From the Ancient Vedic Texts

Auspicious Adornment & Storage

When not wearing your Power Rudraksha, place it on your home altar, in plain sight, or wrap it in silk and place it under your bed pillow. Do not bathe or shower with it on, or get it wet.

The 18-Mukhi Power Rudraksha helps to neutralize the negative effects of present and past-life karmas that may be revealed in your astrological chart. It’s highly recommended that each time you put on your 18-Mukhi Power Rudraksha, you face East.

*True Origins of Power

It’s commonly thought, and promoted, that Rudraksha sourced from different geographic locations are more…or less…‘authentic’ and, therefore, more…or less…sacred. This is a modern misunderstanding, based primarily on outward/physical appearances, materialistic (and commercial) considerations and philosophical generalizations. The truer, deeper spiritual considerations are these: as with every physical form/object in Nature, no matter its physical origin, the majority of an object’s inherent Shakti (divine power) remains naturally dormant until it is fully, spiritually activated. This activation process is—and always has been—the purview of authentic spiritual masters. As with every other holy seed/bead, the Rudraksha, in its natural state, is ‘holy’ for only 2 very practical reasons: 1) these beads naturally express more of their inherent Shakti—more than most every other natural object-&-form does; and 2) authentic spiritual masters, since ancient times, having recognized their distinct natural properties, favored such beads as powerful tools, which could be used to amplify the power of the masters’ own spiritual growth and that of their students. It’s not a matter of ‘place’ or ‘natural state’. It’s a matter of power and how it may best be accessed.
