Blessed are the few, who may hold this bead in reverence.

The greatest significance of these rudrakasha seeds is that they all come from one specific tree that was planted and is tended to, in the most sacred environs of a spiritual haven where mantra repetition and chanting, amongst other sacred rituals have been practised on a continuum, over decades.

Their purity and sacred energy is invaluable, as it is thereafter enjoined by master craftsmen who are students of YOGA and aligned to spiritual practices. Blessed are the few, who may hold this mala in reverence.

When worn as a necklace, pendant or bracelet, it is believed to ward off and act as a shield against negative energies in as much as build fearlessness and resistance against health disorders. These beads are the seed of the Rudraksha fruit (also known as blueberry beads) obtained from Rudraksha trees that grow in the lower Himalayan region, Indonesia as well as Hawaii.

Different qualities are attributed to the rudraksha based on the number of grooves, or faces that it has. A rudraksha with five divisions is considered to be symbolic of the five faces of Lord Shiva.

A common belief was that Sadhus or Yogis (mendicants) living in forests would have to resort to naturally available water sources and upon holding the rudraksha above the water it would rotate clockwise if the water was pure and drinkable, or else it would move counter-clockwise. This positive energy test was also believed to be valid for other edibles and any other item of signifance.
