Rudraksha - Buddha wore these Beads ,so did Gandhi , Dalai Lama &
Indian Yogis.
The word
Rudraksha, comes from the two Sanskrit words
Rudra, a
synonym for Lord Shiva, and
Aksha,
meaning “eyes”. Botanically, the rudraksha tree is known as
Elaecarpus ganitrus Roxb.
The
Seed
of this plant has a rough surface and a hole running through it
from top to bottom. Each seed also possesses from 1 to 21
vertical lines running down its surface, like the longitude
lines on a globe. These lines are known as
mukhas, or
facets, and are natural formations of the seed. Seeds with one
vertical line are known as Ek-mukhi (one facet); those with two
lines are Do-mukhi (two facets), and so on. Each bead has a
different effect on you, depending on the number of mukhis it
has.
