• About the Product
This sacred rudraksha mala, also known as the original rudraksha mala, rudraksha chain, or ruthratcham malai, is made from spiritually potent rudraksha seeds revered in Hindu tradition. Worn by sages and devotees for centuries, this sacred strand of beads is used in japa (mantra chanting), meditation, and daily worship. Traditionally consisting of 108 beads plus one meru bead, it is valued for supporting inner clarity, spiritual growth, and energetic protection.
• Origins of Rudraksha Beads
The origin of rudraksha beads is rooted in Hindu mythology, where it is believed that Lord Shiva’s tears fell to the earth and gave rise to the rudraksha tree. The sacred fruits from this tree yield beads known for their divine vibration and purity. Wearing a rudraksha mala is believed to connect the wearer to Lord Shiva’s energy. The original rudraksha mala is especially important in Shaivism, symbolizing a devotee’s bond with the cosmic source.
• The rudraksha chain has long been popular in spiritual centers across India and Nepal and is increasingly sought after by spiritual communities in the United States. In Tamil Nadu, the ruthratcham malai is a common part of temple worship and family traditions. Among yoga practitioners and meditators in the West, this sacred mala is worn for its calming effects and spiritual symbolism.
• Uses and Applications: The rudraksha mala is ideal for daily chanting, meditation, and ritual use. It is often worn around the neck or wrist or placed near deities in home altars. During poojas, the rudraksha chain is used to chant sacred mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya.” Many spiritual seekers wear it as a shield against negativity and as a tool for focusing the mind during prayer or silence.
• Storage and Care: To ensure longevity and sanctity, keep the original rudraksha mala in a soft cloth pouch or wooden box, ideally stored in a pooja space. Avoid contact with water, soap, or fragrance products. Periodically wiping the beads and applying a small amount of natural oil can help maintain their energy and natural form.
• The ruthratcham malai is closely associated with the worship of Lord Shiva, particularly during occasions like Mahashivaratri, Pradosham, and Monday fasts. It is also presented during spiritual observances like Guru Purnima. Wearing a rudraksha mala during such times deepens devotion and is believed to draw divine blessings into the wearer’s life.
