The 15 Mukhi is a very rare Rudraksha. This represents Lord Pashupati and is specially beneficial for
economic progress. Its possesor is neither bereft of wealth nor inflicted by any kinds of skin diseases.
This Rudraksha is a highly auspicious Rudraksha that influences the gaining of Mukti from Paasha
and helps to prevent the loss of attainment of Moksa in this lifetime. This Rudraksha also pacifies
emotional disturbance in the mind caused by the limitations caused by Paasha or bondage. The Lord
Pashupati Rudraksha supports the spiritual path to Moksa in this physical lifetime and enhances Rudra
Consciousness, that is an aspect of Consciousness based in the process of actively destroying ignorance,
suffering and pain that is produced by bondage and/or attachment.
Importance of 15 Mukhi Rudraksha
This is an immensly powerful Rudraksha for those working with Spiritual Techniques to accomplish Mukti
i.e. freedom from bondage, and Moksa i.e. liberation in this physical lifetime. Pashu means
individual soul or Jeeva , Pati means Lord and God and Master and Siva all as one in the same. Pashupati
is Lord of Individuals, Lord Siva Lord of animals.
According to Saiva Siddhanta, the individual soul that is Jeeva by nature is infinite, pervasive
and omnipresent. However, due to what is described as impurities, individuals sometimes experience
themselves as finite, limited and ignorant. These impurities that can sometimes bind an individual are
called Paasha and are three in nature. They are Anava and Karma and Maya. The literal meaning of Paasha
is a rope. It is comprised of three strands that are Anava - the impurity of ignorance, Karma - the
impurity of action and Maya - the power of obscuration. These three can tie the individual soul into
bondage.
Anava is ignorance. It is a beginningless positive inert energy that can causes delusion. However, it
can be destroyed. It is said that this is possibly the original cause of an individual's bondage.
Karma forges bondage of the individual resulting from actions of thought, work or deed. Karma can
produce merit and demerit that can tie the individual to the wheel of birth and death. Karma can also
be pacified and destroyed.
Maya provides the individual with its body's instruments and objects of experience. It creates the
universe for one's advancement though under the influence of ignorance it can become misused and thus
become a fetter. Maya can be destroyed. According to Kashmir Saivism individual souls are called bound
or Pashu due to these three limitations caused by impurities. As individual souls move forward on thier
spiritual path their true nature manifests that is eternal, real, identical with Lord Siva and
essentially unlimited, all pervading and an ever conscious luminosity.
Liberation comes when the soul remembers its identity with Lord Siva. Once all the obstacles are removed
this remembering can take place in this physical lifetime.
The Lord Pashupati Rudraksha is the only one found to date that works with Mukti and Moksa in this manner
and is an exceptional Rudraksha for the spiritual path.
