Eight Mukhi Collector Rudraksha

What is the 8 Mukhi Rudraksha?

The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is a bead with eight vertical lines or grooves on its surface, called Mukhis or faces. This signifies that it represents the eight forms of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the lord of success. The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is the ultimate manifestation of Lord Ganesha himself, who bestows the wearer with his wisdom and power.

The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is also related to the Muladhara chakra, the root chakra located at the base of the spine. This chakra governs the aspects of survival, security, stability, and physical health. Wearing this bead helps balance and activate this chakra, improving one’s vitality, confidence, and grounding. The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is available in small, large, and collector sizes.

About the ruling planet Rahu

The ruling planet of the 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is Rahu, also known as the northern lunar node or the dragon’s head in Vedic astrology. Rahu is a shadow planet with no physical existence but has a strong influence on human life. Rahu can bring sudden changes, innovation, curiosity, and ambition into one’s life. However, it can also cause illusion, confusion, deception, and addiction if it is afflicted or ill-placed. The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha helps balance and harmonize the effects of Rahu in one’s horoscope. It can help overcome the challenges and obstacles that Rahu may bring, such as fear, anxiety, mental stress, and hidden enemies. It can also help enhance the positive qualities of Rahu, such as creativity, intelligence, and success.

Story about the presiding deity:

An Asura named Analasura, the son of Yama, could burn or scorch anything with the fire emitting from his eyes. He decided to turn his fiery vision towards the Rishis who were performing Yagna and offering oblation to Devatas and deities. He wreaked havoc by burning down ashrams and destroying the Havankunds. The Devatas tried to stop him but could not. When Lord Ganesha learned of this, he rushed to the ashram, swallowed Analasura in one gulp, and ended the distress caused to the pure and pious. All worship and rituals could now take place in an obstacle-free manner. It is also stated that when the ministers of Bhandasura set up devious Yantras to subdue the power of Shaktis, Lord Ganesha appeared as Shakti Ganesh and shattered these Yantras with his tusks, breaking them to pieces. This is why it’s believed by many that Lord Ganesh always rushes to help those distressed by obstacles.
