Two faced bead from Nepal- Top view
Dwimukham Devadevesham,
Shivam Somaardharupinam,
Ardhanaareeshwaram Shambhum,
Pranatosmi Umapatim.
I bow to Shiva, who has assumed the beautiful form of Ardhanareeshwara by revealing half of his body as Uma. Thus, he resides in the two mukhi Rudraksha showering auspiciousness.
At the beginning of all creation, Brahma the creator, meditated on Shiva and asked him how the Universe should be created. Shiva revealed himself as Ardhanaareeshwara suggesting to Brahma, that He, Shiva would manifest as male element and his consort Shakti, will manifest as female element in all species and would carry on the work of creation.
Being the embodiment of Ardhanaareeshwara, the two mukhi Rudraksha bestows harmony in matrimonial life.
The Two mukhi Rudraksha reminds us of the creative talent in us. It is directly related to the mind .The Rudraksha energises eyes, ears, nose, touch, sinuses, brain, pituitary gland and therefore the entire hormonal and nervous system.
Intuition, wisdom, knowledge, perception, self-awareness are also governed by this Rudraksha.
Astrologically,persons belonging to the Karka Rashi or those persons born under Rohini, Mriga, Hasta, Shravana Nakshatras can wear the Rudraksha because this bead is governed by the planet Moon and Devata Soma (meaning Moon and also Shiva with Uma)
It is not compulsory to connect Rudraksha with astrological signs every time. Rudrakshas should be ideally chosen as per their effect. However, a general choice can also be made on the basis of Rashi and Nakshatra.
Sadhaks wearing the Rudraksha can concentrate on the space between the two eyebrows at the starting point of the nose and visualizing a sphatica linga, chant the mantras
Umaa-Maheshwaraabhyaam Namah 108 times regularly to enhance the effects of this Rudraksha. These practices are left to the discretion of the seeker.

Hi Shekhar
What you are showing here in your blog for round one mukhi doesn't seem real. A round one mukhi is a rare posssession. So please do not misguide innocent people in todays era of rudraksha business trade.Even if you look for youself in the picture more than one cleft is clearly visible.And even if you by chance happen to possess a round one mukhi,its genuiness is always at crossroads,as only a genuine CT scan report wold reveal the presence of a single locule or more loculii within the seed.Most of the available round one mukhi sold in India are underdeveloped clefts of ,4, and 5 faced Rudraksha.I do agree that genuine round one mukhi rudrakshas are produced in trees of Nepal,but their availability and trading is a rare phenomenon.

Further to my comments on 2 mukhi rudraksha,the Flat shaped 2 Mukhi rudrakshas available from Rameshwaram,Haridwar are genuine 2-mukhi rudrakshas of species Elaeocarpus Tuberculatus and not Bhadrakshas.As per information ,the plant species for Bhadraksha is a totally different species of genus Scaevola frutescens Beach, Family- Goodeniaceae. True Bhadrakshas do not have clefts or mukhis.Please go through the blog of Dr. Chandrashekhar Phadke, who has confirmed the identification of the above species from the Royal Botanical Garden, London, England.

Dear Friend,
Im glad to know that I have a rationalist reader for my blog and I wholeheartedly welcome you here!
Let me try to clear your doubts...
Firstly,the purpose of this blog is not to advertise about what goods I have, but to educate people about the misconceptions and the malpractices prevalent in the market.
The photograph has not been downloaded from anywhere. I have myself shot it after ascertaining the genuineness of the bead.So If you can see any more clefts in the picture I have to say that your conviction about the falseness about the bead is trying to make you see such a thing.
I have not said anywhere that I possess such a bead.
Thirdly, i fully agree that underdeveloped 4 or 5 faced Rudrakshas are sold as 1 mukhi but it does not mean that genuine beads do not exist.
Fourthly, there are 2 ways to look at the CT scan proof
1. Rudrakshas have been worn for thousands of years on the number of mukhas which are seen externally. Not one of the ancient texts mentions that a rudraksha has to be pried open and the number of loculli have to be counted(assuming there was no Xray vision). So I don't think it is neccessary every time to go for an Xray or scan.
2. Assuming there are as many loculli as the mukhas on the rudraksha they might be underdeveloped if the mukhas are very close to each other or the size of the rudraksha is small and the number of mukhas are more. So there is no point to go on harping on this issue that there should be as many loculli as the mukhas.
So if this law is applied to one mukhi then it should be applied to all the rudrakshas. Thereby the rare rudrakshas like 21 mukhi will be rejected even though they are genuine .
I have answered to the extent of my knowledge. Thanks once again for asking clarification.
Now,about your comments about 2 mukhi Rudraksha...
1. I have not said anywhere in my posting that the so called flat two mukhi rudraksha is Bhadraksha. I am aware that Bhadraksha is a different species altogether.
2.You might also have read about more than 300 species of Elaeocarpus species all over the world. Some of the beads resemble Rudraksha outwardly but they cannot be called Rudraksha just because they belong to the same family.
In your earlier post you have mentioned about the number of loculli inside the Rudraksha.. then you should be aware that this flat 2 mukhi rudraksha has only one seed inside it. Same is the case with cashew shaped one mukhi rudraksha.
The type of cleavages are completely different than those on Elaeocarpus ganitrus.Also,the hole found in the ganitrus variety is absent over here.Moreover, if these rudrakshas had the same potency like 2 mukhi rudraksha from nepal, they would have been equally priced. These flat rudrakshas are available at a throw away price as compared to the original piece from Nepal.
I think this authorisation from RBG London may be used by Rudraksha traders to sell these bogus beads to people as placebos.
Hope I've been able to clear your doubts.
Hello ,
I agree to you that the the rule saying number of clefts= to number of locules . However I need to know one thing from you that I got 1 mukhi round Nepali not very big not very small ...on x-ray report it shows 2 locules clearly . As I have mentioned it has 1 cleft and 2 locules so what do you think about it . Pls reply
If you have read my earlier posts, I have refuted the insistence on number of locules inside the rudraksha seen after Xray for identification of the external mukhas.
If you have observed the bead minutely and do not detect any tampering, and if you are able to discern that it is a rudraksha bead and nothing else, then you should be proud about owning a 1 mukha rudraksha.
:)
