Rudraksha Mala Tree and 1 to 21 Mukhi Rudraksha Benefits

Rudraksha: 1 to 21 mukhi rudraksha mala benefits. Types of Rudraksha Mala, Rudraksh Meaning and more.

Rudraksha Tree

Original Rudraksha beads are primarily seeds of the blueberry tree that bear a fruit, called blueberry. In ancient times, the clans of Sadhu used to roam around in mountains and hills and often came to survive on these fruits. The fruits were rich in minerals and are a rich source of carbohydrates. The mountains were harsh and the climate was harsher, to survive the fruits of the Rudraksh tree could provide a steady source of energy and often people survived on these fruits for days.

Once they ate the fruit, they tucked the beads together to make a mala out of it. These seeds are known as Rudraksha tree seeds and they were worn in the hairs, in the arms and around the neck mainly as they could induce circulation across the body in mountainous regions where people often died due to lack of oxygen supplies. The seeds ensure that your brain is always fed with oxygen even on difficult terrains so that death does not come to you from lack of oxygen.

Types of Rudraksh

There are a total 21 types of Rudraksh totally. How do we discriminate one Rudraksh from another type? Well, by counting the ridges each fruit has, in general when you peel off the blue husk.

The ridges are natural and are connected to a central hole. The Rudraksha from Nepal are 25-30 mm and a 27-line Rudraksh is found in Nepal only once. Rudraksh is available in white, red, brown, yellow and often black in colour.

Gauri Shankar Rudraksh are naturally occurring two Rudraksha that are conjoined together.

Ganesha Rudraksh has a small protrusion from the body like a trunk, thus named Ganesha Rudraksh.

Sawar is a Gauri Shankar Rudraksh with only one line. When the Kahars are taken to Baidyanath dham in the auspicious month of Srawan Snan festival of Shivay, usually the devotees place a sawar on their kahar to make the journey successful.

Trijuti is a Rudraksha bead where three Rudraksha beads are naturally joined together.

Four Sawars when come together form a Ved.

Two Sawars when come together form a Dwaita.

Different Types of Rudraksh

Each of the Rudraksh might differ in certain ways from the other.

1) In terms of the number of ridges

2) In terms of their use and purpose

Rudraksh is an ensemble of powers and when you want to wear a Rudraksh, you must be aware of who you are from within, wearing a Rudraksha that does not suit you could disturb your life and the forces guiding it immensely often bringing sudden or gradual doom to its wearer.

Usually men are more than one faced and if you try to wear a Rudraksha hat is one faced, you are inviting trouble to your world. Life can immediately fall out of track if you do not obey the rules of the Rudraksh.

Rudraksh Mala Sanskrit Meaning 

Rudraksh mala are the beads when “Rudra ka aksh,” in Sanskrit. Once, when Roudra saw the condition of the Earth, where people were blind and crazy, Rudra felt sad for his own creation. His grief came down his eyes as his tears and his tears when he fell on the mountains created a tree, a mighty tree called the blueberry tree.

The grief turned into a tree, such was Shiva’s strength and thus, even till date, Shaivites worship Rudraksh in the form of the Rudraksh mala as a part of Rudra in the living form. Hence the living part of Rudra is greatly revered and worshipped in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. It is primarily used by Hindus and Buddhists alike.

Slowly Rudraksh spread to other parts of the world and in India, 35 types of this plant are found. The tree grows approximately 9800 feet above the sea level and yields 1000 to 2000 fruits every year.

Original Rudraksha beads are a perfect way to chant the Lord’s name 108 times and often people would chant “Om Namah Shivay,” using the Rudraksh mala. During Maha Shivratri, original Rudraksh beads are also used to decorate the Ling of Shiva.

Mention of Rudraksh in religious texts

The use of Rudraksh is mentioned in many of the late period religious texts.

You find the mention of Rudraksh mala as to why you wear them and how you wear them in

1) Aksha Malika Upanishad

2) Brihad Jabala Upanishad

3) Rama Rahasya Upanishad

4) Rudra Hridaya Upanishad

5) Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad

To conclude, it would not be wrong to say that the original Rudraksh changes the electrical activity and the magnetic build of our body and its elements. Hence, the original Rudraksh would definitely help you move in a positive direction more forcefully and with more positive power.

You have to understand that each of these Rudraksha types help humans in similar or slightly different ways depending on who rules them and what they rule around them. You have to ensure that you understand the Rudraksh well before buying it, see if you feel a connection with it when you pick it up in your hand. An original Rudraksh can also choose you like you choose from the various Rudraksha to create your own Rudraksha mala.
