Indian Hindu Prayer Beads: "Rudraksha"

These are Indian Hindu prayer beads called "rudraksha." The beads are the dried seeds of a stonefruit. The term rudraksha refers both to the berries themselves and to the type of prayer beads, or mala, made from them.

A rudraksha consists of 108 beads used for counting repetitive prayer, a common aid to worship in Hinduism. Rudraksha mala has been used by Hindus, as well as Sikhs and Buddhists, since the 10th century for meditation purposes.

The word rudraksha is derived from Rudra, a precursor to the deity Shiva, and aksa meaning eyes.

Hinduism is the oldest living religion, about 4,000 – 5,000 years old, in which people believe that Brahman is the creator, preserver and transformer of existence. Gods that are part of Brahman include Vishnu, the preserver god, and Shiva, the god of destruction. Hinduism came from India. No one person founded the religion. There are many Hindu holy books. Hindus honor their deities through worship. Hindus tell stories of the ways that the gods interact with each other and with humans. Hindus believe in rebirth after death (reincarnation); their goal is to escape the movement of the soul into another body and to become one with Brahman.
