Rudraksha Mala "6 Mukhi" (⌀ 8 mm)

Powerful prayer chain with 108 selected rudraksha seeds with six facets(6 mukhi), strung on a dark brown or dark red cord. Handmade in a traditional workshop in Nepal.

Rudraksha - in Sanskrit "Shiva's tears"(Rudra = Shiva, Aksha = tear) - are the seeds of the Rudraksha tree(Elaeocarpus ganitrus) and are among the most sacred materials in Hindu-Tantric and Buddhist jewelry. The number of natural grooves(mukhi, literally "faces") determines the specific effect of each seed.

The 6 Mukhi Rudraksha is dedicated to Kartikeya, the son of Shiva, and is associated with the earth and the planet Venus. It is considered a seed of willpower, focus and learning - traditionally worn by practitioners who wish to strengthen mental clarity, emotional stability and the ability to concentrate. It is said to activate the Ajna chakra (third eye) and release attachments to worldly distractions.

Each mala is delivered in an individually selected silk brocade bag.

Diameter of the seeds approx. 8 mm · Circumference approx. 72 cm · Made in Nepal
