Importance of Wearing Rudraksha
Rudraksha is a Sanskrit word that is composed of Rudra + Aksha. Rudra is another name of Lord Shiva and Aksha means eyes. Thus, the word Rudraksha literally means ‘the eyes of Lord Shiva’. Since the dawn of time Rudraksha has been considered to be the blessing of Lord Shiva for all of mankind, for everybody, across castes, creed, religion and gender.
In the Shiva Purana, it is Lord Shiva himself who told Mata Parvati about Rudrakshas. Shiva said, ‘O Devi! Listen to the greatness of Rudraksha. Out of my love for you and desiring the welfare of devotees, I am telling you about it. In earlier times, I observed austerities for thousands of divine years. (The years of gods are different from those of humans.) Though I controlled myself, my mind was agitated. As Paresha, in my self-possessed form, I desired to benefit the world. Hence, in my sport, I opened my eyes. From my beautiful half-open eyes, drops of tears fell down. From those drops of tears was born the tree known as Rudraksha’.
