RUDRAKSHA

[Guest guest]

Rudraksha

We know that Yantra is the manifestation of mantra, or of a deity.

Through such representational diagrams, the seeker meditates on the

chosen god, to attain powers or liberation. In nature we come across

objects or things, which are marked by symbols of divinity. The

shapes, or imagery of divine forces are found in trees, plants, and

flowers and most commonly in beads such as Rudraksha. As the very

name Rudraksha—the eye of Rudra [shiva] – defines the beads it is

considered the most potent, manifestation Cosmic Force. Hence

Rudraksha is the object of veneration and also the source to reach

the higher self. It is the natural Yantra representing the

all-pervading energy, The Shiva.

The power of RudrakshaBeads and seeds are considered sacred in the

recitation of mantras. Even wearing of these around one’s neck is

believed to bring happiness, peace and prosperity. Beads are good

symbols to concentrate one’s thought while reciting mantras or

performing rituals. Tulsi beads and Rudraksha are the most important

and sacred in Hinduism. While Tulsi beads are considered to symbolize

the creative principle, Rudraksha represents the destructive energy.

Rudraksha means the Red-eye in Sanskrit. It is brick-red coloured

dried berry of the Rudraksha tree (Elacocarpur Ganitrus). It has also

been alluded to as Rudra. In Hindu mythology, there is a story about

the creation of Rudraksha. In order to destroy a demon named Tripura

Sur, Lord Shiva used a fire weapon called Aaghor. It killed the

demon, but the power and radiance of the weapon made Shiva close his

eyes, for even He could not gaze at its brilliance. As lord Shiva

opened his eyes, it became watery and tears rolled down. Wherever the

tears fell on earth, trees sprouted bearing Rudraksha beads.

Various kinds of Rudraksha and their MeaningsRudraksha beads have

sides, or faces and these can be from one to as many as 38. Though

all are considered auspicious, one faced Rudraksha is supposed to

bring prosperity and power to one who possess it. One faced Rudraksha

is believed to represent Lord Shiva. Sometimes other auspicious design

are found on this Rudraksha, like a trident, serpent, star-hexagon

etc. as we have already discussed in our features on Yantras, that

such symbols are power symbols and if energized through prayers,

mantras and rituals, it can give all objects desired by its

possessor.

In Tantra, different face Rudraksha is supposed to represent different

cosmic energy and is used accordingly. It is said to possess

supernatural ingredients, which can prevent ageing, bestow good

health, and remove all impurities from body. Rudraksha beads are

commonly used for treatment of all types of hypertension and for

heart diseases.

How to select a real RudrakshaOne has to use a real Rudraksha bead,

for artificial beads made from wood are sometimes passed off as real

Rudraksha. There are some simple tests to distinguish the real

Rudraksha from fake one, though there is no foolproof method. A real

bead does not float the surface of water or milk. It is also believed

if in a string one suspends a real Rudraksha over a contaminated

onion, it will begin to rotate. The best quality Rudraksha is a

little greasy, rounded, hard, with protuberant mouth, clear face, and

with a natural hole. It should be worn on solar or lunar eclipse day

after performing ritual worship.

Faces of Rudraksha

shall briefly enumerate their properties, namely of one to twelve

faces.

Four Face: Good for gaining health, intellect and happiness.Five Face:
