Rudraksha
Rudraksh, the most celebrated esoteric accessory of spiritual seekers has been used extensively since time immemorial. Botanically known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb, Rudraksh are the dried seeds of a tree, which grows in select locations of South-East Asia, predominantly in the upper Himalayan mountain range of the Indian subcontinent bordering Nepal. A few Rudraksh trees have also been sighted in parts of the Velliangiri Mountains, in the Western Ghats.
The word Rudraksh literally means ” tears of Shiva “. There are many legends in Indian scriptures and mythology that describes the divine origin of the Rudraksh tree. According to one legend, Shiva sat in meditation for many millennia with his eyes closed. Upon opening his eyes, he shed tears of ecstasy, which fell to the Earth and became the holy Rudraksh tree. Rudraksh beads were Shiva’s gift to the world.
