4. Rudraksha are very much useful in controlling Mental illnesses. Some studies are suggesting the Magnetic effects of Rudraksha as a reason for this.
Can we prove the Spiritual effects of Rudraksha with the tests?
Personally, I believe that this may not be possible. Science has not yet reached God! But, Sacred books clearly described the effects of various Rudraksha beads. Sayings of Vedas and Upanishads are never false.
Rudraksha Physical Properties:
Specific gravity for Rudraksha is above 1.05. This rises up to 1.70 depending upon the dryness of Rudraksha and also type of Rudraksha bead. If the moisture content is more, the Rudraksha may also float on water.
PH value for Rudraksha is above 4.82. Rudraksha is basically acidic. But, the acidity is also dependent on many factors. Nuts from Unripe fruits are more acidic.
Rudrakshas have Powerful Electro-magnetic and Para-magnetic inductive properties. Each variety of Rudraksha beads show different effects. These effects are used for positive results in Neuro-physiology and Psychiatry.
Rudraksha Bio-Chemical properties:
Chemical analysis reports suggest the presence of Citric acid, Vitamin C and Rudraksha oil with Multiple alkaloids. Pharmacological effects of Rudraksha indicate more than one active Principle element in it. Rudraksha extract has Anti Viral, Anti Bacterial, Anti Protozoal, Anti Fungal, Anti Helminthic properties.
Rudraksha oil:
It is a Pale yellow colored liquid with a Refractive index of 1.46. Specific gravity of Rudraksha oil is around 0.93. Fatty acid analysis tells presence of Iso palmitic oil, Iso stearic oil and traces of many other oils.
Rudraksha water:
If Rudraksha is placed in water for some time, it's temperature will rise slightly. Water becomes acidic and it's Electrical conductivity increases up to 24 Hrs. Rudraksha water improves health.
Shiva Rudraksha : Rudraksha Meaning & it's Secrets
Origin of Rudraksha is linked with the Story of Tripurasura Samhara. It has many Secrets which tell us about the Meaning and Benefits of Rudraksha. Let us concentrate on those topics.
Story of Rudraksha:
Tripurasuras are three Demons who have Innumerable Powers. They live in three Purams which are built in the sky and revolve in space (Can be compared to very big Flying saucers). The Purams are protected by a boon from Lord Ganesh and nobody can harm them, unless they come into a single axis. That moment comes only once in every Thousand years.
Prayed by all gods Lord Shiva decided to kill those Demons. He did a big Tapasya with half-closed eyes. (Ardha Nimeelita neetra). He opened his eyes, concentrated on the axis and burnt Tripurams. Due to the stress caused by Tapasya, tears came out his eyes while opening them. They turned into Rudrakshas.
Meaning of Rudraksha:
Rudra + Aksha = Rudraksha. It is well known.
What does "Rudra" mean? Rudra is Lord Shiva in his most fierce form.
The most important word is "Aksha", which tells us many details about Rudraksha. Aksha means "Eye". It resembles the Third eye of Lord Shiva, Fire, which protects us from Passion and Death. Aksha means "Borne out of eye". The tears, which came after 1000 years Tapasya done by Lord Shiva. Rudraksha relieves stress and greatly helps in reaching desired goal. Aksha means "Axis". The concentration of Shiva in the war. Everybody needs concentration. Aksha means "View to chase the target": A Clear Vision to reach goal.
Another important meaning of Aksha is "Joining axis of Tripurams". This gives a purely Philosophical meaning. Tripurasuras resemble Trigunas (Tamas, Rajas and Satwa). They live in Tripurams (Sthula, Sukshma and Karana Sareerams) One can attain Salvation only after winning these three. We can't win them one by one. They merge at a single point called "Deha bhranti" (Feeling of one-self as a separate identity) . We have to target it and win them at once.
O.k. We went very deep into Philosophy. One thing finally, Rudraksha is not just a Nut. It is a resemblance of Lord Shiva. Wearing Rudraksha is attaining Shivatwa. Benefits will automatically follow.
Ek Mukhi Rudraksha Mala : One Mukhi Mala
How Ek mukhi Rudraksha mala is created? Is it made up of all Ek mukhi Rudrakshas or One Ek muki joined with a set of Panch mukhi Rudrakshas? What is the use of it? Let us know about the Most precious Mala.
Ek Mukhi Rudraksha Mala:
Yes. There are many styles in making a Mala with Ek mukhi Rudraksh. But, all are Specific. Each Mala has it's own benefits. And used in different conditions.
Normal One Mukhi Rudraksh Mala:
Here, One Ek mukhi is placed at the center of a Panch mukhi Rudraksh Mala. White cotton thread is the best one to prepare this Mala. Next preference goes to Silver. We can also use Gold or Silk threads. It burns all Sins. It gives Success every where. It is mainly used as a Japamala. After Chanting, it is kept at Shivaling.
