‘Rudra’ refers to Lord Shiva and ‘Aksha’ means tears. Hence, 'rudraksha' means 'Lord Shiva’s tears'. According to legend, when Lord Shiva opened his eyes after a long time, his tears fell upon the earth and wherever those tears fell, a rudraksha tree grew.
The rudraksha beads are the seeds within the rudraksha fruits which open up by themselves when placed in water. Rudraksha trees are mostly found in Nepal, India, Burma, and Indonesia.
