Rudraksha, the name itself tells a tale-"Rudra" means Shiva and "Aksha" means tears. According to Vedic scriptures, Rudraksha beads were formed from the divine tears of Lord Shiva, shed during deep meditation or compassion for humanity.
Revered as sacred beads, they are believed to carry the divine energy of Lord Shiva. Across different cultures, Rudraksha is cherished for its power to balance energy, ward off negativity and promote harmony, purity, protection and spiritual growth.
Our Vedic scriptures Shiv Puran, Devi Bhagavat Puran and Padma Puran, among others, highlight its sacredness and spiritual power and emphasize its ability to protect the wearer, enhance spiritual growth and balance energies. Rudraksha is also a symbol of devotion, a means to attain higher consciousness, to invoke Shiva's blessings, promote inner peace and a remedy for physical and mental well-being.
CONNECTION WITH NUMBERS AND PLANETS
Each type of Rudraksha is associated with a number (1 to 9) and its corresponding ruling planet, influencing the wearer's energy, personality and life circumstances.
