Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Two years back, I had ordered one do mukhi rudraksha from Indiatimes online shopping for Rs. 101.00. I was wearing it for some time and one day it broke into two halves. I realised at that time that I was duped. Two halves were pasted to make a do mukhi rudrakha. Now I am using a genuine one. Can some one tell me whether we should use black thread or red thread while using the rudraksha on the neck. I am using red coloured thread and waring it on my neck.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 dear shivbhakt subramanya om namo bhagawate rudraya two mukhi rudraksha is made available in india of three types. the first one and most visible two mukh rudraksha is a flat wide rudraksha of kite shape which is very cheap (maximum rupees fifty per bead). the second two mukh rudraksha is grown in the himalayas of the uttaranchal (india) and also from some northeastersn states of india but this is oval in shape and costs a couple of hundreds. the third and the most genuine two mukh rudraksha is round in shape similar to all rudrakshas but is small in size. this is available only from nepal and is as rare as round ek mukh rudraksha from nepal. over years of experience i found only this two mukh rudraksha from nepal giving best results and not the other two. i have stopped offering the kite shaped rudraksha since last year as my learnt friend doctor chandrasekhar phadkeji confirmed through science that it does not belong to the round rudraksha tree species. hence i suggest shiv bhakts only to go for the nepalese round two mukh. if they cannot afford, they may go in for the small oval indian two mukh but definitely not the flat kite shaped two mukh. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com , "A V SUBRAMANYA" <subbie19 wrote: > > Two years back, I had ordered one do mukhi rudraksha from Indiatimes online shopping for Rs. 101.00.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Dear Subramanya, The two mukhi rudraksha which split in two halves must be a flat, kite shaped two mukhi rudraksha. The rudraksha was not fake. Name of the said species producing flat two mukhi rudraksha is Elaeocarpus tuberculatus. It may be interesting to know that the famous crescent shaped or 'Cashew Nut shaped Ek mukhi' is a morphological variation under the same species. Flat two mukhi is a rule with variations of one, three, four and Gauri Shankar (flat Gauri Shankar) are morphological variations observed under this species. It is also interesting to note that flat two mukhi beads are wrongly described as 'Bhadraksha' in the North India, however, cashew-nut shaped beads produced on the same plant is praised as king of Rudraksha i.e. 'Crescent shaped Ek Mukhi'. The best quality two mukhi suggested is Nepal two mukhi, which is also a rare bead and is expensive. The present market cost of Nepal two mukhi is approx. Rs. 10,000/- Thanking you and with best wishes, Chandrashekhar Phadke A V SUBRAMANYA <subbie19 (AT) indiatimes (DOT) com> wrote: Two years back, I had ordered one do mukhi rudraksha from Indiatimes online shopping for Rs. 101.00.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Dear Phadkeji and Panditji, Even the Nepali 2 mukhi looks oval in shape rather than perfect round. Does it mean that a perfect nepal 2 mukhi should be round in shape ? Even the 3 mukhi seems somewhat oval. regards Rishi , chandrashekhar phadake <c_phadake wrote: > > Dear Subramanya, > > The two mukhi rudraksha which split in two halves must be a flat, kite shaped two mukhi rudraksha.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 dear shiv bhakt rishi om namo bhagawate rudraya the nepalese three mukh rudraksha is always 100% round perfectly and if you are talking about any oval three mukh, it is definitely not the nepalese.in fact they look as round and perfect as any other four, five or six mukh rudraksha. the nepalese two mukh rudraksha is small in size and is perfectly round in shape but only the head and tail (the top and bottom portions) look mildy oval. in some two mukh nepalese beads you find perfect 100% round shape. hence you may infer that the nepalese two mukh rudraksha must be round in shape even if it is mildly oval at the top and bottom. in all other himalayan, northeastern and other two mukh oval beads, they look oval all through. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun www.rudraksharemedy.com , hrishi2403 <no_reply wrote: > > Dear Phadkeji and Panditji, > > Even the Nepali 2 mukhi looks oval in shape rather than perfect round.
