Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dear Narasimhaye & Friends, Namaste, Today while browsing on the net I found this picture of One Mukhi Round Rudraksha on the Rediff website (under priceless wonders- follow the link below). I don't know if it is fake or true but just thought of sharing it here with everyone. Aum Namah Shivaya http://specials.rediff.com/money/2007/aug/24dia5.htm Mukhi Rudraksha August 24, 2007 The word Rudraksha finds its origin in Hindu scriptures. In Sanskrit Rudraksham means Rudraksha fruit as well as Rudraksha tree. Rudraksha tree grows on mountains and hilly regions of Nepal, Indonesia, Java, Sumatra and Burma. The Rudraksha fruit first became the ornament of human adornment primarily because of its spiritual value. As per details found in the Purana there are fourteen kinds of Rudraksha, which are called Mukhi or faceted Rudraksha. Mukhi or faces of Rudraksha are deep lines found on the surface of the Rudraksha from bottom to the top hole. The number of these lines decides the type or Mukhi Rudraksha. For example, if a Rudraksha has three such lines it is called 3 Mukhi or 3 faced Rudraksha. This (above) is a rare and unique one 'Mukhi Rudraksha' surrounded by some 108 diamonds. It is priced at a whopping Rs 30,000,00 ($71,400). According to the scriptures Rudraksha has evolved from the eyes of Lord Shiva hence, it's called Rudraksha. Rudra means Shiva and Aksha means eyes.
