rudraksha


                                                      RUDRAKSHA

Rudraksha consisting of pulp covered with a thin outer cover is a fruit. This is mainly available Himalayan regions of India, Nepal, Indonesia, Java & Jakarta. Jabalopanishad, Padma purana, Siva purana & Devi purana etc mentioned about the usefulness of Rudraksha.
The Rudraksha fruit consists of seeds ranging from one to twenty one mukhas.  It is green in colour but after drying up it turns to black.  Each & every mukha Rudraksha has its own tree. The cost of Rudraksha  is directly proportional to its quality.  The more the superior more the cost.
White, red, yellow and black Rudrakshas are mentioned in the Sastras. Normally Brahmins wear white ones, kshatriyas red ones, Vaishyas yellow ones, and sudras wear black Rudrakshas. But it is very difficult distinguish which one is red and which one is white etc., why because normally after drying up all most all types of Rudrakshas change their colours to light brown or the colour of dust. Apart from this the traders also apply preventive dye colours, chemicals or mustard oil to protect them from white ants & worms etc.
Rudraksha is said to be having magnetic and electric power.  Shape & size are not important.  The number of Mukhas are important. Rudrakshas are by nature hot. Those who are allergic to wear are advised to keep it in altar and do pooja daily.
Ladies can wear Rudrakshas except during menstruation period. Anybody irrespective of caste, creed & religion can wear. The Rudrakshas can be passed on from one generation to another generation.
Rudraksha is of Elaeocarpaceae family.  It has many medicinal properties and is used in preparation of Ayurvedic medicines. Dip two five mukha Rudrakshas in water tumbler except copper and keep it whole night. Take that water early morning empty stomach. It controls blood pressure.   Whenever one feels nervousness suddenly due to shock and if body becomes numb and cold and start losing consciousness, press tightly five numbers of  five mukha Rudrakshas immediately with your right hand. If one is unable to it let somebody help him to do the pressing.   The body becomes warm and regain consciousness.
