About Rudraksha

Overview

You must’ve seen sages and grandparents chanting mantras on a Rudraksha Mala with closed eyes. Many people even wear a Rudraksha bracelet to be surrounded by the bead’s energy and attract happiness. While we couldn’t understand the relevance as kids, this article will dive deep into the significance of an original Rudraksha and how it can positively influence your life. 

Rudraksha, made up of the Sanskrit words “Rudra” (Lord Shiva”) and “Aksha” (Eye), is a sacred bead with deep-rooted significance across many cultures. Legends say that Shiva’s tears fell on the ground and birthed the tear-shaped Rudraksha Ratna. The myth is why many call an original Rudraksha a physical manifestation of Shiva’s energy.   

A question many people ask is, “What is Rudraksha?” A Real Rudraksha is a seed of the tree Elaeocarpus Ganitrus, found in the Himalayan and Southeast Asian regions. But it’s not just a bead. It’s a beautiful blend of divine energies that want you to become the best version of yourself. Or you can say it’s a bridge between the Earth and the divine. 

Chanting Japa on a Rudraksha Mala or wearing a Rudraksha bracelet harmonizes the Ajna chakra, or the third eye, opening your mind to spiritual experiences that strengthen you inside out. You can buy Rudraksha online from trusted sellers and initiate an inner transformation from the comfort of your home. 

Let’s dig deep into the different facets of an original Rudraksha.

Who Should Wear Rudraksha?

Who Should Wear Rudraksha Beads?

The blessings of Rudraksha don’t discriminate based on caste, class, geography, sex, place of birth, dominant ruling planets, or any other category. Anyone who wants to explore their spiritual purpose or initiate a positive transformation can wear Rudraksha. Children, women, men, senior citizens, and every other human being can revel in the blessings of Rudraksha. 

How to Wear Rudraksha Beads?

A Rudraksha mala, usually with 108 beads, is a powerful tool. Be it mantra chanting or meditation, it helps you align with the divine forces and get closer to achieving a state of absolute bliss. 

Many people ask, “Which Rudraksha should I wear?” Every type of bead in the wide selection of Rudraksha corresponds to a specific benefit. For example, the One Mukhi Rudraksha is associated with clarity of mind and self-realization, while the Five Mukhi Rudraksha enhances focus and concentration. 

When you buy a Rudraksha bracelet, it has already passed through multiple hands. And because it’s a powerful energy absorbent, you need to purify and energize it to start the transformation from a clean slate. Here’s a step-by-step process of how to wear Rudraksha:

  • Dip your Rudraksha beads in a mixture of ghee, gangajal, and full-fat milk for 24 hours.
  • Wash the stone under tap water and use a soft-bristle brush to clean it off any dust particles. Pat it dry with a soft cloth.
  • Wear it on a Monday morning while chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” at least 11 times
  • Light a few incense sticks and apply sandalwood paste. Wear it in the presence of a Shiv Linga or the deity’s picture while offering white flowers and chanting the Shiva mantra. 
  • Repeat this purification process once every six months to rid the beads of negative energy. 

Rudraksha Wearing Rules:

Rudraksha has a powerful presence in your life. And any half-hearted efforts or a lack of respect for the power can be problematic for you. 

Here are a few Rudraksha wearing rules you must remember when wearing it- 

  • Wear the beads for 40 days to notice their impact. If you don’t notice any change, there’s a high probability you don’t have an original Rudraksha bracelet.
  • Keep the Rudraksha bracelet on you as much as you can. The more it touches your body, the better. But if the hot texture of beads makes you uncomfortable, remove it for some time. 
  • Don’t expose the beads to chemical soaps or boiling water. It affects the beads’ longevity. 
  • Make sure you wear it in the morning hours. 
  • Don’t exchange your Rudraksha beads with anyone else, no matter how close you are to them. 
  • Avoid using a copper vessel for the purification process, as it oxidizes milk products. 
  • Don’t wear Rudraksha on funeral grounds to avoid getting affected by unwanted energies. 
  • Some experts suggest not wearing Rudraksha while you sleep as an uncontrolled mind coupled with the bead’s energy can be chaotic. Others have found it helpful in encouraging sound sleep. So, do what works for you.  
  • For a Rudraksha pendant, silver and gold are suitable metal choices.  

Types and Origin

There are 4 types of Rudraksha based on origin- Nepal, Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka. From these 4, Nepali and Indonesian Rudraksha penetrate the majority market and are considered powerful and transformative. 

Nepali Rudraksha

Nepali Rudraksha, grown in the divine Kailash Parbat, justifies its spiritual aura. These beads, ranging up to 32 mm in size, exude a commanding presence. Its deep, dark brown color highlights an invisible but powerful connection to Lord Shiva’s heavenly abode. The distinctly visible Mukhis, or faces, prove Nepali Rudraksha’s authenticity and purity. The large and heavy beads make for a perfect fit for the majestic Kantha Mala.  

Indonesia Rudraksha

Indonesia Rudraksha beads are smaller than Nepali Rudraksha and exhibit an impressive subtle elegance. For a Rudraksha Mala, original Indonesian Rudraksha’s light and warm beads are perfect as they are small and light in weight. 

Indian Rudraksha

Indian Rudraksha is primarily present in the Himalayan region. Indian beads have a distinctive appeal with contribution from the geographical diversity of Rudraksha trees, from Assam to Rameshwaram. Typically, the Indian Rudraksha variety doesn’t exceed 6 Mukhis, making its likeability and distribution limited.  

Sri Lankan Rudraksha

Sri Lankan Rudraksha beads share similarities with Nepali and Indonesian varieties, exhibiting a mix of lighter and darker hues. Its limited availability makes it less popular than the Nepalese or Indonesian varieties.

Types of Rudraksha Beads: 

There are plenty of Rudraksha varieties available in nature, each varying in the number of vertical lines(Mukhi) on its surface. The Rudraksha Mukhi decides its ruling planet and God.
