Rudraksha as found in Nature |
|
Rudraksha is a large evergreen broad-leaved tree which grows in the area from the Gangetic Plain to the foothills of great Himalaya and middle area of Nepal. Rudraksha seeds are covered by an outer shell of blue color when fully ripe, and for this reason are also known as blueberry beads. The blue colour is derived not from pigment but is structural. It is an evergreen tree that grows quickly. Rudraksha Tree starts bearing fruit in three to four years. As the tree matures, the roots buttress rising up narrowly near the trunk and radiating out along the surface of the ground. |
Blessings of Rudraksha |

We at Rudraksham have worked diligently for many years with our Guru and Yogis to unlock the hidden power of Rudraksha. A simple Puja or blessing is not enough. Our process uses the hidden mantras passed only from guru to disciple. The entire energizing ritual lasts a minimum of 8 days and can take up to 108. During this time we are deep into the Sadhana with full focus and attention. In a short time, you can see the difference between a properly energized bead and one that has had an elementary blessing or none at all. Common Blessing method of Rudraksha... |

Rudraksha are available from 2 mukhi till 27 mukhis. The five faced Rudraksha are found easily and abundantly. One faced Rudraksha round variety has never been found till date and is thus a myth. A variety of Rudraksha called 1 mukhi half moon is thus sold in its place which is genuine and belong to a family tree of rudraksha. It is not very difficult to recognize a real Rudraksha. On account of its increasing importance and price, it is made artificially also and these artificial Rudrakshas are also being sold in market. There are many other criteria written to recognize Rudraksha, such as the sinking and floating of Rudraksha in the water and revolving between two coins. But it is not a correct criterion. Even an unripe but genuine Rudraksha may float in the water, and a non genuine ones made out of wood impregnated with lead or by tampering a real rudraksha may sink. Are there any definite Tests... |
