Rudraksha, also called \u201cTears of Shiva\u201d or <\/span>Ruthratcham<\/b>, is considered sacred and worn by many ardent devotees of Lord Shiva. Some wear it as a bracelet, while others wear it around their neck as a Rudraksha Mala.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wearing such a sacred item is important, but are there the right ways or rules to follow when you wear such an ornament? Yes, just like a key must fit any lock, a Rudraksha Mala should also be worn with care, awareness, devotion, and purity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s decode the right rules that you must follow when you wear an <\/span>original Rudraksha Mala<\/b>, in other words, the Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts to adorn it:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rudraksha Mala Do\u2019s\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Energize It Before Wearing<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Chant Mantra \u201cOm Namah Shivaya\u201d 108 times before you wear this divine Mala. Make sure it is cleansed; otherwise, wash it with clean water or milk. You can also keep the mala on your altar or offer the Mala to Lord Shiva overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Store Properly When You Don’t Wear It\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

When you are not wearing a <\/span>Rudraksha Jap Mala<\/b><\/a>, store it in the cleanest place or a sacred box; otherwise, you can also keep it at your altar space or the temple of your home where you worship daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Sync With Moon Energy\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Charge up your Rudraksha Mala, keeping it under the moonlight overnight to harness its strong natural energies. It is said that by doing so, one can uplift spiritually and attain emotional balance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen To The Rudraksha\u2019s Feel\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Every Rudraksha, such as the <\/span>7 Mukhi Rudraksha Mala<\/b>, has a vibe or energy, so feel what it says. It connects you with the highest divine energy. If the mala feels heavy and uncomfortable, then it might need cleansing or rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Sacred Oils To Keep Beads Supple\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Use sacred or Ayurvedic oils to keep your Mala fully energized, cleansed, and ready to do every day Jaap. Use the sacred oils only with the guidance of a spiritual expert such as Pt. Rahul Kaushl.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rudraksha Mala Don\u2019ts\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Don\u2019t Neglect Emotional Clean-up\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whenever you indulge in any argument or fight wearing this Mala, make sure you cleanse it to drain out the negative energies. The Mala might carry the emotional residue in it, which can need a rinse off afterwards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Consume Alcohol or Non-Vegetarian Food\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you wear a divine Mala like a <\/span>108 Rudraksha Mala<\/b>, never consume alcohol or feed on non-vegetarian products. It will ruin your ethics or devotion towards your dharma and beloved deity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintain a pure Sattvic lifestyle, or you can simply consume only vegetarian food and avoid alcohol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Wear Mala During Intimate Moments Or Menstruation\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

It\u2019s advised not to wear the Rudraksha Mala during your private moments and also during menstruation. It\u2019s because wearing it during that particular time is a disrespect to Rudraksha\u2019s sacredness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Use Rudraksha For Style Or Fashion\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Rudraksha is not a styling ornament to wear. It\u2019s important to understand the importance of Rudraksha before wearing it or adorning it on your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you become aware of Rudraksha\u2019s sacred energy and positive influence, it\u2019s only then that you can harness the life-changing benefits from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Keep Rudraksha Near Waste or Unclean Places\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n
When you have a Rudraksha bead, you have to care for it, such as not forgetting the bead at any unclean place like washrooms or near dustbins. It will be a disrespect to Rudraksha.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/pre>\n
Don\u2019t Wash It Off With Soaps Or Chemicals\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n
Don\u2019t ruin the divine energy of the Rudraksha by washing it off with soaps, detergents, or other chemicals. If you want to clean the Rudraksha bead, do it with pure water and raw milk, and wipe it off with a soft, clean cloth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Final Thoughts\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n
So, in the end, we can say that the Rudraksha Mala is not just a spiritual accessory to wear. But it comes with a lot of life-changing benefits for you, so wear it with care. Just honor the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for wearing a Rudraksha Mala.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
