Rudraksh is formed by association of two words, 'RUDRA' and 'AKSHA" . Rudra is the name of Lord Shiva. Aksha
means 'tear'. It is said that the plant of Rudraksh is originated from the tear drops of Lord Shiva. As per the vedic
scriptures. Rudraksh can nullify the effects of malefic planets to a great extent. Shastras say Rudraksh of any mukhis
can never do any harm to the wearer unlike Navratnas, which have to be carefully chosen. No other necklace or
bead is so auspicious and powerful as Rudraksh.
Rudraksh come in different mukhis or the clefts or furrows on the surface. Shastras speak of 1 to 38 mukhis but
normally 1 to 14 mukhis are used for astrological benefits. Each bead has a different effect on you, depending on the
number of mukhis it has. Each Rudraksh is very individualistic and has to be carefully matched with one's horoscope
for it to be beneficial.
Tantra Yantra Mantra has a very important place for Rudraksh. Vedas have given special weightage to Rudraksh, as it
is believed that rudraksh has originated from the tears of lord Shiva. Rudraksh have tremendous energy and power.
Rudraksh is best known for its biomedical properties and in controlling stress, hypertension and blood pressure.
Rudraksh is available mainly in Nepal and Malaysia.

important that Rudraksh should always be respected and kept pure. One should not touch it with dirty hands and
must be removed before entering the toilets. It is a blessing to mankind. It is believed that one who wear Rudraksh
on their bodies, cannot be affected by sins. Even if, one wears Rudraksh on his body, without doing worship and
saying the sacred mantra, does no get near any sinful deed or thought.
The Rudraksh are worn for their specific benefits. These are much more powerful and can help achieve wonders, if
energized and empowered the right way. Rudraksh of different mukhis pleases the corresponding planets. It may be
sufficient to go in for only for those mukhis whose ruling planets, cause malefic effects.

Tests for a Genuine Rudraksha
To meet the ever increasing demand of different faceted beads, traders have started manufacturing rarely faceted
beads such as the one faced Rudraksha body (The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha). Read more about such practices and
artificial price rise in the Faq section here..
Beads of Arecanut, Nutmeg or Tulsi are used to fashion Rudraksha Beads. In such circumstances the individual who
wants to buy a genuine Rudraksha is in a quandry. There are two full proof methods of testing a genuine Rudraksha:
a. Break the bead, see if the Rudraksha seeds are present therein and send the bead for a chemical analysis.
The Chemical properties of the beads have been given in the Chemical composition of the Rudraksha beads.
b. The other is to find out whether the beads exhibit properties like inductance, capacitance, conduction of
electric current etc.
The test wherein the Rudraksha Bead dips in water (commonly known as water test) is not scientifically dependable
because:
a. Some traders dehydrate the beads so that they sink in water.
b. Secondly all beads and seeds denser than water sink.
Still it is one of the most popular methods to test the beads and many times gives accurate results.
The copper coin test
It is generally held that if Rudraksha beads are placed between two copper coins it should rotate slightly. This is due
to the physical and magnetic properties of the Rudraksha beads. This test requires a high level of expertise. If you are

At least they are original and have the same physical, chemical and magnetic properties of the round bead. The rest
of the beads are comparatively easily available.

Rudraksha trees. Lord Siva has many aspects indicated by His 1,008 names Lord Siva is responsible for creation,
evolution and dissolution. Lord Siva dances creation out of existence at the end of time and then after an

The Sun, The Moon and the Life Force. Anything good and auspicious, anything that keeps us healthy and happy and
anything that helps us attain freedom from pain and misery is Rudra.

The Rudraksha Mala/Rudraksha Rosary has been used since time immemorial by Yogis to attain Siddhi (special
occult powers) and the grace of God. Rudraksha bead is a bead with special powers and is also known as the bead
of the Yogis/Yogic bead. It is extremely beneficial for people who have a strict meditation discipline and also for
those who want to develop concentration and Yogic Powers. It is however very important that you consecrate and
energize the Rudraksha Rosary and the Rudraksha Beads in your name with special mantras to derive optimum
benefits.
For the chanting of Shiva Mantra the rosary of Rudraksh is the best as propounded by the ancient religious and
tantrik texts. It has 108+1 beads and each Rudraksha bead is energized with the Mantras relating to Lord Shiva. This
is why the Rudraksha Rosary is very effective. All Mantras of Lord Shiva can only be chanted with the Rudraksh
rosary. Here you will find one method of consecrating and energizing the Rudraksh Mala. There are other methods
also. This method is comparatively easily and can done by everybody. Remember self help is the best help. It is
preferable that you consecrate your rosary yourself. In case due to certain circumstances you cannot- get the same
done by someone knowledgeable.
A consecrated Rudraksh Mala has got tremendous powers. If one uses it for meditation and mantra chanting it
should be consecrated properly otherwise much of the beneficial effects will be lost.
The mantras for consecrating other faceted beads are different. This consecration applies only to a Rudraksha
rosary that has five faceted Rudraksha beads/Panch Mukhi Rudraksha Beads. This method is disclosed and
explained for your benefit. And don't forget that: Hired persons do not pay. Do your work yourself.
Astro Journey will shortly upload the audio files of the mantras so that you have no problem in pronunciation of the
mantras. In case you have taken initiation from a Guru and the Guru has given other mantras then you should use
those mantras.

