6 Most Beneficial Rudraksha For Women
One of the most pertinent questions that have been asked over multiple years by people is, Can Women Wear Rudraksha? This seems like a very patriarchal question and hence, addressing this becomes an important part of our working duration.
Yes, women can wear Rudraksha beads. We all know that Rudraksha beads are the representation of Lord Shiva’s tears that solidified on Earth when they fell rolling down from his eyes to his cheeks and finally on the floor of Kailash Parvat (The Kailash Mountains) where he was residing and meditating.
The famous story about it is that one time, Lord Shiva was meditating in peace at his place in Kailash Mansarovar Mountains and he witnessed the undue pain and agony the humans and his own people were suffering on Earth. He was very sad about this.
He did not remember when but his eyes started to puff up with tears of pain and agony. He started sobbing and since he was meditating, he did not open his eyes. Since the tears got no space to subside due to this, they rolled down his cheeks.
When the people around Lord Shiva saw these tears falling on Earth and solidifying due to the extreme temperatures of the mountain, they started collecting them. They thought it was some kind of return via meditation and they did not know what was coming next.
When Lord Shiva came out of meditation, everyone told him what had happened.
Stunned, Lord Shiva announced that these were the Aksha (tears) of Rudra (Lord Shiva’s name). So these will be called Rudraksha and anyone who wears them will be free of different issues and problems they are facing.
Thus, Rudraksha beads became the symbolic representation of Lord Shiva’s blessings.
We all know, Lord Shiva has always kept his wife and women's power, Shakti ahead of him in all regards. We also know that Shiva is half as powerful without Shakti and Shakti is non-existent without Shiva.
This means that the Gods never differentiated between Shiva and Shakti. It is we humans, who put in their own brains to divide the power and blessings using gender as a cause.
Lord Shiva has blessed Rudraksha beads in the most efficient manner.
When his subjects at the Kailash mountains asked him why pain occurs and how to handle it? He replied with Rudraksha beads and talked about how they will heal people with their issues.
Since there are more than 100 different types of Rudraksha beads, depending upon Lord Shiva’s tears at that time, people were curious as to which bead will cure what. Then, Lord Shiva connected the different faces of Rudraksha beads with different scenarios and different Gods and Goddesses.
Thus, all types of pains, problems, issues, and others along with all the planets and all the Gods and Goddesses were covered under the categorization of different faces or Mukhs or Mukhis of Rudraksha beads.
Some of these beads or faces got the benefit of being more beneficial for males and some of these got more beneficial advantages for the female gender. There were categorizations done for the third gender as well. All these things are explained very clearly in the Shrimad Devi Bhagavad Purana and Shri Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad of Sama Veda.
This does not mean that the beads are good only for males or are only good for females and the other gender cannot wear them. It only means to say that there are more advantages to someone and less to some others in case-specific matters.
Since we are focussing on the best Rudraksha beads for females, let us see the six best Rudraksha beads for women as per the Hindu Vedic literature as follows:
2 Mukhi Rudraksha
A combination of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti make this Rudraksha bead, 2 Mukhi Rudraksha bead is the bead of Lord Ardhanarishwar. It is the bead of the Moon and anyone under extreme stress, depression, tension, anxiety, panic, or any other kind of mental health issues can wear 2 Mukhi Rudraksha.

But what a lot of people do not know is that Lord Kartikeya is known as Skandaputra, meaning the son of Skand, and Skand is no other than one of the Nav Durgas, Skandamata. So, Lord Kartikeya has learned to live and fight everyone from his mother, Skandamata and thus, he got to represent 6 Mukhi Rudraksha.

As everyone knows, rudraksha has no side effects and no negative effects, anyone can wear any Rudraksha bead. The positive effect mostly depends upon the Rudraksha beads' alignment with the wearer’s birth charts and if they do not, there is no effect then. The effect is never on the negative side.
