Chakra Yog - Insight on Rudraksha-Re-Energize

Your Life

When Rudraksha is a well-known term in Hinduism and one who is familiar can instantly imagine

a betel nut kind of a seed which is bigger in size and is filled with powers. The seed is completely

Elaeocarpus ganitrus is the most preferred specie that is used to prepare the bead-making the

start from one end and meet the other end of the bread. There are several kinds of these beads that

Of all types, the 1 mukhi (EK MUKHI) Rudraksha is the most powerful and rarest; the 5 mukhi

(PANCHMUKHI) type is the common as it is widely available.
