We search for spirituality all over the place, no one tells us, it resides inside us all.
Rudrakh also known as bluberry beads are traditionally used in Hinduism (especially Shavism) as a prayer bead. Rudra is one of Lord Shiva's vedic name and aksa means tear drops. The beads are said to be Lord Rudra's Teardrops. There is a long tradition of wearing rudraksha beads in India, particularly within Shaivism, due to their association with Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva himself wears rudraksha garlands. The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' is repeated (japa) using the rudraksha beads. Meditation has been a part of ones daily life and counting Rudrakh beads that are usually strung together in a thread; mala while chantting Om Namah Shivaya per bead is a pattern that has been successfully followed and repected in Hinduism. Most malas include 108 beads, that make the chant to be 108 times per round.
This method makes a person focus on the soothing chanting sounds which trigger different parts of our brain and the counting of beads so that one could meditate easily and efficiently.
I consider Rudrakhsa mala, a beautiful accessory as well as an amazing and easy to go spritual tool.
