Rudraksha

Rudrakshs are formed from Rudraksha tree which is known as Elaeocarpus ganitrus. It is a large evergreen tree that usually grows in a subtropical climate. The Rig Veda states- Rukha Dravyati Iti Rudra. Rukha means misery and Dravyati means to eradicate. Rudra is the one who eradicates misery. In other words, Rudra transforms tears of sorrow into tears of bliss which is represented by the Rudraksha. Rudra represents cosmic winds, the universal energy that is terrific and very powerful and constantly sweeps across the entire universe.
