5 Mukhi Rudraksha Mala – 52+1 Beads (Large 10mm) | Java, Indonesia

A 52 plus 1 bead mala in large 5 Mukhi beads of roughly 10 to 12mm, knotted on thread. The bigger bead gives you something solid to move between your fingers, which is why most people who sit for daily japa prefer this size over a 5mm strand.

• Large beads you can actually feel. At 10 to 12mm each bead registers clearly under the thumb, so the count stays accurate with your eyes closed.
• Safe for anyone to wear. 5 Mukhi is the one Rudraksha with no restrictions attached to it.
• Ruled by Jupiter (Guru). Tied to wisdom, patience and steady expansion in work and study.
• 52 plus 1 count. A shorter strand than the full 108, so it sits higher on the chest and works as a wearable mala as much as a counting one.
• Knotted between beads. Each bead is separated by a knot, so the strand holds its spacing and one break does not scatter the mala.

Frequently asked questions

Why 52+1 and not 108+1?
Larger beads make a 108 strand long and heavy. The 52 plus 1 count keeps the mala wearable while still giving you a guru bead to work from.

Which is better for japa, this or the 5mm?
This one. Larger beads are easier to count without looking.

Can women wear Rudraksha?
Yes. There is no traditional bar on women wearing 5 Mukhi.

How do I clean it?
Wipe it dry after wear, keep it away from soap and perfume, and oil it lightly every few months.

Where is it from?
The beads are sourced from Java, Indonesia.
