Rudraksha beads have been synonymous with the spiritual history of India. The beads are known to increase one's spiritual energy and help one work their way to Moksha. Taking into account the vast literary history of Indian Vedic tradition, the authentic information about Rudraksha is very exciting. This has led to many MYTHS, DOUBTS about the usage of Rudraksha.

WHAT IS RUDRAKSHA?

Rudraksha beads are the living seeds of a fruit. The Rudraksha tree is addressed as the Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb in the botanical world and the seeds from the fruit of this tree are the mystical Rudraksha. The clefts or the thorny contoured surface of this bead are called Mukhis (faces). The islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Bali, Timor, modern day Indonesia and certain parts of Nepal house the magnificent Rudraksha tree. 70% are found in Indonesia. Nepal stands at 25% and India at 5%. High quality Rudrakshas are found in Nepal.

WHY PEOPLE SHOULD WEAR RUDRAKSHA?

According to the Best Astrologer in India, aside from the holiness associated with the Rudraksha, contemporary science claims that it functions as a shield against harmful energy. Protection shall come and shield you, keeping you away from harm and hurt.

Wearing Rudraksha helps increase focal point, attentiveness and transparency of thought. By inspiring the Ajna chakra (third eye), it cultivates mental power and encourages spiritual revolution. Moreover, it helps women reach their highest prospective by imbuing them with powerful vibrations that balance emotions, enhance intuition and promote emotional constancy

CAN EVERYBODY WEAR RUDRAKSHA?

Yes! Everybody can definitely wear a single or different combination of mukhi Rudraksha. Barriers of age, culture, sex, geographic location, religious background do not bring any restrictions on anyone who chooses to wear Rudraksha. Wearing Rudraksha is a matter of faith and willingness only. Rudraksha beads are meant for all. There is no religious discrimination which prohibits anyone from wearing them. It is the wearer's willingness and faith that counts and religion has no role to play in wearing a Rudraksha.

CAN A WOMAN WEAR RUDRAKSHA?

There is a general belief that Rudraksha must not be worn by women and the bead is just a male’s dominion. Let's discuss about the authenticity of these beliefs and the detailed usage for spiritual and health benefits.

There is always a question whether women can wear Rudraksha or not? The budding explanations on religious beliefs in the recent past have gradually weakened the taboo of women wearing it. Breaking free from the emotional restraints, the trend of women wearing Rudraksha is gathering impetus but queries exist among the masses. Admired as a divine ornament, Rudraksha was mostly bejewelled by men for ages. It is really very much needed to know the spiritual and scientific reason for wearing the rudraksha as there is a lot of misconception of wearing it among the women in society. One who adorns the auspicious Rudraksha is bestowed with the blessings of Lord Mahadev as it boosts the attributes of the natural mind like attentiveness and self-belief, according to the Best Astrologer in India.

RELATION WITH SCIENCE:

The holiness attached to the Rudraksha apart, modern science describes that it acts as a competent shield against a whole lot of negative energies. By way of defending, one is kept away from harm’s path. It is easily possible for us to be influenced and affected by the negative energy rumbling from the person sitting near us. On being affected, we tend to lose focus by becoming disturbed and may not be able to exercise control over our minds. Wearing Rudraksha enables us to guide away from being afflicted with bad habits and other addictions which have the affinity to take our life on a downward curve. The multiple benefits offered by the Rudraksha include maintaining the different systems in our body to function in harmony.

SIGNIFICANCE OF WOMEN WEARING RUDRAKSHA:

Many ancient Holy Scriptures and our Vedas mention women wearing Rudrakshas. Mata Parvati who is Lord Shiva’s consort also wore Rudraksha. With God himself offering half of his body to enshrine the Goddess into him, it also authenticates our belief that they are two sides of the same coin, thus women can wear a Rudraksha and experience the bliss of positive energy.

MYTHS VS FACT:

With inadequate knowledge or unfounded information heavily burdened with myths few people hold back against women wearing Rudraksha. The exclusively mythological description gets eliminated by the blessed ancient facts. When Goddess Parvati closed the eyes of Lord Shiva, the whole world became dark. Repenting her action, she descended upon Kanchi and immersed herself in deep penance wearing Rudraksha beads. This act of wearing Rudraksha by the Goddess directly conveys the message that nothing forbids women from wearing them.

Similar to women ascetics deriving explanation through devotion by wearing Rudraksha, women too can in their daily life be brilliant with positive thoughts and energy by adorning the divine ornament. The Best Astrologer in India said that in the present world of mental struggles and the quest for peace, women can find permanent calmness and experience the therapeutic effect on their minds and body by wearing Rudraksha.
