Shiva Om Dear Friends<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most sensitive frequently\nasked Questions in my profession.<\/a> As\nthe Indian mind has many divergent views on this issue and most of these views\nare sexist and explosive in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nare some Orthodox conservative thinkers who strongly are of the opinion that\nWomen should not wear Rudrakshas. These kind of people are normally highly\nprejudiced and have strong biases. While the liberal school of thought thinks\notherwise and is very much for Women also equally benefitting from this Gift of\nthe Almighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthis ensuing duel of these two opposing schools let us see what the most\nauthoritative classical scripture has to say on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going\nstrictly as per what the Holy Shiva Purana has to say, it has categorically\nstated that women must wear Rudraksha\u2019s<\/a>. Thereby making the stance of the Orthodox\nschool redundant and defunct. It is baseless and hence\nthis advice should not be heeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, they are free to wear any\nMukhi Rudraksha or a combination or even a Mala of Rudraksha\u2019s. They are also\nfree to wear a Rudraksha of any of the origins ( Nepal, Indonesian and Indian\n).  It has elaborated no further. Leaving it to\ninterpretation if women who have hit their puberty can wear Rudraksha\u2019s or not.\nI personally belong to the Liberal school and I do not see any reason why the\nRudraksha\u2019s need to be removed when a very natural process is at work and hence\nI do not recommend my client\u2019s to remove the same. However, I leave the final\ndecision to the sensibility of my client and think it appropriate to let her\ntake the final call on this sticky issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having not only read the scriptures but in my\npersonal experience I am of the opinion that women can very well wear the Holy Rudraksha<\/a>. The\nAlmighty Shiva has bestowed this \u201cGem of a Bead\u201d<\/strong> to\nthe entire mankind regardless of sex, caste, creed, etc. This pious and holy\nbead is beyond all these man made divisions and biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is rather selfish of mankind to attribute\nsome natural reasons to be a cause for the fairer sex not to gain from the\nimmense benefits this wonderful bead has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nhave personally in the course of my professional practice as an Astrologer\nrecommended the Holy Rudraksha to so many Women and most of them have even worn\nthem. I have not seen any negative fallout in their lives post wearing the\nRudraksha. In fact my wife also does wear Rudraksha\u2019s from a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most\nof the Women when initially are recommended to wear a Rudraksha are reluctant\nas they themselves are plagued with the thought that they are not allowed to\nwear a Rudraksha. It is all thanks to the mischief mongers who spread these\ncanard of lies. It is only after explaining to them in detail and with tons of\npatience that there is no taboo with Women wearing Rudraksha\u2019s that they\nfinally relent and are most glad to adorn the Holy bead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I earnestly hope that this Blog has done away with any hitches you may have also personally harbored in case of Women wearing of the Holy Rudraksha. Hope that my friends agree with me and would propagate this view further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
