This has also been proven by scientific research on Rudraksha done by a group of scientist and they have found that rudraksha have Bio-Magnetic properties. Naturally it has Dipolar nature which are good positive energies which will works on the human mindset/neurophysiology - leading to change in human personalities, character, mindset, outlook, charisma, confidence, tranquility, calmness and many more ...

Thus it leads to achievement of desire and removal of problems, opening ones inner consciousness and realisation of oneself. Another fact which we have seen is that after wearing rudrakshas whatever has to happen in a wearers life will happen, but will happen in lesser degree, the pain and suffering will not be so intense and the wearer will have refined inner understanding of the situation.
 

3. Where is Rudraksha produced ?
Although in various books it is written that rudrakshas are produced in different countries but all these remain as a myth and history. Rudrakshas as recorded in the scriptures are produced only in Nepal. It is produced only in one small area located in Eastern Nepal. Unusual things may occur in every subject so that some of the trees can also be grown in other parts of the world. Due to movement of people, migration of plants, seeds of rudraksha, cross-germination - hybrids are created. In conclusion Rudrakshas are produced only in Nepal where the climate and altitude supports the true nature and natural growth of rudrakshas.
 
4. How to feel the energies of Rudraksha?

Generally after wearing rudrakshas, within few days people will feel some purging effect that is clearing of the negative energies from the body. This clearing of the energies depends on the individual.  Some of the reactions are headache, heat/energy flush around the face, slight rashes, stomach pain and for some people diarrheoa and vomiting.

During this time keep wearing rudrakshas as these symptoms last for one - two days and there is no need of medical help. Drink lots of warm water as it helps to clear negative energies and toxins from the body fast. For some wearers during the first few days of wearing they feel very alert and cannot sleep at night due to high energies of the rudrakshas, so remove the rudraksha and put near the head region and sleep.

Some people feel they cannot wear rudraksha mala and feel some kind of unknown disturbances. During this time do not remove the mala from the body as it is clearing energies from the aura and body around the person as well as the energies from the rudrakshas are trying to synergise with the body energy. If you remove the mala and decide to wear again you will feel the same purging effects which will subside and synergise with your body within a few days.
 

For marjority of wearers when they first wear the rudraksha mala they feel elevated high energies - we call it the "high effect".  Within the first few days, they see and feel changes in their life, higher confidence and self-esteem, improvement in charisma and communicative skills and many more.  For some, the effects are slow. For some, results is very fast and they can see the achievement of their desires and resolvement of their current problems.
 
5. Who can wear Rudrakshas ? 

According to the scriptures there is no restriction of wearing rudraksha by any cast, any gender, any age group and any religion. Rudrakshas are fruits produced naturally so anyone from any religion and belief can wear it. In ancient times nepal and many other countries used to be part of hindu empire so the sages (scientist) wrote about the benefits in their scriptures/text/records in sanskrit. In the market you will find misconstrued information that it can be worn by hindus only. In the scriptures it has been mentioned clearly that it is the bead to be used to remove sins and sufferings of human. So every human in this world can enjoy the benefits of rudrakshas.
 

According to Srimaddevibhagavatam (the oldest holy books), it describe the origin of Rudraksha on its eleven chapter -VII
khanda as follows: "Person who wears rudraksha with or without faith, with or without mantra chanting  and with or without energising it get full benefits "
 

6. Does Rudraksha gives harmful or negative effects ?

Rudraksha will never give negative energies, will never be harmful or will never give negative side effects. Rudraksha only provide beneficial and positive results. Rudraksha is a natural seed produced naturally on a tree and it is a living item because if you plant it in soil, it germinates. Scientifically it has been proven that rudraksha has biomagnetic, inductive and dipolar nature so whatever energies it absorbs from the environment and from the body, it converts into positive energies which is uncomparable to crystals and made-made amulets. Another fact is that rudraksha controls all nine planets in our cosmos whereas gem stones are controlled by its specific planets. In conclusion rudraksha will never give side effects or harm whereas gem stones can give negative energies or harmful effects if wrongfully recommended and used.
 
