One of the most common questions that I encounter regarding Rudraksha is 'is it effective? ' or 'does it work? ' or sometimes customers come and say 'the Rudraksha you gave me working very good' and sometimes Rudraksha you gave is not working’, then I wonder how they know it is working or not?

Nepali Rudraksha is often considered to be of higher quality and potency than Java Rudraksha. This is because Nepali Rudraksha seeds are believed to have a higher concentration of the divine energy of Lord Shiva, who is considered the patron of the Rudraksha. Nepali Rudraksha is also larger in size, has well-defined mukhis (facets), and is often more expensive.

The name "rudraksha" comes from the Sanskrit words "rudra," meaning "Lord Shiva," and "aksha," meaning "tear drops." According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva meditated for thousands of years and when he opened his eyes, tears fell to the ground and became the first rudraksha trees. Rudraksha beads are found in different sizes and shapes, and each type has a different number of faces or "mukhi." The most common types are the 5-faced (panch mukhi) beads.
