Rudraksha is a priceless pearl, by wearing or using it a person gets infallible results. Rudraksha, the form of Lord Shiva, makes life meaningful, by adopting it everyone gets a prosperous life. There are many species and different types of Rudraksha available, but identifying the correct Rudraksha is a difficult task. Know how to identify real Rudraksha from an Astrologer.
Nowadays everyone in the market claims to provide real Rudraksha, but it is difficult to guess how much truth is there in this statement. Greedy people make many stripes on Rudraksha and sell it by calling it twelve-faced or twenty-one-faced Rudraksha. In some cases, two Rudrakshas are joined to make one Rudraksha like Gauri Shankar or Trijuti Rudraksha. Apart from this, lead or mercury is also added to make them heavy and some Rudrakshas also have figures like snakes and tridents.
There are many misconceptions about the identification of Rudraksha. Due to this the common man is unable to correctly identify the real Rudraksha and finds himself incurable. Lack of knowledge of real Rudraksha and absence of real Rudraksha in worship and meditation makes the worship and its effect meaningless. Therefore, the Rudraksha for worship must be real. There is another fruit similar to Rudraksha which is called Bhadraaksha and it looks similar to Rudraksha, so some people sell it as fake Rudraksha instead of Rudraksha. Bhadraaksha looks like Rudraksha but it does not have the qualities like Rudraksha.
There Are Some Ways To Identify Real Rudraksha, Which Are As Follows
- To recognize Rudraksha, bubble it in water for a couple of hours. If the color of Rudraksha does not come out or there is no effect on it, then it will be real.
- If on cutting Rudraksha, the same number of circles are seen inside it as being outside, then it will be real Rudraksha. This test is viewed as right, yet its negative angle is that the Rudraksha gets obliterated.
- To identify the Rudraksha, scratch it with a sharp object. If filaments emerge from it, comprehend that the Rudraksha is genuine.
- The upper surface for example the level of two genuine Rudrakshas isn’t something similar, yet the level of phony Rudraksha is something very similar.
- The second way is to put the Rudraksha in water. If it sinks, it will be real. On the off chance that it doesn’t sink, it is phony. But this test is not considered useful, because the ability of Rudraksha to sink or float depends on its density and whether it is raw or ripe. Rudraksha made of metal or any other heavy substance also sinks in water.
- The second use is to keep a Rudraksha rosary between two copper coins, it moves a little.
- If the Rudraksha is kept between the nails of both thumbs, if it rotates then it will be real, otherwise, it will be fake. But this method is also not correct.
- If you look at Ek Mukhi Rudraksha carefully, you will see a trident or an eye mark on it. If the Rudraksha mala is kept in bright sunlight for a long time and there is no crack or breakage in the Rudraksha, then it is considered genuine.
- Before buying Rudraksha, some basic things should be kept in mind such as the Rudraksha should not have insects, it should not be broken, it should not be perfectly round, the Rudraksha should break while piercing it, etc.
