10 Mukhi Rudraksha
10 Mukhi Rudraksha is the bead with 10 Mukhs (clefts/ cuts) on its face. It is the tenth bead and one of the most worshipped and desired beads by the people who are true worshippers of the Vaishnav community. As per Hindu mythology, there are some community divisions based upon the people who consider their Gods to be the ultimate supreme and the other Gods who are the blessings of this supreme God. Majorly, there are Shaivas and Vaishnavas. Shaivas are those who treat Lord Shiva as the supreme God in the universe. Vaishnavas are those who treat Lord Vishnu and his incarnations as the supreme God and they follow everything as per the Vaishnava Hindu calendar. The 10 Mukhi Rudraksha bead is the major focal point for these Vaishnava clan people who worship Lord Vishnu and believe in the existence of Lord Vishnu in this Rudraksha bead.
Story of 10 Mukhi Rudraksha
10 Mukhi Rudraksha is the bead that was created from the tenth teardrop of Lord Shiva. There is a scenario described in the Vishnu Purana where Lord Shiva was meditating on Kailash Parvat and he was really upset with the way the humans on Earth were in pain due to a lot of miseries and issues.
These people needed some kind of help and Lord Shiva was in meditation so he could not wake up and go to help these people. Also, he knew his term on Earth was over and there was no way he could be present forever on earth to heal the miseries of everyone. So he cried over this realization.
There were teardrops that spread on the Kailash mountain and they solidified to make the seeds of Rudraksha trees. These were called Rudraksha because they were the tears of Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva is also called Rudra. Tears in Sanskrit are called Aksha. Thus, the teardrops were named Rudraksha.
When Lord Shiva opened his eyes after he completed his meditation, he informed his disciples, who were looking at him in awe and demanding an answer about the benefits of these Rudraksha seeds and how they can be planted to grow more such seeds.
Sam Veda talks about how when Bhusunda Muni asked Lord Kalagni Rudra about Rudraksha, he explained all he knew about them.
Lord Shiva divided each bead to each respective God for each kind of pain or issue mankind could face and would need help for. The bead 10 Mukhi Rudraksha was assigned to Lord Vishnu and his incarnations because Lord Vishnu had taken 10 incarnations while his time on Earth to help his disciples.
This is how 10 Mukhi Rudraksha was named the Rudraksha bead of Lord Vishnu and thus, it is worshipped and worn majorly by the Vaishnava community people.
Shape of 10 Mukhi Rudraksha
There is a huge question about the appearance of 10 Mukhi Rudraksha and how to identify it. The best method to identify 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is the physical shape of the bead. When the bead of 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is held in hands, the bead needs to have 10 Mukhs/ cuts/ clefts on its face. These ten cuts should start from one side of the bead (top of the bead) and should follow all the way to the other side of the bead (bottom of the bead). Any line that seems merged in the middle, or absent from the middle, or that can not be traced from end to end because they start from somewhere, ends somewhere else, or merge in between is not counted.
After making a perfect count of 10 faces from top to bottom, now see if the bead has a hole from the middle of the bead and goes straight all the way to the joint of the 10 lines till the bottom of the bead. This hole area should be straight through and not crooked at all. This hold can be empty or filled with some soft, dried fiber stems, but it is not perfectly solid.
If the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha bead is of Indonesian origin bead, the bead size will be small and the cuts will not be very clear. Take the bead into light and then try to count the cuts on the bead. Also, see if the bead is light brown in color and a little lightweight as well.
If the 10 Mukhi Rudraksha bead is Nepali, it will be a little heavier and darker in color than the Indonesian Rudraksha bead. Also, the cuts will be very clear on the Nepali Rudraksha bead and will be easier to count through.
