5 Mukhi (Panchmukhi) Rudraksha Maha Mala – 1008 Beads (20-Inch)

Elevate your spiritual practice with the profound energy of the 1008 Beads Panchmukhi (5 Face) Rudraksha Maha Mala. While standard malas contain 108 beads, a "Maha Mala" containing exactly 1008 beads is highly prized by serious spiritual seekers, yogis, and devotees. The number 1008 is deeply auspicious in Vedic traditions, representing the infinite names of the divine. Because it contains 1008 beads, the beads used are typically smaller (micro-sized) allowing the long chain to be elegantly wrapped around the neck multiple times, resulting in a beautiful, comfortable 20-inch drop.

Spiritual Significance The 5 Mukhi (Panchmukhi) Rudraksha is blessed by Lord Kalaagni Rudra, a fierce yet compassionate form of Lord Shiva. It is the most widely worn and universally beneficial of all Rudraksha types. According to the Shiva Purana, wearing a 5 Mukhi Rudraksha purifies the soul, washes away negative karma, and brings the wearer closer to a state of absolute calmness. Chanting a mantra on a 1008-bead mala is believed to amplify the spiritual merit of the mantra exponentially.
