Where did the Rudra ksh as come from...
The word Rudra is the name of Lord Shiva and aksha means tears. There are
several versions about the origin of the Rudrakshas.
Some epics say that there was a demon called Tripura Sur who was gaining
more and power and becom in g invincib le. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and other
Gods and Goddess went to Lord Shiva for help. They asked him to control
the devil and conquer him.
Lord Shiva used his most fierce fire weapon called ‘Aaghor’ to destroy the
demon. But Lord Shiva knew about the devastating effet of this weapon and
this brought tears to his eyes. When he opened his eyes, a few teardrops
fell on the earth. Wherever his tears fell, trees grew and were named the
Rudrak sha trees mean ing ‘Tears of Lord Shiva’, though the English name for
the Rudrak sha tree is ‘UTRASUM BEAD TREE’ .

What is Rudraksh?
Rudrak sh is the divin e powe r blesse d with auspic iou s energies of Lord
Shiva. We get the details about Rudrak sha in num ber of “Granthas” and
“Shastras” (the holy books of Indian Mythology). There are various stories
about the origin of Rudraksha. One can find the greatness and detailed
literature about the prop ertie s of Rud rak sha in ancie nt Vedic scriptures like,
Maha Shiva Puran a, AkshaMaalikaoapnashida, Srimad Bhagwata, Mantra
Maharnava, Pada m Puran a and Jabbalaoa pan ish ada etc. Rudra ksha is
believed to have the direct blessings of Lord Shiva, which contains the
properties to remove the affects of sins of the wearer. It is even said that if
one wears the Rudra ksha (in any form) on his body, even without
worshiping or energizing it, does not get near any sinful act or thought.
Rudrak sh is proc ure d from the trees called ELAEOCARPUS GRANITRUS (it is
the botanical name of the tree). The sacred and holy people of India
(“Sadhus”, “Munis” and “Yogies”) are using the Rudraksh from ancient
time. They use to wear it on their head, around their arms or neck in the
form of rosa ry or pendan t. In the society of religio n, Rudraksha is not a new
or surprising matter. The Vedic people know and understand the importance
of Rudrak sha. As per their belief, Rudrak sha gets them closer to their God
and plays an important role to provide them “MOKSHA”.
The word Rudraksh is formed with the combination of two different Sanskrit
words, “Rudra ” and “Aksha”. The word “Rudra” stands for Great Lord Shiva
and the word “Aksha” stand s for the tears of Rud ra (Lord Shiva).
One ancient story explains the origin of Rudrak sha. Once upon a time, Lord
Shiva was very upset and depressed due to the death of “Gauri”, his wife.
He started crying and roaming here and there in search of “Gauri”. And
while searching too he was crying and his tears were falling on the earth.
This is said that his tears were conve rted in Rudraksh a. Rudrakshas are
23
found in round in India, Nepal and Indo nesia. Rudraksha is said to contain
the secrets of entire evolution of the Cosmos within it.
Most of the Rudrakshas are foun d in round shap e with differe nt number of
faces (“mukhi”) on it. But few Rudraksh as are also foun d with the shape of
cashew nuts. Sometime they are found as a pair of two Rudrakshas,
naturally joined with each other, known as “Gauri Shankar Rudraksha”. It is
believed to have the blessings of Lord Shiva and Godd ess Parvati. And
sometime, though very rare, a pair of three Rudraksh as is also foun d, again
naturally joined with each other, known as “TRIJUTI Rudraksh a”. It is
believed to have the blessings of Great Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva all
togethe r. Rudrak sha s are found with different faces (muk hi), 1 to 21 faced.
2 to 8 faced Rudrak sha s are norm ally found Rudraksh as, 1 faced, 9 to 21
faced Rudraksh as are rare found Rudrakshas. Each Rudraksha has its own
benefits and properties. Each Rudrak sha is blessed with ausp icio us energies
of Lord Shiva, but still is believed to under the Lordship different Gods and
Goddesses, thus having the blessings of those Gods and Goddesses too.
In astro logy, Rudrak sha is used as remedy of malefic planets. Unlike gems
and stone s, Rudrak sh as are said to be alway s bene ficial for the wearer. As
the direct blessings of Lord Shiva is involv ed, no question of illness or
negative results arises.
The Rudraks ha is used for their benefic nature. The Rudraksha is very
powerful and they help to achie ve wond ers, of energ ized (Praanpratishthit)
properly and empowered by adopting the right Vedic procedure, It is
important to purify the Rudraksh a by milk, ghee etc and also to energ ized it
(Praanpratishthit) before wearing it. AstroMuni.Com provides its users with
the Rudrak sha s energ ized with prope r Vedic procedure.
It is believ ed that wherev er a Rud raks ha (of any form, in any shape ) is kept
and worshiped, that place is free of sins. That place cannot be affected with
devil effect (Bhoot-Pret Badha). That place is believed to be protected from
theft, robbery and fire. The people living in that place are safe and protected
from diseases, untimely accidents and death. They are protected from
Super-Natura l pow ers. The residents are blessed with never-ending wealth.
The love, faith, brotherhood, affection and sympathy is always there among
the relationships. It is believed that Godd ess Lakshmi takes the permanent
residence in that place. Lord Shiva himse lf along with Godd ess Parvati and
Lord Ganesha are present there to protect the family.
Who is the legend behind Rudraksha?
Lord Shiva is the legend behind the Rudra ksh a. Rudraks ha is believe d to be
the direct blessings of Lord Shiva. The word Rudraksha is formed with the
combinatio n of two different Sansk rit words, “Rudra” and “Aksha”. The
word “Rud ra” stand s for Lord Shiva and the word “Aksha” stands for the
tears of Rudra (Lord Shiv a). We get the details about Rudrak sha in number
of “Granthas” and “Shastras” (the holy books of Indian Mythology). There
are variou s stories abou t the origin of Rudraksh a. One can find the
greatness and detailed literature about the properties of Rudrak sha in
24
ancient Vedic scriptu res like, Maha Shiva Pura na, AkshaMaalikaoapnashid a,
Srimad Bhagwata, Mantra Maharnava, Padam Purana and
Jabba laoa pa nish ada etc. Rudrak sha is belie ved to have the direct blessings

