The holy month of Sawan (Shravan) is considered especially auspicious for the worship of Lord Shiva, and wearing Rudraksha Mala during this period can enhance your spiritual energy and attract divine blessings.
However, not all Rudrakshas are meant to be worn โ and wearing the wrong one can do more harm than good. ๐
Letโs explore what Lord Shiva himself told Maa Parvati in the Shiva Purana about which Rudraksha to wear, which to avoid, and how to wear it correctly for maximum spiritual benefits.
๐ฟ Origin of Rudraksha โ A Gift from Lord Shiva
As per the Vidyeshwar Samhita in the Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva opened his eyes after a long penance and tears fell from his eyes. Wherever they dropped, Rudraksha trees grew. These sacred beads are believed to destroy sins and lead one to salvation.
โ Benefits of Wearing Rudraksha Mala
Lord Shiva says:
- Rudraksha the size of Amla (Indian gooseberry) is the most auspicious.
- Berry-sized beads give moderate results.
- Chickpea-sized beads are of lower grade.
โจ Rudraksha is believed to:
- Fulfill all desires.
- Remove negative energies, evil spirits, and black magic.
- Bring peace, success, and spiritual growth.
- Please deities like Devi Durga, Ganesha, and Surya Dev.
โ Which Rudraksha Should NOT Be Worn?
Avoid wearing Rudraksha that is:
- Eaten by insects
- Cracked or broken
- Not completely round
- Pierced manually instead of naturally
๐ก Only wear strong, round Rudrakshas with natural holes and clear protruding lines for the best results.
