Nag Sawar Nepali NS-010

Description

The Sawar Rudraksha is a highly revered and rare Rudraksha bead, distinct for its unique natural formation. It’s considered exceptionally auspicious and potent due to its unusual structure.

The most defining characteristic of a Sawar Rudraksha is that it consists of two Rudraksha beads naturally joined together, where one of the beads has a single face (1 Mukhi), and the other can have multiple faces (mukhis). This natural fusion gives it a very distinct appearance, sometimes described as one bead “riding” or “being carried” by the other, or resembling a “Naag” (snake) formation.

Meaning and Symbolism:

Union of Consciousness and Matter: The natural fusion of two beads, particularly with one being a 1 Mukhi (representing Lord Shiva and ultimate consciousness), symbolizes the union of Shiva and Shakti, or consciousness and matter. This is believed to bring harmony and balance.

Divine Blessings of Lord Shiva: As the 1 Mukhi is associated with Lord Shiva, the Sawar Rudraksha is believed to attract immense blessings from the supreme deity, representing transformation, destruction (of negativity), and creation.

Overcoming Obstacles: Similar to the Ganesh Rudraksha, the Sawar is highly regarded for its ability to help the wearer overcome hurdles and challenges in life.

Spiritual and Material Prosperity: It’s believed to bestow both spiritual growth and material abundance, signifying success in all aspects of life.

Rarity and Power: Its rarity contributes to its high demand and perceived power, making it a sought-after bead for serious practitioners and devotees.