Who can wear a Rudraksha?
Any human being in the world, related to any religion, society or community
could wear Rudraksha. But as some precautions are to be taken while
wearin g a Rudrak sha, it is sugge sted to wear Rudraksha only by the people
over 14 years of age, as children are careless and may cause disrespect to
the Rudraksha.
What are the precautions to wear a Rudraksha?
As told earlier, Rudrak sha is the direct blessings of Lord Shiv a; one should

couples). They can wear it next morning. One should not wear a Rudraksha
while eating non-veg etarian food or while having alcoholic produ cts. One
should always wear an energized (Praanpratishthit) Rudraksha.
Is Rudrak sha useful for Meditation or Chanting Mantras only?
By wearing a Rudrak sha one gets the peace of mind, good feelings and
activeness. Also his thoughts are centralized to the mission. And in today’s
modern and fast moving life, the centralization of the thoughts is necessary.
It helps you to overcome the state of depression and tension, which is
increa sin g day by day due to comp etition. Rudrak sha is belie ve d to be self-
energiz ed tool to get succe ss in every field of the life.
Rudrak sha has a spec ific bene fit – it overc om es the fear. In today’s time,
take any country, take any society or community or religion, the whole
mankind is scared and full of fear. The man is scared of himself. Rudraksha
is an excellent source of energy to kill fear. That’s the reason that our
“Sadh u”, “Munis” and “ Gurus” use to roam in jungles, different states and
countries without any fear. They use to wear Rudrak sha s, as they knew the
importance and properties of the Rudrakshas.
Now, Rudrakshas are not only used for meditation or chanting mantras.
Now Rudraksha is not in the limit of a particular religio n or country. Today
Rudrak sha is used as a sourc e of comp lete ness. There is no purp ose in that
can’t be fulfilled by using Rudraks ha.
25

Yes, it is a very effective experiment. To get the blessings of Different
Planets and to get the benefits of diffe rent Rudrak sh as one can wear
Rudrak sha s of differen t faces at one time. The importance of procu ring and
wearin g 1 to 14 faced Rudrak sh as all togethe r is clearly defin ed in Indian
“Shastras” and “Granthas” (the holy books on Indian Mythology). One can
make the group of Rudrak sh as as per his own choice accord ing to his need
and priority. There are some gems that can’t be worn together due to
enmity and antagonism between the planets. But as Rudrakshas are the
direct blessing s of Lord Shiva, they are free from any illness or bad effects
of any kind, so can be worn in any combination. The Group of 1 to 14 Mukhi
Rudrak sha is know n as “Sidh a Rudraksh a Yoga” and when Gauri Shankar
Rudraksha is involved in the group of “Sidha Yoga” it becomes “Param
Sidha Rudrak sha Yoga”. The group of 1 to 21 Mukhi Rudraksh a is known as
“Indra Sidha Rudra ksh a Yoga”. The Group of “Tri Juti Rudraksha with Gauri

