Chapter V

The holy Rudraksha Beads have been named the Tears of Lord Shiva and are the original Vedic Beads of Power worn by the saints and yogis of India and the Himalayas for thousands of years, enabling them to maintain health, gain self empowerment and live the fearless life on their path to enlightenment and final liberation.

The Electromagnetic Properties of the Rudraksha Beads have been found to improve concentration, focus and mental stamina. Due to these same properties it was found that wearing these beads around the heart reduced and controlled stress levels, blood pressure and hypertension, resulting in the feeling of tranquility and calmness. In the Spiritual Practices, the Rudaksha Beads were found to be ideal for focused Meditation and for Health and Protection on life's journey.

Historically, the positive effects that have been exhibited in the wearer's Neurophysiology, Mental Well Being, Personality and Physical Health has resulted in their being used widely by people of Eastern Cultures in India, Nepal, Tibet and China by Hindus and Buddhists.

It is remarkable to consider that natural beads of vegetable matter from the Rudraksha tree affect the human Neurophysiology as described in Vedic Literature. However, recent scientific research has found Vedic Knowledge to be right regarding the positive effects that are produced when the holy Rudraksha Beads are worn on the body.

Though the values and merits of the Rudraksha Beads had been known as a phenomenon for generations in Vedic Knowledge, it is only since the late 1980s that they have become more prominent particularly after the research done by a group of scientists lead by Dr. Subas Rai, Phd., of the Institute of Technology University in Banaras, India.

A combined study was conducted to research the Biomedical Implications of Rudraksha with the Departments of Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering, Psychiatry, General Medicine and Psychology. This study documented and proved the powers and effects of Rudraksha Beads scientifically with reproducible results. This study was printed in a book by Dr. Rai that is named Rudraksha - Properties and Biomedical Implications.

The research from the study proved that Rudraksha Beads have powerful Electromagnetic, Paramagnetic and Inductive Properties that vary from the different mukhis or faces found on each bead (the different number of lines or faces found on the surface of each bead). They also found that wearing or performing Japa with a particular mukhi or set of mukhis of the Rudraksha Beads created specific electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the process of galvanic skin response stimulating certain brain centers that transfer information.

This Bioelectric stimulation affects the Biochemical System in the brain, creating a positive impact on the activity of neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin levels that is evidenced by the positive transformation in the personality, mindset, outlook, charisma and the confidence of the wearer.

In scientific terms, the Rudraksha Beads are Dielectric as they store electrical energy and they have permanent magnetic properties that change with the different mukhi beads. Properties found inherent in the Rudraksha Beads include Electromagnetism, Paramagnetism, Diamagnetism and Dynamic Polarity, meaning the ability to change polarity.
