Moon in the tradition

The Moon — Chandra — is the mind itself in Jyotish: mood, memory, sleep and the bond with the mother. A troubled Moon is read as restlessness more than misfortune.

Four very different beads share it. The 2 Mukhi is a single bead given to Ardhanarishvara. The Gauri Shankar is two beads grown naturally joined; the Garbha Gauri is a joined pair with one bead noticeably smaller, read as mother and child. The 20 Mukhi is rare and its planet is not agreed on.

Common questions

Which Rudraksha is worn for Moon?

Traditionally 2 Mukhi, 20 Mukhi, Gauri Shankar and Garbha Gauri. Which one suits you depends on your chart and on what you intend the bead for, so treat this as a starting point rather than a prescription.

Which mantra is chanted with these beads?

Each bead has its own beej mantra. 2 Mukhi: Om Namah; 20 Mukhi: Om Hreem Hum Namah; Gauri Shankar: Om Gauri Shankaraya Namah; Garbha Gauri: Om Vam Shreem Hreem Hum Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.

Do I need my birth chart before choosing?

Not necessarily. Many people choose by intention rather than by planet. If you do want the astrological route, an astrologer working from your own chart will give you a better answer than a category page can.

These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
