Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Dear Richard & All, As you may remember, the quote given here by Pandit Arjun from Shri Kamal Seetha Narayan is taken from a mail correspondence I had with him, which is found copmplete in message Message #2461 in the group archives. The message reads complete as copied below, I think all should read that opinion in its fullness. With this in mind, I would like to ask you Richard, the One Mukhi which Kali Baba in Nepal had given you for setting in gold, was this round or oval? ---THAT WAS ROUND Thanks, Ole " Dear Ole Alstrup, Om Namah Shivaya, I am pleased to have received your mail and my reply is as under: It has been the contention of many that any rudraksha in which there is only one line existing from the time it is plucked from the tree ,without any tampering or disfiguring later may be accepted as one mukhi rudraksha.such rudraksha is also very rare and all fakes are tampered only later by removing other lines and leaving only one line which most people can make out or understand. There is a practice which gets succeeded in Nepal in which steel clamps are fastened over the shell of a 2 mukhi rudraksha and by force the growth of second line is retarded.If they really succeed the seed is classified as one mukhi. As I have mentioned in my book,if the lines originating from the mouth portion do not get completed in a natural process and only one line exists in its original shape,the bead may be accepted as one mukhi,although such cases are also extremely rare.It is immaterial if the shape has a five or four mukhi locule or it was meant to be two mukhi or three mukhi. The bead shown as one mukhi in my book is shapewise a 4 mukhi rudraksha but there is only one line which existed naturally and this rudraksha has never been tampered.This rudraksha is ours . If we try to put in yet another way,take an example of say 10 mukhi rudraksha.How do we count the lines.We ignore the splitting at the mouth and we are only concerened with the completed lines.Even if there are 12 lines but 2 of them are incomplete the rudraksha will be treated as 10 mukhi only.Just one must ensure that there is no forceful man made change after the bead gets formed and plucked from the tree. If we can imagine and formate the pojected shape of one mukhi from botanical view point,its shape should be similar to a two mukhi rudraksha,or like an eye(you may call it ellyptical).(Not the halfmoon shape,in any way) The so called original one mukhi from Nepal in round variety is a mystery and any rudraksha which is absolutely round or even nearly round can not be one mukhi as per the distinct natural shape the beads adopt from 5 mukhi and lower.Pl see the shapes once again as how the nature changes its shape with respect to mukhi(facets). In this regard the one mukhi from Indonesia is genuine and is available.This can be certified as one mukhi due to its internal structure also. Regarding the blessings and chanting of Mantras for rudraksha please note that all old epics suggest us to do this.There are specific seed mantras for different mukhis which are meant for chanting while wearing. Although due to its miraculous and higher level of energies and self manifestation,some epics also say in their way of great reverence to the beads that even if you do not worship and wear these beads without getting them blessed the beads will be effective.However,by and large this purification and blessing is necessary as per most epics and saints and sages.In India most people even while buying .In any way all mukhi beads are rules over by different gods and they have got to be pleased to derive benefits through them. In India most people take out their shoes while buying rudraksha and it is a symbol of piousness and purity which is an established practice and it is good for the health of the bead.
