1 Mukhi Rudraksha
The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha (one-faced Rudraksha) is considered the most auspicious of its kind. It symbolizes the God of Supreme Truth and Godhood.
The One Mukhi Rudraksha represents Lord Shiva, the deity who created the universe and is the originator of language, dance, music, Ayurveda, and the cycle of birth and death. It is the most significant among all types of Rudrakshas. Mythological texts state that peace and happiness reside in a home where the one-faced Rudraksha is worshipped.
Wearing this Rudraksha eliminates the fear of untimely death and brings fortune to the wearer. Those who possess and worship it not only enjoy all worldly pleasures but also remain unaffected by them. It is especially beneficial for doctorsaiding them in diagnosing diseases and achieving success in surgeries.
1 mukhi According to Puranas & Scriptures
According to the scriptures and Puranas, specifically the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam (11th Skandha, Chapter V, verses 25 and 26), it is mentioned that "The instinct to wear Rudraksha arises only after attaining the perfection of the Vedas and receiving the blessings of Lord Shiva in previous births." Additionally, in Chapter VII, verse 23, it is stated that "Rudrakshas infused with Bija mantras should be worn. A One Mukhi Rudraksha aids in envisioning the Paratattva."
The Padma Purana (Chapter 57, translated by Bhatta in 1989) states in verses 38 to 39, "The Rudraksha with one face is virtually Shiva. It removes all kinds of sins. Therefore, one ascend to Shiva's heaven and rejoice with Shiva. O Kartikeya, a person would obtain a Rudraksha with one face due to great religious merit and Shiva's favor, and would also attain Kailasha."
