Sometimes we come across fake ones for the Rare Rudrakshas like Ek mukhi. As the Sacred books seriously warned about their ill-effects, we should neither wear them on body nor keep them at Puja mandir. O.k, Let us first discuss about the most common doubt on Ek mukhi Rudraksha.
Kaju dana, is it real Eka mukhi?
Yes, Kajudana (Cashew nut shaped Ek mukhi Rudraksha) is a real Ek mukhi. Anatomy of a normal Ek mukhi Rudraksh turns it into crescentic. It looses it's roundness because of lack of many compartments. So, no fear to purchase a Kaju dana.
Shivling on Eka mukhi:
Like this? No. It's fake. Some people tell that the groves on the surface of a Round One face Rudraksh turn into the shapes of Shivling, Serpent etc. But those signs are not mandatory, they are only optional.
How many types of Fake Eka mukhi are present?
We cannot classify them. As the technology is growing and the demand is rising, many new methods are being invented to create the fake ones. An important thing to note: The Physicochemical analysis reports have given no reliable clue to know the Faces (lines /Mukhi) of a Rudraksha. So, it is better to do some essential tests before purchasing a Rudraksh.
Dangers from Fake Eka mukhi Rudraksha:
Worshiping a fake Ek mukhi Rudraksha gives poverty (Daridrya karakam). Worshiping a spoiled Rudraksha attracts evil forces, causing psychological disturbances. They may even lead to suicides or homicides.
Where can we find Original Rudrakshas?
From well-known persons, whom you can believe in.
Not satisfied? O.k, I can suggest two other alternatives. Big merchants, who were running their business from many years. Yes, time tested them. So, we can relay.
The second important point is place of purchase. We can easily find Good quality Rudrakshas at Varanasi or Kathmandu. The reasons are different. Varanasi is a place for Good merchants, Rudraksha trees grow enormously at Kathmandu. So as, Haridwar and Janakpur. South-East Asia (Thailand, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Bali etc) is also a land of Rudrakshas.
