It also represents the four aspects of the mind, namely Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (memory), and Ahamkara (ego). The 4 Mukhi Rudraksha is the manifestation of Mercury, which is the ruling planet of this Rudraksha and can harness extensive creative knowledge and use it to transform the wearer with a new personality.

Story about the presiding deity:

Hindu mythology claims Lord Brahma was assigned the process of creation. He is represented with four arms and has four heads with a ruddy complexion. His hands hold the Vedas, a Mala, a Sruva (a ladle) and a Kamandal. In his concept of creation, the world exists for one Kalpa in the single blink of his eyes. One Kalpa means 2,160,000,000 years in the ancient Vedic calendar. Lord Shiva showed Lord Brahma his Ardhanareeshwar form so that both masculine and feminine principles could be created to ensure a continuous cycle of balanced creation. It is believed that after every Kalpa there is dissolution and the process of creation begins again.

From his knowledge, Brahma also created a powerful weapon called Brahmaastra. Once a warrior invoked this weapon, it had to be used. So powerful were its effects that whoever it touched would cease to exist and all life forms or the existing land would turn barren thereby finishing any creative force that could further any semblance of existence.

Lord Brahma is the soul of the Vedas who blesses with higher intellect while illuminating the mind. Wearing the 4 Mukhi gives access to the right, relevant knowledge that beautifies the intellect making it shine with creative ideas.
