Who should wear 16 Mukhi Rudraksha?

How to wear and energize 16 Mukhi Rudraksha

• Wear on a Monday morning after a bath
• Thread in silk, red thread, silver or gold
• Energize by chanting «Om Namah Shivaya» 108 times (or the bead's beej mantra)

• Keep it clean; remove during sleep and impure activities if you prefer

Real vs fake — checking 16 Mukhi Rudraksha

Genuine rudraksha has natural, clearly-defined faces (mukhi lines), an uneven surface and firm weight. Beware of machine-carved or glued fakes. Buy from a trusted source; a genuine bead may come with a lab certificate. A real 16 Mukhi Rudraksha sinks or stays neutral in water and does not have artificially perfect lines.

Care: avoid harsh chemicals, oil it occasionally, and re-energize periodically.
