Rudraksha is a Sanskrit compound word consisting of Rudra and ak?a. Rudra is one of Shiva's vedic names and Ak?a means 'teardrops'. Thus defined, the name means "Lord Rudra's teardrops".Rudraksha beads naturally form within the fruits that grow on Rudraksha trees and can form in many different colors including white, red, brown, yellow, and black, although brown is the most common. Rudraksha trees grow naturally in the wild and are found in India, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, Guam, Hawaii, and the South Eastern Asian Islands. The Rudraksha from the Himalayas are said to be the most powerful and hold the most energy as they gather nutrients from the holy land and rivers within the Himalayas.When using your Mala for Japa purposes, we hold the Mala with our right hand only, and we can use our thumb, ring finger and middle finger to move from one bead to the next as though we are ‘guiding’ the beads towards us. (The index and little finger are considered as inauspicious for touching the Mala when used for Japa purposes). All Rudraksha beads symbolize Divine power and its connection with the physical world. Through this link they bring about a better understanding of the link between God and humans, allowing one to resonate with vibrations of prosperity, fulfillment, wealth, and increased vitality. They greatly boost spiritual energy, aiding in meditation and elimination of negative energy. These traits are common across Rudraksha of all Mukhis and similarly to variations of different stones, each one adds its own different abilities and associations
