Can Women or Ladies wear Rudraksha, Wearing rules for Women

Question : As posted on Rudra Beads Societies Club

Answer :

Temple priest advised me that ladies aren't supposed to wear rudraksha mala. Rudraksha is a symbol of Lord Shiva and shouldn't be worn by ladies. Is that true? Could you please advice and shed some light on this?

Answer posted by a Club Member :

Do not let the Brahmin priest whom you saw at the temple, sway you or give you doubts about ladies wearing rudraksha. There are no taboos about women wearing rudraksha. All on earth can wear rudraksha. The instinct to wear or worship rudraksha is a sign of blessing by Lord Shiva during preceding births (this is quoted in one of the ancient scriptures).

There is no Shiva without Shakti. By the same token, there is no Shakti without Shiva. Hence Shiva and Shakti are "One" and "The Same". They are two sides of the same coin : The Ultimate Supreme Goddess.

If one sees duality in his samsara then he differentiates between men and women. All rudraksha beads contain Deva and Devi. There are beads representing Shiva, Parvati, Ganapati, Lakshmi, Durga, Hanuman, Vishnu, Maa Kali, the 10 MahaVidyas, Matrikas, etc. Since the beads also represent Devi or Shakti, this means women can wear rudraksha. Lord Shiva does not discriminate between men and women, caste, race, religion, color or background. God is available to all who aspire. So is Rudraksha. Hope this helps clear your doubts.

I was wrong in doubting its power

Neeta ji namaste I have again started to enjoy the energy of my Mala,I was wrong in doubting its power. Concerning the benefit which am getting/feeling you asked me not to show my Mala then will it no be considered as egoism? Should not the power of Shiva be shared so as to let others to benefit.? regards

Impressed immensly at the moment of wearing the mala

Dear Neeta, Namaste. I received the package over a week ago, I gave it as a gift to a friend of mine who opened it just yesterday. I am writing to express how pleased I am with the whole act itself. The mala was lovingly protected, the tape is beautiful and the book helpful and explicit. My friend was impressed immensly at the moment of wearing the mala and feeling its energy. We are overly grateful. Thank you again and again for such a quick and profesional work on something as sacred and delicate as rudrakshas. Many blessings and best wishes, Luz

I have more focus the cloudiness in my thoughts has begin to clear

Hello, I am not the person who usually writes Testimonials unless I am very sure something was truly good, beneficial, and provided results as expected. I have been rudraksha ratna customer for quite some time now. It was rudraksha ratna website which got me attracted to rudraksha. After reading through its benefits I decided to try it. I can not even explain how rudraksha has influenced my life. Not only do I have what I needed in life but it also made me very grounded. So no matter what I have I remain true to the reality that I am not going to take any of this with me. I feel blessed as t
