The word Rudraksha is made up of two words Rudra, which is simply another name for Lord Shiva, and Aksha, which implies tears. Subsequently, Rudraksha is the tears of Lord Shiva. It is said to have originated from the eyes of Lord Shiva as tears that arrived on earth and created the Rudraksha tree. These Rudraksha can be worn by weaving it into the Rudraksha Chain Mala or threads. The tree can be found for the most part in the Himalayan locales of Nepal, Sumatra, India, Java, Indonesia, and Myanmar.
In any case, there are diverse kinds of Rudraksha beads that grow on the tree. Based on the vertical lines that run down on the surface, these lines are known as Mukhi, or as such, “furrows on the surface or the clefts”. (For example, if there are two vertical lines on the surface, at that point it is known as a 2 Mukhi Rudraksha.) Each Rudraksha bead contains 50.031% carbon, 30.53% oxygen, 17.897% hydrogen, 0.95% nitrogen, and each bead takes from about 15 to 16 years for it to fully grow and develop.
The Rudraksha accompanies diverse “Face” or “Mukhis”, extending from 1 to 21 Faces. Among them, 1 to 14 Mukhis are generally found. There are distinctive sorts of Rudraksha with in excess of 22 vertical lines, yet they are amazingly rare, and their properties haven’t been contemplated yet.
