The 1 Mukhi Rudraksha is the symbol of Godhood, Supreme Truth and Attainment of
Eternity. The 1 Mukhi Rudraksha is itself Lord Shankar and it is the main
rudraksha among Rudrakshas of all faces. It is ruled by
the Sun and enlightens the Super Consciousness. It brings the power of Dharana to
the wearer, meaning the power to concentrate the mind on an object. The wearer of
1 Mukhi Rudraksha gets his mental structure changed and he begins to feel renunciation
from the worldly affairs and naturally inclined towards God. His mind begins to
concentrate on the Supreme Element that is Partattva Dharana cha jayate Tatprakashnam,
thus the discoverers of Aatma Tattva must wear 1 Mukhi Rudraksha.
This is the best of all Rudrakshas. Peace and pleasure abide in the house
where 1 Mukhi Rudraksha is worshipped. The person who worships it obtains not only
all the worldly pleasures during his life span but also remains unaffected by them.
1 Mukhi Rudraksha is found in two shapes - round and the half moon shape. Round
Rudraksha is highly praised in our ancient texts but it is very rare and more of
a myth. 1 Mukhi Half Moon is easily available and found in a family tree of Rudraksha
from India and Sri Lanka. From the point of view of importance there is no difference
between them. Therefore it must be real and pure in whatever shape it may be. The
cost of 1 Mukhi Round is more than the half moon shaped Rudraksha.
Excerpts from Puranas
Srimaddevibhagavat 11th Skand, Chapter V, verses 25 and 26, it is stated
"According to Jabala instinct for
wearing Rudraksha results only after attaining the perfection of Vedas and blessings
of Lord Siva during preceding births."
In Chapter VII, verse 23, it is stated "Rudrakshas infused with Bija mantras should
be worn. One Mukhi Rudraksha helps envisioning the Partattva."
Padma Purana Chapter 57, translated by Bhatta in 1989, it is stated in verse
38 to 39 "The Rudraksha of one mouth is virtually Siva. It removes the sin of brahmanacide.
Therefore one should wear it for the destruction of all (one's) sins. He would go
to Siva's heaven and rejoice with Siva. O Kartikeya a man would obtain a Rudraksha
of one mouth due to great religious merit and due to Siva's favour and would also
obtain Kailasa."
