About the 9 Mukhi Rudraksha
9 Mukhi Rudraksha is rare and hard to find. Its ruling Goddess is Nav Durga. It has an oval shape and carries the blessings of the Shakti form of Goddess Durga. The word ‘Shakti’ means power. If you wear it or keep it close to your body, you can feel real inner strength. According to the Hindu holy books Shrimad Devi Bhagavata and Padma Purana, 9 Mukhi Rudraksha is also blessed by Bhairav Baba, another form of Lord Shiva.
People believe 9 Mukhi Rudraksha is linked to nine black cobra snakes called ‘Naw Kaali Naags’. The power of these nine snakes lives inside this Rudraksha, which makes it very powerful. Hindu mythology also says 9 Mukhi Rudraksha has a strong link to the nine forms of Goddess Durga. She came to earth nine times to protect her followers and defeat evil and demon powers. People worship these nine forms every year, one on each day of the Navaratri festival.
People believe 9 Mukhi Rudraksha comes from the holy country of Nepal. Devotees who worship the power of the mother goddess like to wear and keep 9 Mukhi Rudraksha with them. It brings both ‘Bhoga’ and ‘Moksha’ to the wearer. ‘Bhoga’ means getting all worldly and spiritual wishes fulfilled, and ‘Moksha’ means freedom and liberation of the soul.
The ruling planet of 9 Mukhi Rudraksha is Ketu. Like Rahu, Ketu is also a shadow planet. This Rudraksha removes the harmful effects of this troublesome planet. Anyone suffering from the negative effects of Ketu should wear it. It is best to wear 9 Mukhi Rudraksha on a Monday or Thursday, after it has been purified. The purification involves holy rituals and chants in a sacred place. When you wear or remove this Rudraksha, chant the holy mantra nine times. It works best when worn after a bath.
9 Mukhi Rudraksha lights up the soul and gives lasting strength and power to people who feel weak. It gives courage and a fighting spirit to people who are afraid of ghosts and evil spirits. It also helps treat physical problems such as body ache, eye pain, fever, lung disease, and skin problems. 9 Mukhi Rudraksha also helps with nerve disorders and nervous system problems. It has a strong effect on body organs like the hypothalamus and the limbic system. The mother energy in 9 Mukhi Rudraksha can free people from deep fears and phobias and help them stay fearless and full of energy.