Rudrakshas itself represent Lord Shiva. It has many herbal properties, it is grown in the Himalayan region which is organic and high in energy. In reality the Puranas specifically state that Rudrakshas do not harm under any circumstance and contemporary scientific studies have found that Rudraksha do not harm. It has found that the Holy Rudraksha will never harm and never give negative influence because it is not their nature and this is not what Lord Shiva intended for them to do, when he shed his Tears for the benefit of Mankind.

11. While wearing Rudrakshas, if some thorny part of rudrakshas is chipped off or if  hairline crack appears inside the lines (mukhi) can we continue to wear rudrakshas and does it have the same power ?

As you all know rudraksha is a fruit with seeds inside it.  Each lines (mukhi) have seeds inside and the seeds are protected in the compartments/chambers. Due to dehydration, rudrakshas sometimes shrink or sometimes due to unexplained phenomena the rudrakshas expand.  During this phenomena some small hairline cracks will appear in the gaps of lines. This is a common phenomena. Hairline crack do not reduce the power of rudraksha and it does not reduce its logitivity. It makes you aware that you should apply the oil on the rudraksha at least weekly.
 

Sometimes while wearing rudrakshas small thorn parts is chipped off due to wear and tear which is common. The  power as well as effects are not affected by the chips. If the rudraksha is destroyed such as, the seeds inside is destroyed due to breakage or more than 60% of the rudraksha surface is destroyed by insect or by human act then it losses most of its power. The rudraksha should be ethically disposed and should not be worn.
 

12. What should be the criteria for the best beads ?

The Rudraksha beads should have clear distinctive lines, strong and should have the hardness. If someone tries to press his nail on the surface of rudraksha and if the nail depress the rudraksha surface it should be discarded. If the nail cannot depress the surface of the bead it is the best bead to wear.

13. Whats the difference of Rudrakshas from Nepal and Indonesia ?
Rudrakhas from Nepal has distinctive compartments, formation and has well developed large seeds compared to Indonesian beads. The main component of energy comes from the seeds in the rudrakshas.

As recorded in the scriptures:
 

• Rudrakshas are only found in Nepal - distinctive in looks and size
• Indrakshas are found in Indonesia -  also known as muki muki
• Badrakshas are found in India - without holes

In each country the land, nature, earth, karma and energetics is different. Thus the energy from the beads will be different from where they are produced. Spiritually there is a huge difference between Nepal and Indonesian beads.

The level of energy is higher in Rudrakshas found in Nepal as it has Dipolar, Inductive and Biomagnetic properties. Another phenomena as stated in the scriptures is 'irrespective whether you believe in the bead or not, it will work '
 

The level of energy is very much lower in Indonesian beads as it does not have Dipolar nor Biomagnetic properties. Its usage is based on your believe system similar to an amulet.
 

• Rudrakshas from Nepal gives a golden/yellow/turquoise hue - which is a higher frequency
• Rudrakshas from Indonesia gives a red / brown hue - which is of lower frequency

If you are working on your career, relationship, monetary and spiritual goals - higher frequency is better as they do not disrupt the positive nature of the person. Positively charged higher frequency only improves the nature of the person giving positive results.

14. How to recognize a Fake rudraksha ?
Nowadays there are lots of Fake rudrakshas sold in the market. Higher faces are either super glued or the lines are well cut that even an experienced seller/wearer of rudrakshas is deceived easily. Retailers/online sellers of such rudrakshas do not care if the beads are genuine or not.

There is no lab or other scientific test that can exactly pinpoint the original rudraksha or duplicate rudraksha. Even duplicate rudrakshas are tested as original by lab test because of high manipulation when making of these fake rudraksha. The only test for identifying original rudrakshas is by Eye Test. By looking at the rudrakshas, an expert eye can be easily differentiate original and duplicate rudrakshas.
