The rudraksha is used for three kinds of purposes like wearing on the body, chanting rosary while doing some pooja or chanting mantra and also to put as an ornament on the statue of god. This rosary have to be made by using the identical rudrakshas. In most of the rudrakshas we can find the hole at the centre naturally. Hole is made only if they are not present naturally. This information might not be known to most of them.
People buy the certain kind of rudrakshas only by knowing their importance. Hence those are sold out for more prices also. Making use of this opportunity, some sellers make the fake rudrakshas that look identical to the real ones. These are mostly made out of plastic or sealing wax. We could not find the differences between the real and fake ones. Hence we need to be careful while buying the rudraksha.
There are certain easy ways to identify the real rudraksha. If we keep the rudraksha between two copper coins, then it will rotate. Also if we drop the single faced rudraksha in flowing water, it will run in the opposite direction. All the rudraksha except the four faced one will float in the water. Apart from this there are many other methods too.
Each one of the rudraksha has its own unique energy layer. Because of this only it has been told that the rudraksha should not touch each other. To separate them from each other we should tie a knot in between them. There are three kinds of knots in usage. We should observe them and buy.
These knots are called as Naagapaasam, Savithri, Brahmakiranthi. Based on the need of the rosary, the type of the knot varies. After putting all these together the ends of the rosary has to be tied. And at that point another rudraksha is tied. It is called as “Naayaga mani” or “Meru mani”.
While chanting the mantras using these rosary, the mantras get additional power. It has to be kept straight to the navel during the mornings, it has to be kept straight to the chest in the afternoon and it has to be kept straight to the nose in the evening times and chanted. Only by doing this, we can attain the results. Keeping the rudraksha rosary in hand and by chanting mantra at the mountain peaks, shore of the rivers, forests, caves, and near the samadhis of saints or Siththars, we will get the better effects. This rudraksha rosary can be worn by everyone.
In the next post we shall see about the details about the information that the Siththars have told about the rudrakshas.
