Aksha,
meaning “eyes”. Botanically, the rudraksha tree is known as

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 .
