Pranam From the Vedic and scriptural point of view, the Sanskrit word ‘Rudraksha’ symbolizes Rudra (Lord Shiva). The root word rud means ‘to wail’; Rudra means the one who wails, howls or roars. Another derivation mentions rud which also means in Sanskrit ‘being red’ leading to ‘red, intense, and brilliant’. The English word ‘ruddy’ is derived from old English rudig, rud which means ‘red’. The Rig Veda mentions (Rukh draavayathi iti rudraha). Rukha means ‘grief, distress or anguish’. Draavayathi means ‘to eradicate’, ‘iti’ means ‘that’ or ‘who’, and Rudra means another name of Shiva. It means Shiva who eradicates miseries or grief. ‘Rudra’ is Lord Shiva and ‘Aksha’ means tears. Therefore, Rudraksha means tears of Shiva. Lord Shiva is the ardent user and admirer of Rudraksha. In fact both cannot be separated. A person who wears all Rudraksha becomes become Me I So, one should attempt from all levels to wear the divine Rudraksha II -Shiva in the Padma Purana Even Rudra attained Rudrahood only after wearing Rudraksha beads I Saints achieve the ultimate truth and Brahma attains Brahamatav. Thus there is nothing higher than wearing Rudraksha beads in this world II -Padma Purana Rudraksha Beads for Various Ailments Wearing the sacred Rudraksha beads brings one to the alpha state of present moment living. Since these beads are not man-made, they indeed have an impact on the human body. Holistic Healer Neeta Singhal with her decade-long research on Rudraksha beads has devised Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy (RRST) that incorporates the use of Rudraksha and Gemstones for better health. The RRST therapy combined with the ancient Vedic Knowledge and modern scientific proof confirm the effectiveness of wearing Rudraksha beads. Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy (RRST) is a scientific method based on the Vedic Puranas, Upanishads and Neeta Singhal’s research, knowledge and experience of Aura- Chakra Therapy. Just like Vishnu amongst men, Surya amongst all the planets I Ganga among rivers, Kashyap among human I Shiva amongst all Gods, Parvati amongst all Goddesses is Highest praised II Similarly Rudraksha is the Highest amongst All I Hence there is no Sloka or fast above Rudraksha II Shrimad Devi Bhagwatam In the view of Vedas, Rudraksha beads are divine. They have a spiritual charge that affects the mind, the body, the senses and the soul. Even devas (gods) of the heavenly planets seek to wear these beads for their numerous benefits. Before we study the benefits, let’s know more about Mukhis, the faces of Rudraksha beads. The faces are determined by the lines that segment the bead. However it is advocated that it should be worn only with a silk thread and metals attached to it KR IRS 5821
