Rudraksha Seed Talisman
Srimad Devi Bhagavat 11th Canto, Chap. III. Lord Vishnu said, “A man wearing fourteen mukhi Rudraksa becomes highly auspicious, like Lord Shiva. Anyone who wears even one Rudraksha seed is always admired like saintly men and deities and can even attain liberation.” Srimad Devi Bhagavat 11th Canto, Chapter V verse 25 to 26 it is stated, “The desire for wearing Rudraksha is the result of attaining the perfection of knowledge and Blessings of God during previous births.” Padma Puranam, Chapter 57, Sri Bhagavan said, “If a man always wears a Rudraksa with fourteen mouths, permeated with God’s auspicious power, he is always honored and blessed by the demigods due to the greatness of his religious merit.”
Rudraksha is a talisman ruled by Rudra, Lord Shiva of the Hindu Trinity, and His Divine Shakti (power); and the blessings bestowed on Rudraksha wearers are directly the blessings of Shiva and Shakti. Also, much research over ages has shown that certain number of Rudraksha seeds are also influential on particular astrological planets, such as one face Rudraksha influences Sun, and two face Rudraksha influences Moon. And following this same logic it could also be said that Rudraksha most probably relate to planets according to their number of faces. So there are basically two planetary considerations when using Rudraksha, viz., the colloquial and the numerical. We give both considerations below for your interest. NOTE: Anyone, man or women, who is lucky enough to get a Rudraksha is qualified to wear it, and no one else. Om Tat Sat!!!
Known Effects of Different Rudraksha
