A Nine Faced Rudraksha

The representing deity is Aadhya Shakti Maa.

It helps in cultivating patience, controlling unnecessary anger and a feeling of non fear. The malefic effects of Ketu are controlled by this bead. Effects of Ketu are similar to those of Rahu and Saturn described above. Also helps in mastering foreign languages, and boosting vocabulary.

Very dear to Maa Shakti and worn by the Devi Bhaktas.

• The Nine Faced bead should be worn on an auspicious day in an auspicious constellation strung in a white thread while chanting any of the mantras described above. Alternatively it should be worn in a Gold Chain. But Sages advise to wear it in a white thread.
  
  

• Generally individuals do not wear it on the body but keep it in a Gold/Silver box after applying a tilak of Kumkum/Vermillion on it. It is passed on from one generation to the another and is indicative of the good fortune of the family.
