Rudraksha Tree

The Rudraksha tree inhabits areas starting from Manila, Philippines and passing through Myanmar to entire North-East India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Rudraksha is a large, evergreen broad-leaved tree found in tropical and sub-tropical areas at the altitudes ranging from seacoast to 2,000 meters above the sea level. The tree is a perennial i.e. grows throughout the year and is about 50-200 feet high.

The main trunk of the Rudraksha tree is cylindrical with a grayish white and rough textured bark. In Nature, leafy crown of a Rudraksha tree takes a pyramidal shape. The leaves of Rudraksha tree are shinning green on the upper side with a dull leathery dorsal side. Rudraksha flowers are white with fringed petals and they appear in April-May. Rudraksha fruits appear in June and ripen by August-October. They are globular in shape with a fleshy exterior. The bead present inside is hard and tubercled.

The Rudraksha is a large evergreen broad-leaved tree that grows in the area from the Gangetic Plain to the foothills of the Himalayas. Rudraksha trees are also found in middle areas 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.

Cultivation:

Rudraksha farming is a difficult process due to the slow sprouting from the beads. Depending on the humidity of the soil, it usually takes 1-2 years for a tree to sprout. Rudraksha is grown in subtropical climatic regions with temperature ranges of 25-30 degree centigrade. The tree starts giving fruit after 7 years A single Rudraksha tree bears beads in all different faces or mukhis at the same time. The higher mukhis or faces are very rare. Most common Rudraksha bead is the five faceted or panchmukhi. The environment and location of Rudraksha trees plays a major role in the bead formation and the type of bead formed. e.g: The Himalayan beads seem larger, heavier and more powerful due to the environment they grow in.

Rudraksha beads are the material from which sacred garlands (108 beads in number) are made. The term is used both for the berries themselves and as a term for the type of mālā made from them. In this sense, a rudraksha is a Saivite rosary, used for japa mala. Repetitive prayer (japa) is a common aid to worship in Hinduism, and Rudraksha mālā are worn by many Hindus. Rudraksha is also used for treatment of various diseases in traditional Indian medicine.

The berries show variation in the number of grooves on their surface, and are classified on the basis of the number of divisions that they have. A common type has five divisions, and these are considered to be symbolic of the five faces of Shiva.

The best way to find the authenticity of a rudraksha is to get it X-rayed and count the number of compartments inside. If they are equal to the number of lines outside the rudraksha is real. This rudraksha mala is made from fine, ripe and hard real rudraksha seeds that sinks in water.

Rudraksha seeds (beads) are used for spritual mala or rosary such as in Hindu and Buddishm. Rudraksha mala has been used by Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists as rosary for thousands of years for meditation purposes to sanctify the mind, body and soul. The word Rudraksha is derived from Rudra (Shiva—the Hindu God of all living creatures) and aksha (eyes). So, Rudraksha is related to Shiva’s eyes.

It is a gift of Lord Shiva for the benefit of Mankind. He himself wears it all the time. The tears of Lord Shiva i.e. Rudraksha beads, have been worn by the Yogis of India and the Himalayas for the thousands of years for the Fearless Life on their Path to Enlightenment and Liberation.

Genuine bead of Rudraksha:

Rudraksha have a natural hole in its centre. The face or mukhi in the outer surface represents the seeds inside the beads. There should be no confusion with the shape and size of the bead. The only thing is that the bead should be well defined and there should be no cracks and the bead is healthy and not eaten by insects etc. Rudraksha is recognized only by looking at the linings or mukhis on it. It is advised that the people should purchase Rudraksha only after observing the linings or mukhis. Lower mukhi Rudrakshas i.e. 2 to 7 mukhi are available in market without any faking. In the case of higher mukhis and rare mukhis i.e. One mukhi round or Gauri Shankar, some people artificially carve out lines on a natural bead of Betel nut or Berry to get the effect.

Some people think that Rudraksha, when poured in water, should sink and not float in the water or should rotate between two Copper Coins. These thinking are absolutely wrong because even a ripe or dry but genuine bead may float and a non-genuine bead may sink. People need to be aware about the ways in which a Rudraksha is faked and use simple procedures like observing the mukhi lines by Magnifying Glass, soaking in warm water to observe tampered mukhi lines if any etc. Therefore, the best way is to procure from reliable sources i.e. to purchase Rudrakhas from genuine & true suppliers.

Scientific Research on Rudraksha

Ancient and contemporary Asian texts state extensively about the beneficial healing powers of Rudraksha bead. In recent times, the Rudraksha bead has gained significance again as a mode of healing and also as a fashion accessory. In recent years, scientific studies have been undertaken in India to determine the extent and mechanism of the healing powers of Rudraksha. One of the best known research papers was published by Dr. Subhas Rai of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras, India.

Dr. Rai's research confirmed that as scripted in the ancient scriptures, Rudraksha beads do possess powerful electromagnetic, paramagnetic and inductive properties. The healing powers of the Rudraksha bead are derived from such properties. Blood circulation and heart beats automatically induce a magnetic field around the body and particularly the heart region. Accordingly, a balancing force is exerted on the heart to regulate it if it starts beating above or below normal rates. This action helps to ensure ideal blood circulation in the body. Depending upon the polarity and intensity of the induced magnetic field, Rudraksha beads transmit subtle electrical and inductive impulses with opposing polarity and intensity. When Rudraksha beads are placed over the heart, they act to stabilize the heart beat. Thus, the stated beneficial effects of the Rudraksha bead have been proved scientifically as well.

Meditation

Pull the bead one by one towards yourself with the thumb while calling/reciting/chanting “Om Hreem Shivaya” & crossing and pulling the beads by the tip of the thumb. After completing the japa(prayer) until the 108th bead (the bead just before the guru bead) turn around the mala by your thumb and start the japa again from the 108th bead and continue upto the 1st bead. Repeat the above process. Do not touch the mala with the index finger, little finger and the fingernails.
