What are the different types of Twelve Mukhi Rudraksha available?
Nepali 12 Mukhi Rudraksha
You will find two kinds of 12 Mukhi in the market i.e Nepali and Indonesian. First is this Nepali 12 Mukhi Rudraksha. Nepali beads are the most effective and they have broad mukhs and a natural hole in the center through which the bead is connected to its tree. Fake beads and Bhadraksha don’t have any hole in the center, you have to manually drill a hole in them.
You will find 12 Mukhi for Rs.1,500 – Rs.2,000 on many websites. At this price you will either get a fake hand crafted bead or an Indonesian bead and that too in silver plated “metal” pendant i.e that pendant won’t be in genuine silver and lab certificate won’t be genuine either. I see online that there are many sellers who are using pics of Nepali bead but in reality, they will send you an Indonesian bead only. Sellers who are providing you 12 Mukhi for Rs.1,500 – Rs.2,000, their silver is fake, certificate is fake and the bead itself is either fake or Indonesian that isn’t even effective. What’s the point in wearing a bead that isn’t even effective? Nepali 12 Mukhi comes in small to large size. At Rudra Gems you can get 20mm – 30mm size 12 Mukhi at the lowest price in the market. All our Rudraksha are made in Genuine Silver Pendant and will come with an Independent Lab Certificate.
Indonesian 12 Mukhi Rudraksha
This is the Indonesian 12 Mukhi Rudraksha. Its the smallest in size and lightest in weight. The Mukhs in them are like tiny lines and these are not at all effective when compared to the Nepali beads. These have pretty low amounts of energy and that is why we never recommend you to wear a single bead, Indonesian 12 Mukhi should always be worn if Nepali bead of that Mukh is not available or you can wear it as a substitute if Nepali bead is going out of your budget but the preference should always be given to Nepali Beads.
BUY ONLY IF NEPALI 12 MUKHI RUDRAKSHA IS OUT OF YOUR BUDGET
CAN BE USED AS AN SUBSTITUTE BUT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS EFFECTIVE AS NEPALI BEADS
How to test authenticity of a Rudraksha Bead?
As per MahaShivPuran, the only real way of testing whether an Twelve Mukhi is original or not is to cut the bead in half from the middle and count the number of compartments inside. It should match the number of Mukhs outside so an original Twelve Mukhi Rudraksha will have just 12 compartments inside but with today’s technology, we don’t need to cut the bead. Same result can be obtained with X-Ray. That is why we get all our Twelve Mukhi Rudraksha tested from a Govt. approved independent lab. They test all the beads under X-Ray and only after verifying that the bead has only twelve compartments inside do they certify it as a natural bead. You will get the lab certificate along with each of our 12 Mukhi Rudraksha.
There are many “tests” mentioned online but none of them are completely accurate. For Ex – it is said that a natural bead will sink in water whereas a fake bead will float in water. This can’t be further from the truth as a natural bead with air and moisture inside will float in water whereas if you put just a tiny drop of any heavy metal like lead inside a fake hand crafted bead, it will sink in water. So the only sure way of knowing whether the bead is genuine or not is an X-ray from an independent lab.
Who can wear Twelve Mukhi Rudraksha?
Anyone can wear any combination of Rudraksha beads because unlike gemstones, these beads do not have any negative or side effects. If you are facing a problem related to the benefits that I have mentioned above then you can surely wear the 12 Mukhi Rudraksha. Unlike gemstones you do not need to get your horoscope or rashi checked before wearing Rudraksha beads, you can just know the benefits of that bead and wear accordingly. These beads are Unisex so both men and women can wear them.
Mantra & how to wear this Rudraksha bead?
At Rudra Gems, we energize every bead through Mantras before sending them to our customers so after getting the 12 Mukhi Rudraksha, all you need to do is wear it on a Monday morning after chanting “OM KROM SHROM ROM NAMAH” 108 times. If you could wash the bead with milk and then ganga jal before wearing it then it will be great, if not then you can simply wear it around your neck after chanting “OM KROM SHROM ROM NAMAH” 108 times.
What are the precautions needed after wearing 12 Mukhi Rudraksha?
The wearer should avoid eating non-veg food, alcohol and visiting cemetery while wearing the 12 Mukhi Rudraksha. If you have to then first remove the bead and place it in your place of worship or if you are outside then you can put it in your bag or pocket first and then wear it again the next day after taking a bath. Don’t consume non-veg or alcohol while wearing the bead.
You should also remove the bead every night before going to sleep and wear it again the next morning after freshening up and taking a bath.
