Tradition and meaning

In tradition the 20 mukhi is associated with Lord Brahma, and with creation, knowledge and clarity. Rudraksha beads are the dried seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, which grows in the Himalayan foothills and parts of Southeast Asia. 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. Practices differ between families and lineages; follow the guidance you have received.

Care

Keep rudraksha dry and away from 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.

Rudraksha is a natural seed, so size, shade and surface texture vary from bead to bead and the photos are a representative example. If you would like extra photos of a specific bead, or want to check mukhi lines before you order, message us.
