WHAT SHASTRAS SAY:-
"Dhyaan dharan Heenoapi Rudraksham Dharaya Budhah,
Sarvapaap Vinirmukto sa yaati,
Paramam gatim."
A man with meditation and perseverance and a wise man who wears Rudraksha gets rid
of all the sins and attains the supreme goal of the human life.
"Shiva Poojayam Asya Mala Dharana ma vashyakam".
It means that Rudraksha mala must be worn at the time of worshipping Lord Shiva.
"Rudraksha Kewalam Waapi Yatra Kutra Mahamate,
Sumantrakam Wa Mantren Rahitam Bhava
Varjitam"
"Yo Wa ko Wa naro Bhaktya Dharyellajjayaapi Wa,
Sarvapaap Vinirmukta Samyagjnanam An Wapnuyaat"
Rudraksha can be worn by chanting mantra , with reverence , with devotion, with shame
i.e. with whatsoever procedure a man who wears Rudraksha gets rid of all kinds of sins and gets knowledge well.
"Shiva bhaktya shantaya dadyadrudrakshashuttaman,
Tasya Punyaphal syantam nacha
ha vaktumats the
Dhritrudraksha kanthaya yastvanna sam pryachchhatitri
Saptakula mudadhritya Rudraalokam sa gachchhati."
A Shiv bhakta i.e. devotee of Lord Shiva should be given Rudraksha for peace.
The limitlessness of the result of its virtues cannot be described. A man, who gives food to the wearer of Rudraksha,
reaches Rudraloka i.e. the kingdom of Lord Rudra after providing salvation to seven orders of his ancestors. If
the wearer of the Rudraksha dies, he does not take another birth, he reaches the kingdom of Rudra. If a man who is wearing
Rudraksha around the neck or an arm, dies, he lives in the kingdom of Rudra after providing salvation to 21 orders of his
ancestors. A man who wears Rudraksha with Pearls, Coral, Crystal, Silver, Gold or other precious stone, takes the form
of Lord Shiva. The devotee who worships Lord Shiva in the form of Rudraksha devotedly, becomes a king inspite of being
poor.
"Arudrakshadharo Bhootwa yadyat Karmach Vaidikam,
Karoti Japahomaadi tat sarwe nisphalam
bhavet"
A man who perform Vedic rituals, chanting mantras, yajnas etc without wearing Rudraksha,
gets no virtue or fruit.
"Snane dane jape home vaishvadeva surarchne,
Prayashchite tatha shraadhde deeksha
kaale visheshatah,
Arudraksha Dharo Bhootwa yat kimchit karma vaidikim,
Kurvan viprastu Mohen NarakepatatiDhruwam."
Failing to wear Rudraksha , a man who performs religious deeds/bathing, worshipping
gods Vishwadeva to perform the penitence (repent) and shraadhda karmas (deeds for bygone souls) , at initiation, falls prey
to innocence and worldly attachment and at last falls into hell i.e. his down-fall comes. It is the reason why a man
should wear Rudraksha while performing religious activities.
The wearer of Rudraksha not only makes Lord Shiva
happy but pleases Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu, Ganesh, Kaartikey, Durga, Indra, Aditya and the ruling deities of the nine
planets. No men, seers and scholars are tired of describing the importance of Rudraksha. Rudraksha is very much dear
to Lord Shiva. No body can imagine the image of Lord Shiva without Rudraksha. Seeing, chanting and worshipping
Rudraksha burns all the sins to ashes. A man can feel unlimited pleasure only by seeing Rudraksha. The wishers
of devotion and salvation should wear it after purifying themselves. Mainly the devotees of Lord Shiva must wear it
because it removes their numerous pains, sorrows, and calamities. Rudraksha fulfills all the wishes. It is peerless
in the universe. It is the dearest ornament to Lord Shiva. If an innocent, un devoted and immoral man wears Rudraksha
with love and faith, he gets rid of all sins and attains the supreme goal. As long as a man keeps wearing Rudraksha, he does
not fear untimely death. He cannot die without completing his span of life. At the time of death he gets the true
knowledge of Lord Shiva and His abode too. One should wear Rudraksha by all bits of efforts.Continued On................................
