According to various Hindu religious texts, it is said that Rudraksha beads originally came from the tears of Shiva. According to legend, Shiva was said to have spent over 1000 years meditating and upon opening his eyes tears showered the earth giving birth to Rudraksha trees. Rudraksha beads are usually strung together as a Mala and are used to count repetitions of mantras and prayers. Many Hindu people wear Rudraksha Malas at all times and don’t even take them off in the shower. Many also when wearing Rudraksha Malas abstain from eating meat and drinking alcohol.
