Rudraksha beads can have profound impacts on people’s lives. To unlock its full potential and enjoy all the benefits they bring, it is essential that the beads be cleansed and maintained accordingly.
Here are a few steps for cleaning your rudraksha: first, soak it in ghee for 24 hours; rinse in milk afterward; activate and activate again to make your rudraksha work faster and better!
Soak it in ghee
Rudrakshas are small seed beads believed to have powerful spiritual healing and emotional balancing properties. Additionally, rudraksha benefits can help address mental and physical ailments like bronchitis or asthma; however, its full effects only become evident with proper use; therefore it is crucial that before wearing one it should be carefully cleaned so as to maximize effectiveness and extend longevity of use.
First, soak the rudraksha in purified and clarified ghee for 24 hours to cleanse it of harmful electromagnetic radiations and prepare it for wearing. Next, rinse in clean water before applying vibhuti (holy ash) with fingers in areas where excess ghee has accumulated and then wipe dry and store away in a safe location.
Rudraksha beads are created from the dried seeds of Elaeocarpus Ganitrus trees that grow throughout India and Southeast Asia, as well as being considered sacred by Hindu culture. Wearers may include men, women, children of any age or cultural background – whether religious or otherwise. Their purpose includes prayer, meditation, mantra chanting or even exposure to sunlight – all things associated with Rudraksha are considered holy in Hinduism.
As part of your morning ritual, it is recommended to wear a Rudraksha after taking a bath, prior to meditation or prayer, avoiding wearing it in impure places and taking it off before sleeping or engaging in activities that could damage it. A Rudraksha should be stored safely away from perfumes, soaps and chemicals as well as regularly replaced string.
As it is a sacred object, rudraksha should never be shared with anyone; its vibration absorbs energy from its owner and sharing will lessen its effects and longevity. Furthermore, wearing one with either a gold chain or silk string to prevent its fall.
Rinse it in milk
Rudraksha is an ancient seed, widely believed to bring prosperity, health, and success. Additionally, it can prevent diseases while increasing concentration, focus, and clarity within both body and mind. Although used for various purposes, proper handling is vital in order to harness its full potential; be sure to clean, condition, and activate them prior to wearing them.
Step one for cleaning a rudraksha involves submerging it in milk for 24 hours to soften its shell and make removal easier. Next, gently rub with fingers any leftover residue. Submerge again in warm water for several minutes, before rinsing well afterwards.
Once the rudraksha is clean and in excellent condition, it’s ready for use. Reconditioning every six months to prolong its longevity and reap all its benefits is recommended to maximize its potential. Because rudrakshas are delicate seeds that require special care when handling them; for this reason it should never come into contact with boiling water, harsh soaps, or chemical detergents; nor should it be placed directly under direct sunlight or near heaters.
Rudrakshas can be stored in various bowls such as glass, wooden or metal containers – copper isn’t recommended as it may react with the ghee or milk used to condition it and leak chemicals into it. Plastic containers must also be avoided since these containments may leech chemicals into it over time.
Once conditioned, rudrakshas should be covered in vibhuti to maintain its vibrancy. After this step has been taken, it can then be worn or used for meditation; when holding it between your thumb and ring finger during meditation will allow it to come closer to your heart. Men should use their right hand while women use their left.
A rudraksha can be cleaned with a toothbrush, though care should be taken not to damage its carvings. Light detergent water may also help preserve its energy.
Clean it with a toothbrush
Rudraksha beads are powerful spiritual tools that work on the mind to provide immense benefits for those who wear them. Since these divine beads possess so much power, proper maintenance must be undertaken. Failure to do this could result in cracks forming which reduce their energy. For best results, washing and drying regularly are the keys to keeping rudraksha beads looking their best and new-looking; use any vegetable oil you have handy as this will maintain their shape while giving an air of newness!
At the start of cleaning a rudraksha, the first step should be identifying and extracting its fruit. Select one with a pinkish-blue hue as this indicates maturity; also check pulpiness of fruit to evaluate quality. When finished rubbing with toothbrush, gently rub into water mixed with detergent (100ml + 6gm of detergent). Afterward, leave to soak for four hours in water mixture (100 ml water + 6 gm detergent), after which sandpapering it may help ensure complete cleanliness.
Once you have completed this step, it is crucial that the rudraksha be dried thoroughly to avoid fungus growth. Once it is completely dry, conditioning it with milk is the next step and should be repeated at least every month in order to maximize performance of your beads and keep their energy at peak performance.
Maintaining a Rudraksha’s proper functioning requires regular care and maintenance. We advise washing it once weekly with warm soapy water and drying it thoroughly to avoid fungi growth on its beads. Furthermore, keeping them in a dark and cool area will help preserve its energy for maximum effect.
Rudraksha beads, blessed by Lord Shiva, offer immense spiritual and material benefits for their wearers. If properly cared for, these sacred amulets could even last generations and offer excellent results.
Activate it
Energising Rudraksha is a simple yet powerful process that unlocks its inherent spiritual frequencies, making them more effective at meeting specific goals or intentions by strengthening connections to higher energies. Furthermore, this procedure lengthens its lifespan so it continues to serve you for longer – as well as making the rudraksha more capable of protecting its wearer against negative energies and lower frequency vibrations.
First step of energization process involves purifying beads with milk and then washing with pure water to rid any negative energy and get ready for ritual energization process. Recite each mukhi’s mantra at least nine times (list is available online), or as many times as desired until beads feel charged up with energy.
Once the chanting is over, set an intention for your beads and envision them filled with positive energy. Touching sacred sites such as temples or holy rivers further imbues them with sacred energies while helping cultivate their spiritual qualities.
Once the beads are charged with energy, place them on an altar or clean space and allow them to rest for several hours or overnight. While meditating, ask that they become charged with an energy that will assist you in reaching your objectives.
One way of energising Rudraksha beads is to place them in a cup or bowl containing Punchgavya (a mixture of cow’s urine, milk, ghee, and curd) or Ganges water. You could also pray to God or use your Guru’s energy for peace and prosperity; or simply touch them once every six months by keeping the mala together – keeping beads apart can cause them to dry out and crack over time.