A Rudraksha Rosary of 108 Five Faceted Rudraksh Beads
Rudraksha popularly known as the Utrasum Bead Tree is botanically known as Elaiocarpus/Elaeocarpus Ganitrus
Roxb. It's medicinal and divine properties have been known from times immemorial. It is said that only one who has
the divine blessings of Lord Shiva (The destroyer in the Trinity of Gods) gets the opportunity of wearing this divine
bead. Rudra means Shiva and Aksh means eye.
The Legend:
According to the religious text Devi Bhagwat Puran there was a Demon known as Tripurasur who was very strong
and had divine energy and power. Due to these qualities he became proud and started to trouble deities and sages.
No one was able to defeat this strong demon in war. On seeing his immoral actions Brahma, Vishnu and Other
deities prayed to the Devadhidev Mahadeva Shiva (The greatest, lord of Lords Shiva) to destroy evil Tripurasur. Lord
Shiva closed his eyes and meditated for some time. When he opened his lotus shaped eyes tears fell from them on
the earth. Wherever his tears fell the Rudraksha tree Grew. The fruits that grow on this tree are known as Rudraksha
Beads. Lord Shiva then used his deadly divine weapon known as Aghor and destroyed Tripurasur.
According to another religious text Shiva Mahapuran, Parvati the divine consort of Lord Shiva asked him the origin of
Rudraksha. On hearing her question Shiva said that he did penance for a thousand years. Tired of keeping his eyes
closed for so long, Shiva opened them. A few teardrops fell to the ground and from these tears, the Rudraksha tree
was born. The seeds of the tree were distributed on the earth.
Religious significance of the Rudraksha Bead:
The mantra of Lord Shiva Mahamrityunjaya if chanted can only be done so on a Rudraksha rosary/Rudraksha Mala.
Lord Shiva's mantra cannot be chanted on any other bead. Shiva says in different religious texts:
 Individuals of all castes, ashramas, varnas should wear the Rudraksha bead. Brahmins should wear it after
consecrating the bead with the appropriate mantra.
 The individual who wears the Rudraksha with devotion is like Rudra (Shiva) himself.
 The man wearing the Rudraksha is Rudra himself. If he drinks then Rudra drinks. The food he eats is
equivalent to the food partaken by the deities. All his sins are alleviated.
 One who feels any shame in wearing this divine bead can never be free from the cycle of birth and death
even after taking a million births.
 One who criticizes a Rudraksha wearer is a sinner.
 No pleasure is greater in the world then wearing a Rudraksh.
 One who wears the Rudraksh bead is a divine being and all his sins get destroyed.
Points to remember while wearing Rudraksha
After having studied rudraksh deeply for more than 1yr now i personally FEEL there are some very extremely
important points which should be followed/remembered with wearing of rudraksh, these are listed below ... All of
the below mentioned points may NOT be rules (to be followed with rudraksh) since some of below mentioned
points are my personal suggestions or viewpoints so i leave this for the reader to decide .......
• Energise/Pran Prathistha rudraksh from a brahmin pandit in a Shiv temple & then wear ur energised rudrash for
first time immediately after its Pran Prathistha puja.
• Before u wear ur energised rudraksh bead/mala for first time make sure u follow the vidhi of saying the mantras
as laid down in scriptures.
• Hereafter every time u remove or wear ur rudraksh (after its puja) say om-namah-shivah minimum 3times or
11times .. mansic jap is ok.
• Remove rudraksh before engaging in sex, eating non-veg, drinking alchol, &/or attend participate in some one's
death funeral procession &/or when visiting the cemetery or cremation ground.
• After u come back from attending participating in some one's death funeral procession &/or visiting the cemetery
or cremation ground, then 1st thing u should do is take a complete water bath. Make sure u wet ur head &
forehead & neck regions thoroughly with water and then wear rudraksh.
• Make sure there is no rahu kaal & yamghat kaal at time of buying a new mukhi rudraksh bead/mala & the time of
doing its Pran Prathistha puja & also at the time of wearing energised rudraksh bead/mala for the first time,do pls
refer to panchag.
• Never touch rudraksh with dirty hands.
• Never touch rudraksh with pointer fingers.
• Do not keep displaying ur rudraksh to any one & everyone, it should be hidden well below ur clothing, I feel
rudraksh is not a object of fashion to display to everyone.
• If at all by mistake u have touched ur rudraksh with dirty hands then pour some good amount of ganga jal on
rudraksh & ask forgiveness from lord shiva & then touch rudraksh to lord shiva photo or shivling & then wear it,it is
good to keep ganga jal 1 or 2 bottles handy at home.
• After act of sex take a complete water shower if possible before u put ur rudraksh back again.
• 14 mukhi rudraksh needs special care & handling as it is the most very aupucious.
• Navratri,shivaratri,mahashivratri & eclispe are auspiciouse times to dharan rudraksh,there may be some more
however i am not aware of it.
• If for some reason u are not able to dharan/wear ur rudraksh then keep it in a small box at puja place & offer daily
namaskar with om-namah-shivah jap.
• Sometimes mistakes may happen with rudraksh after all we are all humans however a person should remember
not to repeat those same mistakes again.
• Always buy rudraksh from ur own money & not other people's borrowed money, also same applies when u give
dakshna to panditiji after rudraksh Pran Prathistha,in case if u do borrow money then make sure u return that
amount which u used for purpose of rudraksh, also i feel that one should not bargain when buying rudraksh
bead/mala.
• Get ur rudraksh bead/mala re energised thru its Pran Prathistha puja once every year at maha shivaratri or
shivratri.
• It is suggested that u have strong thread to place rudraksh in, or use multiple strands of thread to make it strong
so that thread does not break off anytime & rudraksh does not fall to ground.
• Rudraksh beads or malas should not be exchanged or interchanged after u dharan/wear it.
• Read more about rudraksh to increase ur knowledge on it however also make sure u dont get confused by reading
from too many different sources.
• It is suggested that brush that u use for cleaning rudraksh beads should be used only for 1 time use & then
disposed off, everytime use a new clean small brush.
• There are various amrit yog & siddhi yog timings displayed in jyotish magazines & panchang,if one wishes then
one could follow these timings for rudraksh puja or wear rudrash(for 1st time) during these times.
• ALWAYS REMEMBER THE AMOUNT OF BENEFIT U GET FROM UR RUDRAKSH WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE
AMOUNT OF RESPECT & CARE U SHOW TOWARDS UR RUDRAKSH BEAD..RUDRAKSH IS LORD SHIVA...
OM-NAMAH-SHIVAH.
I personally feel one good book on rudraksh is "Power of Rudraksh by Kamal Seetha".

