Rudraksha seeds are also called "Shiva's tears" because there is a story that as Shiva opened his eyes after meditating for humanity, he wept tears that turned into seeds as they struck the ground, and these seeds grew into the rudraksha tree. Much like a rosary, these beads are primarily used as prayer beads, with each bead marking the repetition of a prayer or a mantra. Malas come in many styles and beads types. In addition to using a mala for prayer or meditation, wearing one throughout the day will also be a constant reminder of your spiritual path.
