Rudraksha Mala Rudraksha, 16.5 mm
Who grew this bead
Listed by Shiva, in the Arun and Tamur valleys of eastern Nepal. They picked it, photographed it and set its price. We check the bead in Kathmandu, answer your questions, take the payment and ship it — and the farmer is paid directly, rather than through the middleman who would otherwise take most of it.
What the 5 Mukhi means in tradition
Kalagni Rudra — Shiva as the fire of time
The five-faced Rudraksha is the universal bead — the overwhelming majority of all Rudraksha that grow, and the form the tradition declares safe and beneficial for every human being without exception of age, gender, or station. Nearly every classical 108-bead japa mala is strung from it.
Its presiding form is Kalagni Rudra and its planet Jupiter, the guru among the grahas. The texts associate it with general wellbeing, calm, and the steadying of the mind for daily practice. If a person is to own one Rudraksha in their life, the tradition answers: this one.
Traditional associations as the texts and living practice hand them down — not medical claims, and not promised outcomes.
Listed by the grower. Mukhi count, size and weight are as they recorded them — we check every bead in Kathmandu before it ships, and will tell you plainly if anything differs.
