Lord Vishnu, major god of Hinduism and Indian mythology, popularly

regarded as the preserver of the universe. Some Puranic literature

refers to him as the eternal, all-pervading spirit and associates him

with the primeval waters believed to have been omnipresent before the

creation of the world. So regarded, Vishnu is depicted frequently in

human form, sleeping on the great serpent Shesha and floating on the

waters. One hand holds a lotus; a second holds a conch; a third holds a

discus (which always returns by itself after being thrown); and the

fourth carries a mace. The petals of the lotus are believed to

symbolize the unfolding of creation; the conch is said to symbolize

that from which all existence originates; and the discus and the mace

reputedly were obtained by Lord Vishnu as rewards for defeating the God

Indra.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lord Vishnu is said to possess also a special sword called Nadaka and a

special bow called Sarnga. His wife is Goddess Lakshmi (also known as

Shri), goddess of beauty and fortune. He rides a huge creature, half

bird and half man, called Gandara. His home is in a heaven called

Vaikuntha (where the Ganges River is believed to flow from its source

at Vishnu's feet). The god has a thousand names, the repetition of

which is regarded as an act of devotion. The representing deity of 10

mukhi is Lord Narayana (The Preserver). It helps the wearer to overcome

difficult times and ensures that the wearer and the family of the

wearer is protected. It creates a feeling of security. It works like a

shield on one's body and drives evils away. Wearer is protected from

influence of evil spirit , ghosts and black magic. There is no ruling

planet for this bead and it pacifies all negative planetary energy. One

wears this by the blessings of Lord Mahavishnu. Excellent for narayana

bhaktas (devotees). One gets the power to concentrate well. Also aids

in devotion and meditation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpts from Holy Books

Siva Purana Vidyesvara Samhita Translated by Shastri 1973.

Siva said-

4.

O Siva Mahesani be pleased to hear the greatness of Rudraksha. I speak

out of love for you from a desire for the benefit of the devotee of

Siva.

5 - 7

O Mahesani formerly I had been performing penance for thousands of

divine years. Although I had controlled it rigorously my mind was in

flutter. Out of sport, I being self possessed just opened my eyes. O

Goddess, from a desire of helping the worlds, drops of tears fell from

my beautiful half closed eyes. From those tear drops there cropped up

the Rudraksha Plants.

8 They became immobile. In order to bless the devotees they were given to the four varnas devoted to worship of Visnu.

20 O Parmesvari no other necklace or garland is observed in the world to be so auspicious and fruitful as the

Rudraksha.

47

People of all varnas and Asramas even Women and Sudras can wear

Rudraksa at the bidding of Siva. The Ascetics shall wear it with the

Pranava.

62

Even the devotees of Visnu and other Dieties shall unhesitatingly wear

the Rudraksa. Especially the devotee of Rudra shall wear Rudraksha

always.

76

O Mahesani, Rudraksa with ten faces is Lord Janardana Himself. O Devasi

by wearing it the devotee shall achieve the fulfillment of all desires.

86 Seeing a devotee with the garland of Rudraksas O Parvati, Siva, Visnu, devi, Ganapati, the Sun and all the gods are pleased.

Srimaddevibhagavat 11th Skand Chapter

IV, Narayana said-

21 Ten Mukhi Rudraksa is Visnu and removes all the tears and troubles due from planets, evil powers and snakes.

Chapter V,God said-

22

Wearer of Rudraksa on hair tuft on the crown, in ear, in neck, in hand

and in abdomen attains the status of Siva, Visnu and Brahma.

Mantramaharnava, Lord Siva said-

A

Rudraksha with 10 Faces is General of an army and is also Visnu

Himself. It sublimates the malefic effects of planets, evil powers and

eliminates snakes.
