17 Mukhi Rudraksha

The 17 Mukhi Rudraksha is blessed by Lord Vishwakarma.

Lord Vishwakarma is the celestial architect who is the mystical builder of many celestial kingdoms and weapons. He is an expert in crafting with creativity and splendour. Scriptures state that this Rudraksha can make the wearer wealthy in a short span of time. The wearer gets sudden wealth and heightened spiritual powers as per texts. This wealth can flow in from unexpected sources or occurrence. It could be an unexpected inheritance, sudden increase in the price of equity or mutual funds, increase in the value of existing property, or through games of chances where fortune favours you. As per Katyayani Tantra the 17 Mukhi Rudraksha is Goddess Katyayani herself. This Rudraksha gives all the 4 attainments. The wearer experiences Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Thus the 17 Mukhi Rudraksha is graced by both these divine energies. The Vishwakarma Gayatri invokes him as follows

Om Vishwaroopaayae Vidmahe

Vishwakarma is the creator of the architectural splendour of the golden city of Lanka. What was originally designed for Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati was eventually given to the Asura King Ravana as Dakshina. When lord Shiva reduced Kamdev to ashes with the fire emitted from his third eye it is Lord Vishwakarma who collected the ashes and made a doll with it. Lord Shiva breathed life into this to give rise to the mighty Bhanda (Bhandasura). When the radiance of Suryadev was too much for his wife to bear lord Vishwakarma collects the excess to craft celestial weapons from them thereby making Surya’s radiance bearable.

The splendour of magnificent architecture or creativity with a purpose is the blessing of Lord Vishwakarma. The 17 Mukhi Rudraksha encases this magical blessing.
