According to yogis and astrologers, Rudraksha are very influential in removing bad effects of the planets. Gems are used specially for removing the bad effects of planets. But if they are unable to pacify the evil influence, it is most advisable to wear Rudraksha as described in the following lines. Then not only planets are pacified but comfort and pleasure also come to its wearer and he becomes a favorite of Lord Shiva. Therefore, a man must know which Rudraksha will be useful to him.

1 Mukhi and 12 Mukhi
Both these mukhis are represented by Sun or Surya, the center of the Solar system around which all the planets revolve. These mukhis effectively control the malefic effects of Sun. Astrologically they are said to cure the malefic effects of Sun in the physical level such as diseases of the right eye, headache, ear ailments, bowel problems, bone weakness etc., and in the spiritual level such as lack of confidence, charisma, personal power, leadership qualities and prosperity. The Sun is pleased with the wearer and any obstacles in his path to lead a rich and powerful life is removed.

4 Mukhi
The ruling planet is Mercury. In mythology this represents Goddess Saraswati and Brahma. Malefic effects of Mercury include intellectual dullness of mind, lack of grasping and understanding power, difficulty in effective communication and also neurotic conditions of mind.
