How to Wear Rudraksha Correctly (Rules, Do’s & Don’ts)

1) Thread vs Silver/Gold: What’s Better?

• Thread (red/black): traditional, lightweight, easy for daily use.
• Silver: popular for durability + clean look.
• Gold: premium, mostly for style + luxury (not required spiritually).

MBR tip: If you sweat a lot or wear daily, silver is a great balance.

2) Where to Wear: Neck or Wrist?

• Neck: best for malas or single bead pendants.
• Wrist: good for daily wear, especially smaller beads.

3) Can You Wear Rudraksha Every Day?

Yes. Many people wear it daily. Just keep it clean and avoid harsh chemicals.

4) Do You Need Puja or Energization?

Some traditions do, some don’t. A safe approach:

• Wash with clean water
• Apply a tiny amount of ghee/oil occasionally (for nourishment)
• Wear with respect and consistency

• Keep it dry after bathing
