Before a Rudraksha is worn, it is traditionally energised through sacred ritual. The bead is bathed, placed before a deity, and consecrated with mantras such as 'Om Namah Shivaya'.

This process is believed to awaken the dormant spiritual energy within the seed, aligning it with the wearer's intention and planetary energies.

Many devotees repeat the energising ritual on auspicious days like Maha Shivratri, renewing the bead's vibration and their own connection to the divine.
