The Shanmukha Shape
Lord Kartikeya, Shiva’s son and the commander of the celestial army, is known for his six faces, called Shanmukha. The 6 Mukhi Rudraksha’s six natural lines are said to carry this same warrior energy, sharpening decision making and giving the wearer strength to face difficult situations head on.
Ruled by Venus, it also softens this strength with charm, artistic sensibility, and ease in relationships, making it a favourite among performers, creatives, and public figures.
Every 6 Mukhi Rudraksha at Shaastree is lab certified by Arihant Gems Testing Lab (AGTL), so you always know exactly what you’re wearing.

How to Identify an Original Piece
Fakes are common in this category. Here is what sets a genuine 1 Mukhi apart.
Genuine beads have six distinct, naturally-formed lines running from top to bottom, evenly spaced around the bead. Filed or sanded lines look artificially sharp and uniform.
Ask for a lab or X-ray certification report confirming the six lines are natural growth marks, not man-made cuts.
Surface should have a natural, slightly rough texture with visible pores. Overly glossy or dyed beads, common with this popular Mukhi, are usually treated.
Always buy from sellers who provide an authenticity certificate with each individual piece, since 6 Mukhi is widely sold and frequently misrepresented.
How to Wear Your Pendant
Wash it before you wear it
Rinse the rudraksha in clean water or Gangajal before first wear; some soak it briefly in raw milk to purify, then air dry.
Recite the beej mantra
Chant "Om Hreem Hroum Namah Shivaya" 11 or 108 times while wearing it; simple "Om Namah Shivaya" also works if unsure.
Wear it close to the chest
Wear around the neck or wrist, strung on a red or yellow thread; can also be mounted in silver or gold for durability.
Remove it for sleep or Not
Generally fine to keep it on while sleeping if it's on a strong thread. Remove if you are doing something impure.
