rudraksha in storage for a long time and want to use it again.
These are some safeguards for wearing and maintaining Rudraksh chains and bracelets. Since it is a sacred ornament, most Hindus are not affected by 3 Mukhi Rudraksha price. Don’t be confused by the shape and size of the beads. One has to buy the beads according to one’s gut instinct.
