Wearing Guide

Rinse the bead in clean water (or raw milk, if you prefer), set it before Shiva, and repeat Om Hreem Namah 108 times; then put it on — ideally on a Monday morning. Wear it against the skin on red or black thread or in a silver or gold cap. Any sign of the zodiac may wear Rudraksha. Take it off to bathe or sleep, keep it away from perfume and cleaning chemicals, and re-oil it lightly once a year.
