Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Can any of the knowledgeable readers identify this multifaceted Rudraksha seed from Hawaii (posted in Photo album Rudraksha Offerings)? I nicknamed it Shankh Mukhi because it is spiraled like a Laxmi conch, but shankh is not an emblem of Lord Shiva. I have another specimen spiraling the other way, but it is not as well defined. I have not seen this type described anywhere. Ronald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks for your interest tpmods. Just look in the pink menu on the left of sacred-objests page under Photos, then in the Rudraksha Offerings album. I took the photo and found the seed. That is a problem with this site because in the Post Message page there is no way to include a photo in the message, you have to refer to the Photo albums. sacred-objects , " tpmods " <tpmods wrote: > > May We have a snap shot of it OR a link for where it is uploaded?Thank > you Ronald. > sacred-objects , " rnldef " <rnldef@> wrote: > > > > Can any of the knowledgeable readers identify this multifaceted > > Rudraksha seed from Hawaii (posted in Photo album Rudraksha > > Offerings)?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Could be a malformed Three or Four mukhi bead that turned out conch shape. Would be good bead for the mantra Om Hari Hara. The mouth part looks over-stripped (some parts chipped off) from the peeling-off process. Would you have a photo of the tail ? sacred-objects , " rnldef " <rnldef wrote: > > Can any of the knowledgeable readers identify this multifaceted > Rudraksha seed from Hawaii (posted in Photo album Rudraksha > Offerings)?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Namaskar kerryhermes. This has 8 complete mukhis with 3 or 4 more lines inside the whorl. I just posted the mouth or stem side pic, what you saw is the tail side. There is no chipping or breakage, I know because I cleaned and ate the fresh fruit. It is definitely spiraled, also all multifaceted beads could be considered mutations or malformations.
