Traditionally, a good Rudraksha bead is considered very hard and long-lasting. Beads may break only if subjected to significant physical impact, poor quality, or natural deterioration.
Possible reasons for breakage:
- The bead may have been of lower quality.
- It could have been affected by insect or natural decay, which may sometimes be concealed.
- Certain hybrid Rudraksha beads from Indonesia are larger and more prone to breaking.
In traditional practice, breakage is considered a natural physical occurrence and not necessarily linked to spiritual effects.
