PURITY
& PRECAUTIONS: |
| Tests like the one which sinks
in water is original and the one that floats is a duplicate one
are not right. Even the ones made of wood with some lead impregnated
in it can sink comfortably in water. The best way is to procure
from reliable source. |
Many get confused with the shape
and size. One should not seriously worry about it. Just see that
the Mukhi is well defined, corns and contours are natural, there
are no cracks near the central hole and the bead has a good health.
Smaller size is also considered to be very auspicious. |
Rudraksha can be worn at all
times. Some books say that Rudraksha could be taken off during sex,
menstrual cycles, during visit to funeral grounds and during Bowel
movements. Also it is advisable to take off beads while taking bath
as excess soap dehydrates the beads of the natural Oil. They need
to be worn with faith, respect and love. |
Life of Rudraksh could be any
number of years. If well protected, can be passed on from generation
to generation. |

Identification
of real Rudraksh:
|
| 1. |
If
you place a real Rudraksha bead in a full glass of water,
it would drown in water.
|
| 2. |
Boil the Rudraksha in
water for continuous 6 hours, if it is real rudraksha there
would not be any effect on the rudraksha bead, else if it
is artificial or two rudrakshas are joined together artificially
(in case of Gauri Shanker bead), they will get separated.
|
| 3. |
Rudraksha Bead shall not
be broken from any end. |
