5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace | Silver Guru

Monk Blessed Authentic 108 5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace with Silver Guru

Our 5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace is made with 108 natural Rudraksha seeds from India, each approximately 8mm in size. It is finished with a silver Guru bead and red string tassel, creating a traditional Mala that can be worn as a necklace or used as part of a Yoga or spiritual practice.

Rudraksha seeds have a long history in Indian spiritual traditions and are particularly associated with Lord Shiva, Yoga, meditation, and Japa practice. This Mala is also blessed by a Buddhist Monk and is offered as a Protection Mala, bringing together Indian Rudraksha tradition with the Buddhist blessing tradition of Thailand.

5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads

The defining feature of this Mala is its 5 Face Rudraksha seeds, traditionally known as Panchmukhi Rudraksha.

Each seed has five natural faces, or mukhi, visible as lines running around the seed. Five-faced Rudraksha is one of the most commonly used forms of Rudraksha and is widely found in Mala beads used for spiritual practice.

The natural texture and shape of Rudraksha seeds make this Mala distinctly different from stone or wooden prayer beads. Five-faced Rudraksha, or Panchmukhi Rudraksha, is one of the most widely used types of Rudraksha.

The five faces are naturally formed lines on the surface of the seed. Each seed is a natural material, so individual Rudraksha beads can vary slightly in shape, texture, colour, and definition.

Product Details

108 Rudraksha Mala Beads

This Mala contains 108 Rudraksha seeds, following the traditional structure used for Mala beads in Indian spiritual traditions. The number 108 has a long-standing significance in Yoga, Hindu, Buddhist, and other spiritual traditions. A 108-bead Mala can be used to count repetitions of a mantra, prayer, or other spiritual practice.

The same 108-bead structure is also found in traditional Buddhist prayer beads, making this Rudraksha Mala suitable for people who appreciate the connection between different Mala traditions.

The Meaning of Rudraksha

The Sanskrit name Rudraksha is traditionally connected with the words Rudra, a name associated with Lord Shiva, and aksha, meaning eye.

According to Hindu tradition, Rudraksha seeds are associated with the tears of Lord Shiva. The story describes Shiva entering a deep meditation for the benefit of living beings and, upon opening his eyes, tears falling to the earth and giving rise to the Rudraksha tree.

For centuries, Rudraksha has therefore been associated with spiritual practice, meditation, devotion, and Yoga.

Rudraksha Protection Mala

This Rudraksha Seed Mala is part of our Protection Mala collection. Rudraksha has traditionally been worn by spiritual practitioners as part of their personal practice, while our Mala is also blessed by a Buddhist Monk in Thailand.

The Monk blessing gives the necklace an additional connection to Buddhist spiritual tradition. For many people, wearing a blessed Mala provides a physical reminder of their faith, intentions, and desire for protection and inner peace. These traditional beliefs are spiritual associations rather than guarantees of physical protection or supernatural effects.

Rudraksha seeds are natural materials, so individual beads will vary slightly. Differences in size, colour, texture, shape, and the appearance of the five faces are normal characteristics of genuine Rudraksha. These natural variations mean that every Mala has its own individual appearance.

This 5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace combines 108 natural Rudraksha seeds from India with a silver Guru bead and red string tassel.

Each Mala is blessed by a Buddhist Monk in Thailand and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity and Thai silk prayer bead bag.

Yoga Rudraksha Mala

Rudraksha Mala beads are particularly popular among Yoga practitioners. They can be used as a physical reminder of a Yoga practice, worn around the neck during everyday life, or incorporated into Japa meditation and mantra practice.

The 108-bead structure makes this Mala suitable for traditional counting practices, while the necklace design allows it to be worn comfortably outside of formal practice. Although Rudraksha originates primarily from Indian spiritual traditions, the 108-bead structure is also familiar within Buddhist Mala traditions.

This necklace therefore provides an interesting meeting point between Yoga Mala and Buddhist prayer bead traditions. The natural Rudraksha seeds, 108-bead construction, silver Guru bead, and Buddhist Monk blessing give it a distinctive character.  It can be appreciated as a Rudraksha Mala, Yoga Mala, or Buddhist prayer bead necklace, depending on the wearer’s personal practice.

Blessed by a Buddhist Monk

Each Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace is blessed by a Buddhist Monk in Thailand. Monk Mala works with Buddhist Monks in Chiang Mai, allowing our Mala beads to be blessed before they are sent to customers. A Monk blessing is an important part of the spiritual character of our Mala beads. It connects the necklace with Buddhist traditions surrounding blessings and meaningful spiritual objects. Each Mala includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Rudraksha Seeds from India

The Rudraksha seeds used for this Mala come from India. We source the Rudraksha from a small company that specialises in Rudraksha products and works with its own Rudraksha trees. The seeds are harvested in limited quantities and prepared for use in spiritual products.

The connection to India is particularly important for Rudraksha, as the seeds have been used there for centuries in Yoga, Hindu, and spiritual traditions.

Silver Guru Bead

The silver Guru bead provides a clear finishing point to the 108 Rudraksha beads. Guru beads are traditionally used as a reference point when completing a cycle of Mala beads. The silver Guru also gives this natural Rudraksha Mala a simple jewellery-like finish. The combination of natural brown Rudraksha seeds and silver creates a traditional appearance while making the Mala suitable for everyday wear.

Rudraksha Mala Necklace

The necklace has an approximate hanging length of 62cm, allowing it to sit naturally around the neck. The 8mm Rudraksha seeds provide a noticeable but comfortable size, while the natural texture of the seeds gives the necklace an authentic traditional appearance.

It can be worn as a Yoga Mala, Rudraksha necklace, Buddhist prayer bead necklace, or personal spiritual reminder.

An Authentic 5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala

The 5 Face Rudraksha Seed Mala Beads Necklace brings together an ancient Indian spiritual material with the traditional 108-bead Mala format and a Buddhist Monk blessing from Thailand. Suitable for Yoga practitioners, spiritual practitioners, and anyone who appreciates the traditional meaning of Rudraksha, it can be worn as a necklace or used as part of a Japa or mantra practice.

As a Protection Mala, it also provides a meaningful personal reminder of protection, inner peace, spiritual practice, and positive intentions.
