Fake Rudrakshas

Everyone seems to be saying that they sell original Rudraksha these days. There is no real test which can confirm a real from a fake. However before buying a Rudraksha, ask the dealer to show you a real from a fake and make him explain to you before you consider buying one. This is best done if you can get him to show you the items personally.

Due to the large demand of Rudrakshas, unscrupulous dealers either make them out of resins or have for example a 5 Mukhi tampered to a 9 Mukhi with cut lines done so well that sometimes it is almost impossible to tell from an original. Fake Rudrakshas are also made from 3 different Rudrakshas cut and joined together to make for example a 13 Mukhi.

Good quality Nepalese Rudrakshas are never cheap, prices depends much on the size, quality and origin of the seed itself. Rudrakshas come from many different countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India. The type from Nepal is usually of high quality, the difference can be seen right away when you place a Nepalese and a non Nepalese seed side by side.

If you have to wear a Rudraksha it is better to wear a real 5 Mukhi to a fake 14 Mukhi as fakes do not posses the properties of a real Rudraksha. 5 Mukhis are not expensive even for a very good quality specimen. It beats wearing fakes anytime. Rudrakshas are the symbolic of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is among Gods the easiest to please. He does not require one to go thru difficult task just to please him, simple offerings and having faith in him will do.
