Om Namah Shivaya Om Namah Shivaya Hara Hara Shambo Namah Shivaya
Genuine 5 Faced Rudraksha Mala.
Carried back from a recent visit to Rishikesh, India. I used these beads for practicing mantra as I walked through the sacred scenes of Rishikesh, along and across the river Ganga.
You can tell they are real because the beads aren't all perfectly shaped the same, and some even still have the original shell casing. Also, pictured is one split bead to demonstrate the legitimacy of the beads.
5 Mukhi Rudraksha is the symbol of Five Pandavas that signifies trust and affection. The wearer of this original 5 Mukhi rudraksha may excel in all fields such as intelligence, strength, business, money, provided the wearer should have devotion towards Lord Shiva with complete truthfulness and love.
Also pictured above is Ganga Mata, in her temple near the marketplace where the beads originated.