Rudraksha And High Blood Pressure
A lot have been heard about the medical properties of Rudraksha beads. One of
the uses in Ayurvedic healing is in the treatment of high blood pressure. This
is how it is done. We need a good quality 5 facets Rudraksha beads. Good quality
means the bead must look and feel solid when we handle it. The vertical grooves
on the seed must be well defined and the ridges on both side of the line should
be well formed. There must be no sign of insect attack and the bigger seed is
preferred over the smaller beads for this purpose. I have seen one the size of
the ping pong ball and the ownner has zealously shown me and kept it in a nice
wooden box. Put the bead in a glass of water and leave it over night. The next
morning take out the seed dry and keep it in a box. The water is ready for
consumption. Western medication should be continued as usual.

Rudraksha Mala
Have you ever wondered if what you know about Rudraksha is accurate? Consider
the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on mukhi
Rudraksha.
Rudraksha Mala
Today post is about Rudraksha mala and some tips on choosing the right quality.
It have been known from antiquity to have many special powers. Benefits are
extolled in the Siva Purana and other Hindu scriptures. It is said to exert a
beneficial vibratory influence on the physical body and on the subtle spiritual
energies, or pranas, of the wearer. They are said to provide protection from
many kinds of negative vibrational influences, as well as physical harm and
disease. Other great claims have been made regarding their benefits as can be
seen from the numerous user testimonials .
You can see that there's practical value in learning more about rudraksha. Can
you think of ways to apply what's been covered so far?
The bead is actually a seed and is said to be of a substance that contains all
five elements in perfect balance: earth, water, fire, air, ether. There are
basically two kinds of rudraksha beads: those that are heavy, dense, and will
sink in water (a very durable kind), and those that are lightweight and float in
water (more porous and less durable). Smoothness and roundness also determine
the quality of the bead. Genuine rudraksha have well-defined "faces" or spaces
between distinct lines around the bead. The number of faces on a bead determines
certain specific qualities inherent in the bead. A rudraksha with five faces is
Rudra himself. Its name is Kalagni. It is lordly. It bestows salvation and
achievement of all desired objects. It is recommended that the rudraksha mala be
kept in a clean place and not touch the feet or floor. It is advisable to make a
cloth bag which can be used both as storage and to hold the mala while doing
japa.
Nepal near the foothill of the Himalayas produces the most high quality
Rudraksha folowed by Indonesia. Cost of high quality rudraksha beads is well
founded. Only a very specific climate will produce a tree that yields a small,
hard seed. The seed must then be buried in the ground for at least two years in
order to soften the outer shell in order to provide the least risk of breakage
during the shelling process. The beads are sorted according to size and quality
and then hand drilled. The smaller the bead, the higher the cost. A matched set
of small rudraksha beads is much more expensive than a set of larger beads. A
good size is 7 to 9 millimeters in diameter, with a cost of about $100 or more.
A mala of selected quality beads consisting of 1 to 14 facets can easily cost
not less than USD2,000.
There's a lot to understand about Rudraksha. We were able to provide you with
some of the facts above, but there is still plenty more to write about in
subsequent articles.
Rudraksha
The only way to keep up with the latest about rudraksha is to constantly stay on
the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about
rudraksha, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.
Rudraksha trees have large evergreen broad leaves which grows in the area from
