Rudrakshas

The name 'Rudraksha' stems from Hindu mythology and means the tears of Shiva. God Shiva meditated on the well-being of mankind and raised tears of compassion. The tears crystallized after hitting the earth and turned into Rudraksha's. Since then, they have been sacred berries for the Hindus and are often used for making malas.

Rudrakshas are rare and precious.
For many centuries they have been worn spiritually and used for puja and meditation, by Hindus and Buddhists. Rudraksha beads are considered very sacred and healing in their effect on the owner or user. In the Vedas, the Rudrakshas are also mentioned as Ayurvedic medicine in addition to the use of malas.

Care

Wash the mala every now and then with water and natural soap to remove dirt and dust and rub it with natural oil. They will darken naturally over time. This is the desired effect, as the natural (body) oils penetrate the Rudrakshas and make them stronger. Therefore, wear the beads as close to the skin as possible.

If you do not want to wear the mala for a while, keep the rudraksha mala in the storage bag supplied by us and place it in a special, clean and preferably sacred space. Keep the mala off the ground and incense the mala especially when it is not being used for a long time.

Durability

The Rudrakshas are sustainably harvested, fairly traded and ethically produced in Bali.
The production provides a large number of jobs to the local population. The employees not only receive a fair salary, they also share 10% of the profit.
The production process is sustainable and fair from planting the Eleacarpus (Rudraksha) trees on sustainable plantations in Southeast Asia, harvesting the Rudraksha's and manufacturing the handmade jewelry. It is important that the Rudraksha trees donate new Rudraksha's every season and that no trees are lost for making the malas.
