Genuine Rudraksha Japa Mala 108 Beads Premium

FAQ

• Do rudraksha beads actually work?

  +

  Rudraksha is a sacred seed in Hindu tradition, and its significance is devotional rather than scientifically demonstrated; Plus Value does not claim otherwise. There is no controlled scientific evidence that wearing rudraksha changes health, finances, or life outcomes. What we can state precisely is what you receive: the bead type stated on the listing, checked for natural mukhi lines, and our 3-step energisation completed before dispatch. Wearers generally describe the value as devotion, discipline, and steadiness in daily practice. If you are looking for a guaranteed result, this is not the right category for you.

• What is the 3-step energisation and who performs it?

  +

  Every item is prepared in-house before dispatch in three steps: mantra chanting, Reiki alignment, and exposure to pyramid and sound. The process is supervised by the team of Nitien Parmar, who has practised Vastu professionally since 1991. Energisation is a traditional preparation ritual. It does not alter the physical material, weight, or finish of the product, and it is not a certification of any kind.

• How long does delivery take, and what if I need to return it?

  +

  Orders placed before 2 PM, Monday to Saturday, are dispatched the same day from Malad West, Mumbai. Delivery is typically 2 to 3 working days within Mumbai and 3 to 6 working days elsewhere in India. Tracking details are sent by email, SMS, and WhatsApp once the parcel is handed to the courier. Returns must be requested within 24 hours of delivery, in unused condition with original packaging, and return shipping is deducted from the refund. Defective or damaged items are replaced with the same product.

• How can I tell if a rudraksha bead is original?

  +

  Look at the mukhi lines first: on a genuine bead the lines run naturally from the top hole to the bottom and continue through the surface texture, while carved fakes show interrupted or unnaturally even lines. Check for glued joints, since fake high-mukhi beads are often assembled from segments. The popular water sink test is unreliable, because density varies with the bead's maturity. For high-value beads such as one mukhi or Gauri Shankar, an X-ray examination is the standard verification, as it shows the internal seed chambers matching the face count.

• Which mukhi rudraksha should I wear?

  +

  Five mukhi is the standard bead worn for general wellbeing and japa, and it suits first-time wearers. Traditional attributions assign one mukhi to focus and leadership, two mukhi to harmony in relationships, three mukhi to confidence, and four mukhi to learning and communication. These are traditional associations rather than scientific claims. If you are choosing for a specific intent, share it on WhatsApp at 9967433501 and the team will suggest the appropriate mukhi.

• How do I wear and care for a rudraksha?

  +

  Wear it strung on silk or cotton thread, or capped in silver or gold, close to the skin. Clean it occasionally with a soft brush and water, dry it completely, and lightly oil the bead with sandalwood or coconut oil every few months to prevent cracking in dry weather. Remove it before swimming in chlorinated water. Store it in a clean cloth pouch when not worn.

• Can women wear rudraksha, and can it be worn during periods?

  +

  Yes, women can wear rudraksha; the major traditions place no general bar on it. Practices around wearing it during menstruation vary by family and lineage, with many wearing it throughout and some choosing to set it aside for those days. There is no rule from our side either way; follow your own family custom. The bead itself needs no special re-cleansing afterwards.
