Rudraksha, believed in Hindu tradition to have sprung from the tears of Lord Shiva, holds a deeply revered place in spiritual culture. Devotees consider it a symbol of Shiva’s energy — a seed said to offer protection, calmness, and spiritual strength. As legend tells it, when Rudra’s tears touched the Earth, they sprouted into trees whose fruits later became Rudraksha beads. Over centuries, these beads have become an identity symbol for Shaivites, sages, priests, yogis, and seekers.
