Description

Shanmukha, Six Mukhi Guru Mala; Courage joined to Wisdom.

The Six Mukhi, the heart of the mala

At the meru sits a rare Nepal Six Mukhi guru bead, and it is here the energy of this mala gathers. Six Mukhi carries the power of Kartikeya, the son of Shiva and Shakti, the warrior born of inspired action who restored peace to the earth. He is himself Shanmukha, the six faced one, and this is the bead’s promise: courage joined to wisdom.

Six Mukhiis said to impart clarity and foresight, to release old emotional pain, and to awaken appreciation of one’s own beauty, talents and worth. It helps the wearer see the true intention of others and to gather around them the people who genuinely support them. For this reason it is especially carried by those in corporate or demanding positions, where pressure calls for great inner power, and by journalists, editors and businesspeople who must think and act with force and precision. Where Five Mukhi settles, Six Mukhi moves. Together they hold stillness and momentum in a single strand: the calm to sit, and the power to act.

Rudraksha are the tears of Shiva, wept in compassion for the world and taking root as the sacred tree, the eye of Rudra. Worn against the skin they are said to steady the heart, quiet the mind and hold a subtle field of protection around the wearer. Each bead is marked by its mukhis, the natural faces running from crown to base, and the number of faces determines its character and the deity who presides over it.

The Five Mukhi, the body of the mala:The 108 beads of this mala are five faced Rudraksha, the form most beloved across the tradition. Five Mukhi carries the five faces of Shiva himself and the five elements from which all things are made. It is the great calmer and protector, worn to settle the nervous system, clear the mind and support health and peace. It asks nothing of the wearer and suits everyone, which is why it forms the ground of a true japa mala, one bead for each repetition, 108 in all.

This Mala:108 five faced Nepal Rudraksha, hand strung and crowned with a rare, beautifully formed Six Mukhi guru bead, finished in custom Shivoham silver caps and charms. Premium collector’s quality throughout.

A mala for the one who must hold their centre and still move the world. 

Each mala is hand set by Shivjyoti, consecrated and blessed before it reaches you.

Authenticity & Care:Every Rudraksha in this mala is genuine, premium Nepal Rudraksha, sourced directly from the Himalayas through our own team, who carry generations of experience in selecting these sacred beads, never from open markets, never dyed or imitated.

Rudraksha is a living seed. Keep it dry when possible, let it darken and deepen with wear, and oil it lightly with pure Almond oil, from time to time to preserve its lustre. Worn with care, it will serve you for a lifetime.
