About the 17 Mukhi Rudraksha
17 Mukhi Rudraksha is very popular and is one of the rarest beads. It has an oval shape with 17 lines running from the top to the bottom. It stands for Lord Rama and his wife, Goddess Sita. Lord Rama came from the royal family of Raghu Vansha, so this Rudraksha is believed to bring Raaj Yoga (royal comfort and status) to the person who wears it. It also brings success and prosperity. This bead carries the blessings of both Lord Rama and Goddess Sita. Some also believe it represents Lord Vishwakarma, which is why it is popular among engineers, architects, and people who work in construction.
The ruling deity of 17 Mukhi Rudraksha is Goddess Katyayani, believed to be the sixth form of Goddess Durga. She fills the wearer's life with good qualities and wealth. She also helps the wearer find a good and honest life partner. The ruling planet of 17 Mukhi Rudraksha is ‘Shani’ (Saturn), which has a strong effect on human life. ‘Shani’ is seen as both a powerful planet and a powerful god in Hindu mythology. 17 Mukhi Rudraksha can cancel out the bad effects of Lord Shani. It can heal problems like ‘Sade Sati’ (a severe curse of ‘Shani’ that can even cause death) and ‘Panoti’ (bad luck caused by ‘Shani’).
