The seed of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus granitrus) holds a very special place in Hinduism, and is credited to possess mystical and divine properties. Necklaces made of Rudraksha beads are considered auspicious as well as powerful, and are supposed to have profound astrological and ayurvedic benefits. It is believed that one who wears Rudraksha is untouched by sins, and is protected from all impious deeds or thoughts.
Nowadays, they seem to come in all shapes and sizes, and available at every little
shop that sells alternative medicines, including a host of online stores. But
make sure you get the real stuff. Imitations look real but don't work! Here's
how to identify a genuine Rudraksha seed:
1. A real Rudraksha bead will never float on water.
2. Even if you boil a real Rudraksha in water for 6 hours, there would no effect
on the bead. A fake will easily disintegrate.
3. A good Rudraksha bead will not be broken at any end.
4. A 'healthy' bead should have well defined and natural corns and
contours.
your concept is not at all clear.

Thanks to Shuvamoy for his fantastic article. I heard about Rudraksha tree to use in religious views in Hindu myth-on but made me clear. I know its use on Positive sign and used to make medicine. I will try when will be in India.
Thank you so much for this write up on Rudraksh. Now I know how to get a real seed.
If possible can you send me in Malayalam language Hinduisum letters? Some of the contents specially in” Vedas” and our Holy Books in English I cannot understand.
Dear Subhamoy Das,
I think we should pay respect and remember for an other great loss of this year 2011..
It is Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi) (March 21, 1923 – February 23, 2011) , who was the founder of Sahaja Yoga, a new religious movement.To her devotees she declared that she was the complete incarnation of the Adi Shakti.She has been nominated twice for the Nobel Price and honored numerous awards for her contributions to the peace, health and well being of the humankind in almost 100 countries.
“Within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. We cannot seek it outside. We have to go within.” Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
She has been a great teacher and her teachings always will be remembered.JAI SHRI MATAJ!!!
