The glory of Rudhraksham is boundless. Elders say that Rudhraksham is the uniqueness of Shiva. They are the eyes of Rudhra. It is called ‘Thirukanmani’ in tamil. Rudhraksham has a special feature which is not found in other seeds. By nature, Rudhraksham is the only seed which has a hole in it. In India Rudhraksham can be found in Nepal.
– Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Mahaswamiji
I am a rudraksha buff. f there is one thing that I can’t resist is spending time on “Rudraksha” :-). One thing that surprises me is Chennai for its size don’t seem to have a rudraksha speciality stores – I don’t consider Giri trader as a specialty store in this regard. They have lot of things and rudraksha is one of 1000 things they sell…However there are lots of such shops in Bombay it seems…
It says that every saivite should do three things at all times (1) have viboothi on the forehead (2) wear rudraksha (3) chant panchaksharam.
Om Nama Shivaya!
