Rudraksha
Rudraksha literally means Rudra’s or Lord Shiva’s eye. Rudraksha is considered to be the most potent manifestation of the Cosmic Force. These beads are the seeds of the Rudraksha fruit obtained from Rudraksha trees. There are clefts or vertical lines across the surface of Rudraksha called mouth or Mukh and this is the basic criteria in determining its type. Thus a Rudraksha is classified by the number of lines it has, like Four Mukhi, Five Mukhi or Six Mukhi etc. Rudraksha trees are mostly found in South Eastern Asian in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Indonesia, Nepal and Parts of India.
Mythology behind origin of Rudraksha
Tarakasur was a powerful King of Asuras or the Demons. He had three sons Vidyunmali, Tarakaksha and Viryavana. Tripurasura is a collective name given to these three demons. They performed very difficult penance or tapasya for hundreds of years and as a result Lord Brahma appeared before them for granting a boon. They asked for immortality, which Lord Brahma refused, then they asked for three cities or puras to be built in the sky, each having a different orbit in space and they will only come in straight line once in every thousand years. It is only then when these three cities or puras will be in straight line, they could be destroyed and that too by a single arrow. Tripurasuras now were convinced that they cannot die before thousand years and even after that no single arrow is powerful enough to destroy three huge cities at once, begin to engage in cruel deeds. On the prayers of all the gods, Lord Shiva decided to kill these Asuras and destroy their flying cities. Lord Shiva then engaged in meditation with half-closed eyes for a long time and when he finally opened his eyes, a divine weapon known as Pashupati Astra appeared and with this Lord Shiva destroyed Tripurasuras and their three cities. It is due to the stress caused by meditation with half-closed eyes, tears came out Lord Shiva's eyes and when they fell on Earth, they turned into Rudraksha Trees.
How to wear Rudraksha
Rudraksha should be worn after keeping it in milk for purification for 1 hour. It should be worn within first hour after sunrise after having bath on Monday the day of its ruling deity Lord Shiva or on Rohini, Hasta or Shravana Nakshatra days ruled by Moon. It should be worn while reciting the mantra "Om Namaha Shivaya" 21 times. Rudraksha must be taken off and placed in Puja room while drinking alcohol, going to cremation grounds, while visiting a new born baby and having copulation. Females should not wear the Rudraksha during their menstrual cycle. Rudraksha should be cleaned periodically as dust and dirt can get in the pores of the bead. The thread holding the Rudraksha should be changed once in six months.
