How would you know if there is lead inside a Rudraksha?

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sreevidya,

 

Thanks for kind words. Its quite difficult for the layman to tell if

there is lead inside a rudraksha. If a bead is unusually heavy, in

the weight of a medium or large sized Parad Siddh Gutika (Mercury

Bead), then it would be best to send it for authentification. There

is a free authentification service provided by Rudra Centre but you

will need to pay return postage or shipping cost. Enquiry can be

made to: /sendEnquiry.php

 

Its all right not to have matched the subject to the message - don't

worry.

 

Its ok to spray a little Gangajal on the beads before placing them on

the altar at night, provided its a fine mist, not strong spraying.

This will not spoil rudraksha. However its advisable to wash your

beads once you see dirt, grit or dust on them. Then make sure they

are completely dry before oiling them. Once in a while, depending on

the climate where you are living, oiling will help maintain them well.
