All About Ek Mukh Rudraksha

[Guest guest]

Dear friends

 

Ek mukh rudraksha is the most sought after and most enquired

rudraksha so much so that any layman who approaches a rudrakshaseller

has his first enquiry on an ek mukh rudraksha.

 

Let us first see as to how many types of ek mukh rudraksha are

available or made available by the rudraksha sellers.

 

Half Moon Shaped or Kaju (Cashewnut) Shaped Ek Mukh Rudraksha

 

This particular bead comes from a tree that belongs to similar

species of rudraksha. But this shape is alien to what is prescribed

in the sacred texts. Since all puranas unanimously mention that a

rudraksha must be round in shape, this crescent shaped bead does not

conform to this basic shape requirement of a rudraksha. However,

since this rudraksha costs only a couple of thousand rupees, it is

the most selling rudraksha, especially by all TV shops.

 

Oval Shaped Ek Mukh Rudraksha

 

Oval shaped three mukh rudraksha are grown abundantly in the

Himalayas in Uttarkhand and few of these beads find only one line in

it. Traders in Haridwar are found to be creating oval ek mukh

rudraksha from an oval three mukh rudraksha. Some oval shaped ek

mukh rudraksha also come from the Indonesian islands. Since the

shastras prescribe a rudraksha which must be round in shape, this

oval shape too found no favour with rudraksha lovers.

 

Round Ek Mukh Rudraksha

 

Round Ek Mukh Rudraksha is available only from Nepal. Here are many

myths surrounding the round ek mukh rudraksha.

 

Myth # 1. Ek mukh rudraksha comes from a separate tree which produces

only one rudraksha bead that too only once a year.

Truth is that there is no separate tree for ek mukh rudraksha and all

rudraksha trees yield or produce hundreds of rudraksha every year.

Any round rudraksha that has only one line naturally developed with

no other lines is a genuine round ek mukh rudraksha.

 

Myth # 2. Ek mukh rudraksha contains symbols of serpent, shivling,

nandi, trident and om on it.

Truth is that all these symbols are artificially crafted by cheaters

who sell on roadside shops at all pilgrim places across India to

gullible devotees. Round ek mukh rudraksha does not contain any of

these symbols at all.

 

Myth # 3. Ek mukh rudraksha if worn by a person becomes a king or in

modern parlance a minister, chief minister, governor or prime

minister.

Truth is that the Nepalese king who used to have several round ek

mukh rudraksha had earlier gifted few of them to the visiting heads

of state and also to few richest and influential people who seek

them. Hence it became visibly worn by the rich and famous. Nowadays

democracy is restored in Nepal and the local farmers who have few

round ek mukh rudraksha beads are making them available to any person

who can afford it.

 

Myth # 4. Ek mukh rudraksha does not exist at all.

Truth is that it is very much available and I have myself made

available few round ek mukh rudraksha to discerning devotees.

 

Myth # 5. Ek mukh rudraksha costs several millions of rupees and is

beyond the dream of a layman.

Truth is that the high price is more of a hype created in the minds

of innocent buyers. Last year I made this available for just three

lakhs rupees. Presently this is available for just five lakhs rupees.

 

Myth # 6. Ek mukh rudraksha if worn by any native gets the best

results.

Truth is that Shivapurana clearly mentions that this round ek mukh

rudraksha needs to be worshipped. Albeit in the previous chapters,

there was a general mention of all rudraksha to be worn, while

narrating each type of rudraksha, lord shiva clearly mentions the

native getting results of ek mukh rudraksha where it is worshipped.

 

Shivapurana, Vidyesvara Samhita, 25th Chapter, 63 and 64 verses:

Ekavaktram Shivah Saakshaat bhaktimuktiphalaprada: Tasya

darshanamatrena brahmahatya vyapohati.

Yatra sampoojitastatra lakshmirdooratara nahi. Nashyanupadrava:

Sarve sarvakama bhavanti hi.

 

Ek Mukh Rudraksha itself is lord shiva. It confers both bhakti and

mukti. Just by seeing it, one gets rid of the sin of brahmahatya.

WHERE IT IS WORSHIPPED, lakshmi (goddess of wealth) dwells there and

never leaves that place. All problems in that area are solved. All

desires of the native are fulfilled.

 

This mail in public groups is intended for awareness and to present

the truth vs myths surrounding this most sought after rudraksha.

 

With best wishes and blessings
