The devotees of Shiva, observe
types of Shiva, Shiva-Parvati, Shivalinga etc. in Rudraksh. There
are numerous tales regarding the origin of Rudraksh in varied
Puranas. Ancient vedic scriptures like Shiva Purana, PadmaPurana
(Chap fifty seven) Srimad Bagwata (Chap III to VII ) Rudraksh
Jabbalaoapanishad, Mantra Maharnava, etc. mentioned about the
greatness and wonderful properties of Rudraksh beads.
It's believed that one who put
on Rudraksh on their bodies, can't be affected by sins. Even when,
one wears Rudraksh on his body, without doing worship and saying the
sacred mantra, does no get close to any sinful deed or thought.
The Rudraksh are worn for their specific benefits. These are much
more highly effective and will help achieve wonders, if energized
and empowered the suitable way. Rudraksh of various mukhis pleases
the corresponding planets. It might be sufficient to go in for just
for these mukhis whose ruling planets, trigger malefic effects.
Before carrying the Rudraksh it's higher to cleanse and purify it
with milk, ghee, oil etc. and do pran prathista (give life to the
Rudraksh) when the mantras comparable to the mukhis are chanted, the
Rudraksh gets activated
