रुद्राक्ष-माहात्म्य
Rudrākṣa Māhātmya — The Greatness of Rudraksha
रुद्रा क्षधारणं प्रोक्तं पापनाशनहेतवे । तस्माच्च धारणी यो वै सर्वार्थसाधनो ध्रुवम्
rudrā kṣadhāraṇaṃ proktaṃ pāpanāśanahetave | tasmācca dhāraṇī yo vai sarvārthasādhano dhruvam
Việc đeo chuỗi hạt Rudrākṣa đã được truyền dạy như phương tiện diệt trừ tội lỗi. Vì thế, ai thật sự mang Rudrākṣa ấy thì chắc chắn thành tựu mọi mục đích chính đáng.

It presents Rudrākṣa-dhāraṇa as a Shaiva sādhana that purifies karmic blemishes (pāpa) and supports the seeker’s progress toward the four puruṣārthas, culminating in liberation through Shiva’s grace.
Rudrākṣa is treated as a sacred Shaiva emblem that keeps the devotee aligned with Saguna Shiva worship—supporting japa, vrata, and Linga-pūjā—so the body and mind remain oriented to Shiva-bhakti.
Wear Rudrākṣa with reverence, and use it for mantra-japa—especially the Panchākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya”—as a daily discipline for purification and steady devotion.
