Rudraksha: What Makes these Unassuming Seeds so Powerful and Sacred

People who received Rudraksha Diksha last year went through an online initiation by Sadhguru, after which he highlighted the significance of wearing a rudraksha and gave some guidelines on how to maintain it. On Mahashivratri 2022, Sadhguru consecrated 5 million rudraksha, which will be offered free to all. Find out how you can benefit from it.

Sadhguru: The rudraksha trees grow at a certain altitude, particularly in the Himalayan region. They also grow in southern India, but they are not of the same quality. The seed of the rudraksha tree has a very unique reverberation that assists a person who is trying to make their system function as a complete life by itself. That means to integrate your energies in such a way that you have a small cocoon of your own energies. Wherever you are, no matter in what kind of situation or what kind of company you are, you can be in a cocoon of your own energies which keeps you safe, well, and above all effective in whatever you wish to do.

A Seed That Integrates Your Energies

Any human being who can be swayed by external situations may end up doing things in life which are not necessarily what they really want. If you want to go towards the goals that you have set for yourself, it is very important to integrate your energies in such a way that you have a shell of your own. Otherwise, just about any aspect of life around you can sway you, disturb you, distract you, and take you off your path.

Once you wear rudraksha, a certain purity of body, thought, emotion, and energy must be maintained because it will organize your energies towards a more conscious existence.

Rudraksha seeds have a reverberation which helps you integrate your own energies. This is why rudraksha is a very personal thing. It is not something that you exchange with your friends. Once you wear a rudraksha, it slowly becomes part of your body in some way. It helps you put up a small shield to protect yourself from a variety of influences that can happen in your life.

Which Rudraksha Is Best for You?

There are various types of rudraksha. Generally, for those who live in family situations and who live social lives, it is best to wear a five-faced rudraksha or panchamukhi. Other rudraksha are made for other kinds of people. Those who are below twelve years of age can wear a shanmukhi or six-faced rudraksha. It will help them calm down and be more focused. Above all, they will receive the right type of attention from adults, which is very important for a child. There are rudraksha from single-faced up to fourteen faces.

All adults who are in regular social situations and family situations should use five-faced rudraksha. Other types of rudraksha must be prescribed for you. It is not advisable to just pick them up and wear them. They must always be given to you by someone who knows how they would reverberate with your system. Anything that has an impact on you must always be handled carefully and responsibly because the difference between positive and negative is like two sides of a coin – it depends on how you flip it. This is the nature of life.

How to Keep Your Rudraksha?

How you use your rudraksha is very important. Please do not keep the rudraksha on the floor, on a metal object, or stone. If you must put it down, keep it on a cotton or silk cloth. Once you receive a rudraksha, it is best that you thread it and wear it around your neck. Once you wear rudraksha, you are declaring to yourself and to the world that you are on the path of liberation. It is not just a symbolism; it is a device. Any device works to the extent we use it. Once you wear rudraksha, a certain purity of body, thought, emotion, and energy must be maintained because it will organize your energies towards a more conscious existence.

A Blessing of Pleasantness and Consciousness

Consciousness essentially means to be the way you want yourself to be. You may not be the way others want you to be, but you are the way you want yourself to be. At least this much must happen in everyone’s life. It is my wish and my blessing that this rudraksha should assist you towards this goal of becoming the way you want to be. And fortunately, at the deepest core, every individual wants to be pleasant.

You are striving to become a more pleasant human being. If pleasantness of the body, mind, emotion, and energy happens, creating pleasantness around you will be a natural outcome. It is my wish and my blessing that you should become a pleasant human being, and your presence should bring pleasantness to the world around you.
