2 Mukhi Rudraksh Mala for Spiritual Harmony

For a steady mantra practice: this 2 mukhi rudraksha mala has the familiar weight and rhythm of rudraksha beads.

This mala features 2 mukhi rudraksha.

Tradition and meaning

In tradition the 2 mukhi is associated with Chandra (Moon) and Ardhanarishvara (Shiva-Shakti), and with harmony, partnership and emotional balance in tradition. 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. These are traditional and devotional associations, not promises of any result.

• Form: mala
• Mukhi (natural lines): 2

How to use it

Use it for japa by counting each repetition on one bead, turning the beads with the thumb and middle finger and stopping at the larger guru bead. Many devotees keep one mala only for japa and a separate one for wearing.

Care

Protect rudraksha from moisture, soap, perfume and chemicals. Use a little natural oil now and then, and keep it in a soft pouch 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.

Size, shade and texture differ from bead to bead because rudraksha is a natural seed. If you would like extra photos of a specific bead, or want to check mukhi lines before you order, message us.
