Shiva Om Dear Friend,

You are absolutely free to wear two 5 faced Rudraksha Mala’s at the same time provided each Mala is complete in terms of the number of beads acceptable to the Shastra’s. By this I mean that a single Mala should have 108 + 1 ( Sumeru / Guru bead ) or then 54 +1 or 27 + 1. None of the beads in either of the Mala’s should be chipped,  cracked or broken.

You can also have a combination of One of the Mala’s having Nepal beads while the other Mala having Indonesian beads.

Further, in one of the Mala’s you could have a Mala which has 109 beads while the other is 28 beads or any other such combination.

Most of the people do not wear two Mala’s only because they find it cumbersome. However, there is no rule which bars anybody from wearing multiple Rudraksha Mala’s. As long as you are comfortable and you continue to have unflinching faith in these Mala’s you are absolutely free to continue wearing both of them.

I earnestly hope that this humble Blog has been both meaningful and useful to you.

Shivam Kalyanam,
