Rudraksha Beads: Types, Properties (Power) and Benefits
All the spiritualists such as yogis, saints, sages and sadhakas are seen using Rudraksha beads. These beads are described in India’s most ancient scriptures such as Shiva Purana and other Upanishads. These beads as per those scriptures are for self-empowerment and for leading a fearless life.
Biologically and botanically, Rudraksha is an edible fruit growing on broad-leaved trees called Elaeocarpus. These fruits are kept underwater for a quite long time. The farmers then peel off the pulp and what remains is Rudraksha bead. Best day to wear Rudraksha is on Monday or during Shivratri.
Rudraksha is not just one but many. In other words, there are different types of Rudraksha popularly known by ‘Mukhi’ (face). One Mukhi Rudraksha bead is one-face. Two Mukhi bead has two faces marked by one line. Three Mukhi bead has three faces marked by three lines. These beads commonly vary from One Mukhi to Twenty One Mukhi Rudraksha beads. Each bead has a ruling deity or the god that represents that particular Mukhi.
As said earlier, the beads commonly range from 1 Mukhi to 21 Mukhis, each having its own properties, powers and benefits. It is to be noted that the beads from One Mukhi To Fourteen Mukhis grown more than the rest. The beads from 15 Mukhis to 21 Mukhis are exceptional as they grow and mature less frequently every year. Talking about abundantly available Rudraksha beads, Four, Five and Six Mukhi beads are most common. Scriptures like Shiva Purana, Padma Purana talk about the beads from One Mukhi to Fourteen Mukhi 14. However, beads higher than these (from Fifteen to Twenty One) are mentioned in the Katyayani Purana
