Rudraksha is considered as auspicious and holds great significance among people due to its connection with Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva symbolizes power, destruction, and regeneration. It is said that Rudraksha seeds are the manifestation of the tears of Lord Shiva and hence represents the gods of the god, Mahadev.
What is Rudraksha
Rudraksha is basically a seed that comes from Rudraksha tree, also known as Elaeocarpus ganitrus. It is a large evergreen tree mainly found in the foothill of the Himalayas, called the home of Lord Shiva, in the gangatic plains and in few regions of Southeast Asia.
It is said that the seeds of this tree have special powers bestowed by Lord Shiva and therefore protects its wearer and helps one to attain spirituality. Shiva Purana says that the one who wears original rudraksha rosary attains identity with Lord Shiva and attains salvation after passing.
The Meaning of the word Rudraksha
As per the Svetasvatara Upanishad, Rud means to cry and Ra is the light symbolizing the divine consciousness. When a person experiences divinity, the floodgates of the eyes open with extreme joy resulting in fall of tears from them. It is more like a moment of epiphany when one realises the meaning of life and death and attains identity with the supreme power.
Another version is Rudraksha is made of two words- Rudra and Aksha. Rudra is one of the names of Lord Shiva that symbolizes the state of consciousness and Aksha means tears. Together it means the tears of Rudra that is the tears of Lord Shiva.
Types of Rudraksha
There are 21 types of rudraksha, from 1 mukhi or face to 21 mukhi or 21 faces. The more mukhis, the rarer a rudraksha becomes. Of these types, one to fourteen mukhi rudraksha can be found easily, but others are not easy to get. Each of them is powerful in its own ways and has its own significance. It is not easy to identify original rudraksha. Therefore, one should always trust an expert. At Gem Mines we provide our customers with original certified rudraksha beads at the best prices.
