Significance
There is a long tradition of wearing Rudraksha beads in India, especially among the Shaivis, because of their relationship with Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva himself wore rudraksha wreaths. The Om Shivaya Namah spell is repeated (japa) using the beads r udraksha .
Although there is no special prohibition, it is more common for women to wear beads made of other materials, such as pearls.
The Rudraksha beads can be assembled as m? L? and is used to calculate the repetition of a mantra or prayer, similar to the use of a rosary in Christianity. Most of the necklaces contain 108 beads plus one, for it is considered sacred and several times suitable for short spell. Extra beads, called "meru", bindu or "bead teacher", help mark the beginning and end cycle 108, and has a symbolic value as a 'principle' bead. It is believed that, as a sacred material, the beads of rudraksha are able to retain the enchanted enchantment of the mantra and help the devotee in his spiritual concentration and development.
Single rudraksha beads can be worn on the neck as a form of protection, or on the skin in the form of other jewelry such as bracelets and earrings.
When the beads are strung together, a silk or cotton thread is used. Less often, jewelry can use copper, silver or gold wire, although Rudraksha may be damaged if strung too tightly.
M? L? can be worn all the time, including in the bathroom. The devout Hindus can follow other rules while wearing Rudraksha beads, such as avoiding eating meat and alcohol, as part of a chosen lifestyle.
It is possible to carry one seed or several seeds that are strung together on the same thread. Small grains are used for rosaries that normally contain 27, 54 or 108 seeds (sometimes 109 when "seed teacher" is added, with the image of the teacher the pupil worship).

The surface of Rudraksha must be harsh and the projection must be grooved, as found in most of Nepal's Rudrakshas. Rudraksha Indonesia has a different appearance. Rudraksha from India shows a very high and deep projection that resembles natural hills and valleys.
Mukhi's face/appearance
There are many examples of underdeveloped face, a naturally occurring, partially formed, or shaped in Rudraksha from all locations. Fully developed faces are the easiest to calculate and can deliver greater value than their normal market standard. The face is underdeveloped, faces together, face partially formed, and the face is not formed create confusion among traders, and really can change significantly rudraksha price. There is no single standard used among traders to illustrate Rudraksha's counting method.

Modify
Sometimes incomplete paths are solved by human processes to increase the bead's selling power or to gain more value. Such work on the groove is done with basic tools such as chainsaws, files, etc. The face of Rudraksha must be formed naturally not made by human effort; if Rudraksha has a modified face, the faces should not be "counted", and the beads should be classified as Modified or Tempered Rudraksha.

Rudraksha seeds are covered by blue outer skin when it is ripe, and for this reason it is also known as blueberry beads. The blue color does not come from the pigment but is structural.

The word rudraksha comes from Rudra (Shiva - the Hindu god of all living things) and aksha (eye). One Hindu legend says that once Lord Shiva opened his eyes after a long time of yoga meditation, and because of his strong feelings, he shed tears. The single tears from Shiva's eyes grow on the rudraksha tree. It is believed that by wearing Rudraksha beads one will have the protection of Lord Shiva. Rudraksha fruit is blue, but black when dried. Center hard seeds may have 1 to 21 faces.

Definition and meaning of the word Rudraksha
The word rudraksha comes from two words - rudra (?????) and aksha (????).
A. Aksha means "Eye" in Sanskrit. Rudra and aksha together mean "one who is able to see and do everything" (for example, the third eye). Aksha also means "axis". Because the eye can rotate on one axis, it is also known as "aksha".
B. Rudra is one of the Vedic names of Shiva. A (?) Means receiving and ksha (???) means giving. Therefore, aksha (????) indicates the ability to accept or give. Rudraksha is a person who has the ability to wipe tears and give happiness.
The rudra tree (rudhir, rudraksha)
A. The creation of the rudraksha tree from the deepest meditation tears spilled by Rudra (Shiva) after seeing the evil behavior of the sons of Tarakasur's demon, and their destruction by Shiva:
Through their godly conduct and devotion to Shiva, the son of Tarakasur Tadinmali, Tarakaksh and Kamalaksh, attains divinity. After some time, seeing that they have returned to their true unrighteous behavior, Shankar (Shiva) is grieved and goes to the deepest meditation, and his eyes are filled with tears. Some of these tears fall to the earth; a tree sprung from these trees, which came to be known as the Rudraksha tree. Later, Shiva destroys Tarakasur's sons. "-Gurudev Dr. Kateswamiji
B. General information about Rudraksha trees: found from sea level up to 3000 m above. Rudraksha trees grow in narrow space, not in open land. The leaves are similar to Javanese acid or nux vomica, but are longer. This produces one to two thousand pieces per year. The Yatis (Hermit) in the Himalayas survive only on these fruits. These fruits are also known as amritphala (Nectar Fruit). They quench their thirst.
