The 6 Mukhi Rudraksha balances the head and the heart. Ruled by Kartikeya, the warrior son of Shiva, and the planet Venus, it combines willpower and discipline with charm, grace and emotional steadiness. It is a wonderfully versatile bead — grounding for the restless, motivating for the distracted, and softening for the harsh. Here is the complete guide from our Jayanagar rudraksha desk.
