A seven mukhi represents Mahalakshmi and a four mukhi represents Saraswati. Which mukhi represents Kali Maa?
• Could Rudraksha beads be used for Narasimha mantras, and Ganesha/Lakshmi mantras? Yes. More traditional would be a tulasi mala, but followers of Shiva and Shakti can definitely use rudraksha. • Is it forbidden to eat meat when using Rudraksha? Is the question, “At the same time,” or “While wearing?” Generally, there are vegetarians and non-vegetarians. There is nothing “Forbidden.” It is just a question of the practices one observes. Vaishnavas forbid. Shaivites and Shaktis request us to use our discrimination. • Recently I started wearing a “Panchamukhi” Rudraksha in my neck. As I am not a brahmachari, I would like to know whether should I remove it during the ‘unholy time’. There is nothing that you would want to do that you would not like Shiva to see. Make your actions a holy offering.
