• Do not condition your Rudraksha with Ghee & Milk for 24 hours as recommended by some internet Gurus. This is not mentioned in any Shastras and increases the chances of Rudraksha being infected with insects and pests.
• When removing and wearing again your rudraksha mala, chant the mantra ‘Om Namah Shivay’ at least three times to show respect for the beads.
• Some people prefer to remove their Rudraksha beads during intimate moments with their partners or while going to the bathroom, however this is not mandatory and there is not restriction whatsoever mentioned in the ancient Scriptures.

• If for some reason you cannot wear your rudraksha, place it in a dry & clean box. You can also keep it inside your fridge so it is protected from insects and pests.
• It is important to always purchase rudraksha using your own funds rather than relying on borrowed money from others. Similarly, this principle applies when offering Dakshina to Pandits after Rudraksha Pran Prathistha.
• It is recommended to use a strong thread when attaching the rudraksha. Alternatively, you can use multiple strands of thread to ensure its strength and prevent any risk of the thread breaking and the rudraksha falling to the ground.

Apply some unscented natural vegetable oil & scrub it using a toothbrush. Wash it well under running water. Dry it in Sunlight or using a clean hair dryer. Keep it in the fridge or freezer for a couple of days.

Rudraksha has been worn by saints and yogis for thousands of years, under all sorts of adverse climates and conditions. It is important to highlight that the authentic Scriptures do not impose much restrictions on how or who should wear rudraksha. But given the particularities of modern life and people's exposure to chemicals and negative surroundings, as well as for practical purposes of care, the above rules for rudraksha have been given.
How to Choose Rudraksha? Rudraksha Buying Guide
To choose Rudraksha beads effectively, it is important to carefully consider the properties of the beads and select the ones that align closely with your personal desires, intentions and needs.
The properties and vibrations of different rudraksha beads vary depending on their mukhis or faces, so you can wear either a single bead of a particular mukhi or a combination of different mukhis for added properties and power. It depends on whether you want to complement or enhance the power of the bead you already wore by adding more Rudraksha beads to your combination.
It is not uncommon for individuals to seek out an appropriate rudraksha bead in consideration of astrological factors, such as their birth chart; and certain companies frequently promote this idea. On the other hand, we advise searching for a suitable rudraksha primarily on the basis of personal concerns and receiving a personalized recommendation in accordance to
Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy
(RRCT) developed by Sakhashree Neeta.
Our RRCT experts are highly skilled in identifying the chakras that require attention and selecting the appropriate combination of rudraksha for healing and unblocking energy centers. Our Rudra Centre experts have been providing personalized recommendations for Rudraksha beads for many years, taking into account each individual's unique circumstances and requirements. If you'd like, you can schedule a consultation with our team. They will determine the best combination of rudraksha for you.
Once the best RRCT combination has been determined, other approaches such as astrology, meditation practice, or psychological counseling can be used to supplement but not replace the primary diagnostic tool which is based on chakra analysis and RRCT consultation.
Avail Rudraksha Recommendation from Rudra Centre Experts
Wearing Rudraksha for the First Time
You can wear Rudraksha from Rudra Centre right away without any prior procedure. Our Rudraksha beads are shipped blessed and energized. However, it's important to note that Rudraksha beads are naturally divine and possess their own properties. They do not require human intervention to be effective.
Conditioning Rudraksha beads by soaking them in ghee or milk before wearing them is unnecessary and may dull the natural luster of the beads. It also promotes the growth of insects, pests, and bacteria that deteriorate the bead. This method of consecration is not mentioned in any Shastra, despite its recent promotion by some internet gurus. Rudraksha is a natural agricultural product that must be properly cleaned when needed only, with no unnecessary extra procedures.
When you hold the Rudraksha beads in your hand for the first time, you can feel their vibrations right away. Rudraksha pulses and vibrates with energy like a living thing. It has so much miraculous energy that it can give you almost anything. For this reason, we recommend that you hold your rudraksha in the palm of your hand after receiving it and think about the intention for which you are wearing it, emphasizing this moment as a key turning point in your life. You can chant the beeja mantra of your rudraksha or “Om Namah Shivaye”, to tune yourself to receiving the blessings of the beads.
Note that chanting mantras is not compulsory for the beads to show their effect on you, but this process brings about change in your vibrations so that you draw in their energy more effectively in your aura chakra system, and become more calmer and resonate deeply with them.
Rudraksha tends to become darker with use due to natural body oils, moisture and other environmental factors; this is natural process and indicates that the Rudraksha beads are merging with your individual energy and vibrations.
Remember, if you want to maximize the benefits derived from wearing Rudraksha, you should wear it as per RRCT, day and night, even while sleeping, and follow healthy habits such as a sattvic diet and practices such as yoga, mantra chanting, meditation or other holistic practices that promote introspection.
Once Rudraksha have been worn, they activate and get in resonance with the human body.

How to derive Maximum results from Rudraksha
After decades of extensive research and study on the properties of Rudraksha and gemstones, Sakhashree Neeta developed an innovative therapy to maximize the benefits of wearing rudraksha in a shorter period of time. Originally known as Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy (RRCT), Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy (RRCT) represents a holistic approach to healing and well-being, integrating the therapeutic properties of Rudraksha beads and natural gemstones (Ratna) that combines different Mukhi Rudraksha beads with gemstones in a patented stringing method to target and heal various Chakras.
RRCT offers a unique combination of Rudraksha and gemstones, along with a specific wearing methodology tailored to individual needs. This methodology considers not only the emotional and physical aspects but also the energetic concerns of each person. By wearing the Rudraksha and gemstone combinations according to this method, individuals can harness the full potential of these natural gemstones and rudraksha to balance the body's energy centers.
Once you begin wearing Rudraksha according to Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy (RRCT), you will notice its effects on your chakras in a relatively short period, typically within 3 to 8 days. Once the Rudraksha beads establishes its connection with your energy centers, you will observe changes in various aspects of your life.

The RRCT combinations are designed to address Chakra blockages effectively, leading to improvements in physical and mental health, spiritual growth, and overall success in life. By aligning with the natural laws of life, individuals can experience greater harmony and fulfillment.

If I wear the recommended Rudraksha consistently for a period of 2 weeks when I first receive it, can I then wear it some of the time? For example if I don’t want to wear it to work during the day, but put it on after work, or if I am attending certain events or celebrations and want to wear other jewelry. I would like to be able to have some flexibility with it. Some insight into this would be appreciated.
