The Spiritual Essence of Rudraksha Beads
In Hinduism, rudraksha, or sacred beads, have great spiritual significance and are found on the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree. Their name, which reflects their sacred origin, means "tears of Lord Shiva." Rudraksha beads are thought to promote meditation, emotional stability, and spiritual growth; they have long been worn by sages and spiritual seekers. Every bead contains natural divisions called mukhis, and each type has special healing and energy-boosting properties.
