Who Kalagni Rudra is
Kalagni Rudra is Shiva as the fire of time — the form that dissolves everything at the end of an age so that it can begin again.
The 5 Mukhi is his bead and the most common Rudraksha of all. It is the bead used for japa malas, the one most people wear first, and the one the texts say anyone can wear. Because there are so many, size and surface matter more than rarity.
