New Video: Rudraksha Beads: A Yogi’s Perspective
The major focus of the yogi’s thoughts is his interior consciousness and the inner processes of yoga sadhana. Yet some external factors can be helpful in his sadhana. One thing which has long been considered beneficial to the yogi’s general state of health and awareness is the wearing of a rudraksha mala–a garland-string of one hundred and eight rudraksha beads, each of which is separated by a knot on the thread on which they are strung.
The word “rudraksha” is commonly considered to mean “eye of Rudra (Shiva),” but it can also mean “saving protection (raksha) of Rudra (Shiva).” This second meaning is the one most relevant to the yogi.
Rudraksha beads are the round seeds of the rudraksha tree. There are many kinds of rudraksha beads according to the number of facets or “faces” each possesses. These faces are determined by the number of vertical lines on the bead.
All rudraksha beads have a definite effect on the wearer, but for the yogi, the most beneficial rudraksha beads are those with five faces. For more specifics on the benefits of wearing Rudraksha beads for the yogi, you can watch the video below, or read this article on our website.
