In the process, for full divine one thousand years I remained awake with eyelids wide open thinking of Aghora weapon, the destroyer of all obstacles whereby the killing of Tripura might effect and the troubles of the devas be removed. There by my eyes were affected and the drops of tear came out of eyes.
O Son Kartikeya from those drops of tear coming out of my eyes, the great tree of Rudraksha did spring for the welfare of all Devas and mankind. This Rudraksha beads are of Twenty-Eight varieties. From my Surya Netra (my right eye) symbolizing the sun twelve varieties have come and my left eye representing the moon (the soma netra) sixteen varieties.

History of Rudraksha.


Rudraksha has fascinated people across the world due to its mystical properties. It is amazing that a seed of a fruit grown on trees has gone on to receive so much attention and created so much interest worldwide. Apart from Hindu religious saints, its users vary from artisans, housewives, academicians to businessmen, Bureaucrats and Politicians.

Rudraksha has been in use from time immemorial. Its origins are traced to Lord Shiva, one of the Trinities of he Hindu religion. From ancient times, Shiva's images and idols are shown wearing these beads.

Rudraksha is for self-empowerment and for bringing about positive changes from within.It has been generally found that people suffering from hypertension, diabetes, stomach disorders, stress, arthritis and fear get beneficial results by wearing rudraksha. Even disorders like asthma, insomnia and hypertension get cured or controlled by wearing rudraksha alone in some cases and along with fundamental natural therapies or herbal treatments in other cases. Such therapies can be yoga, pranayam, sun therapy and use of ayurvedic herbal products.

Rudraksha beads have been used since ages for various benefits. Rudraksha is generally recognized by the natural deep cut lines on the surface. Each of these cut lines represents the number of Facets on that particular Bead.According to the ancient scriptures, rudrakshas are available from Zero to 38 Facets. Each Facet rudraksha having its own divine and miraculous powers.

Electro - Magnetic Properties of Rudraksha



Based on various scientific Lab Experiments, Rudraksha bead’s Electro-Magnetic property can be broadly classified as under.

  1. Resistance
  2. Capacitance or Dielectric properties
  3. Inductance


1) Resistance- There is continuous and subtle flow of bioelectrical signal throughout the body due to potential difference between parts of the body. Rudraksha beads of particular mukhis of facets have a definitive factor of resistance. It is measured in ohms. When these beads resist the flow of bioelectrical impulses a specific ampere of current flow is generated depending on the factor of resistance. This acts in tandem and heart beat, streamlining it and sending out specific impulses to brain. These impulses stimulate certain positive reactions making us feel better, more confident, poised and more energetic. It has been observed that specific mukhis or facets of Rudraksha beads send out specific signals acting in a particular reaction and thereby effecting specific positive changes in personality. It is well proven that the state of mind and our personality is governed almost completely by the brain and its functioning and that of central nervous system.


2)Capacitance or the dielectric properties- Rudraksha beads act as dielectric i.e. as a storage of electrical energy. This property of Rudraksha makes it capable in stabilizing and anchoring the bioelectric current. The values are measured in units of Farad. This property is very helpful in controlling hyperactivity, palpitations of heart, streamlining heart beat etc. Due to stress when there is increased physical activity heart beats faster and the overall activity of hormones and nervous system increases. This causes increase in energy levels. Rudraksha beads acting as dielectric store this excess bioelectric energy, thereby streamlining the overall activity of normalcy.


3)Inductance- Rudraksha beads by it have permanent magnetic properties. They have been observed to send out Inductive vibrations with frequencies measured in units of Henry (volt second/ampere). This perhaps is the reason why people have felt better even when a Rudraksha bead does not touch them physically.

Significance of Rudraksha

Rudraksha beads are the only Divine beads of power worn by the Hermits of India for thousands of years enabling them to maintain health, gain self empowerment and live the fearless life on their path to enlightenment and liberation.

Rudraksha beads were found to be ideal for focused Meditation and other spiritual practices.

Historically the positive effects that have been exhibited in the wearers Neurophysiology, Personality, and Physical Health has resulted in their being used widely by people of Eastern Cultures in India, China and Japan by Hindus, Buddhist and followers of Zen.A combined study to research the Biomedical Implications of Rudraksha was conducted with the Departments of Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering Psychiatry, General Medicine and Psychology. This study documented and proved the powers and effects of Rudraksha scientifically with reproducible results.

In modern age with intense competition the stress levels have increased tremendously. Almost every individual has problems of stress and stress related ailments like insomnia, alcoholism, depression, maladjustments, heart-diseases, skin diseases etc. Any doctor will confirm that almost 95% of the ailments are psychosomatic. When there is stress or maladjustment corresponding stress signals are sent to the central nervous system, there is an increased activity or abnormal of neurons and neuro transmitters. The magnitude of change will depend on the cause and specific case.

When such a thing occurs and it occurs continuously, streamlined flow of electrical signals throughout the mind-body interface is disrupted and it makes us feel uncomfortable and we are not able to act with our full efficiency.
