Rudraksha in Sanskrit means Lord Shiva’s teardrops that dribbled from his eyes out of joy, fell on Earth, and became seeds that grew into Rudraksha trees. That’s why Rudraksha is considered so sacred.
The Rudraksha tree usually grows at high altitudes in the mountains, mainly in the Himalayan range. Rudraksha beads are mostly sourced from Nepal, Burma, and Indonesia. Although they are found in some parts of the Western Ghats in South India, the best-quality ones come from certain altitudes in the Himalayas because the soil, air, water, and surrounding environment influence their quality.
Rudraksha seeds have unique vibrations that shield against negative energies, cleanse the aura, and bring happiness, success, and prosperity to the wearer.
Rudraksha has natural surface markings called Mukhis or facets, ranging from 1 to 21. Each Mukhi Rudraksha holds its own unique reverberation, significance, and benefits.
Rudraksha comes in different Mukhis (faces), ranging from 1 Mukhi to 21 Mukhi. Each Mukhi Rudraksha has its own significance and benefits.
Rudraksha is known to possess immense power to heal all the ills and misfortunes in one’s life. It is worn for good luck, good health, prosperity and spirituality.
