Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hi James, Thanks for your kind message. Glad you enjoyed the article. I'm a devotee of rudraksha and if you like, shall post some related articles from time to time for general interest. Beads of 5 mukhis (faces) are generally used for making japa malas as these are abundant. These come in various sizes too, from peppercorn size (very rare) to 20mm or more.. Higher mukhi (faceted) beads can be rather rare and it is fascinating how they can be used, either worn or worshipped at the altar with mantra. Unfortunately due to the demand for the Holy Seed, fake beads of high mukhi rudraksha are created and floated around the world.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Thank you for responding.Your letters are very informative.You've got me thinking with your last reply. How do I know if my rudraksha are the real deal? You mentioned them having five facets most commonly. Mine seem to each have six sides. I wouldnt have even noticed they had sides if you didnt mention it but ive felt and observed them closely. They deffinately have six facets. They are natural looking enough. I hope this question isnt to petty. I know this sites focus is on Ganapati. I dont want to take away from that. I dont want to meditate on him with fake rudraksha either.
