These trees are usually found in South-East Asia, Himalayas, Nepal and Indonesia.Even you can plant this divine tree in your garden or in an open space near your house. Rudraksha is known to be one of the most precious beads, owing to its divine healing powers. It is said that only those who have the blessings of lord Shiva get the opportunity to wear it.Lord Shiva closed his eyes and meditated for some time. When he opened his lotus shaped eyes tears fell from them on the earth. Wherever his tears fell the Rudraksha tree Grew. The fruits that grow on this tree are known as Rudraksha Beads.It is a general belief that a Rudraksha bead when placed between two copper coins will rotate slightly either towards the right or the left. This happens due to the physical and magnetic properties of the Rudraksha beads.
