The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha embodies Bhagawan Ganesh, who is regarded as the deity of both material abundance (Riddhi) and spiritual attainment (Siddhi). Wearing this bead removes obstacles in one’s path and brings success in endeavors. It grants the wearer wisdom, insight, and excellent health. This Rudraksha promotes stronger connections with family and society and aids in overcoming obsessive behavior, lust, and negative tendencies.

The planet Ketu rules the 8 Mukhi Rudraksha, balancing out its negative impacts while enhancing its good effects. Ketu represents the lessons we have previously gained in life from our past lives and thus symbolizes the qualities, attributes, and skills ingrained in us. While these traits may not need further development, getting too caught up in routines can sometimes hinder progress. When Ketu is favorably placed in the birth chart, it grants skill and favorable conditions in particular areas of life, enabling the productive application of previous karmas to accomplish current objectives.

Benefits of the 8 Mukhi Rudraksha:

Removal of obstacles and success in undertakings.
Brings wisdom and insight.
Grounds one to family values.
Helps ease obsessions and repetitive patterns.
Helps alleviate ailments of the feet.

Size Grade Guide

Nepal beads are larger in size and vary from 14mm (small) to 40mm (collector) with an average size of 20mm. Java beads are much smaller in size, from 2mm (small) to 25mm (collector) with an average size of 12mm. Both varieties are categorized into Small, Regular, Large, Collector, and Super Collector sizes.

Nepal Regular (R): A balance between high energy levels and the convenience of wearing pendants or bracelets.

Nepal vs. Java

Nepal beads are larger, with deeply etched mukhi lines and pronounced thorns, giving them a textured surface and a higher intensity of healing frequency. Java beads are smaller, with softer thorns and a smoother surface, and their mukhi lines are less deeply etched. As a result, they may take slightly longer to show results. However, both types of Rudraksha provide nearly identical benefits over time when worn the right way.

Nepal Rudraksha may be a better choice for those seeking faster effects, while Java beads appeal to those who prefer a smaller, more fashionable option for daily wear, such as in bracelets, pendants, or rings. Due to their convenience, many people choose Java beads for therapeutic purposes. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and lifestyle.

When wearing a Rudraksha bead or mala, keep it as close to your skin as possible. Wearing it as per RRCT guidelines is essential to fully benefit from its properties.
Avoid sharing your Rudraksha beads with others, including family members. If you wish to gift your Rudraksha, avoid wearing it for two weeks, reenergize it, and then gift it.
In dry climates, Rudraksha beads may crack, so apply natural unscented oil(like olive oil) with a soft toothbrush periodically. Do not soak or wash them in hot water, as it may destroy the seeds inside and crack the beads.
For best results, wear your Rudraksha 24/7, even while sleeping. You may wear it while bathing but rinse it with water afterward. If continuous wear isn’t possible, aim to wear it continuously for at least two weeks initially, and thereafter for at least 10 hours a day.
If there is dirt or fungal growth in the grooves, soak your Rudraksha in lukewarm water with a few drops of mild soap for 6-7 hours. Scrub gently with a plastic brush, dry in the shade, and apply light oil when dry.
If your Rudraksha has been off your body for over two weeks, consider reenergizing it or chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" 3, 9, 11, 21, 51, or 108 times before wearing it again. It will resonate with your energy within two weeks.
Contrary to some internet advice, avoid soaking Rudraksha beads in ghee and milk, as this may attract bacteria and pests. Instead, visit a Shiva temple for consecration, or wear them directly; they will naturally attune to your body’s energy.
Keep your beads away from damp or wet places when not wearing them. If mold appears or the beads become infested with insects, rinse them in lukewarm water, dry them in the shade or with a hairdryer, and then store them in the freezer for two days.
Surface-level cracks do not diminish a Rudraksha’s effectiveness, as they often fill naturally with changes in weather. However, if the internal compartments become damaged, it is best to replace the bead. With proper care, Rudraksha beads can last for generations.
Elaborate pujas aren’t necessary to energize Rudraksha; chanting Beeja or Shiva mantras helps harmonize with the Rudraksha's energy.
At Rudra Centre, every Rudraksha bead is energized before shipping, but they fully activate and resonate with the chakras upon contact with your body. Wearing them as per RRCT guidelines, and continuously for 24/7, enables Nepali beads to align within 3-5 days and Java beads within 10-14 days, promoting harmony and balance in the body.
You may consume non-vegetarian food or alcohol while wearing Rudraksha without negative effects. However, adopting a Sattvic lifestyle may amplify benefits; many find Rudraksha helpful in reducing habits like smoking and drinking.
You can wear Rudraksha while being intimate or during sexual activity. It’s optional to remove them for such occasions.
If you accidentally step on, drop, or break a Rudraksha, no adverse effects occur. Damaged beads can be respectfully buried or submerged in a natural water body.
People of all religions can wear Rudraksha beads.
