14 Mukhi Rudraksha is found most rarely and it pleases Lord Shiva to give the wearer
His company. It is the most precious divine thing - Deva Mani. It awakens the sixth
sense organ by which the wearer foresees the future happenings. Its wearer never
fails in his decisions. Its wearer gets rid of all the calamities, miseries, and
worries. It provides the wearer safety and riches. It is a very powerful
antidote for Saturn miseries and provides miraculous cures for several ailments.
It is recommended to be worn on the chest as a necklace, on forehead on third eye
region, or on right arm. It helps in achieving moksha (salvation) from the world
which is the essence of human life. The wearer of 14 Mukhi Rudraksha becomes divine
and becomes dear to Lord Shiva.
Excerpts from Holy Books
Shiva Purana, Vidyesvara Samhita, translated by Shastri 1973
A Rudraksa with 14 Faces is the highest Siva. It shall be worn on the head with
great devotion.
Mantra is OM
Padma Purana, Chapter 57, translated by Bhatta 1989. The Lord said:
If a man always wears on his head or arm a Rudraksha with fourteen mouths, the mass
of Siva's power, he is always honored and approached by Gods due to the greatness
of this religious merit. Sacred Hymn for the 14 Mukhi Rudraksha is Om Namo Namah.
Srimaddevibhagavat, 11th Skand, Chapter III, Narayana said:
A man wearing 14 Mukhi Rudraksha on his forehead himself becomes Siva, hence its
greatness is indescribable. One who wears even one bead on the forehead is always
worshipped like Brahmins and Gods, and attains moksa.
Chapter V, God said:
There is no need to describe the greatness of Rudraksha again and again. It should
be worn always for it is superior to all. Those men who wear either the rosary of
Rudraksha or even one bead on their head, get rid of all pains, sorrows and sins
and attain all the credits. Such men on chanting the names of Siva become superior
to all other men.
According to Jabala, instinct for wearing Rudraksha results only after attaining
the perfection of Vedas and Blessings of Lord Siva during preceding births. He cannot
be killed. He roams like Rudra among other creatures on Earth and is worshipped
like Siva by all including deities.
Mantramaharnava. Lord Siva said:
A Rudraksha with 14 Faces is God Srikantha Himself. It gives Moksa (liberation)
to all the kith and kin of past generations and its wearer himself attains moksa.
