Why Lord Shiva Wears Rudraksha?

Rudra’ is beautiful name of our beloved and most powerful God Shiva and ‘Aksh’a means tears.

Origin: According to Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva once went into deep meditation for the happiness of all living creatures. When he woke up, he opened his majestic eyes and tear drops fell on the Earth. These tear drops took the form of seeds that later on became Rudraksha trees. Rudraksha henceforth meant ‘The Tear of Lord Shiva‘. The dry seed-capsules from the Rudraksha tree form Rudraksha beads are thus used as prayer bLord Shivaeads and also worn for innumerable benefits.

With this, there came up the religious and spiritual significance of Rudraksha. It is believed that the seed of Rudraksha contains the secrets of the entire evolution of Cosmos within it. Disciples devoted to Lord Shiva always wear Rudraksha to lead a peaceful life and also for deeper meditation. It helps maintain good health, gain self-empowerment and lead a fearless life. Rudraksha beads are renowned for their divine protection and are worn on the body individually or as a chain (Mala).


Scientifically, the holy Rudraksha tree is known as ‘Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb’ and belongs to the family Tiliaceae, a huge evergreen broad-leaved tree with a wide crown. Attitudinally, its habitat starts from sea-coast and goes up to 2,000 meters. Geographically it is found growing naturally and abundantly in tropical and subtropical areas. It is perennial in habitat and almost 15 to 60 meter in height. This tree grows fast and carries these seeds/fruits within seven years. Such trees are mostly found in abundance in Nepal, in the Himalayan slopes and also in parts of India, Indonesia and Malaysia. Its English name is Utrasum Bead Tree. In Indonesia the Rudraksha Tree is called Ganitri Tree or Jenitri Tree. Around 70% of the Rudraksha trees are found in Indonesia, 25% in Nepal and 5% in India.
