Rudraksha

Everything you should know about Rudraksha

The Rudraksh bead is a naturally occurring seed that has been traditionally linked to Lord Shiva. Each bead displays lines or faces (mukhi). Ranging from 1 to 21, these faces carry the energy of the twelve planets. For instance, 1 Mukhi relates to the Sun, 2 Mukhi to the Moon, and so on. Ek Mukhi Rudraksh is considered the best amongst all types. It is believed to be a “manifestation of Lord Shiva” and hence worn for protection from evil forces.

Rudraksha Quality and Price

Before you buy a rudraksha, make sure you purchase it from a reputable seller only. High-quality rudraksha has clearly defined mukhis or faces. The price varies depending on the rarity and type. For instance, 1 Mukhi and 21 Mukhi rudraksha are rare and thus their cost is higher. Like gemstones, roodraskh should also be natural. Fake or chemically treated beads lose spiritual benefits and cosmic energy.

Clean with only water to make it free from dust and sweat. If you are wearing it for planetary energy, then energising it is essential. While you wear these sacred beads, make sure you prefer a sattvic lifestyle.
