RUDRAKSHA
In sanskrit, the word
Rudraksha consists with words of 'RUDRA' and 'AKSHA'
in which Rudra denotes to Lord
Shiva and aksha refers to tear. It is believed that when Lord Shiva was in
his deep meditation, a drop of tear fell of his eye which grew into the
devine fruit, that is Rudraksha. It is also said that one who wear this
devine fruit achieves eternal blessing and is deemed closest to Lord Shiva
himself. Rudraksha is mainly found in Nepal and Java Sumatra Island, and
found one face(Mukhi) to fourteen face and an unique kind is called GAURI SHANKAR. |
