The Powers and Benefits of Rudraksha

What is a Rudraksha?

Rudraksha fruitRudraksha is a natural seed of the blue fruit of the evergreen tree Elaeocarpus ganitrus, also simply known as the Rudraksha tree, indigenous to the Himalayas and found in Nepal, India and other parts of Southeast Asia.

In Sanskrit, the plural of Rudraksha is Rudraksham. The name literally means “the tears of God”, specifically, the god, Shiva. It is said, while contemplating the world’s suffering, Shiva unexpectedly began to cry tears of compassion. As his tears fell to Earth, he transformed them to seeds…for the benefit of those seeking freedom from suffering and union with the Divine.

Hindus and Buddhists alike revere Rudraksham as “holy beads”, which confer peace, power and protection. Traditionally, Rudraksham are worn as necklaces, bracelets, and pendants and used for meditation. According to ancient tradition, when made into a prayer rosary — known as a mala —the quantity of beads strung together is some multiple of 9, with 108 being the optimal amount.

Rudraksha have many faces; what is easily missed on first glance is that there is a variety of Rudraksha beads which can be discerned by counting the clefts on the surface of the bead that run from top to bottom. These divisions are called ‘mukhis’ or ‘faces’.

The most common bead is the 5-faced Rudraksha. The variety of Rudraksham ranges from 1- 23 faces or mukhis, the greater the number of faces of a bead, the more rare and special the bead.

Each ‘face’ or ‘mukhi’ is known to have a specific powers and influence on the soul and the life.

Within the community of saints, Rudraksham are considered sacred soul jewelry because they have the power to influence, evolve and protect your life on the deepest level, the soul. The soul grows only through high, peaceful, divine vibrations. Soul jewelry are power objects that transmit these vibrations. This knowledge of the use of natural & supernatural power objects belongs to the soul sciences of ancient India recorded in 3000 year old palm leaf books that guide on the highest path to oneness and supreme health— physically, mentally and spiritually.
