The Divine Origin of Sacred Rudraksha Beads
According to the sacred Shiva Purana, the word Rudraksha is derived from Rudra (Lord Shiva) and Aksha (Tears). Legend narrates that after thousands of years of deep transcendental meditation for cosmic welfare, Lord Shiva opened his compassionate eyes and shed tears of divine ecstasy upon the earth, which blossomed into sacred Rudraksha trees (Elaeocarpus ganitrus). Unlike gemstones, authentic Rudraksha beads carry no negative planetary side effects and emit subtle bio-magnetic frequencies that balance the human nervous system and chakras.
