6 Mukhi Rudraksha Mala 108 Beads for Meditation

6 Mukhi Rudraksha Mala 108 Beads: a rudraksha mala for prayer, made to be counted, worn and used every day.

This mala features 6 mukhi rudraksha. Origin named in the listing: Nepal and Java. It is listed with 108 beads.

Tradition and meaning

In tradition the 6 mukhi is associated with Shukra (Venus) and Lord Kartikeya, and with discipline, willpower and refinement. 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. The listing offers both Nepal and Java options: Nepal beads are traditionally revered for larger size and deeper grooves, while Java beads are smaller and favoured for malas and bracelets. These are traditional and devotional associations, not promises of any result.

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

Keep rudraksha dry and away from soap, perfume and chemicals. Occasional natural oil keeps the surface supple; a soft 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.

Being a seed, each bead differs in size, shade and texture, and the photos show a representative one. For questions about a specific bead, ask before ordering and we will help.
