Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Namaste Andrew, boiling water is safe to use on genuine rudraksh beads. Without seeing a pic of your beads, its difficult to conclude whether its oil or resin. Perhaps Sri Dharma Dev Arya and other friends here may be able to tell us more as I haven't experienced something similar to what you've described. All beads that I got from Rudra Centre are of pristine condition and high quality. Ommmmm , "andrewngmm" <andrewngmm wrote: > > Hi, > > Is boiling safe?
