The
terms Rudraksha literally means the "Eyes" of Shiva and is so
named in His benevolence.
Shiva Purana describe Rudrakshas origin as Lord Shiva's tears. He
had been meditating for many years for the welfare of all creatures. On
opening the eyes, hot drops of tears rolled down and the mother earth gave
birth to Rudraksha trees.
For
thousands of years Rudraksha beads have been worn by mankind for good
health, religious attainment through Japa and Shakti
(power) and for fearless life.
Saints and sages roaming in Himalayas and other forests have lived
healthy, fearless and a full life by wearing Rudrakshas and its malas.
There is no saint, God incarnation or Shankaracharyas, who can be
identified without these vibrant
Rudraksha beads or malas |
