We have been hearing about the sacred Tibetan Dzi which is omnipotent. However, have we hear of another potent bead which is called Rudraksha or better known as the “divine bead” which can change negative energies into positive one.

It is commonly found in Nepal which is called Rudraksha, Bhadrakshas in India and Indrakshas in Indonesia.

What is Rudraksha?

The Rudraksha is really seeds from the Rudraksha tree. The bead’s scientific name is Elaeocarpus ganitrus (Roxb) and it comes in an irregular oval shape with clefts on its surface called “faces”. Most of the Rudraksha’s powers are associated with the number of faces it has. This can vary from one to 21, though four-, five- and six-faceted beads are the most common.

The Rudraksha bead is shaped liked our brain which is one major reason that this bead was recognized by ancient sages and seers in India as a divine fruit.

Myths surrounding the Rudraksha:

According to Hindu scriptures/books like Shiv Puran, Ling Puran, the Padam Puran and others, Rudraksha is considered a gift from Lord Shiva. It suppose to provide freedom from worldly sorrows and impediments and provides spiritual and intellectual growth.
