Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can anyone wear Rudraksha regardless of caste, creed, gender, or age?

Yes. The ancient Shiva Purana unequivocally affirms that any human being regardless of gender, caste, nationality, or age can wear Rudraksha with devotion and respectful intention.

2. How do you test that the Rudraksha is 100% genuine?

Every bead undergoes digital X-ray radiography by a government-registered gemological laboratory. The X-ray reveals the internal seed compartments matching the external clefts (Mukhis), confirming the bead is not forged, glued, or artificially altered.

3. What is the difference between Nepal and Indonesian (Java) beads?

Nepali beads are larger (18mm to 35mm), heavier, and possess deeply etched natural thorny surfaces. Indonesian (Java) beads are smaller (5mm to 12mm) and smoother, making them ideal for everyday 108-bead Japa Malas and wrist bracelets. Both varieties share genuine dielectric and bio-energetic properties.

4. Can I wear my Rudraksha while sleeping or exercising?

Yes. You can wear it during sleep, travel, meditation, and work. It is advised to remove it during commercial bathing with soaps/shampoos to keep natural pores clean, and during funeral rituals as a mark of Vedic respect.
