Before wearing a Rudraksha, it is essential to energize it.

Yes, absolutely. You should strictly abstain from non-vegetarian food and alcohol, as well as sexual activity and any other such transgressions when you wear Rudraksha in the neck. This is because the Rudraksha is considered extremely sacred and is regarded as a direct blessing from Lord Shiva. For instance, during periods of “Sutak” (ritual impurity following a birth or death) within the household, one should remove and set aside the Rudraksha. Once the period of “Sutak” has passed, it must be re-energized before being worn again.

You should refrain from wearing a Rudraksha when a death occurs within your home or family, when the household is under a state of “Sutak”, or when you are visiting places where it is inappropriate to wear a Rudraksha such as a cremation ground (Samshan Ghat). During such times, you should remove and set aside the Rudraksha; you may wear it again after re-energizing it.

To consecrate (energize) a Rudraksha, first bathe it in holy Ganges water (Ganga Jal), and then bathe it in “Panchamrit” (a sacred mixture of five ingredients such as milk, curd, jaggery, ghee, honey) while chanting "Om Namah Shivaya." Next, offer sandalwood paste, incense, a lighted lamp, and flowers to the Rudraksha.

Following this, chant the mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" 108 times. The most effective method for energizing a Rudraksha is to visit a Shiva temple and place the Rudraksha upon the Shiv Linga. Then, while performing worship of the Rudraksha alongside Lord Shiva, continue chanting "Om Namah Shivaya." Through this process, the Rudraksha becomes fully energized very quickly.

A Rudraksha should be cleaned occasionally using a mild soap and a soft brush; avoid using any harsh cleaners or chemicals. Doing so can diminish the potency of the Rudraksha.

A Rudraksha is a natural bead; therefore, it possesses its own inherent weight. To identify a genuine Rudraksha, place it in water; if it sinks, it is authentic. A genuine Rudraksha features natural grooves known as “Mukhis” (faces) on its surface and feels rough to the touch. It is typically somewhat heavier than imitations. When scratched with a needle, a genuine Rudraksha yields fibrous strands, whereas a fake one often made of plastic or wood will not. Furthermore, a fake Rudraksha will not sink in water.

You are free to wear a Rudraksha on your own if you wish. However, if you seek the guidance of an astrologer, they can recommend the specific type of Rudraksha that is most suitable for you based on your individual birth chart.

Scientifically speaking, the Rudraksha has no adverse side effects. However, if worn incorrectly or if the body is unable to immediately adapt to its high energy vibrations one may experience mild symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, or slight skin irritation during the initial days. Nevertheless, after a few days, the body typically adjusts to the bead.

The Rudrakshas found in the Arun Valley region of Kathmandu, Nepal, are considered to be of the highest quality of Rudraksha there.

The 5-Mukhi, 3-Mukhi, and 6-Mukhi Rudrakshas are the most abundantly mostly available varieties.

Rudrakshas are available in a range spanning from 1 Mukhi up to 21 Mukhis. However, in the vast majority of cases, multi-faced Rudrakshas sold in the market are duplicates, and people only realize much later that they have fallen victim to fraud.

Rudrakshas grow in many places across India; in some regions, they are even cultivated. However, Rudrakshas from Nepal are regarded as the most excellent and potent of all a distinction attributed primarily to geographical, spiritual, and structural factors. Blessed by the grace of Lord Shiva and nurtured by the unique climate and soil of the Himalayan region, these Rudrakshas possess unparalleled power and quality.

The main difference between Rudraksha and Bhadraksha is, Rudraksha are the tears of Shiva and Bhadraksha is the low quality and looks like Rudraksha. However, Rudraksha is big in size and natural porosity than Bhadraksha. Rudraksha is round, dark in color and has natural holes, while Bhadraksha is oval, light, dull and without holes.

Rudraksha is mainly found in Nepal and Indonesia, whereas Bhadraksha is found widely in India and is considered to be of low quality.
