No single tree is as rich with scriptural references, spiritual myths and legends as the Rudraksha. Its beads have long been sought for their supposed medicinal and magical properties. The word Rudraksha (botanical name: Elaeocarpus Ganitrus) is derived from the words Rudra (Shiva) and aksha (eyes). Ancient spiritual texts like the Shiv Purana and the Devi Bhagwatam are replete with the numerous therapeutic properties and the spiritual significance of these herbal beads. The various colors, shapes, sizes and the number of cuts or faces, called mukhis, determine the value of the bead. This helps to determine its significance in treating different ailments. The powerful Rudraksha beads heal on a mental, physical, emotional, material and spiritual level.
Rudra Centre has over the years developed Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy which is a scientific way to tap the power of these beads. Rudraksha beads work on different chakras of the body and when strung according to this therapy, they start cleansing the chakras in a very short duration. From regulating blood pressure, to treating skin problems, backache, headache, psychiatric cases and providing relief from tension, phobia and insomnia and giving success in business, educations and relationships they have an admirable success rate. A typical session involves the therapist to have one to one session with the client in which the problems are discussed and root cause identified and Rudraksha beads suggested. Once a client wears the beads, he/she starts experiencing positive changes in a week’s time and full effects in a month’s time.
With the development of modern science, many scientists have carried research for evidence to support the ancient beliefs about the Rudraksha. Their findings and research has validated and confirmed the divine power of Rudraksha beads. Individuals from every walk of life irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nationality or gender can use the divine Rudraksha to attain maximum spiritual, physical and material benefits.

Rudraksha Found In Nature: Seeds, Leaves and Trees
Scientifically Rudraksha plant, Elaeocarpus, is a large genius of broad-leaved evergreen trees. The trees are almost 50ft to 200ft in height growing in the North Indian River Plain of the Himalayas to South-East Asia, Nepal and Indonesia. All trees bear white flowers with fringed petals that develop into drupaceous fruit resembling olive. The main trunk of the trees are cylindrical with the section being circular. Bark is grayish white and rough in texture with small vertical lenticels and narrow horizontal furrows. The branches of Rudraksha spread in all directions in such a way that when growing in natural habitat, the crown takes the shape of a pyramid. Rudraksha is basically grown in subtropical climatic region with temperature ranges from 25 to 30 degree centigrade. Read More
Once the seeds are planted, they grow into trees (15 to 16 years) that start giving fruits similar to ‘Blueberries’. In its original form, a Rudraksha is a fruit with a blue husk covering the seed (bead). The blue color is not caused by pigmentation but evolves as the trees grow, bearing the fruits in around 3-4 years. The fruit is kept in water for a number of days and then the Rudraksha is taken out after peeling off the pulp. Rudraksha beads contain 50.031 % carbon, 0.95% nitrogen, 17.897% hydrogen and 30.53% oxygen. The tree has nearly 36 sister species, including Rudraksha. A single Rudraksha tree bears Rudraksha beads of different mukhis (faces) at the same time but higher Mukhis or faces are very rare to find and most of Rudraksha beads are Five Mukhi. The beads come in seasonal pattern every year around mid-August to mid-October. As Rudraksha, is a plant, it is best worn without contact with metal; thus on a cord or thong rather than a chain.

Rudraksha trees (scientific name – Elaeocarpus Ganitrus, English name – Utrasum Bead Tree, Indonesian name – Ganitri or Jenitri Tree) are mainly found in Nepal, South East Asia in Java (Indonesia), Malaysia, Thailand and also in India, Burma and other countries. Amongst all, Rudraksha beads from trees found at the foothill of Himalayas above sea-level 2000m in Nepal are regarded as the best. A Rudraksha tree requires 10-12 years to grow fully and bear Rudraksha fruits, a fully grown Rudraksha tree has large leaves and can grow up to a height of 50 to 200 feets. Cold climate as well as the soil quality plays an important part in the growth of a Rudraksha tree. Rudraksha tree first blooms white flowers from which round shape Rudraksha fruits are obtained. The fruit of Rudraksh tree is not very tasty to eat and has a sour taste. The green fruits fall on their own after ripening when it becomes blue colored berry like fruit. When the upper coating is dried and peeled one will get the hard Rudraksha. One may plant a small Rudraksha tree at their home garden. Read More

