Description

What is 7 Mukhi Rudraksha? 

• Goddess Lakshmi has bestowed her greatest blessing on the 7- Mukhi Rudraksha. Goddess of Good Fortune and Spiritual Enlightenment.
• The seven lines of rudraksha represent the Sapta Matrika, the Saptarishi, Mahasen, Kamadeva, and Vasuki, the King of Snakes.
• The Seven-faced Rudraksha is a Shanidev (Saturn) Symbol. The user of a Seven Mukhi Rudraksha is said to have more success in business and administration. 

7-Mukhi Rudraksha according to the scriptures: 

• The 7 face Rudraksha is blessed by the Saptamatrikas and provides the blessings of Goddess Mahalakshmi.   
• The 7 Sages known as Saptarishi’s, Sun, Mahasen, Anang and Ananta, the snake also bless this bead.  The word “Ananta” (infinite) gives an insight into the several powers.
• Lord Vishnu has told; He is Ananta of all the snakes.  Lord Vishnu is often depicted with Sthira (stable) Lakshmi on Ananta.
• Thus, this bead carries the power of Goddess Mahalakshmi in her most stable form. The blessing of Goddess Mahalakshmi brings in wealth, fame, progress and removes bad luck. 
• When Mahalakshmi was in Devalok, Lord Indra was resplendent and mighty as the king of Devatas. When he was cursed for his arrogance and carelessness by the Sage Durvasa, Goddess Mahalakshmi leaves him, rendering him weak and without glory.
• She then graces the Naagalok and also the lower world of the Asuras. The king of Asuras, Bali was blessed abundantly by Mahalakshmi.
• When the hunt for Amrut began, it was decided to churn the ocean. Both Devas and Asuras saw Mahalakshmi emerging from the ocean of milk amidst the churning.
• Mahalakshmi promptly choose Vishnu as her husband and went with him to Vaikuntha. It is in this place that Mahalakshmi sat with her husband on the mighty Ananta Naag and displayed her Sthira (stable) form. 
• The Padma Purana states that seven mighty snakes live in the seven facets of the 7 Mukhi Rudraksha. Nagas or snakes are mighty elemental beings.
• The wearer of this bead stays unaffected by poisoning of any kind because of the grace of the Nagas. Crimes like theft, adultery and drug abuse amount to negative Karma and sins. This bead absolves the sins resulting from them.

How to identify your original 7-Mukhi Rudraksha: 

• Good quality Rudraksha will contain mukhis with a clear outline that flow across their entire length. Most of the time, the one-mukhi Rudraksha beads that have greater than twelve lines could be forged by traders for the purpose of making a high profit. The upper mukhi is made through the sculpting of a lower mukhi. 
• According to Maha Shiv Puran, the only reliable technique to determine whether or not a 7-Mukhi is authentic is to split the bead along the centre and count the number of chambers.
• The number of lines inside the compartments should correspond to the number of Mukhis on the exterior of the bead. X-rays are effective in revealing the lines inside it.
• An authentic Rudraksha is a gorgeous body that is clearly marked grooves, or Mukhis. Fake or artificially made Rudraksha could look exactly like the real one, but the characteristics (Mukhis) aren’t exactly like authentic beads. Beads that aren’t fully created or eaten up by insects has a higher chance to fall. 
• The Rudraksha bead should spin somewhat if you set it between two copper coins, according to the Copper Coin Test. Many customers do this without knowing the true fact or reason for it because they believe it is related to the Rudraksha beads’ physical and magnetic properties.
• If you hold a round object (like a Rudraksha bead) between two smooth metal coins, the object will spin because of the mechanical force acting on the pivoted surface of the Rudraksha bead. This has nothing to do with the authenticity of the Rudraksha.
• If the Rudraksha is held securely between the two coins, or if the protrusions are flattish and hence oppose the movement, there may be no spinning at all. When customers find that their Rudraksha bead doesn’t spin freely in their hands, they often jump to the conclusion that the bead is false.
