What Rudraksha means?

According to the Hindu scripture, the Rudraksha beads are supposed to have great mystical powers. The scripture say that besides being conducive to the spiritual and material well being to the wearer, these beads also posses medicinal qualities. Sometimes beads are found with figures of various dieties on it.

Normally Rudraksha beads are found with faces from 1 to 14 (the lines on it), but upto 21 faces have also been found. The Rudraksha with single face is very rare and available only to kings and very lucky people. Rudraksha with different faces have different effects on the user, like a five faced Rudraksha cures your heart problems, whereas the six faced Rudraksha helps in achieving the political supremacy and winning over your enemies etc.

Rudraksha should be adopted only on special days to get its maximum effect. People wearing Rudraksha should abstain from wine or any intoxicating drinks. They should stick to only vegetarian diet without onion and garlic.
