Rudraksh
For centuries, people have seen Rudraksh (Rudraksha) as a special gift from Lord Shiva. These natural beads have strong spiritual and astrological energy. At Rigved Jyotish Kendar, we respect Rudraksh deeply. We don’t treat them as just products to sell; we consider them sacred remedies chosen carefully through Kundali analysis. Under the expert guidance of Jyotish Acharya Surinder Sood, we recommend each Rudraksh after understanding your unique planetary positions and life path.
What is a Rudraksh?
Rudraksh (Rudraksha) comes from two Sanskrit words: Rudra (Shiva) and Aksha (eyes). According to Puranic texts, these holy beads were formed from the tears of Lord Shiva and are primarily found on the Rudraksh tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus), which grows abundantly in Nepal, India, and Indonesia.
Worn in the form of a Rudraksh mala or bracelet, these beads are believed to have powerful electromagnetic and spiritual vibrations that influence the wearer’s body and aura.
How is Rudraksh Made?
Rudraksh beads are naturally grown seeds found inside the blue fruit of the Rudraksh tree. When the fruit ripens and falls, it is dried, and the bead is extracted, cleaned, and sometimes polished. Each bead has natural grooves or lines, which are known as mukhis (faces or segments).
How can I identify how many Mukhi (faces) a Rudraksh has ?
The number of lines or segments on a Rudraksh determines its Mukhi. For example, a bead with one line is called an Ek Mukhi Rudraksha (One-Faced Rudraksha), which is considered extremely rare and highly powerful, often associated with higher states of consciousness, detachment, and divine blessings.
Other common types include:
- Panch Mukhi Rudraksha (Five-Faced): Promotes mental peace and physical well-being.
- Teen Mukhi Rudraksha (Three-Faced): Useful for releasing past karmas and guilt.
- Gauri Shankar Rudraksha: Two naturally joined Rudraksh beads that represent Shiva and Shakti—ideal for harmony and relationships.

Who Should Wear a Rudraksh ?
Anyone can wear Rudraksh, including men, women, and children, if it suits their astrology. At Rigved Jyotish Kendar, we do not suggest Rudraksha randomly. Jyotish Acharya Surinder Sood carefully analyses each person’s Kundali to recommend the right type, number, and combination of beads.
Which Rudraksh Should I Wear ?
This is one of the most common questions, and also one that depends entirely on:
- Your planetary positions (Grah doshas)
- Your goals (health, wealth, spiritual growth, protection)
- Your age and profession
- The Dasha or current planetary period you’re going through

How to Check the Purity of Rudraksh ?
A genuine Rudraksha bead:
- Sinks in water
- Has natural lines (mukhis) and no artificial drill marks
Avoid beads that are perfectly shaped or painted—those are often fake or tampered with.
Cleaning a Rudraksh
- Soak in clean water for a few hours
- Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush
- Dry and apply a light coat of sandalwood oil or ghee
- You can also rinse it in the Ganga Jal for spiritual purification.
How is Rudraksha so powerful ?
Rudraksha is powerful because it carries both spiritual and natural energy. In ancient texts, it is said to be a blessing from Lord Shiva, and wearing it brings peace, protection, and positivity. Scientists have also found that Rudraksha beads have electromagnetic properties, which can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and balance your body’s energy. It works best when chosen based on your Kundali (birth chart). This way, the Rudraksha matches your personal energy and supports you in your spiritual and emotional journey.
At Rigved Jyotish Kendar, we view Rudraksh not as a product, but as a divine companion on your spiritual journey. That’s why we do not sell Rudraksh online. We believe that every Rudraksh must be selected with care, based on your Kundali, energy alignment, and planetary influences, as guided by Vedic astrology.
If you are seeking the right Rudraksha for protection, healing, or spiritual growth, we invite you to book a personal consultation with Jyotish Acharya Surinder Sood. He will study your birth chart in detail and recommend the Rudraksha that is truly meant for you.
