In Hindu religion, Gods and Goddesses are shown decorated and wearing jewellery. Mahadev, the God of Gods, is also known for his unique form. The appearance of Lord Shiva is considered mysterious. He wears different types of things on himself. This form of Shiva also has a special meaning. According to Shivpuran, whatever Lord Shiva wears on his body, there is some secret hidden behind it. Shiva wears trident, hair, snake, moon, mundamala etc. Lord Shiva wears a garland of Mund around his neck. Very few people know the story behind this.

It is said that the garland of head is the gift of Mother Sati. Which is worn by Lord Shiva. It was Shiva who told Sati Mata the secret of wearing Mundamala. This garland around Shiva’s neck has 108 ends. Once Narada Muni asked Sati Mata that if Lord Shankar loves you the most then why does he have a garland of tonsils around his neck? On the instigation of Narad Muni, Sati Mata stubbornly demanded from Lord Shiva to know the secret of the rosary. When Sati did not agree after much persuasion, then Shiva told her that all the heads in this Mund rosary are yours. Shivji said that this is your 108th birth. Even before, you have taken birth 107 times and left your body. These heads are the symbol of those births. The Mundamala symbolizes that Shiva has controlled death. According to the Puranas, this Mundamala is also a symbol of the love of Shiva and Sati.

After knowing the secret of wearing Mundamala, Sati Mata said to Shiva that I sacrifice my body again and again but you do not renounce then Shiva told her that I have knowledge of Amarkatha, hence I should not sacrifice my body again and again. Does matter.
Sati also expressed her desire to hear Amarkatha from Shiva. When Shiva was narrating the story to Sati, mother fell asleep in the middle. Due to this she could not listen to the entire story. And she could not become immortal. And she committed suicide by jumping into the yagya of her father King Daksh. After Sati’s self-immolation, Lord Shankar created 51 Peethas from her body parts, but Shiva entwined Sati’s head in his garland. In this way, Shiva completed the rosary of 108 Munds and wore it. However later, Sati was next born as Parvati. In this birth, Parvati attained immortality and then she did not have to leave her body. The amazing love of Lord Shiva and Sati is described in the scriptures. The proof of this is Sati’s self-immolation by jumping into the Yagya Kund and the orgy of angry Shiva carrying Sati’s dead body. However, this was also Shiva’s leela because on this pretext Shiva wanted to establish 51 Shakti Peethas.

The person wearing it always remains blessed by Shiva. This original lookalike unusual Munda mala is given by us with unusual mantras. According to Hinduism, Munda mala characterizes the fearsome aspects of Hindu goddess Maha Kali and Lord Shiva, while in Buddhism, it is associated with Tibetan Buddhism. Worn by angry gods. This rosary is mainly used for “chanting” of Goddess Kali and Lord Shiva. In Mahakaleshwar Jyotirling also during Bhasma Aarti, Mundmal is offered in replica form on Shivling.
