Q. Any other care/ precautions advised ?.

A.  Regarding prohibitions when wearing Rudraksha / Yantra Pendants - say when socializing, during sex or visiting a place of death, Rudra Centre does not suggest strict prohibitions and leaves it to the wearer's discretion and comfort levels. Associated ancient literature on the subject of prohibitions is not authoritative and indeed sometimes seem mutually contradictory. Of utmost significance and importance is the intention, faith and devotion of the wearer.

However, it is generally maintained by persons of strict upbringing and background to remove all sacred objects when having sex. It is believed that psychic energies generated during the act frequently interfere with the spiritual energies of Rudraksha / Yantras.

It is also a good idea, though not mandatory, to remove them while:

• Attending funerals or going to cremation grounds.

• Having sex.

But yes, you can wear your rudraksha beads:

• During long toilet calls.

• At the time of bath. This will help cure many skin diseases.
