Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. If deeper cleaning is required, gently rinse with clean water. Do not scrub the beads with a hard brush. Pat dry with a soft cloth. Allow the mala to dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated place. Avoid prolonged soaking and excessive moisture. Important: Because the mala contains metal/silver-toned components, avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, perfumes, and abrasive cleaners. 🌿 How to Care for It Keep away from perfume, chemicals, cosmetics, and excessive sweat. Avoid wearing it while bathing or swimming. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Do not store it in a damp place. Keep it in a clean, dry pouch or sacred space when not in use. Handle the Rudraksha beads gently to prevent damage to their natural surface. Periodically check the thread, silver spacers, and pendant for signs of wear. 🕉️ How It Traditionally Works In Hindu spiritual traditions, Rudraksha is regarded as a sacred bead associated with Lord Shiva. Practitioners use Rudraksha malas primarily as tools for japa, meditation, prayer, and spiritual discipline. The mala's 54+1 bead structure can be used for repetitive mantra practice, while the Shankh-inspired pendant adds a traditional devotional element. The perceived spiritual benefits depend on an individual's faith, practice, intention, and personal experience rather than established scientific evidence. 🔱 How to Energize the Mala Before first use, many practitioners choose to perform a simple traditional purification and prayer ritual: Gently clean the mala with clean water. Place it on a clean cloth in your prayer space. Light a diya or incense if this is part of your practice. Offer a short prayer according to your tradition. Chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times or as many repetitions as comfortable. Wear or use the mala after the prayer. Avoid prolonged soaking or leaving the Rudraksha submerged in milk or other liquids, as moisture can affect natural seeds and metal components. 📿 Who Can Use It?
