Tradition and meaning

In tradition the 19 mukhi is associated with Lord Narayana, and with devotion and protection symbolism. The name comes from Rudra (Shiva) and aksha (eye); in Shaiva tradition the beads are sacred to Lord Shiva and worn for prayer and japa. A mukhi is one of the natural lines that run from the top to the bottom of the bead; a 5 mukhi bead has five, a 6 mukhi has six, and so on. Java (Indonesian) beads are smaller and are traditionally favoured for malas, bracelets and everyday jewellery. These are traditional and devotional associations, not promises of any result.

How it is worn

Traditionally a bead is strung on a red or black thread, or set in silver or gold, and worn close to the body. Customs vary by family and lineage, so follow the guidance of your guru or family tradition.

Care

Keep rudraksha dry and away from soap, perfume and chemicals. A drop of natural oil now and then keeps the surface supple, and a soft cloth pouch protects it between wears.

Gifting

Rudraksha is a respectful gift for birthdays, festivals such as Maha Shivratri, and new beginnings, especially for someone with a prayer or japa routine.

Rudraksha is a natural seed, so size, shade and surface texture vary from bead to bead and the photos are a representative example. For questions about a specific bead, ask before ordering and we will help.