How do Rudraksha Beads work and what are the benefits?
Rudraksha beads work on the different chakras (energy centres) of human body. It is the chakras that tune one to different planets and Gods. They work best when worn on body. Touching skin is not necessary for Rudraksha beads to show effect, but the method of wearing is very important. Just as gems work when worn on specific fingers, similarly Rudraksha work when worn at the specific parts of the body in a specific manner. We at Rudra Centre have a wide range of Rudraksha combinations based on Chakra Therapy. These combinations are specially designed for particular chakras and help in opening the blockages in chakras.
Rudraksha beads emit electromagnetic energies that deal with major aspects of our life: health, satisfaction, nirvana, affluence, creativity, intuitive ability, material pleasures, harmony in relationships, attraction, self-empowerment and courageous life. All these aspects are manifested by the current of emotions in our mind and body. A person with positive outlook of life tends to be less affected by the setbacks than those with too many expectations and cynical views on life. The beads when in contact with the body begin to energize the Chakras and bring them to their perfect balanced state by Law of resonance.
Rudraksha beads work on all aspects of life and bring about tangible benefits. Those who face obstacles, failures and suffer from emotional setbacks and for those who are seeking self-empowerment, healing and success should consult an expert and wear a Rudraksha combination.

Time Duration For Effect of Rudraksha beads
The distinction should be made between how much effect a given item is having versus how much effect you notice and how much your body can stand. The initial effects of losing negative energies, ablation of some negative karmic thoughts may be little easier to notice as feeling of slight discomfort.
One should replace them with positive thoughts, and avoid needless monkey chatter of the brain by replacing it with japa or mantra chanting. This process will help in speeding up the process of healing effect to manifest.
For each Rudraksha bead, one wears on the body, the body has to make adjustments. Probably one may not be aware of these adjustments but they take place nonetheless. Often it is both subtle and "delayed" (meaning that you don't notice until it is "obvious"). It may be even a slight feeling of euphoria. What isn't obvious is that our brain, chakras, Nadi systems, subtle bodies and other neuro physiological mechanisms takes a great deal of pranic energy to run and adjust. The rudrakshas or other beads, are disproportionate in their overall size compared to the rest of our body, but is very proportionate to what it does.

How to Identify Rudraksha Beads: Tests for a Genuine Rudraksha
To meet the ever increasing demand for different faceted beads, traders manufacture rarely found beads such as the one faced Rudraksha(Ek Mukhi) or beads higher than 12 mukhi Rudraksha. Mostly a higher mukhi is fashioned by carving a lower mukhi into having extra segments. Sometimes several lower mukhi Rudraksha are used to construct a higher mukhi Rudraksha. Beads of Areca nut, Nutmeg or wood are used to fashion Rudraksha Beads. In such circumstances the individual who wants to buy a genuine Rudraksha gets duped. There are few methods of testing a genuine Rudraksha:
Cut Test: A full proof method is to cut the Rudraksha bead horizontally. One will find the same number of compartments as that of the number of lines. However the drawback is that by this method, the bead gets destroyed.
Properties Test: The other is to find out whether the beads exhibit properties like inductance, capacitance, conduction of electric current etc.
Copper Coin Test: It is generally held that if Rudraksha beads are placed between two copper coins it should rotate slightly. This is due to the physical and magnetic properties of the Rudraksha beads. This test requires high level of expertise.
Eye test: A fake or the artificial Rudraksha may look like a real one but in these Rudraksha the facets (mukhis) cannot be made as real as those present on the real Rudraksha. In a Rudraksha the facets or the mukhis means deep lines or grooves from the upper part to the lower part of Rudraksha. Looking at these deep lines (facets) with the help of a magnifying glass, one can easily recognize a real Rudraksha. Read More
