What the faces of rudraksha mean

Rudraksha is the seed of the Himalayan Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, sacred to followers of Shiva. The seed has natural grooves on its surface — "mukhi", or faces — and rudraksha is classified by their number. In Indian tradition each type is linked to its own deity and meaning, so a bead is chosen deliberately, for a purpose. With its natural hole, the bead is ready to become a pendant, part of a bracelet or the guru bead of your own mala.

The sacred meaning of the six-faced rudraksha (6 mukhi)

The six-faced rudraksha is dedicated to Kartikeya (Skanda, Murugan), son of Shiva and Parvati and six-faced commander of the heavenly army. It symbolises willpower, self-discipline, courage and the ability to focus on a goal. In tradition its six faces are linked to victory over the six inner enemies — anger, lust, greed, pride, attachment and envy. Its planet is Venus, patron of beauty, art and harmony. The six-faced rudraksha is chosen by athletes, leaders, creative people and anyone who needs resilience and composure. The traditional mantra is "Om Hreem Hum Namah".

Why choose this bead:

How to use

String the bead on a cord or red thread and wear it on the neck or wrist, add it to a bracelet, or use it as the guru bead (sumeru) of a handmade mala. It can be placed on an altar before wearing. Keep rudraksha away from soap and chemicals and wipe it now and then with a dry cloth.
