Introduction to Rudraksha

Rudraksha beads are seeds from the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, mainly found in India, Nepal, and Indonesia. Each bead has natural grooves, called mukhis, which determine its type and specific spiritual benefits. Rudrakshas have been mentioned in holy scriptures like the Puranas and the Shiva Purana as divine objects that provide mental peace, spiritual growth, and physical healing.

The power of Rudraksha is not just spiritual; it is also deeply connected to astrology. Each bead resonates with certain planetary energies and zodiac signs. Wearing the right Rudraksha in accordance with your Rashi, Nakshatra, Date of Birth, and ruling planet enhances its effectiveness.
