5 Mukhi Rudraksha: Benefits, Power, and Significance

dateOn July 10, 2025

Rudraksha, a sacred bead worn by Hindus, is the seed of a tree – Elaeocarpus ganitrus. It is mostly worn by spiritual seekers. This tree species is found at a certain altitude in the mountains in the Himalayan region. Many of these trees were cut down to make railway sleepers, so now there are only a few of them in India. But one can find more of these trees in Nepal, Burma, Thailand, and Indonesia. A bead can have one or more faces or lines. The maximum is 21. Each bead has its unique uses.

A bead with 5 faces is called 5 Mukhi or Panch (meaning 5) Mukhi Rudraksha.

This Rudraksha bead can be used by everyone, including children. It is good for general well-being. It lowers blood pressure, calms the nerves, and makes one calm and alert.

The ruling deity of the 5 Mukhi Rudraksha is Lord Shiva as Rudra Kaalagni. Intellectuals and spiritual people often wear it to repel negative energies. The power of Shiva helps them realize their desires and attain Moksha.

Kaalagni Rudra, an avatar of Shiva, fought evil in all its forms. He ended the tyrannical reign of the demon Tripurasura. He freed the gods, sages, and humans from the shackles of oppression.

How to Identify an Authentic 5 Mukhi Rudraksha? 

A Rudraksha with 5 lines or grooves is a 5 Mukhi Rudraksha. According to the Shiva Purana, one can find out if a five Mukhi bead is authentic by breaking the beads along its center and counting the number of chambers. The lines in the chambers should be equal to the number of Mukhis located on the bead’s outside part. Artificial Rudraksha may look like the original, but the features/Mukhis will not match exactly with the real beads.

How to Wear 5 Mukhi Rudraksha? 

Morning is the most auspicious time to wear the 5 Mukhi Rudraksha. Take a bath before wearing the Rudraksha. Also, chant a suitable Mantra on the occasion. It is also good to worship Lord Shiva and offer a ghee diya (lamp) and incense sticks. Those who wear Rudraksha should always speak the truth. Visit a Shiva temple and invoke the deity’s blessings.

Never carry the Rudraksha to a cremation ground or a funeral. One should also avoid it during the birth of a child.

Keep the Rudraksha clean at all times, as dirt or dust may settle within the bead’s pores. Clean these often. Change the thread if it becomes dirty or damaged. After cleaning, wash the Rudraksha with clean water or Ganga Jal. This maintains its sanctity. You can dry it under the fan. Keep the Rudraksha oiled. After cleaning, oil the Rudraksha and offer incense sticks. This is very important, especially if the bead is not used for a long time.
