7 Mukhi Rudraksha

7 Mukhi Rudraksha is dedicated to the seven Matrikas, Surya, the Saptarishis, Mahesana (Kartikeya), Ananga (Kamadeva), Ananta (Basuki—the king of snakes), and the serpent king. According to public interest, above all, it is dedicated to the infinite infinite Parabrahma.According to the Brahma Purana (which describes the origin of the universe), Lord Vishnu produced a lotus from the navel as desired by Shiva. This lotus was huge, with many stalks, well organized and beautiful. Its color was yellow like Kaner. Lord Shiva created Brahma (Hiranyagarbha) from his right side and placed it in the stem of a lotus. Hiranyagarbha appeared from this lotus. The four-faced Hiranyagarbha got curious to know about himself and started roaming in the lotus stalk. But even after hundreds of celestial years he could not find out the secret of his origin. Shivji himself advised him to meditate and after 12 divine years of penance, Vishnuji appeared before him. There was a dispute between these two, then Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Jyotirlinga and said, “You both have immense power and vast knowledge, but you cannot find the beginning or the end of the universe. So call it eternal.”This meaning of infinity is revealed on applying Saptamukhi Rudraksha that it is very useful and bestows the holder with many types of powers.According to the Padmapurana, the following divine serpents reside in the seven faces of this Rudraksha: Ananta, Karkat, Pundarika, Takshak, Vashoshimban, Karoash and Shankhchud. It is concluded from this that its holder is not affected by any kind of poison. This helps in getting rid of sins like theft, adultery and drug abuse.Its wearer gets hidden wealth, gets the power to attract the attention of the person of the opposite sex and destroys the enemies.This Rudraksha being dedicated to Saptamatrika pleases Mahalakshmi. The seven divine mothers are: Brahmi, Maheshwari, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi, Indrani and Chamunda. Being blessed by many deities, this Rudraksha brings fame, wealth and progress in life and removes misfortune. The wearer gets the divine grace of Goddess Mahalakshmi.According to Jabalopanishad, Saptamukhi Rudraksha is similar to Sapta Brahmi and Saptarshi (Saptarshi originated from Manas of Brahmaji). This Rudraksha bestows good health and wealth. There are seven sages of the Saptarishis: Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulah, Ritu and Vashishtha. Each Manvantara (cycle of the world) has a different Saptarishi. He is also seen in the sky as the ‘son of the stars’ and is called the Saptarishi Lok. It is said that those pious people who do evening prayers daily and chant Gayatri go to Saptarshi Lok.Saturn is the ruling planet of Saptamukhi Rudraksha. According to Matsya Purana, Shanischar is described as a man of black color in human form, who has a punishment (for punishment) in one hand, Rudraksh’s garland in the other hand. Veins are visible all over the body. He is ready to cure all the diseases of the applicant.From experience, Seven Mukhi Rudraksha is very helpful in reducing the pain of arthritis.
