The history of India has been filled with mystery, superstition and tradition. Some of these mysteries and traditions have been forgotten, while others live on. One such tradition is the practice of using Rudraksha seeds for keeping count of how many times one has recited the prayer. This is an ancient practice but has managed to find its way into modern times and is still popular today. Mainly practiced by Sadhu’s, the tradition has slowly but surely rubbed of on the general public as well.
So why do people use the Rudraksha Mala? And what are it’s benefits?• One of the many supposed supernatural powers of the Mukhi Rudraksha seeds is the ability to eradicate troubles from one’s life. This power lies strictly with 1 Mukhi Rudraksha Mala which is considered to be one of the rarest and most sacred malas on the list. This is supposed to symbolize Lord Shiva himself and has the ability to bring fame, power, wealth and all-round success if worn everyday.
• Another supernatural ability associated to Rudraksha malas or seeds is the ability to bring harmony in all relationships in one’s life. It is said that wearing a 2 Mukhi Rudraksha mala brings down tension between the parties involved and stimulates an environment for increased harmony and understanding. This has been a very common solution to marital problems in ancient times and is still practiced by some in modern times.
• The ability to grant one confidence and success has been associated to the 3 Mukhi Rudraksha mala that is said to represent ‘Lord Agni’ or the ‘god of fire’. It instills confidence onto the wearer giving them the mental power to commit to whatever it is they wish to do in life. It is said to control the energy levels of the human body and channel them to help fight depression and fear. Thus, increasing one’s self esteem and overall confidence. It is even said that this type of Mukhi can erase your past sins, offering them a clean slate for their current life.
