Hi,
I am living in Chennai. Recently I was trying to buy a 5 Mukhi rudraksha for wearing it. But in the shops near by my area I couldn't find any original rudraksha's. Most of them are fake. . .
I could see the hole in between is perfectly cylindrical and man made.
I went to thiruvannamalai recently. There I bought one 5 Mukhi Rudraksha. I was not convinced on its originality but even then I bought it. The rudraksha I have now seems to have natural contours between faces but the hole in the centre seems to be man made since its perfectly cylindrical. I got a doubt whether it would be Bhadraksha. But when I kept the bead between two copper coins the bead slightly deflected. I am getting confused because of this.
Will bhadraksha also deflect slightly when kept between copper coins ?
In that case how can we differentiate a rudraksha from bhadraksha or other inferior quality beads.
Where can we get a original Rudraksha bead. Please let me know . . .
Thanks you.
Regards,
Hari
