Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 rudraksha as a rule. However, under this species rarely you get three mukhi, four mukhi and one mukhi beads. The famous cashewnut Ek Mukhi rudraksha is also a morphological variation reported under this species. The another morphological variation is called as 'Shiva Pindi Ek Mukhi', in which you get one mukhi flat rudraksha (not cashew nut shaped). You also get beautiful Gauri Shankar beads,and cashewnut shaped two mukhi beads under this species. I have all these variations in my collection. I got this species identified by Kew Botanical Garden, England two years back. The flat two mukhi rudraksha ( and also other variations like 1, 3, 4 mukhi) are wrongly mentioned everywhere as 'Bhadraksha'. This is not correct. Bhadraksha is a totally different plant genus under a different plant species. As mentioned in one of my earlier posting. It is interesting to note that a cashewnut shaped Ek Mukhi variation rarely available under the same species is considered as a very valuable 'King of Rudraksha', however, other variations are stamped as 'Bhadraksha'. The Ek Mukhi rudraksha mentioned in Shiva Purana is definitely not a Cashewnut shaped rudraksha but is a round Ek Mukhi rudraksha. It is used as Ek Mukhi due to extreme rarity of round Ek Mukhi. It will be interesting to know that why the two beads shown by you are called as 'Singha' and 'Kamalesh' ? I do not know.
