Rudraksha Origins, Identification & Spiritual Importance You all worship Lord Shiva and admire him for his diverse and complex nature, who is known for destruction, re-creation and family with an innocent smile. The Lord used to wear a form of necklace made of a sacred seed, Rudraksh, grown from the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, used for its spirituality and healing inner chaos. It carries a high vibrational energy that calms the mind, helps in chakra balance, and protects people from negativity. You can wear it in the form of a mala or a bracelet for spiritual purposes and wellness, like reducing stress and enhancing focus and emotional stability. As we enter the spiritually potent time of Shravan Maas, the significance of Rudraksha grows even stronger. You can have a free chat with Astrologer on AstroManch for more details. Rudraksha and Its Origin This sacred seed is known to come from the Bholenath s tears. The term "Rudraksha" is a combination of two Sanskrit words, Rudra and Aksha ("eyes" or "tears") and Rudra (a fierce form of Shiva), signifying "the tears of Shiva." According to the Shiva Purana and the Padma Purana, the Rudraksha tree was created with the shed tears of Lord Shiva while reflecting on the well-being of humanity. For centuries, sages and spiritual seekers have worn these seeds, which are native to Nepal and Indonesia. Rudraksha beads are a classic tool in spiritual and holistic healing practices. Because of their mystical and therapeutic qualities, people wear them to improve focus, deflect negativity, and harmonise the body, mind, and soul. How To Identify Original Rudraksh by Its Appearance? 1. Mukhis The genuine Rudraksha beads are indicated by naturally occurring, distinct vertical mukhis that run from top to bottom. 2. Weight and Feel Genuine Rudraksha beads have a grounding energy and feel dense and heavy for their size. 3. Surface Texture The original bead's surface is rough and natural, with deep contours and no indications of coatings or artificial polish.

Natural Colour A genuine Rudraksha should have an earthy or brownish tone; steer clear of beads that are painted, dyed, or excessively bright. 5. Origin and Size The rudrakshas of Nepal have a larger size with deeper, darker grooves. Indonesian Rudraksha comes with finer lines and is smaller. How to Identify Original Rudraksha Beads? 1. X-Ray Test The number of mukhis (lines) on the exterior of a real Rudraksha ties in with the number of distinct chambers or compartments (referred to as seeds) inside. 2. Copper-Coin Test A genuine Rudraksha's inherent electromagnetic qualities cause it to produce a mild reaction or emit tiny vibrations when gently rubbed against a coin made of pure copper. 3. Milk Test The Rudraksha should be put in a bowl of fresh milk. A longer-than-normal shelf life of milk suggests Rudraksha's authenticity with natural energies in it. 4. Water Test Let the bead fall into a glass of pure water. A genuine Rudraksha typically has cracks or glued lines, or it sinks and doesn't release colour. However, some fakes may also sink, so this test by itself is not infallible.

Lab certification from a reputable gemology institute is the most trustworthy method of confirming authenticity. Rudraksha beads that are painted, plastic, or artificially carved should be avoided; these are frequently found in marketplaces. To guarantee purity and advantages, always purchase from a reliable and spiritually aware source. Nepal and Indonesian Rudraksha: What s the Difference? Rudraksha beads from Nepal and Indonesia are both regarded as spiritually potent, but their size, texture, and potency differ. Nepal 1. Nepali Rudraksha beads are generally larger with deeper and more prominent mukhis, and are believed to have stronger energy potency. 2. These beads are often preferred for intense spiritual practices and healing. 3. Rudraksha trees are naturally found in the eastern Himalayan region of Nepal, particularly in Bhojpur, Dhankuta, Sankhuwasabha, Khotang, Terhathum, Parts of Ilam and Taplejung 4. The soil and humidity in these mid-hill regions, which are between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level, are ideal for Rudraksha trees. 5. The largest Rudraksha beads of the highest quality are produced in Nepal, from 1 Mukhi to 14 Mukhi. Indonesia 1. Indonesian rudraksha beads are smoother, smaller, and more accessible. 2. Despite having a softer energy than their Nepali counterparts, they are still useful and appropriate for everyday wear, particularly for novices or those looking for subtle spiritual support. 3. Rudraksha trees are mostly found in the islands of Java, Bali and Sumatra in Indonesia.

The Indonesian Rudraksha is still popular and useful for spiritual and meditational purposes despite the size difference. 6. The largest exporter of Rudraksha beads, particularly the smaller multi-mukhi varieties used for rosaries (malas), is Indonesia. Religious and Scriptural Background of Rudraksha Rudraksha holds a sacred and timeless place in Sanatan Dharma, with deep roots in several revered Hindu scriptures. Originating from Lord Shiva's divine tears after a long meditation for the benefit of humanity, each bead is believed to carry his protective and transformational energy. Rudraksha is also praised in the Devi Bhagavatam and Padma Purana for its spiritual strength, healing properties, and capacity to atone for sins and past karmas. It highlights the grah dasha and divine connections of particular Rudraksha mukhis (faces) and recommends them for various purposes, such as peace, prosperity, knowledge, and protection. Wearing a Rudraksha is not only a ritual in Sanatan Dharma; it is also a means of maintaining a connection to the highest consciousness. It is widely used in meditation, spiritual practices, and japa (chanting) because it is thought to balance the chakras, purify the aura, and draw in divine grace. Rudraksha acts as a spiritual shield and a reminder of one's journey toward inner awakening, whether it is worn as a mala or placed at the altar. Types of Rudraksha and Their Divine Associations It is recommended that all Rudraksha beads be worn following appropriate energisation or pranapratishtha, ideally with the assistance of an astrologer or guru.