One Mukhi Rudraksh Raksha Mala:
It is prepared with 27 Best quality Panch mukhi Rudraksh and One Ek mukhi Rudraksh. Silver thread is used. Ek mukhi is joined by using Naga bandham (Silver thread in the form of a Snake). It protects life. It protects from accidents (Akala Mrityu haram). It should be used only for Chanting.
It is called Gauri shankara hasta Mala. Here only three Rudraksha are used. It gives enormous energy. It is useful for success in Competitions and Elections.
Eka mukhi Deva jyothi Raksha kavach:
It is actually not a Mala. One Gauri Shankar Rudraksh and One Ek muki Rudraksh are placed one by one and joined by Silver thread. It is tied to the wrist while Chanting Shiva kavach, Mrityunjaya kavach and Rudraksha kavach. It protects Family from evil powers. Lord Shiva and Parvathi blesses them.
All Ek mukhi Rudraksha Mala!
Is it possible?!
Why not? Ek mukhi are rare. I accept. But, not extremely rare. Big merchants can make this Ek mukhi Mala possible.
How much it costs?
O.k. The Cost may be in Lakhs of Rupees (Thousands of Dollars).
Is it allowed to wear on the body?
NEVER. It is not allowed.
Will it give Super-natural Powers?
Don't go crazy. Results come from Lord Shiva. Ek mukhi will help a lot in worshiping Shiva.
Ek mukhi with Diamonds:
Ek mukhi Rudraksha is very Precious. It will be generally placed in a Golden Mala. Some times Ornaments are created by keeping it at the center. Jewels are also embedded in those Ornaments. Puranas and Tantras have no objection for this.
One Mukhi Round Rudraksha / Gol Ekmukhi dana : Stories & Myths
Round One mukhi Rudraksha is associated with many Myths and Legends. They show the interest of people in Round One mukhi. Let us have a look on them.
Most famous Legend on Round One face Rudraksha:
Discussion:
I think It is just a Legend. Nobody is reporting his Luck of getting Round Ek mukhi Rudraksha. Even if the person (Unlucky guy) sells it that will become a News. The story might have occurred previously. Many great Tantrics worshiped Pashupatinath and his Shakti Guhya Kali.
One mukhi Rudraksha tree in Srisailam forest:
A One mukhi Rudraksha tree is present in the deep
Discussion:
Presence of Round One mukhi Rudraksha tree in Srisailam is described in some Sacred books. But, according to them entire Nallamala forest is Srisailam. Second thing is Srisailam is a Mysterious land. Sacred books tell many Legends regarding Srisailam. We can find proofs to none of them. Again, How long will the tree live? Why nobody is reporting?
Gol Ek mukhi dana will glow: There are some Round Ek mukhi dana, which came in to the News. They are not glowing. This may be a hidden feature. Great Tantrics who can utilize it in total may know the Truth.
Gol Ek mukhi will ride upstream, if placed in the flow of fresh cow milk: No Rudraksha testing expert is telling about this. This may also be a hidden feature.
Gol dana have Super-natural Powers:
Yes. Clearly told by Tantras. Tantras told that Gol dana will give the Power to Rule entire Universe (Srishti Sthiti Samhara Samarthya) if worshiped properly. But, be careful. For normal people Tantric worships are not allowed. They require high Sacredness. Devotion on Rudraksha itself will make lives joyous. Round One Muki is the King of all Rudrakshas.

Round Ek Mukhi Rudraksha : Gol Ek Mukhi
Round Ek mukhi Rudraksha is the Most debated topic in the field of Rudrakshas. Is it a Fact or Myth? If it is a Fact, what about the Super-natural Powers? Let us discuss.
Round Ek mukhi is present!
Specialities of Round Ek mukhi:
Always Round Rudraksha is Powerful than Oval or Flattened Rudraksha. It is clearly told by Puranas and Tantras. But, the Majestic thing in Round Ek mukhi is overcoming natural hindrances. Round Ek Mukhi Rudraksha makes the person equal to Lord Shiva. It transmits Abundant Power. Salvation (Mukti) is in his hands!
Signs on Gol Ek mukhi Rudraksha:
Some people tell that Gol Ek mukhi will have signs of Shivling, Serpent, Trishul and holy Aum formed by it's groves. But, it is not compulsory. One or all the symbols may be present. Nobody knows in-detail about this topic. You can guess the reason. Nobody seen many Round Ek mukhi in his life-span. Tantras are also silent on this topic! May Lord Shiva knows the Truth.
