Dear Hansraj,

 

Beads get darker with long-term wearing and usage due to sweat, body

chemicals and other factors such as climatic. Notice you are from

Singapore! Wow! I was there last year and stayed with family

friends in Katong on the east coast.

 

Was wearing several 11 mukhis that were new but they became dark due

to Singapore's humidity during May and June. Was told these are the

hottest months in your part of the world.

 

Virtually I had to live out of an ice box and jump into the swimming

pool or take cold showers 10 times a day or more. You see, I'm used

to cooler climates and higher altitudes above sea level. Soon as I

stepped out of every cold shower, sweat starting pouring from the

top of the head to foot, no kidding..

 

Went to the Australian Embassy on other matters but managed to also

ask a couple of Ozzie officers how they cope with the heat. Was

told they'd been posted there by Foreign Affairs Dept. on contract

for several years, hence they became assimilated with the

environment but all were looking forward to returning to either

Adelaide or Canberra when contract ended.

 

Yes, it is normal for rudrakshas to become dark in color between 2

weeks to 6 months with constant wearing (I wore mine 24 hours a

day). After washing, make sure the beads are allowed to dry

naturally.

 

In Singapore's humidity, the beads will dry within half a day even

if you put it away from sunlight.

 

After drying, use almond oil mixed with a couple of drops of

sandalwood essential oil. Use a soft toothbrush for oiling. Make

sure you drip some oil into the mouths of the beads so they run down

to the tail from inside. This will condition nicely. Rudraksha last

for many generations when properly and regulary maintained. They

don't come apart (disintegrate with passage of time) or chip off

easily, especially with very high mukhi beads.

 

If Shiva be Willing, perhaps maybe I will visit Singapore next year

for rudraksha exhibition. First have to take care of matters in

Australia, then discuss with Mrs Neeta and Rudra Centre. Will let

you know if I can really come. If so, then I shall be happy to

demonstrate the oiling process and share further with you.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best wishes

Simone
