Rudraksha by Your Lagna Lord
Rudraksha beads are classified by mukhi — the natural facets on the seed — and each mukhi is associated with a graha and a deity. Unlike gemstones, rudraksha carries no tradition of harm from a wrong choice.
Five mukhi is the most widely worn bead and is considered suitable for almost anyone, which is why japa malas are made from it. The chart-specific mukhi below is an addition to that, not a replacement.
Buy from a source that will let you verify the bead. Counterfeits are common and usually made by carving extra lines into a lower-mukhi seed.
Questions
Can anyone wear rudraksha?
Traditionally yes. Unlike gemstones, there is no classical warning about a wrong mukhi harming the wearer.
How do I check if it is real?
The traditional tests are imperfect. Buy from a seller who provides X-ray verification, which shows the internal compartments matching the external mukhi count.
This is a classical astrological calculation, not medical advice. Nothing here diagnoses or treats illness. If something is wrong, see a doctor — the tradition itself prescribes remedies alongside treatment, never instead of it.
