Rudraksha, also known as Mukhi Stone, is the name given to a dried seed that comes from the Elaeocarpus Ganitrus tree. The name is derived from sand script and translates to “Lord Rudra’s Teadrops”. Rudra is the name of Shiva, a primal soul of the universe, and “Aksa” means tear or teardrops. The tree that Rudraksha comes from can be found in multiple locations, mainly India, Nepal, Hawaii, Indonesia, and Australia. When Rudraksha is found in its fruit form its blue-hued berries resemble that of a small pitted cherry in the west.