Super-natural Powers of Round Ek mukhi Rudraksha:
This is also a question of debate. But, One thing we must remember. Only Great Sadhus and Tantrics can bear it. Only they know how to utilize it. The Super-natural Powers require Sacredness. Otherwise they will lead to the down-fall of the person.
What to do if Round Ek mukhi (Real) is available?
You are the Luckiest person in the world. Capture it any how. Worship it as Lord Shiva. Don't use it for the worldly things. Be cautious. Of course! you can pray it for your healthy desires. But, that is not at all required. It fulfills all of them without asking. You need not know the Tantric secrets. It keeps you high in the life. Gives success everywhere.
Ek mukhi Rudraksha : One face Rudraksh
Ek mukhi Rudraksha is the resemblance of Lord Shiva. It is Diamond in Rudrakshas. It makes us Kings. But, What makes it so Powerful? Is it allowed to wear on body? How to get benefits from Ek mukhi Rudraksha? Let us discuss about Ek mukhi.
What is Ekmukhi Rudraksha?
Ek mukhi (Eka mukhi / One Mukhi Rudraksha) is a Wonder of Nature. Normally Rudraksha beads will have 5 lines (Mukhi) on them. They resemble 5 compartments of Rudraksha nut. Each compartment contains a seed in it. But, Ek mukhi will have only one seed!
What is the shape of Ekmukhi?
Roundness increases the Power. But, Ek mukhi is always Ek mukhi.
Why One Face Rudraksha is so Powerful?
Nobody knows! But we can prove the superiority of One Face Rudraksha with a Rudraksha test. Milk will not spoil for 5 days if Ek mukhi is placed in it. The reason may be in the Astral body of this Rudraksha.
Is Eka mukhi allowed to wear on body?
This is an important question. Yes. Allowed! But, remember Ek mukhi Rudraksha is directly Lord Shiva himself (Sakshat Shiva swarupa). We have to behave as if we are in the Paradise of Shiva (Kailasa). No exceptions.
Like all Rudraksha Ek mukhi is also not allowed to wear while taking Alcohol, While participating in sex, and in Menstrual period. Keep it beside while taking bath to protect from water.
Children bellow 12 years can't bear the Power of Ek mukhi. For normal people, it is better to worship Ek mukhi Rudraksha rather than wearing it on the body.
How to get benefits from Eka mukhi Rudraksha?
This is a very big question. Ek mukhi Rudrksha passes the Power of Lord Shiva to the person wearing it. It burns all the Sins made by the person (Brahma hatya dosha haram). It protects him from accidents (Akala Mrityu haram). It gives a sudden rise in the career (Akasmat Dhana prapti dayakam). The person rules the world (Shiva Shakti pradayakam). If he wishes he will attain Mukti (Shiva Sayujya pradayakam).
Basic Mantra to use Ek mukhi is - "(Aum) NamasShivaya".
Only this much? Don't worry. I'm also interested in Ek mukhi Rudraksha like you. I will write at least 20 articles just on Ekmukhi. I will explain every detail I know. Please wait.
"This article is dedicated to Lord Shiva who is the Lord of Rudrakshas"

Best Rudraksha : All Rudraksh are not Equal
The Best Rudraksha is always Ek mukhi. It's O.k. What about the quality differences? How to choose a Best Rudraksha from the same category? It is a must know info before purchasing a Rudraksha. Luckily, Puranas clearly told the characters of Best Rudraksha.
Guidelines to find out Best Rudraksha:
Big Rudraksha are superior to small Rudraksha.
Big Rudraksha:
It will be in the size of an Amla fruit (Dhatri phala) with a radius above 2 c.m. It gives both Materialistic and Spiritual wealth (Bhoga Moksha prada). It protects from Dangers.
Medium sized Rudraksha:
It will be in the size of Zizyphus fruit (Badari phala) with a radius between 1 to 2 c.m. It gives medium results.
Small Rudraksha:
It will be in the size of Chick pea (Chana) with a radius below 1 c.m. It gives Materialistic wealth.
Tantras suggest Big Rudraksh for wearing on the body and Small Rudraksh for making a Japa mala to chant Mantras.
There are some Rudrakshas with a radius of 4 c.m! They are very very rare. And they are not meant for normal people. Great Spiritual leaders use them for the benefits of the world. Never mistake a Fake Rudraksha with them.
Strong Rudraksha are superior to Weak Rudraksha. Brittle Rudraksha are from Unripe fruits. They will lose groves in few years. They are not good.
Even Rudraksha are superior to Uneven Rudraksha. A beautiful Rudraksha is always supported. It should be Round. It should have clear groves and lines. Don't use Malformed Rudraksha. It results in Poverty. Few groves represent low Energy.
