Rudraksha (rudrākṣa) refers to the dried stones or seeds of the genus Elaeocarpus specifically, Elaeocarpus ganitrus. These stones serve as prayer beads for Hindus (especially Shaivas), Buddhists and Sikhs.
When they are ripe, rudraksha stones are covered by an inedible blue outer fruit so they are sometimes called “blueberry beads”.
Rudraksha is a Sanskrit compound word consisting of Rudra (Sanskrit: रुद्र) and akṣa (Sanskrit: अक्ष). Sanskrit dictionaries translate akṣa (Sanskrit: अक्ष) as eyes, as do many prominent Hindus such as Sivaya Subramuniyaswami and Kamal Narayan Seetha; accordingly, Rudraksha may be interpreted as meaning “eye of Rudra”. Rudra is a Vedic precursor to Shiva.
According to a Hindu religious text there was a Demon known as Tripurasura who had divine energy and power. Due to these unnatural energies, he became proud and started to trouble deities and sages. On seeing his immoral actions, the gods prayed to Lord Shiva to kill Tripurasura. Lord Shiva closed his eyes and meditated for over 1000 years to acquire a powerful weapon- Agora, to kill the demon. After acquiring the weapon, he killed Tripurasura and after the victory, tears fell from his eyes on the earth. Wherever his tears fell, the Rudraksha tree grew. Hence, the power of his tears is what resonates divinity in the beads.
Rudraksha stones are described as having a number of facets or “faces” (mukhi) which are separated by a line or cleft along the stone. Stones typically have between 1 and 14 faces. Those with a single face (ekmukhi) are the rarest. Rudrakshas from Nepal are between 20 and 35 mm (0.79 and 1.38 in) and those from Indonesia are between 5 and 25 mm (0.20 and 0.98 in). Rudraksha stones are most often brown, although white, red, yellow, or black stones may also be found.
