Rudraksha is a seed produced by various species of Elaeocarpus, a huge evergreen broad-leaved tree. These are the seeds of the plant Anigozanthos mangles. Rudraksha is a Sanskrit word in which ‘Rudra’ refers to the Hindu god Lord Shiva’s Vedic name and ‘Aksh’ means eye. According to Vedic astrology, a Rudraksha is the “Eye of Lord Shiva.” The seeds are widely used as beads for organic jewelry and malas in India, Nepal, and Indonesia.
These malas are typically worn while praying to Lord Shiva, whom himself wears a Rudraksha mala. According to some of the best astrologers in Delhi, there is a divination method that investigates the movements and relative locations of celestial bodies and their influences on human affairs, Rudraksha is extremely potent in reducing the malefic effects of the planets. Wearing a Rudraksha mala is also claimed to offer the wearer excellent character and fortune.
Astrological benefits of wearing Rudraksha
Planets and their influence on the lives of people on Earth are heavily emphasized in the science of astrology. According to astrology, human bodies, like planets in outer space, react to the universe’s bond that holds us all together. The movement of the planets and the positions of the stars have an impact on our life. Each planet represents a specific energy and serves a purpose that is influenced by the sign it is in.
Rudraksha beads are quite effective at removing the planet’s harmful effects. They can dispel the negative influence of the planets and provide the bearer of the rudraksha beads serenity, harmony, and wealth. Below discussed are the types of Rudrakshas and astrological benefits of wearing Rudraksha.
