Rudraksha FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Rudraksha
1. What is Rudraksha?
Rudraksha are natural fruits produced by Elaeocarpus trees, primarily found in Nepal. These sacred beads have been mentioned in more than 15 ancient Hindu scriptures, which emphasize their immense benefits and importance. According to these scriptures, Rudraksha is a divine gift from Lord Shiva to humanity, meant to alleviate pain and suffering caused by life's challenges.
2. Do Rudrakshas really work?
Yes, Rudrakshas have been revered for their powerful effects since ancient times. Various scriptures have documented their benefits, and scientific research has validated these claims. Rudrakshas possess bio-magnetic properties and a dipolar nature, which generate positive energies that can transform human mindset and neurophysiology. Wearing Rudraksha beads can lead to significant changes in one's personality, character, outlook, charisma, confidence, tranquility, and calmness. Furthermore, Rudrakshas are known to clear past life karmic sins, making the soul fresh and rejuvenated. While the pain and suffering in life may still occur, wearing Rudraksha can lessen their intensity and provide a deeper understanding of the situation.
3. Where is Rudraksha produced?
Although ancient texts suggest that Rudraksha trees grow in various countries, they are predominantly produced in Nepal, specifically in a small area of Eastern Nepal spanning 20-50 square kilometers. Occasionally, Rudraksha trees may be found in other parts of the world due to the migration of plants and seeds, but these occurrences are rare. As a result, Nepal remains the primary source of Rudraksha for the entire world.
4. What happens after wearing Rudrakshas?
After wearing Rudrakshas, individuals may experience a purging effect as negative energies are cleared from the body. Common symptoms include headaches, heat flushes, pain around the eyes, rashes, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. These effects usually last for one to two days and do not require medical intervention. Drinking warm water can help expedite the removal of toxins and negative energies. Some wearers may feel alert and have difficulty sleeping initially due to the high energies of the Rudrakshas. In such cases, placing the Rudraksha near the head while sleeping can help. It's important not to remove the mala during this period, as the energies are harmonizing with the body. If the mala is removed and worn again, the purging effects will resurface. Over time, most wearers notice improvements in confidence, charisma, problem-solving abilities, and overall life satisfaction.
5. Who can wear Rudrakshas?
Rudrakshas can be worn by anyone, regardless of caste, gender, age, or religion. These natural fruits are universally beneficial and not limited to any specific belief system. Ancient scriptures clearly state that Rudraksha beads are intended to alleviate human suffering and can be worn by everyone. The Srimaddevibhagavatam, one of the oldest holy texts, mentions that the benefits of Rudraksha can be experienced with or without faith, mantra chanting, or energizing the beads.
6. Does Rudraksha give harmful effects?
No, Rudrakshas do not have harmful or negative effects. They only provide positive and beneficial results. Unlike gemstones, which can have negative consequences if improperly recommended, Rudrakshas naturally convert negative energies into positive ones. They are living objects with bio-magnetic, inductive, and dipolar properties, which help control the energies of all nine planets in our cosmos. Rudraksha beads are also known for their herbal properties, as they are primarily grown in the organic and high-energy Himalayan region. Contemporary scientific studies and ancient Puranas confirm that Rudrakshas do not harm and are designed to benefit humanity.
7. How long does it take to see the effects of Rudraksha after wearing?

- Around 30% experience effects within 10-15 days.
- About 50% see results within 30-40 days.
- Approximately 5% feel the benefits within 5-7 months.
- The remaining percentage may take up to two years to notice the effects.

8. How do we recognize or identify the head and tail part of Rudraksha beads?
To identify the head and tail part of a Mukhi bead, place the flattest end on a smooth table surface so it stands upright without tilting. The end touching the table is the tail part, while the pointed or elongated end is the mouth. You can refer to our website for images that show the mouth and tail parts of Rudraksha beads for further clarification.
9. Can Rudraksha be worn with gemstones, crystals, magnetic items, and spiritual products?
Yes, Rudraksha can be worn with other spiritual items like gemstones, crystals, and magnetic products. It enhances the effects of these items and removes any negative energies they may bring to a person's aura. However, Rudraksha should not be worn with animal or dead body-related items and tantric objects.
10. Is it true that Rudraksha shouldn't be worn before chanting the mantra?
No, it is not necessary to chant a mantra before wearing Rudraksha. The beads will provide the same beneficial effects regardless of whether a person chants a mantra or not.
11. While wearing Rudrakshas, if some thorny part of Rudrakshas is chipped off or if a hairline crack appears inside the lines, can we continue to wear it, and does it have the same power?
Rudraksha is a fruit with seeds inside it, and each line (Mukhi) contains seeds protected in compartments. Due to dehydration, Rudrakshas may sometimes shrink, and hairline cracks may appear. These minor cracks do not reduce the power or longevity of the beads. Applying oil weekly can help maintain their condition. Minor chips from wear and tear also do not affect the beads' power. However, if the Rudraksha is severely damaged, with over 60% of its surface destroyed, it should be replaced and not worn.
