Rudraksha
In Sanskrit, Rudraksha means “Eyes of Shiva” and is empowered with
mystical, spiritual and medicinal powers that enhance the well being
of the wearer. The beads also impart astrological benefits and it is
believed that the wearer of Rudraksha is always untouched by sins,
impious thoughts and deeds. The powers of Rudraksha are associated
with the number of mukhi (the clefts and furrows) or faces the beads
have. The Rudraksha bead can have a number of faces ranging from
1-38. The most common one is the 5-faced or Panchmukhi Rudraksha and
the rarest one is 1-face or Ekmukhi Rudraksha. Rudraksha comes in
four shades of fair, light brown, dark brown and black.
Scientific Research on Rudraksha
Ancient and contemporary Asian texts state
extensively about the beneficial healing powers of Rudraksha bead. In
recent times, the Rudraksha bead has gained significance again as a
mode of healing and also as a fashion accessory.
In recent years, scientific studies have been undertaken in India to determine the extent and mechanism of the healing powers of Rudraksha. One of the best known research papers was published by Dr. Subhas Rai of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras, India. Dr. Rai's research confirmed that as scripted in the ancient scriptures, Rudraksha beads do possess powerful electromagnetic, paramagnetic and inductive properties. The healing powers of the Rudraksha bead are derived from such properties. Blood circulation and heart beats automatically induce a magnetic field around the body and particularly the heart region. Accordingly, a balancing force is exerted on the heart to regulate it if it starts beating above or below normal rates. This action helps to ensure ideal blood circulation in the body. Depending upon the polarity and intensity of the induced magnetic field, Rudraksha beads transmit subtle electrical and inductive impulses with opposing polarity and intensity. When Rudraksha beads are placed over the heart, they act to stabilize the heart beat. Thus, the stated beneficial effects of the Rudraksha bead have been proved scientifically as well. Origins and Myths
The word Rudraksha has its
etymological beginnings in the Sanskrit words "Rudra" and "Aksha"
meaning Lord Shiva and Teardrops respectively.
According to "Shiva Purana", Lord Shiva once went into deep meditation for the well being of all living creatures. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and tear drops fell on the Earth. These tear drops took the form of seeds that later on became the Rudraksha tree. The Shaivite sect of Hinduism has a story about Shiva shedding a tear on viewing the misfortunes of humanity. That single tear became the Rudraksha tree and a symbol of his compassion. Another tale about Rudraksha tells about Lord Shiva destroying the fortress of the demon "Tripurasur". Lord Shiva had to use a very powerful weapon - "Aaghor" to kill Tripurasur. This weapon created mayhem and destructed everything. On realising the hapless plight of living beings, tears fell from Lord Shiva's eyes in compassion. Thus, Rudraksha tree was formed. Rudraksha literally stands for the eyes of Shiva implying that since it was pleasant to the eyes of Rudra, it was named in his honor. Lord Shiva is always portrayed wearing rosaries of Rudraksha beads on his head, arms and hands. With this came the religious, spiritual, physical and materialistic significance of Rudraksha. It is believed that the seed of Rudraksha contains the secrets of entire evolution of the cosmos within it. The sages have been wearing Rudraksha for centuries to cultivate mental, physical and health prowess to attain fearlessness on their spiritual path to enlightenment. According to "Shiv Purana", it is said that the one who wears a Rudraksha around his hands, arms and head cannot be killed by a living being. He would fearlessly roam the world in the form of Rudra and be respected and honored by all. Botanical Description of Rudraksha
