Where did the Rudrakshas come from…

  • The word Rudra is the name of Lord Shiva and aksha means tears. There are
  • several versions about the origin of the Rudrakshas.
  • Some epics say that there was a demon called Tripura Sur who was gaining
  • more and power and becoming invincible. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and other
  • Gods and Goddess went to Lord Shiva for help. They asked him to control
  • the devil and conquer him.
  • Lord Shiva used his most fierce fire weapon called ‘Aaghor’ to destroy the
  • demon. But Lord Shiva knew about the devastating effet of this weapon and
  • this brought tears to his eyes. When he opened his eyes, a few teardrops
  • fell on the earth. Wherever his tears fell, trees grew and were named the
  • Rudraksha trees meaning ‘Tears of Lord Shiva’, though the English name for
  • the Rudraksha tree is ‘UTRASUM BEAD TREE’ .
