Rudraksha, also known as rudraksh in Sanskrit (Sanskrit: रूद्राक्ष), translated as "Rudra's [Shiva's] Teardrops," is a seed traditionally used for prayer beads in Hinduism.
Rudraksha beads are seeds from the fruit of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus), which is found mainly in the Himalayan region, as well as in parts of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and other tropical and subtropical areas. The term "Rudraksha" is derived from Sanskrit, where "Rudra" is a name for Lord Shiva, and "Aksha" means eye. Hence, Rudraksha is often translated as "the eyes of Lord Shiva."
These beads are considered sacred in Hinduism and are widely used for prayer and meditation. They are often strung together to form a mala, a string of beads used for counting mantras or prayers. The number of beads in a mala can vary, but it often consists of 108 beads, a sacred number in Hinduism.
Rudraksha beads have distinct facets or "mukhis" on their surface, and the number of these facets can vary, ranging from a single face to multiple faces. Each type of Rudraksha is believed to have its own unique properties and benefits. For example, a five-faced Rudraksha is considered suitable for all-around well-being, while a six-faced Rudraksha is associated with wisdom and success.
Devotees believe that wearing or using Rudraksha beads brings spiritual benefits, including increased concentration, inner peace, and a connection to the divine. The beads are also associated with various chakras and are believed to have healing properties.
It's essential to note that the authenticity of Rudraksha beads is crucial, as there are imitation or fake beads in the market. Genuine Rudraksha beads are typically obtained from trusted sources and are identified based on their size, shape, and the number of facets.
