Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 much information available on it. I was told that these beads also have similar power like Rudraksha. In Puranas, there is also a Mantra which mentions that Bhadraksha also have power similar to Rudraksha. I personally feel that the Bhadraksha mentioned in this mantra is Elaeocarpus tuberculatus. The most interesting part of the story about flat beads is that, the most popularly sold 'Cashew Nut Shaped One Mukhi' is nothing but, a morphological variation under the species Elaeocarpus tuberculatus. The flat beads are treated as Bhadraksha and 'Crescent shaped One Mukhi beads' are praised as the most rare One Mukhi. In cashewnut shape, two mukhi beads are also reported. Elaeocarpus tuberculatus is commonly found in forests of Western Ghats of the South India. It is reported from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. It is also reported from Andaman and Nicobar. This species is not reported from Nepal.
