Wearing rudraksha as per the Rashi and as per the Birth nakshatra are the two general purpose methods of selecting rudraksha beads. Over the time your trust in rudraksha will become strong in you and you may consider wearing full mala of certain Mukhi of rudraksha for e.g. wearing a full mala of Nepal beads having 5 mukhi beads so that you can experience the deeper vibrations and power of those specific mukhis.
You might also prefer wearing a mala which has all the mukhis of rudraksha in it. These mala have rudraksha from 1 mukhi till 14 mukhi including Gauri Shankar and Ganesha rudraksha. We call it rudraksha siddha mala. Here are some advantages of wearing rudraksha siddha mala.
