It
will be a common procedure to see our parents tell each and every people to get
us the holy rudraksha mala from places like haridwar, kasha, Varanasi or Mathura.
We enthusiastically wear it till we step into step into the college where these
will be replaced by modern and western bands and chains!!! But it’s a fact to
be accepted that these holy chains get to an important part in our life in the
college days and above. Why??? What is the use of wearing this???
Rudraksha malas have been used by Hindus (as well as Sikhs and Buddhists) as rosaries at least from the 10th century for meditation purposes
and to sanctify the mind, body and soul. The word rudraksha is derived from Rudra (Shiva—the
Hindu god of all living creatures) and aksha (eyes). One Hindu legend says that
once Lord Shiva opened
His eyes after a long period yogic meditation, and
because of extreme fulfilment He shed a tear. This single tear from Shiva’s eye
grew into the rudraksha tree. The rudraksha fruit is blue in colour but turns
black when dried. The central hard rudraksha uni-seed may have 1 to 21 faces.

Composition of a Rudraksha:
Rudraksha is covered by a blue
outer shell on ripening so it is also called blueberry bead. The percentage
compositions of the gaseous elements present in a Rudraksha was determined by
C-H-N Analyzer and by Gas chromatography. Rudraksha beads contain 50.031 %
carbon, 0.95% nitrogen, 17.897% hydrogen and 30.53% oxygen. The alkaloids and
flavonoids (naturally occurring amines in plants) present in the Rudraksha
extracts.
Medical and Scientific
facts:
The beneficial powers of
Rudraksha are by virtue of its Electrical and Magnetic Properties.
Electrical Properties - The
ability to send out subtle electrical impulses & Inductive vibrations and
act as a Dielectric as in a capacitor to store electrical energy. Our Human
body, The Central Nervous System, Autonomous, Sympathetic & Para sympathetic
Nervous System and Various other Organ systems in to can be considered a
complex Bio Electronic circuit.
The human body is a complex
bio-electronic circuit comprised of the Central Nervous System and the organs
and functions it regulates. Streamlined blood flow has a powerful rejuvenating
impact on this circuit and serves to prevent stress-related disorders caused by
the damaging effects of excess energy on neurons and neurotransmitters. In
essence, Rudraksha beads help bring about the well-known "relaxation
response" which is the ultimate goal of meditation, yoga, tai chi,
biofeedback, and countless other Alternative Medicine methodologies.
Claimed medicinal
properties of Rudraksha:
Nervous weakness, insanity,
epilepsy, melancholia, other mental disorders, insomnia, headache, jaundice,
hypertension, fever, cholesterol lowering, diabetes, stress, and impotence.
Proven medicinal properties
of Rudraksha:
Defensive accomplishment of
E. sphaericus (Rudraksha) extracts in experimental bronchial asthma, protection
of guinea-pigs against bronchospasm, Microbial activity against several
microorganisms including against Salmonella. Anticonvulsant activity...
Ø Although there is no
rigorous research done on Rudraksha (may be people does not recognize its
importance or due to its holy status they don't want any research) but yet,
some scientist and scholars have done great job in exploring Rudraksha's medicinal
and scientific parameters.
Ø Dr. S.P. Gupta, in the year
1985 has shown that consuming Rudraksha powder orally can cure high blood
pressure without any side effects.
Ø Mr. Vasantrao Vaidya from
Maharashtra has shown that when Rudraksha is dipped into water, the electrical
property of water changes.
Ø Dr. Gode has proved that
Rudraksha has sterol and polyphenolic compounds and does not have any alkaloid.
The Rudraksha have been found to balance/neutralize any excess charge deposited
on human body.
Ø One of the best known
research papers was published by Dr. Suhas Roy of the prestigious Indian
Institute of Technology in Banaras, India.Dr. Roy's research confirmed that the
healing powers of Rudraksha beads flow from their electro-magnetic properties.
When Rudraksha beads are placed over the heart, they act to stabilize the heart
beat. Similar to magnets, the beads work on the principle of Dynamic Polarity.
Blood circulation and heart beat automatically induce a magnetic field around
the body and particularly the heart region. Depending on the polarity and
intensity of this induced magnetic field, Rudraksha beads transmit subtle
electrical and inductive impulses with opposing polarity and intensity.
Accordingly, a proportionate balancing force is exerted on the heart to
regulate
So as we saw it’s high time for us to
understand the importance of these useful seeds. It’s always important to
always keep our minds cool and calm in all phases of our life for which our
forefathers had given us a proper way. I have found the difference!!!!! Did
