Someone desire seriously to come out of unwanted habits and live of purity can wear Rudraksha’s and may find themselves free soon after wearing it. This has happened to many. It may happen to you also, if you will strongly.

Rudraksha power is more than any gems, yantra, tantra, mantra and jantra.

In general the wearer and the worshipper of Rudraksha is blessed with prosperity, peace and health.

Yet there are certain precautions to be taken to avoid the gain of sins. These precautions are such as: -

(1) Rudraksha must be worn after Sidhhi (Method of purification & charging with mantra), performing the prayers and ritual rites for its sanctification and hawanet etc. it should be worn on auspicious day, Monday or Thursday.

(2) Rudraksha mantra and Rudraksha origin mantra is to be chated daily 9 times while wearing in the morning and after removing before going to bed. (Rudraksha must be removed before going to sleep and must be kept at the puja place.)

(3) Rudraksha can be worn in the morning after having bath. It can be worn after reciting the mantra as above and inscence/ ghee lamp etc must be used. It must not be touched before bathing. One should clean his hands properly after using toilet.

(4) The wearer of the Rudraksha should not eat non vegetarian food and should not take alcohol. He should speak truth always and must go to lord Shiva temple for his blessings.

(5) Rudraksha must not be taken to the cremation grounds and funerals. Also it must not be taken to the place while visiting a new born baby.

(6) NEVER wear Rudraksha while having sex.

(7) WOMEN must not wear the Rudraksha during their menstrual cycle.

(8) ALWAYS keep your Rudraksha clean. Dust and dirt can settle in the pores of the bead. Clean these as frequently as possible with something with soft, fine bristles. If the thread becomes dirty or worn out, change it. After cleaning, wash your Rudraksha with some blessed holy water. This helps maintain its sanctity.

(9) ALWAYS keep the Rudraksha oiled…. After regular cleaning oil the bead and treat it with incense. This is of utmost importance. Especially when not using the bead for something, or storing it for A While

(10) Many get confused with the shape and size. One should not seriously worry about it. Just see that the mukhi is well defined, corn and contours are natural, and there are no cracks near the central hole. Normally the buyer gets a feel when Rudraksha is kept in the pain. He/she feels that this is the one which was wanted.

(11) Rudraksha is hot in nature. Some people just can’t wear it. Their skin shows signs of allergy. They can never wear any gold, silver or thread chain. So better not to use. Keeps the beads in puja room and offer daily Namaskars. ……..

As per the modern Astrologers; Rudraksha is used for removing malefic planetary effect. There are twenty seven Constellations. Each has control of one of the Nine Planets. Each constellation is controlled by some related Rudraksha. Therefore according to these constellations, various multifaceted Rudraksha are worn (Control planets) and is found useful in multidiscipline. The Multifaceted or Mukhi Rudraksha which has various planets residing on it, always receive energy from related planet. Its power of receiving energy is tremendous and it works like a reservoir.

Q:Do the Rudraksha Really work ?
Rudraksha definitely works unless it is Genuine, Not broken from its head and tail. It must be purified, sanctified and energised with the help of its Mantra. Otherwise it is as good as any other fancy Jewelry Pendant. Rudraksha becomes even more powerful and effective if more power is inserted through regular Japa and Hawan and through the ongoing process of retaining its power and sanctity.

Q: Are there any definitive tests ?
Unfortunately, no. There are no definitive tests to test the authenticity of a Rudraksha except the discerning eye of an expert. When looking at the bead carefully, you'll find various deep dug lines separating the various faces of the Rudraksha bead. Ironically, humans have known to use their 'extreme skill' and try to 'carve' lines into the Rudraksha or 'wipe' them off, in order to change the faces or 'Mukhis' of the bead... i.e. 'alter' it according to their demands. It is extremely difficult to tell a genuine and a spurious Rudraksha apart, but the discerning eye of an expert can spot these 'manual interventions' and declare whether or not the Rudraksha has been tampered with.

Q: Do all the Rudraksha have the same power ?
Every Rudraksha has unique properties and different power from other beads. Each has different deities residing in it depending upon the faces of the Bead. If the Rudraksha acquired is a Genuine Bead of good quality and it is properly sanctifies and energised with ancient technique of rigorous Mantra recitation and Hawan. It must be than safely reach to the person who intends to wear himself. The power is to be than maintained by the person himself following regular chanting of Rudraksha Mantra and practicing regular Hawan.

Q:How to get the maximum from my Rudraksha ?
Now that you have got a Rudraksha that is empowered, you must try and maintain its power and get the maximum benefit from it. To get the maximum benefit from Rudraksha, you must have total belief and faith in them, and treat them as holy and sacred objects of worship and not as mere beads and understand their sanctity.

One should follow certain rules for maintaining its power and sanctity. The Rudraksha is a spiritual Gift from Lord Shiva; one should recite the Rudraksha Mantra daily after taking Bath in the morning and before going to bed in the night. One should not take the Rudraksha to inauspicious place e.g. Funeral place, cremation ground, where new born baby get birth.
