Namaste All,
As far as Rudraksha beads go, there are beads which have between 1 and 21 faces (segments). Generally, the five-faced beads are recommended for japa.

Namaste all,
I am wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this or if there are any scriptural verses about this? I am curious because I just ordered a rudraksha mala from the Himalayan Academy and I am planning on using it for both Lord Krishna japa and Lord Shiva japa. I know that rudraksha malas are associated with Lord Shiva, but I wasn't aware that there would be potential problems if I used it for Vaishnava mantra japa as well.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Jai Sri Krishna
It's absolutely fine to chant vaishnava mantras with rudrakshas. Rudraksha is a universal mala that can be used for all mantras.
Namaste Sahasranama,
Thanks for that. I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the mala, as it will be my first. Since I won't be able to have a priest bless it, I'll just recite these mantras: http://www.sharanya.org/articles/mantras/mala.php4
Jai Sri Krishna
Do anybody know what is ment by:"Rudraksh" ?
Rudraksha means the eye of Rudra, because it's believed that Rudra cried and the tears fell on the earth, from the tears grew the Rudraksha tree.
Rudra is Shiva.
