The name rudraksha (sanskrit: rudrฤkแนฃa) stems from Hindu mythology and means โthe eyes of Shiva.โ It is believed Lord Shiva meditated on the welfare of mankind and emerged crying tears of compassion. Upon hitting the earth, Shivaโs tears crystallized to form trees. Upon these trees grew the rudraksha seeds.
