Imagine walking through a lively market in India, the air filled with the smell of incense and the sound of temple bells. Amid the busy crowd, a vendor catches your eye. He’s holding a Rudraksha bead, claiming it’s the rare Ek Mukhi Rudraksha. Your heart races. Could this be the divine blessing I’ve been seeking?”, you say to yourself.
But then doubt creeps in. Is this bead truly the sacred one-faced Rudraksha, or is it a cleverly crafted hoax?
The Myth of the ‘Nepali Round Ek Mukhi Rudraksha’
The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha is revered in Hinduism for its spiritual power. It represents the oneness of existence and the infinite strength of Lord Shiva, promising peace, focus, and enlightenment to its wearer.
“एकवक्त्रं महादेव शक्तिं लिङ्गे प्रतिष्ठितम्। यं धृत्वा प्राप्नुयात् मर्त्यो शिवलोकमवाप्नुयात्।।”
Padma Purana
Meaning: “The 1 Mukhi Rudraksha is established with the power of Lord Shiva. Wearing it, a mortal attains Shiva Loka.”
However, a widespread myth surrounds this sacred bead: the existence of a round Ek Mukhi Rudraksha from Nepal. Despite many claims, the truth is that a real round one-faced Rudraksha from Nepal simply does NOT exist.
The Authentic Ek Mukhi Rudraksha
The genuine Ek Mukhi Rudraksha is found in a half-moon shape, especially in southern India. This half-moon Rudraksha carries the same divine energy and blessings. However, it doesn’t have a natural hole, so it needs to be capped to be worn. When worn close to the chest, it connects with the heart, enhancing its spiritual benefits.
The Deception of Fake Rudrakshas
Consider the story of Ramesh, a devoted Shiva follower who received a Rudraksha bead from a man dressed as a sage. Grateful and trusting the sage/sadhu, Ramesh was told to keep the bead hidden. Years later, he discovered it was a fake, its carvings of 🕉 ‘OM’, Shivling, and other symbols just decorations meant to deceive and mislead.
Sadly, such stories are common. Some people, often posing as holy men, exploit the faith of seekers by giving out fake Rudrakshas. These counterfeit beads, sometimes given for free, are claimed to be rare Ek Mukhi Rudrakshas, taking advantage of the devotee’s trust and faith.
