Story of Ardhanareeshwar :
As per mythology, there was a demon named ADI who could change his form at will. To entice Shiva he approached him in the form of Parvati. Lord Shiva the all-seeing God recognized this deceit and killed him. However Goddess Parvati was furious to see another woman with Shiva. She cursed Nandi his gatekeeper to turn into a stone idol.
Parvati’s fury knew no bounds. Lord Brahma decided to intervene and took away her dark, furious form (Kali). Parvati then took on a poised golden form called as Gauri. Lord Brahma then blessed her that your form will merge with your husband’s form so closely that nobody would ever separate both of you. This is how the Ardhanareeshwar form was first eulogized.
Please Note :
The 2 Mukhi Nepal Rudraksha is a rare bead. The Java 2 Mukhi and Haridwar variety are more easily available. Haridwar variety of 2 mukhi bead is a substitute of 2 mukhi from Nepal. This bead from Haridwar does not have a natural hole and a hole has to be drilled into it for wearing purpose. It is only an alternate due to high price of Nepal 2 mukhi therefore it is considered to be partially effective.
Rules for wearing and how to maintain your Rudraksha :
Wash your Rudraksha with water and oil the Rudraksha using a soft brush preferably once a month using almond oil.
Chant ‘Om Namah Shivaye’ before wearing the Mala the next day.
Remove Rudraksha Mala while engaging in sexual intercourse and while visiting funeral grounds.
We at Rudralife, suggest that one can remove Rudraksha Mala while consuming non vegetarian food and alcohol and wear it afterwards. Though our scriptures also highlight that they can be worn all the time without any restrictions.
Women can wear Rudraksha and is their choice whether they wish to remove the Mala during menstrual cycles. As per our scriptures, there are no such restrictions and women can wear Rudraksha without any worries.
To energise the Rudraksha Mala, touch it to a shivling and chant ‘Om Namah Shivaye’ 11 times. If possible, try to do a Rudrabhishek of the Rudraksha when possible.
Do try to refrain from wearing a Rudraksha Mala worn by others and keep a Mala separate for Japa and for wearing.
