Amazing Benefits Of Rudraksha Beads

By

Rudraksha is a sacred bead, especially used by the Shaivites, due to its relation with Lord Shiva. It is believed that once Lord Shiva was sitting in deep meditation, removing the sorrows from the lives of his devotees on the earth. As he opened his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks, moved by the earthly suffering. These tears fell on the earth enabling the implantation of the Rudraksha tree.

The word Rudraksha comes from - 'Rudra' meaning Shiva and 'Aksh' meaning tear. The Rudra-Aksha thus became the seeds of the Rudraksha tree.

The benefits of Rudraksha

The Rudraksha beads are strung together in a mala, and worn by people. It is believed that the Rudraksha beads protect a person from all kinds of negative energies. Atharva Veda speaks about various forms of energies and how they can be used for the benefit or the harm of others. A person wearing Rudraksha will never be affected by such negative energies. Thus, a Rudraksha mala is worn, which serves the dual purpose of protection and for use while enchanting sacred mantras.

These beads have to be 108 in number, corresponding with the enchantment of 108 names of a deity or the chanting of a mantra 108 times. However, it is said that the number of beads should actually be 108 plus one. 108 beads become cyclic in nature and if the person chanting the mantras is sensitive, he might soon start feeling dizzy. The extra bead helps to avoid dizziness. Moreover, an adult must never wear a mala of beads lesser than 54 in number plus one.
