========================

 

Rudraksha beads are full of grandeur and mystery! They are an

ancient bead and have an amazing story. It is up to you whether to

believe or not to believe! I myself believe. Read on...

 

 

Rudraksha Forest

The rudraksha comes from a tree (Elaeocarpus Ganitrus) that only

grows in India, Nepal, Indonesia and Malaysia and it takes up to 18

years to become fully mature. The fruit of the tree is round and

green. Once it is picked or fallen, it turns a vibrant and amazing

blue color (Interesting how it ties into this whole blue pearl

theme, huh?). The seed within the fruit can be up as small as teeny

tiny and as large as 1 inch. Each seed has a different number of

faces or mukhis, which can number from 1 to 38. The most common

number being 5 mukhis.

 

I get my Rudrakshas from a very reputable source in India. They have

been blessed by a Vedic Priest in traditional vedic ceremonies and

are ready for wearing and usage. Chanting the specific mantra for

each mukhi is recommended, but not required.

 

There are many stories about the divine properties of the different

mukhis. I will tell you some here but must say that nothing on this

website is meant to treat, prevent, diagnosis, cure, heal, or

anything else I could get sued for. This is solely my opinion and

experience and I must urge each and every person to do their own

research and or talk to their own health care professional. If you

are on high blood pressure medication, don't stop taking it and

start wearing rudraksha beads and expect everything to be fine,

unless of course you are enlightened and have no ego. That

said...here we go.

 

The "myth" goes like this... Rudra means Shiva and Aaksha means eye

or tear. Rudraksha means "The tears of Shiva". It goes on to say

that Shiva, coming out of a deep samadhi, opened his eyes and out

flowed his tears. They came to earth and grew into the Rudraksha

tree. It is said that the seed contains all the mysteries of the

cosmos and divine energy. The Indian epics are full of different

stories reputing the benefits of wearing the rudraksha.

 

 

Rudraksha fruit & beads

There have been scientific studies done proving Rudraksha have

electromagnetic properties that effect the heart, slowing it down,

inducing lower blood pressure and tranquility for the wearer.

Rudraksha also have an impact on the activity of neurotransmitters

resulting in a more positive outlook on life. Here are the main

properties of one through ten mukhis. There are more mukhi beads

available, but the price really sky rockets, as they are quite rare.

 

1 Mukhi enlightens the super consciousness

2 Mukhi maintains oneness and unity

3 Mukhi allows the wearer to become pure releasing past karma

4 Mukhi gains power of creativity

5 Mukhi gains health and peace of mind

6 Mukhi gains relief from worldly sorrows, receives wisdom and

knowledge

7 Mukhi receives freedom from worries and despair and will progress

in business

8 Mukhi brings success

9 Mukhi receives energy and fearlessness

10 Mukhi pacifies all negative planetary energy

 

I can tell you in my own journey that I really don't like to be

without my rudrakshas. I have a much quieter mind, am not so quick

to ignite and am generally more at peace when I wear them. I

have "tested" them and decided to not wear them for a couple of days

(it is said women shouldn't wear them during their period, but oh

well, I do anyway) and definitely noticed my mind chatter return.

The beads take on your energy and go from a rusty shade of red to a

dark brown to a black color. It is best to wear them on your skin.

It is good to wash them occasionally with warm water and mild soap,

using a toothbrush to get in between the crevices. After washing

them, oil them with pure sandalwood oil or your favorite Attar. They

hold the scent beautifully and it keeps them from drying out. Never

use artificial fragrances on them.

 

I have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Mukhi Rudrakshas. My 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7

mukhi beads are about 16 mm and I have 6mm, 10mm and 13mm in the 5

mukhi. Purchase them individually or choose the mukhis that attract

you the most and have me make you a one of a kind necklace or mala.

You can also choose your favorite semi precious stone, whether you

want it in sterling silver or 14kt Goldfill. Email me all the

particulars and I will make you something very special and very

beautiful.
