The 15 Mukhi Rudraksha (Pandrah Mukhi Rudraksha) is a very rare bead that represents Lord Pashupatinath, a form of Lord Shiva as the lord of all animals. Marked by fifteen lines (mukhis) on its face, it shares many of the benefits of the Fourteen Mukhi Rudraksha and is prized for its very high healing power. Highly auspicious, it is believed to free the wearer from bondage (pasha) and support the attainment of moksha within one’s lifetime.
As described in mythology: “If anyone drinks milk boiled with a fifteen-faced Rudraksha, it fills the person with clear thoughts and direction.”
