Rudraksha And Its Origin 

The story related to the origin of Rudraksha is found in the Shiva Mahapurana. According to Shiva Mahapurana, Lord Shiva once attained Samadhi for 1000 years. When he came back in contact with the outside world from this Samadhi, a stream of tears came out of his eye for the welfare of the world, and when these tears fell on the earth, Rudraksha trees originated from them. The fruits that grow on these trees are called Rudraksha Beads. According to Hinduism, Rudraksha is considered to be the destroyer of sins and diseases and provider of success and accomplishment. Different benefits can be attained by wearing different types of Rudraksha in different parts of the body.

• Apart from this, you can carry out another simple solution: put Rudraksha in water. If it drowns, then that Rudraksha is fake.
• If Rudraksha’s colour darkens when dipped in mustard oil, it is identified as a real bead. Generally, dark-coloured rudraksha is considered good and light-coloured ones are not considered as good and effective. However, after peeling off the Rudraksha, an artificial colour is applied to it. Rudraksha changes its colour to black and dark brown since it is frequently worn and remains exposed to oil or sweat.
