What is 1-Mukhi Rudraksha?
- One Mukhi Rudraksha represents the supreme deity, Shiva. It often takes on the form of a cashew nut or a half-moon. The round shape of a single mukhi seed does not occur in nature, although its availability in the future is uncertain.
- Many vendors online offer 1 mukhi round beads from Nepal; these beads are often immature, having only one naturally formed face but four or five interior seeds.
- The only other choice for a high-quality 1 mukhi comes from Nepal, and it comes in either an oval or a lentil shape. If you seek the best of both worlds—material success and devotion to the higher power—this is the Rudraksha for you.
- The wearer of this rudraksha is rendered Fearless, immune to the influence of any evil force or animosity. Spirituality improves one’s focus, washes away one’s sins, and leaves one feeling at peace and pleased.
- The person who wears this Rudraksha experiences a distancing from earthly concerns and a growing attraction to the highest force, God. Because it promotes the wearer’s spiritual development in addition to their physical well-being, this Rudraksha is unique.
Lord Shiva & 1 Mukhi Rudraksha according to Vedic Scriptures:
- The Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva is believed to be responsible for the creation, maintenance/preservation, and destruction of the cosmos, respectively.
- According to various mythological accounts from around the world, God Shiva is the INFINITE DIVINE, having no beginning and no end outside of himself; hence, he is also known as the divinity of eternity, Parabrahma, or the God of Unmanifested Identity, or the Formless Divine Being, as represented by the ancient manifestation of the sacred sound “OM,” which is considered to be the most potent mantra for dispelling the most potent malefic energy force.
- It’s important to remember that Lord Shiva isn’t responsible for the destruction of the universe in a pessimistic sense, but rather in a positive one, as he causes it only when the universe’s equilibrium is off and a new world order must be established by eradicating the force of illusions and imperfections.
- In order to restore peace and harmony to the world, it is only then that Shiva’s holy energy enters in as a destroyer of bad force at its roots.
- Although his face and neck are notably blue, since the rest of his body is of white colour, it is thought that Lord Shiva has a bluish aspect due of pictorial portrayal in numerous representations.
- If Lord Shiva’s Third Eye, or Tryambakam, ever opens, the world is thought to be doomed to utter destruction. Lord Shiva, who resides on the sacred mountain Kailash in the Himalayas, is often shown in the meditative pose that earns him the title “Yogi” or “Lord of Yoga.”
The Beginning of Lord Shiva
- There is a lot of disagreement regarding where Lord Shiva came from since there is no evidence that has led to a definitive conclusion on who gave birth to Shiva up to this point.
- In mythology, he is known as Aadidev, which literally translates to “the oldest god.” However, in the Puranas, he is described as the deity of Unmanifested Identity, which means that Shiva has no biological tie to his beginning.
- On the other hand, there are legendary allusions that suggest Brahma and Vishnu were the parents of Shiva. It is stated that Brahma and Vishnu once set out to discover the pillar of the cosmos.
- This is one of the stories that is used to demonstrate that Lord Shiva is infinite. Brahma, disguised as a goose, and Vishnu, disguised as a pig, started a journey that lasted for aeons and ended with the discovery of Lord Shiva, which resulted in the realisation that none other but Shiva alone is the driving force behind the cosmos.
The incarnations of the Lord Shiva
- Lord Shiva manifests himself in several guises, or avatars, such as Virabhadra, who is renowned for destroying King Daksha’s syagna and Kaal Bhairav, who is famed for protecting Sati Pind.
- The most famous of Shiva’s incarnations, however, was Lord Hanuman, whom he assumed in order to assist Lord Vishnu in his guise as Rama Avatar during the Treta Yuga.
Lord Shiva as Neelkanth
- As a consequence of drinking the deadly Halahala, Lord Shiva, in his form as Neelkanth, has a dark blue colour in his throat. This is because he did it in order to save the cosmos from an unthinkable disaster.
- During the churning of Ksheer Sagar by the Devas and Ashuras, among the numerous valuable items that were churned out of the milky sea, there also came out a goblet of poisonous Halahala during the process. This is according to a legendary depiction.
- The potency of the poison was so great that it emitted flaming vapours from the cup, which caused people who were in close proximity to the chalice to lose consciousness.
- This alarmed the gods and Ashuras who were there during the sudden mayhem. The gods and asuras at that time turned to Lord Shiva for help since he was the only Supreme Almighty Being who had the ability to withstand the devastating poisons.
- Because of what transpired, Lord Shiva was able to save not only the Gods and Ashuras, but also the whole world from the coming doom of the goblet by consuming every drop of the poison that was contained inside it.
- Due to the fact that the areas around his neck developed a dark blue colour after he consumed the Halahala, people have been calling him NEELKANTH ever since.
- The Ek mukhi Rudraksha is nature’s most auspicious, heavenly, and powerful gift to humanity. The king of Rudraksha beads, it is rarest. Lord Shiva, pure awareness or ParamShiva, rules the One mukhi Rudraksha.
- This Sakshat Shiv swaroopa bead benefits the wearer. This bead is supposed to provide Moksha, enlightenment, and spiritual consciousness to its bearer. Java/Indonesia’s 1 mukhi Rudraksha is the most potent since Nepal’s Ek mukhi is scarce.

Shape of 1-Mukhi Rudraksha
- Only the genuine Ek Mukhi Rudraksha has the appearance of an eye (Lord Shiva’s third eye) and is in the form of a half-moon. Because there is only one Rudraksha seed and one corresponding natural opening, this form is inherent to the Rudraksha. One-Mukhi Rudraksha may be spherical.
- Assume that whatever you come across is fabricated. You should exercise extreme caution when shopping for an Ek Mukhi Rudraksha, since most imposters would massage a 5 Mukhi Rudraksha bead to remove all four mukhs and disguise it as an Ek Mukhi. They add a stem to the arrangement to complete the realistic effect.
- Additionally, cashew-shaped Ek Mukhi Rudraksha beads are a fake. In place of Nepal, you may get the “Bhadraksha” variety from South India and Sri Lanka. Such beads are lower in weight and lack the thorns of their genuine counterparts.
- In another variation, some con artists offer a broken Savar bead as an Ek Mukhi Rudraksha. These knockoffs will cost you almost as much as the real thing, but they won’t provide you with any value at all.
