The 5,6,8 and fourteen faced rudraksha beads are said to bestow wealth. Worshipping rudraksha beads is equivalent to worshipping Lord Shiva himself. Rudraksha is very dear to lord Shiva and hence all the sins of a man get destroyed if he chants the name of Lord Shiva using a Rudraksha beads. He also attain salvation after his death. In Shiv Purana, Rudraksha of specific colours have been prescribed for different castes. Brahmin, a Kshatriya, a Vaishya and a Shudra have been instructed to put on Rudraksha of white colour, red colour, yellow colour and black colour respectively. A person who wears eleven hundred Rudraksha on his body, he unites with Shiva. Rudrakshas are of various types i.e. EKMUKHA RUDRAKSHA to rudraksha with fourteen openings. Each type of rudraksha has specific mantra and specific deity connected with it.
