    Rules for Wearing a Rudraksha Mala

    Namaste,

    I just got a rudraksha mala. I have heard there are some rules for wearing it, but they seem to differ.

    It is given that one should not eat meat with the mala on. I have also heard that one should not sleep with the mala on, or bathe. Also that one should not drink alcohol, smoke, have sexual intercourse, etc.

    I also heard more strictly that one should not even eat eggs, or anything not sattvic, such as garlic, onions, mushrooms, etc. This would be very difficult for me for several reasons. Firstly because I do eat eggs, usually in baked items — I enjoy baking myself and regularly use eggs. Secondly because I regularly consume garlic, though not as much if at all onions or mushrooms.

    So can someone give me what the rules are for this? I'd really like a definitive answer.

    Thanks for your help.

    I've heard that there are some days where we shouldn't wear the Rudraksh mala, I don't know exactly what they days will be.
    Do you know something like that If so share would be appreciated.

    I also have a rudraksha mala and also rudraksha as a bracelet. I too have seen the rules no meat, sex, bathing, smoking, drinking alcohol while wearing the rudraksha mala.