Beads from Rudraksha fruits which dry up on the tree itself are Best. Rudraksha fruits will grasp Solar power and Cosmic energy as they ripen. They gain Magnetic field as they dry up. Rudraksha beads from Unripe fruits and Ripen fruits which fell on the ground are of lower quality.
A Rudraksha bead which has a Natural central hole is of Supreme quality. But, they are only 0.01%. We have to make hole for the remaining.
Rudraksha beads which should not be used:
Uneven shaped Rudraksha and Rudraksha spoiled by Insects and fungi should never be used. They will have Negative energy and bring Misfortune.
Finally, Nepal Rudraksha (From Himalayas) is considered Best. It is based on the Origin.
Genuine Rudraksha - Fake Rudraksha
What is a Genuine Rudraksha? How to identify Fake Rudrakshas? Let us discuss in detail about this topic.
Why Fake Rudrakshas are created?
Nobody will create Fake Panch mukhi Rudraksha. Because, they are available ample in the Nature. But, Ek mukhi Rudraksha, Gauri shankar Rudraksha, Trijuti Rudraksha, and some Rare Rudrakshas are limited. They are not available up to the demand. This lead to creation of Fake Rudrakshas.
What is a Genuine Rudraksha?
Availablity of Ek mukhi Rudraksha is very limited. Best Ek mukhi is Round shaped with a single line on it. It is not at all available commercially. But, business people sell half-moon shaped Ek mukhi. This is also Ek mukhi Rudraksha.
How Fake Ekmukhi Rudraksha is created?
By removing a line on Two mukhi Rudraksha with fine instruments.
By using glue to cover the lines of Two mukhi or Three mukhi.
By printing Shivling, Serpent, and Aum on Bhadraksha.
By using Zizyphus (Badari) seeds.
By using and Dalbergia (Simshupa) and Chestnut wood.
By using Lac or some Synthetic material to create it artificially!
How to identify Fake Ekmukhi?
Use the tests explained in Original Rudraksha page to find out whether it is a Rudraksha or not. Closely observe for alterations. Boil the Rudraksha in water. It removes the glue if applied. Soaking in liquid Nitrous oxide is useful to remove more sophisticated glues. The best way is to take an x-ray photograph and count the compartments.
Genuine Rudraksha - Fake Rudraksha:
Gauri shankar Rudraksha :
Two Rudrakshas are joined artificially to create it. Normally Gauri shankar is made up of two Panch mukhi Rudrakshas. If you see a different variety, be careful.
Trijuti Rudraksha:
We can't find many Trijuti Rudrakshas in the Nature. These are also generally formed out of Panch mukhis. Don't believe Trijuti made up of three Ek mukhis!
There are 14 mukhi Rudrakshas created from 12 mukhis. X-ray test is the only solution to be 100% sure. Rare Rudrakshas above 14 faces are also present. But, purchase only from Genuine persons.
Original Rudraksha : How to test Rudraksha
Rudraksha borne out of tears of Lord Shiva. It is divine. It is holy. Original Rudraksha gives us enormous fortune by the grace of Shiva. But how to find it?
Rudraksha test:
Many people think that we can find Real Rudraksha by a single test. That is only half-true. Sadhus identify Original Rudraksha by a collection of tests. The tests are simple. Now I'm going to illustrate them.
Appearance of Rudraksha:
O.k. Let us concentrate on important tests to identify Real Rudraksha.
Magnetic field test:
Original Rudraksha will have a magnetic field around it. This character can be used to find out a Real one. Place Rudraksha between two copper coins. Rudraksha rotates iself.
Precautions:
Place Rudraksha on the coin vertically with it's poles facing up and down. Bring the second copper coin slowly, so that you can see the movement.
Results:
Rudraksha must rotate in circumambulation. There will be some Rudrakshas which rotate reverse. But never take them. They are also Rudrakshas but will have Negative energy.
Density test:
Real Rudraksha will sink in water or milk. Rudraksha beads from unripe fruits will also float on water. But they are useless.
Thermometer test:
It is a simple test which explains an important property of Rudraksha. Place Rudraksha in a glass with small amount of water (just enough to cover Rudraksha). Record temperature by using a Thermometer. Record the temperature after 30 minutes. You can observe 1 or 2 degrees centigrade rise of temperature.
Milk test:
It is a time consuming test. But, it shows the superiority of Ek mukhi Rudraksha over all remaining Rudrakshas. Place Rudraksha in a glass of fresh milk. See after 2 days. The milk will not spoil. Some quality Rudrakshas can protect milk for even 3 days. Ek mukhi Rudraksha will work for 5 to 7 days. Really!
Tantrics and Yogis can identify the Power of Rudrakshas by keeping Rudraksha in their fist and observing pulse (Nadi spandana) . That is impossible for normal persons. But, we can use above tests to find out Original Rudraksha.
