April 20 (WTN)- Rudraksha is usually worn in a chain form of 108 beads or 54 beads. It also has religious significance in India and it is believed that one who wears a chain of rudraksha around his or her neck is not affected by sins. Or in other words, it keeps a person’s mind and soul purified.
Hindu scriptures talk of several benefits of wearing rudraksha. Rudraksha seeds actually come from a plant named Elaeocarpus ganitrus, which is mainly found in Nepal, Burma and Indonesia. Earlier these plants were also found in the higher Himalayan altitudes but over time they were cut down.
It is said that wearing those seeds on the body saves a person from evil eyes and the aspersions cast by enemies, rivals and jealous individuals. A person is saved from the ill effects of curses given by anyone. The negative energy is dispelled and the body remains pure and calm. Rudraksha is also known to improve memory power and concentration. This is one reason why sadhus and seers in India have always used these beads for their meditation.
Students taking important exams also use the beads to enhance their memory and concentration at this crucial time. Four and six faced rudraksha beads are most sought in this regard (Rudraksha seeds can have as many as 21 faces but discretion must be used while choosing, depending on the purpose). Rudraksha is also known to have properties that ameliorate pain, especially those caused due to the sting of scorpions and bees. It is said that rudraksha seeds, preferably five-faced, if ground and the paste applied on the wound or the sting, provide immediate relief.
Ayurveda believes that the human body has three main ingredients – kafa, vata and pitta. Any imbalance in the three aspects is the root cause of all our ailments. Rudraksha is believed to maintain that balance. The consumption of rudraksha powder mixed with water helps in doing that. Since rudraksha saves from all kinds of contaminations by keeping the body’s vital forces in balance, it is also suitable for long journeys and travels to distant lands. New environs and new food don’t easily destabilise the body as long as it is under the benefits of rudraksha.
Since ages Indian pilgrims and sadhus taking long walks and pilgrimages used rudraksha in various forms to protect themselves from afflictions. Apart from making the skin radiant, rudraksha also keeps away skin infections. For treating skin diseases like itching etc the best way is to keep rudraksha in a copper vessel containing water overnight and drinking that water in the morning on empty stomach. It is important to be able to choose the right rudraksha seeds. They must be purchased from authorised shops or ashrams or from gurus. The wrong seeds can have wrong effects. Only very trained eyes and discerning intellect can tell the original from the duplicate. A seed called badraksh is widely found in UP and Bihar and these can easily be passed off as rudraksh seeds since they look almost the same. But badraksh seeds are poisonous while rudraksh seeds are beneficial, which makes all the difference.
