What is Ek Mukhi Rudraksha?
The One-Faced Rudraksha Bead, also referred to as Ek Mukhi Rudraksha, One Face Rudraksham, and single mukhi Rudraksha, is considered the heaven of all Rudraksha Beads. One Mukhi Rudraksha is said to be the door to Salvation (Moksha). The 1 Mukhi Rudraksha is directly under the influence of Lord Shiva. This is a highly powerful bead and thus, is desired abundantly.
Story of Ek Mukhi Rudraksha
According to Shiv Mahapurana, when Lord Shiva cried while expressing his sorrows toward world pain and agony, the first teardrops that rolled down his cheeks became the Ek Mukhi Rudraksha. Therefore, this bead covers the maximum influence of Lord Shiva in totality. It is believed that Lord Shiva resides inside the beads of Ek Mukhi Rudraksha and the person who wears this is never devoid of anything that they desire in their lives.
The Shape of Ek Mukhi Rudraksha
The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha is in the shape of a half-moon and it looks like a serrated cashew nut. It is slightly oval in shape and it looks like the third eye of Lord Shiva from its convex side if kept vertically. This shape is due to a seed inside the Rudraksha bead that makes the essence of the entire bead. The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha does not have any cuts on its face because it is single-faced. Also, it is not subject to any cracks and holes, except, there are two holes at the two sides, for the thread to enter.
Size of Ek Mukhi Rudraksha
The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha beads are of two natures: Indonesian and Nepali. The Indonesian beads are a bit smaller and light-toned. The Nepali Rudraksha beads are bigger in size. They are also dark brownish in color. Though, these specifications do not affect the quality or purpose the bead serves. Also, Nepali beads are difficult to find in their original format.