the Gangetic Plain to the foothills of Himalayas. Rudraksha trees are also found
in middle areas of Nepal. Rudraksha seeds are covered by an outer shell of blue
color when fully ripe, therefore, Rudraksha seeds are also called as blueberry
beads. It is also used for treatment of various diseases in Indian traditional
medicine.
Rudraksha in Sanskrit literally means "the eye of Rudra" or "red-eyed", from
rud, "to cry," and aksha, meaning "eye". In one story by Śaivites, God himself
(Śiva) shed a tear, on viewing the misfortunes of humanity. This single tear
became the first Rudraksha tree, and a sign of his compassion. In another story,
while destroying the asura fortress of Tripura (mythology), the seeds from Lord
Siva's eyes emerged to form rudraksha. Rudraksha literally stands for the eyes
of Lord Shiva implying that it was "pleasant to the eyes of Lord" (Shiva), and
hence it is named in his honour. Traditionally it is considered sacred and are
said to have diverse mystical powers, including being an amulet against evil
forces.
Rudraraka beads are the material from which sacred garlands (108 beads in
number) or rosaries are made. In essence, rudraksha is a Saivite rosary. They
are used for japa mala. Rudraraka is a common aid to worship in Śaivism.
Rudraksha mala are worn by Hindu monks, and many devotees wear a single bead
hung from their neck. The use of rudraraksha can distinguish denomination
amongst Hindus. Vaishnavites use beads made of tulsi while Saivites use
rudraraksa. In Tantric Buddhism rudraksha beads are sometimes used for the
practice of wrathful deities.
Rudraksha has special qualities to identify the type of food. In ancient Indian
culture, yogis divided the food into 3 categories - Positive Pranic, Negative
Pranic and Neutral/Zero Pranic. When the Rudraksha mala is being held above the
foods, it'll rotate clocwise for positive pranic, anticlockwise for negative
Pranic and pendulum action for zero pranic foods. A person can use this as a
test to identify true Rudraksh (If the person holds it over plain water it will
rotate clockwise and if they add one drop of some chemical used to clean the
floor, it will change to rotate in anticlockwise)
Truthfully, the only difference between you and rudraksha experts is time. If
you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to
expert status when it comes to rudraksha.
There are many different varieties of Rudraksh available in the world divided
based on the grooves in the mukhi Rudraksh like Pachamukha (5 faces), Gowri
shankar (2 face), Eka mukha (1 face) etc. Each one has its own individual
capabilities when it is being worn by any person. Rudraksh has the capabilities
of holding the energy of the person who is wearing it, unlike Spadika (which has
only cooling effect on the body) or anything other. There is a myth that this
one should not be worn by people who are consuming non-vegetarian, couples and
women during mensus periods - but they are not true. Anyone can wear it any
time.
The Rudraksh seeds are brittle in nature and so it should be avoided from
chemical and toileteries Wearing Rudraksha mala cleanses a person's aura.
Origin & Myths Rudraksha has its etymological origin in the Sanskrit words,
‘Rudra’ and ‘Aksha’. ‘Rudra’ is another name for Lord Shiva, and ‘aksha’ means
teardrop. Mythological tales have it that the Rudraksha plant was born out of
Lord Shiva’s tear drops. Ancient scriptures, such as ‘Shiva Purana’, ‘Padma
Purana’ and ‘Srimad Bhagavad’ mention the greatness and wonderful powers of the
Rudraksha. For thousands of years, they have adorned the bodies of sages and
saints leading a fearless life in far-flung frontiers seeking enlightenment and
liberation.
According to the Ayurvedic medical system, medicinal value and biomedical
properties of wearing Rudraksha are positive effect on the heart and nerves,
relieve from stress, anxiety, depression, palpitations and wavering thoutht or
lack of concentration. It is also known for its anti-ageing effect,
electromagnetic and inductive properties. The use of Rudraksha seeds in people
