All of you must have seen Rudraksha or heard something about Rudraksha. Some of you might have even worn it. Let us try to know something about Rudraksha. Wearing a Rudraksha is considered very auspicious. Rudraksha is a combination of two words, Rudra which means lord Shiva and Aksha meaning eyes. According to ancient scriptures and legends, lord Shiva wanted to kill demon named Tripur to free the Devas from him. In order to defeat him, Lord Shiva needed a weapon named Kalagni. Lord Shiva kept his eyes closed for many years to acquire this weapon. When he opened his eyes, drops of tears fell on the surface of the Earth. These drops created Maha Rudraksha. Twelve types of Rudraksh came from the sun- eye of Siva, 16 from the moon-eye and 10 from the fire- eye. The first ones were blood- coloured, the second white and third black. However there are few more stories and we can’t say which is true. So let’s focus on power of Rudraksh and keep those stories aside. Shiva means the pure truth. When your kundalini in a state of dhyan reaches the anjya chakra (third eye) you being to remember the real you. Your memory of your own pure self is now experienced. Rudraksh is the memory of your own real self which you experience when your third eye is active. So wearing a Rudraksh channelizes these terrible energies of the pure truth. If you are not ready for them they will harm. But all of us have a built-in system of self-preservation. If you are not ready for the Rudraksh you will not be drawn to it in the first place
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WEAR A RUDRAKSH
Wearing a Rudraksh on a body is not just fashion. This is an object of immense power and wearing it all the time is a commitment, just check out what this commitment means You have invited the energies of Shiva, pure truth, into you. These are highly positive energies swirling in clockwise motion. Now if you go near or generate negative/ anticlockwise energies you will suffer a backlash. This is the reason that menstruating women cannot wear Rudraks for 5days. During these 5 days your body is undergoing destruction and your chakras are actually rotating anti-clockwise.
