Rudraksha is a Sanskrit word. If we split this word into two we get these two words Rudra and Aksha. Rudra means Lord Shiva and Aksha means Aansu(tears) of Lord Shiva. According to Hindu Mythology, tears of Shiva fell on earth in the form of Rudraksha tree. The Rudraksha tree belongs to Elaecarpaceae family and is as huge as the Banyan tree which has seed covered with pulp and outer skin. After drying, the skin turns black and grooves appear on the surface running from apex to the bottom, there by demarcating clear areas called ‘Mukha or faces’. The Rudraksha are classified on the basis of number of faces, which can range from one to twenty one. Sometimes Rudraksha are found in twins which are considered to be symbols of Lord Shiva and Parvati (Goddess). They are known as Gauri Shankar Rudrakshas. In the same way if three Rudrakshas are together they are considered the symbol of Shiva, Shakti and Ganesha or Bramha, Vishnu, Mahesh. But these types of Rudrakshas are very rarely available. Scriptures like Rudraksha Jabalopanished, Shiva Purana, Devi Purana and Padma Purana extol the value of Rudraksha seeds.