wearing it. But still it is recommended to chant the “Panchak shari Mantra”
of Lord Shiva for 11 times before wearing it. The Mantra is: “OM NAMAH
SHIVAYE”. In case of rosary of Rudraksha, it is alway s sugg este d to use it
for the purpose of chanting mantras related to any God. The more the
mantra s will be chanted on Rudraksha Rosary, the more it will be energized,
thus giving its wearer more better results.
What is the difference between Gems and Rudraksha?
As told earlier, Rudrak sha is the direct blessings of Lord Shiva. It has to ill
or negative effects on its wearer, whereas the gems are associated with
specific planets. If wrongly prescribed by an astrologer or if the quality of
the gem is not good as required, it may cause enhancement in the
tribulations caused by the malefic planet. On the other hand, Rudrakshas
are used for both the purposes, to reduce the tribulations caused by malefic
planets and to enhance the positive results of benefic planets.
What are the diseases cured by Rudraksha?
First of all one must unde rstand that as per astrology, each plan et has its
effects on the human body. Each planet covers different organs of the
human body. The malefic situation of the planet may cause the diseases
relate d to the orga ns that come s under the specific planet. Rudrak sha plays

own nature and character. There are 12 houses in the horoscope. The
snapshot of the situation of these 9 planets in 12 houses (at the time of
birth of the native) is called a Horosc ope. 12 houses of the horoscope
represent different aspects of the life of the native. These houses contain
different numbers from 1 to 12. These numbers represents different Signs
(e.g. 1 represent Aries, 5 represents Leo and 12 represent Pisces). Each
sign has the lordship of particular planet (e.g. Aries, Leo and Pisces are
under the Lordship of planet Mars, Sun and Jupiter respectively). Now, in
astrology some planets are friends to each other, some planets are enemies
to each other and some planets are average to each other. When a planet is
situated in the sign of his friend planet, he use to give good results related
to that house and if a planet is situated in the sign of his enemy planet, he
use to cause tribulations related to that house.

Shiv a Puran a describ e Rudraksha's origin as Lord Shiva's tears. He had been
medita ting for many years for the welfare of all creatures. On openin g the
eyes, hot drops of tears rolled down and the mother earth gave birth to
Rudrak sha trees. Lord Siva has many aspec ts indicated by His 1,008 names
Lord Siva is respon sible for creation, evolution and disso lution. Lord Siva
dances creation out of existence at the end of time and then after an
approp riate time He destroys the silence itself by dancing and the activity of
31
His dance gives rise to the appearance of Naraya na and cause s creation
again.
Through the grace of Lord Siva we are able to come to a state where we
stop identifyin g with the Relativ e aspect of ourselv es and come to know our
true identity as one with the Absolute. This is the death of death itself. This
is immortality. It is the total destruction of all limitation and all sorrow in
our lives and this miracle can only be brou ght abou t by the pow er of Lord
Siva. That is why He is called Lord Siva the Auspicious One. He destroys our
limitatio ns and our fears. He is the very embodiment of total kindness. He is
the Lord of Yogis presidin g over Transcendental Knowledg e.O m Nama
Sivaya.
Lord Siva is also know n as Rudra and the Lord of Tears. The meaning of the
name Rudra is tracea ble to the Vedas and said to be derived from rud
(dravayita) he who drives away sin or suffering.
Eight differe nt aspects of nature are the direct manifesta tion s of Rudra and
they are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Spac e, The Sun, The Moon and the Life
Force. Anything good and auspicious, anything that keeps us healthy and
happy and anything that helps us attain freedom from pain and misery is
Rudra.
Sri Rudram is one of the five scriptural texts chosen by the ancie nts for
constant repetition and meditation. The five are the Upanishads of one's
own Sakha, The Bhagavad Gita, The Vishnu Sahasranam a, Sri Rudra m and
Purusha Suktam.
Vedic Literature states
As by pouring water at the root of a tree, all its branches are nourished, by
pleasin g Sri Rudra throug h Rudrajapa, all the Devas are please d. One
attains Bhukti and Mukti, enjoym ent of life as well as freedom from the ills
of the world by the chanting of Sri Rudram with devotion
To the Rudra who is in fire, who is in wate r, who is in trees and plants, who
has entered into the entire unive rse, to that Rudra let our salutation s go
Vedic Literature shows that the Rudraksa Bead was created from the tears
of Rudra, the fierce form of Lord Siva thus endowin g it with medic inal and
Spiritual Powers. Each of the many types of Rudraksa Beads have a
govern ing Diety and specific powe rs and properties.
Two of the most important rules to be observed in the Asta avarana that are
the eight aids or protections are the uttering of the five syllabled formula or
Mantra that is Nama h Sivay a and the wearing of the Sacred Rudraksh a.
Rudraksha Beads and Planets
According to Astrolog y, all hum an being s are governed and influ enc ed by
nine planets or navagraha , the effects of which may be either beneficial or
malefic. Rudraksha Beads are said to be very effective in removing the bad

ornament worn on a human body which is as powerful or auspicious than a
Rudraksha Bead rosary. 'Rudraksha' means 'having the eyes of Lord Shiva'.

pleases Lord Shiva to give the wearer His
company. It is the most precious divine thing Deva
Mani. It awakens the sixth sense organ by which
the wearer foresees the future happenings. Its
weare r neve r fails in his decisions.
