Rudraksha Malas are a common religious accessory in Hinduism, that are still used today as prayer beads. The malas are made by seeds of large evergreen broad-leaved trees with Elaeocarpus Ganitrus being the primary species. These seeds have popularly been associated to Lord Shiva and have been used by devotees while chanting mantras. It is said, Lord Shiva himself wears a Rudraksha garland.

I am wearing 4 Mukhi rudraksha for last 2 months and I haven’t seen any benefits yet. Does Rudraksha actually work?
@Surendra Hi Surendra,
3 Mukhi Rudraksha is associated with Lord Agni. Just like fire, 3 Mukhi Rudraksha burns and destroys negative energy, stress, and past bad karmas. It’ll make you feel relaxed, calm, and more self-confident.
I have been suggested to wear 3 Mukhi Rudraksha. What are its other benefits?
