Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Care & Precautions Clean your mala / beads when you feel they require cleaning after regular usage . Dip in Luke warm water. Add some liquid soap . Keep for minimum 24 hours and then brush with a plastic brush to clean the dirt and grime that fixes in the pores of the beads . Then wash with running water and leave the beads to dry for several hours , and then apply some oil on the beads by using a brush. Sandal wood oil is best mixed with light Olive oil . Oiling may be repeated every few weeks or whenever the beads seem dry as oiling makes the beads strong. If rudraksha are worn during bath , then it is recommended to keep them away from Soap , as it penetrates the bead pores and makes them dehydrated . Regular washing with water is good for the beads . If not worn during bath , the beads may be washed in normal clean water , during prayers . Rudraksha beads may be worn all the time . According to our authentic texts there are no do's and don'ts on wearing these beads. The beads are holy and one needs to maintain their purity and energy by treating them with respect and care. Regularly wash them , oil them and chant mantras with them . Wear the mala inside dress and do not touch with hands and fingers . When you take the mala off please keep in a pouch or a plate in your altar . You may take mala off at night and keep in a plate in your altar and wear again in the morning after bath and prayers . Rest of the day there is no need to take off mala . /articledt.php?art_id=44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
