His interest is in the study of Rudraksh and that’s why he works under the title of “Rudraksh Jyotish.” In July 2020, he was conferred with honorary title of “GURU” by Prixton Church and University, Germany than the Indonesian varieties. Both in astrology and spirituality, when anybody wears a Nepal variety it shall take maximum one week to act upon the wearer while the Indonesian varieties may take two weeks (double the time). If a higher faced Nepal Rudraksha like sixteen faced Rudraksha would take 2-3 days to have any impact, the same Rudraksha of Indonesian variety shall take one week (double the time) to have its impact on the wearer. Besides, the cost of the Indonesian variety is much lesser than the Nepal variety. Anybody can also wear these varieties in a mixed form to get the best benefits with affordable costs. Normally, one-faced Rudraksha is found in the older Rudraksha trees which are capable of delivering many rare and higher faced Rudraksha. In case of Nepal’s one-faced Rudraksha, as it is a little bigger, few textures are found. Often these textures are compared with Shiv ling, Serpent, Trident (Trisula). Even if these textures, appear like this, these textures have no additional impact on the wearer. In his coffeetable book “Rudraksha: The Mystic Seed” (2010), K.T. Subhakaran has given many Rudrakshas with such textures of various Gods and Goddesses of Hindu mythology. It is also advised by many to worship onefaced Rudraksha by keeping it in puja place. Eventually, no Rudraksha can deliver its results if not worn. Only by wearing the Rudraksha, it shall add its frequency to the body. It can be thought in the way that Rudraksha as a fruit and seed needs a body to grow. Hence, the Rudraksha shall grow in the human body after wearing it.

The Rudraksha Jabal Upanisad
AUM NAMO BHAGAVATE RUDRAAYA. One-faced Rudraksha is the least seen and worn Rudraksha. The biggest myth associated with it is that it is round shaped bead and extremely rare. Hence, to get a round shaped one-faced Rudraksha it may take a lot of years. The fact is no round shaped one-faced Rudraksha is found till date. Those round-shaped onefaced Rudraksha are the manipulated beads or artificial beads. A five faced Rudraksha can be turned into a round shaped one-faced Rudraksha after closing all its furrows of faces. However, an overt view of this Rudraksha shall exactly be pentagonal, not round. The Kaju Dana (Cashew Nut) or Ardha Chandrakaar (HalfMoon Shaped) Rudraksha, found in Haridwar and Rameswaram of India, are also said to be one-faced Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus tuberculatus Roxb). They are not even Rudraksha as they are not from the tree of Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb. They are said to be Bhadraaksh (no natural hole) with no properties of Rudraksha. These beads, however, have some medicinal properties; but lack any frequency which can affect the Chakra of the wearer. The most common one-faced Rudraksha found in the world are the Indonesian varieties. They are half-elliptical, oval, and small. Spiritual masters imply it with the shape of Shiva Netra. In Indonesia, it is also known as “Jinetra”. The same variety of Nepal are rarely found. The Nepal varieties are a little bit larger than the Indonesian varieties. It is a rumour that the Indonesian varieties shall not work like the Nepal varieties. In fact, Indonesian varieties have the same frequencies like those of Nepal varieties and the wearer of both the varieties have got the same results. The only difference is Nepal varieties works quicker June 2021
One-faced Rudraksha is said to be the Shiva himself. It is compared with the third eye of Shiva (Shivanetra). Persons who want to get the drop of spirituality, shall only wear this Rudraksha. In astrological term this is associated with planet Sun. In the book “The Power of Rudraksha” by Kamal Narayan Seetha it is also mentioned so. Interestingly, there is no scriptural reference showing that one-faced Rudraksha is associated with Sun. Only twelve-faced Rudraksha is used for Sun. Few recent researchers on Rudraksha 28
