Rudraksha meaning—the eye
of Rudra [Shiva] is considered to be the most potent
manifestation of the Cosmic Force. Hence Rudraksha is the
object of veneration and also the source to reach the higher
self.Rudraksha is often believed to symbolize the link between
the earth and the heaven. These beads are the seeds of the
Rudraksha fruit obtained from Rudraksha trees. The Rudrakasha
tree is botanically known as ELAEOCARPUS GANITRUS ROXB.
Its English name is UTRASUM BEAD TREE.
Rudraksha trees are
mostly found in South Eastern Asian Islands of Java, Sumatra,
Borneo, Bali, Iran, Java, Timor (Indonesia) and parts of South
Asian Kingdom of Nepal. Around 70% of the Rudraksha trees are
found in Indonesia, 25% in Nepal and 5% in India. Considered a
major stress reliever, reducing circulatory problems and of
course as the best beads, the berry (Elaeocarpus Ganitrus) was
first spotted in Indonesia and is now grown in Nepal and
Hardwar. However, because it is expensive, clinical research
of its medicinal properties has not been possible, often
resulting in the berry being subjected to esoteric mumbo
jumbo.There are clefts called MUKHIS on the surface of
the beads. The number of mukhis on the surface of a Rudrakasha
bead helps in determining its quality. According to the number
of mukhis the rudrakasha bead ranges from single face to a
several faced bead. Asians have used Rudraksha beads
traditionally. Asian Yogis and Monks found that merely wearing
the Rudraksha beads gave them astonishingly tremendous amount
of tranquility, concentration that helped them meditate for a
long period of time with spectacular control over their
mind.
These beads help the people world wide in relieving their
sins, pains and sufferings. Recent scientific researches
indicate the magnetic and electrical powers of this vegetable
matter obtained from the Rudrakasha tree. The researches have
proved that these beads really have the ability to affect
neuro physiology of human beings.
Scientifically the Rudrakasha beads are Dielectrical as
they store electrical energy and also possess permanent
Magnetic properties changing with the variation in the number
of faces on the beads. Rudrakasha seeds are dynamically polar
and also posses Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic
properties. Due the Electromagnetic properties the Rudrakasha
beads have anti ageing factors also. Though the fact of
Rudraksha bead of vegetable matter having electromagnetic
property is still unrevealed but their power of curing body
ailments cannot be denied. It is indicated that the dielectric
and magnetic properties of the Rudraksha seeds impart positive
changes in the bioelectrical system of the human body in a
life-supporting manner. As a result of this electrical makeup
of our body changes.
As Bioelectrical and Biochemical actions and reactions
organize in the body at higher levels of interaction another
change is then initiated in our Bio Mechanical System and the
Sacred Trinity of Body Systems are in Union with one another.
Many scientists have described the beneficial powers of a
Rudraksha by virtue of its Electrical and Magnetic properties
that affect our Central Nervous System, Autonomic, Sympathetic
and Para Sympathetic Nervous Systems and various other Organ
Systems. Group of Scientists proved that wearing Rudraksha
controlled heartbeat and had a positive effect on Blood
Pressure, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Palpitations and Lack
of Concentration.
Properties: Rudrakasha beads denote the “eyes”
of lord Shiva. Hence they are considered to be very auspicious
and pious. These beads are obtained from a plant Elaeocarpus
Ganitrus Roxb. The Rudrakasha trees are very tall and bear
small white colored sweet smelling flowers on blooming in the
rainy season. These flowers turn into black berry like fruits,
which yield brownish red colored Rudrakasha seeds on maturing.
These seeds have sutures running throughout their diameter
determining their type. Rudraksha beads are composed of
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and some trace elements in
combined form. The percentage composition of these gaseous
elements was determined by C-H-N Analyzer and by Gas
chromatography. These beads consist of 50.031 % carbon, 0.95%
nitrogen, 17.897% hydrogen and 30.53% oxygen.People of all
castes creed and religions can wear Rudrakasha. There is no
sex or age bar for people desiring to wear these.
