Rudraksha is a beautiful power-packed bead which is full of energy. This sacred bead is a symbol of spirituality, fearlessness and a source of power, health, peace and prosperity. In Sanskrit ‘Rudra’ means Lord Shiva and ‘aksh’ means eyes. The mere utterance of the sacred word Rudraksha is said to create emotions and vibrations touching the soul and bringing a person closer to God.

The benefits of Rudraksha can be felt at the level of both body and mind. Physically it exhibits amazing curative properties for many diseases as well as anti-aging properties. For ages it has been observed and reported that people suffering from hypertension, diabetes, cardiac problems, stomach disorders, stress, arthritis and phobias get beneficial results by wearing Rudraksha consistently. It has been proven that wearing Rudraksha has positive effects on a person’s blood pressure and controls stress, anxiety, depression and palpitations. Mentally, it gives a tremendous amount of tranquility, concentration power and helps in attaining calmness of mind with ease.

These beads are the seeds of the Rudraksha fruit obtained from the tree which have mystical properties. Every Rudraksha has dividing lines running from top of the seed unto its bottom with equally spaced clefts called Mukhi (face) on the surface of the beads. According to the number of mukhis (faces) the Rudraksha bead type ranges from single face to a several faced bead (up to 21 faces).

Rudrakshas can be worn by anyone as a single bead necklace, as a string of beads called mala or as bracelets. Rudraksha mala is a spiritual tool used in the practice of chanting mantras (a meditative practice).

Empower yourself with Rudraksha, the true bio-jewelry which is one of the most potent manifestations of the cosmic force!
