How to worship 12 Face rudraksha

Worshiping a 12-face Rudraksha is a spiritual practice that can help in enhancing spiritual growth, peace, and well-being. The 12-face Rudraksha represents the 12 forms of Lord Shiva and is believed to bring prosperity and blessings. 

1. Cleanse the Rudraksha:

• Start by cleansing the Rudraksha bead. You can do this by washing it with water or wiping it with a soft cloth. This helps remove any impurities and sets a pure energy around the bead.

2. Establish the Rudraksha:

• You can place the Rudraksha on a clean, sacred space or altar. Ideally, use a white cloth and place the Rudraksha on it. If you have a designated place of worship, this is the perfect spot.

3. Prepare the Offerings:

• Prepare simple offerings to present during the worship. This could include flowers, incense, fruit, or any other offerings that you believe will add to the sanctity of the worship.

4. Chanting and Mantras:

• Begin by reciting a prayer or mantra to invoke Lord Shiva’s blessings. One common mantra is: “Om Namah Shivaya”
• You can also chant the 12-face Rudraksha mantra: “Om Hreem Namah”
• Repeat this mantra 108 times using a Rudraksha mala or just focusing on the vibration of the sound. The number 108 is considered auspicious in many Hindu practices.

5. Meditation:

• Sit comfortably, holding the 12-face Rudraksha bead in your hands, or wear it as a pendant. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and focus on Lord Shiva’s presence. Meditate on the divine energy that the Rudraksha represents. Visualize it bringing peace, strength, and divine blessings into your life.

6. Lighting a Diya or Incense:

• Light a diya (lamp) or incense sticks during the worship to purify the space and create a peaceful atmosphere. The light represents the presence of divine energy.

7. Express Gratitude:

• After completing the worship, sit quietly for a few minutes and express your gratitude for the divine blessings. You can ask for guidance, health, prosperity, and peace for yourself and your loved ones.

8. Regular Worship:

• For maximum benefits, it is suggested to worship the Rudraksha regularly, preferably daily. You can increase the intensity of your worship during auspicious occasions or specific planetary transits.
