#Thread on rudraksha

Rudraksha literally means “the tears of Shiva”. Somewhere it have been presented as rudra= shiva and aksha= eyes. Hence, it can be said as eyes of shiva too.

In our physical world, Rudraksha are dried seeds of a tree, which grows in
selected locations of South East Asia, botanically known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus.

Origin of rudraksha has been mentioned in shiva purana. According to which, Siva, the master of Yoga, was meditating for thousands of years for the benefit of people. When Siva opened his eyes,
some tear-drops fell on the earth and grew into Rudraksha trees.

According to another parallel story, rudraksha is related to shiv’s killing Tripurasura, who sought to destroy the Universe and whom all the Devas, Brahma and Vishnu failed to control. Maha Deva concentrated
with his eyes wide open for several years together to create a very highly potent weapon ‘Aghora’ with which to annihilate the Demon and in the process trickled tears which produced a stream from where sprang a Rudraksha Tree.
The Rudraksha Seeds are of thirty eight varieties.
From Lord Shiva’s right eye, which signifies the ‘Surya Netra’ (Sun God), emerged from the Trees that yielded twelve kinds of yellow colour seeds; and from His left eye, which signifies ‘Soma Netra’ (Moon) came sixteen varieties of white coloured beads,
and from the Lord’s third eye on His forehead representing ‘Agni Netra’ ( Fire) came ten varieties of black colour.

According to shiv purana, chapter 25,

दर्शनात्स्पर्शनाज्जप्यात्सर्वपापहर: स्मृतः ॥2॥

Meaning- Rudraksha is an extremely auspicious bead and is extremely
dear to Lord Shiva. By it's mere sight or by preforming japam with the same ,or using it as rosary , all the sins get destroyed.

रुद्राक्षधारणं प्रोक्त पापनाशनहेतवे ।
 तस्माश्च धारणीयो वै सर्वार्थसाधनो ध्रुवं ॥19॥

Rudraksha has been prescribed for the removal of the sins.
Therefore one should wear this Rudraksha which fulfils all the desire.

त्रिभि: शतै: षष्टियुक्ततैस्त्रिरावृत्या तथा पुनः ।
रुद्राक्षैरूपवीतं च निर्मियाद्भक्तितत्पर:॥27॥

A devotee should wear three strings of three hundred and sixty Rudraksha beads like a "Yajnopavita"
रुद्राक्षेण जपन्मत्रं पुण्यं कोटिगुणं भवेत् ।
दशकोटिगुणं पुण्यं धारणाल्लभते नर:॥58॥

The performing of "Japam" by the rosary of Rudrakasha beads ,multiplies the reward crores of times.

The importance of Rudraksha is also highlighted in the Linga Purana which states
that Shiva does not accept Puja of those devotees who do not wear the Rudrakshas.

In padma purana it is mentioned that A man becomes equal to me (shiva) by wearing rudraksha.

Based on what I’ve studied till now, I get to know about 21 kind of rudraksha, (based on number of
faces).

According to sadhguru a rudraksha is capable of differentiating eatable, non eatables, pure, impure water by showing different kind of motion.

Today, many doctors are recommending it for different health issues. It is still a subject of research.
But few research paper has already been published by indians.

One of the best known research papers was published by Dr. Suhas Roy of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology in Banaras, India. Dr. Roy's research confirmed that the healing powers of Rudraksha beads
flow from their electro-magnetic properties.  When Rudraksha beads are placed over the heart, they act to stabilize the heartbeat.

It make sense as it is said that the reason for most illnesses is impure blood circulation which is resulted from the blockages in the passage of
arteries and veins which carry blood to and from the heart to all parts of the body due to variety of reasons.

Magnets, these days are extremely popular for purpose of healing such diseases. When magnets are brought in contact with the affected area it opens up or expands only
those sections of veins and arteries where the polarity matches because of which complete healing is not possible.

Though Rudraksha Beads retains most of the properties of magnets, but it also has the ability to change its polarity which can be termed as
Diamagnetism, the ability of any material to acquire temporary magnetic property in the presence of an external magnetic field. In other words, it has the property of dynamic polarity as a result of which it acquires a polarity that is opposite of the inducing magnetic field
created by heartbeats and blood circulation thereby opening up the passages of arteries and veins better facilitating a much better healing and rejuvenation experience than magnets.
 
Ps- My biology is weak, I have only written what i have read from different sources.
Note- Everyone cannot wears every kind of rudraksha, as it has destructive abilities too. Only 5 Mukhi rudraksha can be wore by everyone ( according to sadhguru). Other can only be wore after taking the expert advice.
