rudraksh ki jati ke hi dusre fal hain bhadraksh evan indraksh. bhadraksh men mukh janit dhariyan nahin hoti hanai. indraksh ab lupt ho chuka hai aur dekhne men nahin ata. kaha jata hai ki sati ki mrityu par shivji ko bahut dukh hua aur unke ansu anek sthanon par gire jisse rudraksh (rudra$aksh arthat shiv ke ansu) ki utpatti hui. isilie jo vyakti rudraksh dharan karta hai use sabhi prakar ke kashton se mukti milti hai.
chandrama shivji ke bhal par sada virajman rahta hai atah chandra grah janit koi bhi kasht ho to rudraksh dharan se bilkul dur ho jata hai. kisi bhi prakar ki mansik udvignata, rog evan shani ke dvara pirit chandra arthat sarhe sati se mukti men rudraksh atyant upyogi hai. shiv sarpon ko gale men mala banakar dharan karte hain. atah kal sarp janit kashton ke nivaran men bhi rudraksh vishesh upyogi hota hai.
rudraksh samanyatya panchmukhi pae jate hanai, lekin ek se chaidhmukhi rudraksh ka ullekh shiv puran, padm puran adi men milta hai. rudraksh ke mukh ki pahchan use bich se do tukron men kat kar ki ja sakti hai. jitne mukh hote hain utni hi fankane najar ati hain. har rudraksh kisi n kisi grah ka pratinidhitva karta hai. inka vibhinn rogon ke upchar men bhi vishesh upyog hota hai.
rudrakshon men ekmukhi ati durlabh hai. shuddh ekmukhi rudraksh to dekhne men milta hi nahin hai. nepal ka gol ekmukhi rudraksh atyant hi durlabh hai. iske sthan par dakshin bharat men paya jane vala ekmukhi kajudana atyant hi prachlit hai. asam men paya jane vala gol dane ka ekmukhi rudraksh bhi bahut prachlit hai. ikkis mukhi se upar ke rudraksh ati durlabh hain. iske atirikt atthais mukhi tak ke rudraksh bhi pae jate hain. malaen adhikanshtah indoneshiya se upalabdh rudrakshon ki banai jati hain. bare danon ki malaen chote danon ki malaon ki apeksha sasti hoti hain. saf, svachch, sakht, chikne v saf mukh dikhai dene vale danon ki mala kafi mahangi hoti hai.
rudraksh ke anya rupon men gauri shankar, gauri ganesh, ganesh evan trijuti adi hain. gauri shankar rudraksh men do rudraksh prakritik rup se jure hote hain. ye donon rudraksh gauri evan shankar ke pratik hain. ise dharan karne se dampatya jivan men madhurta bani rahti hai. isi prakar gauri ganesh men bhi do rudraksh jure hote hain ek bara ek chota, mano parvati ki god men ganesh virajman hon.
is rudraksh ko dharan karne se putra santan ki prapti hoti hai evan santan ke sabhi prakar ke kashton ka nivaran hota hai. ganesh rudraksh men prakritik rup se hathi ki sund jaisi akriti bani hoti hai. ise dharan karne se sabhi prakar ke avrodh dur hote hain evan durghatana se bachav hota hai. trijuti rudraksh men tin rudraksh prakritik rup se jure hote hain. yah ati durlabh rudraksh hai aur ise dharan karne se sabhi prakar ke kashton ka nivaran hota hai.
rudraksh ke bare men kuch bhram bhi prachlit hain. jaise ki pahchan ke lie kaha jata hai ki tanbe ke do sikkon ke bich men yadi rudraksh ko rakha jae aur vah asli ho to dhimi gati se ghumta hua najar aega. vastav men rudraksh jaisi kisi bhi gol kantedar vastu ko yadi is tarah pakra jaega to vah asantulan ke karan ghumegi. dusra bhram yah hai ki asli rudraksh pani men dubta hai, nakli nahin. yah bat is tathya tak to sahi hai ki lakri ka bana kritrim rudraksh nahin dubega. rudraksh ka bij bhari hone ke karan dub jata hai lekin yadi asli rudraksh pura paka nahin ho ya chidra men hava bhari rah gai ho to vah bhi pani se halka hi rahta hai, dubta nahin.
adhik mukh vale rudraksh evan ekmukhi rudraksh mahange hone ke karan nakli bhi bana lie jate hain. prayah kam mukhi rudraksh men atirikt mukh ki dhariyan bana di jati hain jisse kam mulya ka rudraksh adhik mulya ka ho jata hai. is tathya ki janch karne ke lie rudraksh ko bich se katakar fankon ki ginti ki ja sakti hai. dusre, anubhav dvara in kritrim dhariyon aur prakritik dhariyon men antar kiya ja sakta hai.
kabhi-kabhi do rudrakshon ko jorakar bhi ek mahanga rudraksh bana liya jata hai. gauri shankar, gauri ganesh ya trijuti rudraksh aksar is prakar bana lie jate hain. iski janch ke lie yadi rudraksh ko pani men ubal diya jae to nakli rudraksh ke tukre ho jaenge jabki asli rudraksh jyon ka tyon rah jaega. kai bar nakli rudraksh ko bhari karne ke lie chidron men para ya sisa bhar diya jata hai. ubalne se yah para ya sisa bahar a jata hai aur rudraksh tairne lagta hai. kai bar dekhne men ata hai ki rudraksh par sarp, ganesh, trishul adi bane hote hain. ye sabhi akritiyan prakritik nahin hoti hain, is prakar ke rudraksh keval nakli hi hote hain. atah mahange rudraksh kisi vishvasniya pratishthan se hi kharidna uchit hai. asli evan vishvasniya rudraksh ki prapti ke lie fyuchar paeint ratn evan rudraksh bhandar men apka svagat hai.
