- Always keep your Rudraksha clean. Dust and dirt can settle within the pores of the bead. Clean these as frequently as you can. If the thread becomes dirty or damaged, change it. After cleaning, wash your Rudraksha with Ganga Jal or milk. This helps maintain its sanctity.
- Always keep the Rudraksha oiled. After regular cleaning, oil the bead and offer them the incense sticks. This is of utmost importance. Especially when not using the bead for some time, or storing it for a long time.

- Mala that we wear around neck is formed of 108 beads or 54 beads. Japa mala can be as small as 27 beads. Do not use neck mala as Japa mala or interchangeably because purpose of each and every is different. before wearing the rudraksha take that mala to lord Shiva’s temple and offer Rudra Abhishek. Only after that the mala should be worn. One should chant the mantra “OM NAMAH SHIVAY” for at least 3 times while wearing it.
