The power of rudraksha seeds can be traced all the way back to the formation of Hindu meditation systems in 2300 B.C. The word ‘rudraksha’ is a compound of two Sanskrit words,rudra andakṣa.Rudra is one of Lord Shiva's vedic names andakṣa means 'teardrops'. Rudraksha literally means Lord Shiva's teardrops.This name refers to an Upanishad text in which Shiva was said to have cried out of compassion for sentient beings. The tears then transformed into rudraksha trees, bringing benefit to beings connected with the sacred tree.
