Benefits of Wearing A Rudraksha

The world has many followers of the Rudraksha bead. And why not, after all, this highly spiritual bead is a treasure trove of many benefits. These beads are typically tied together as a mala or as a string of beads. Scientifically, it is believed that the number of beads that should be strung into the mala should be 108 plus one additional bead. This additional bead represents the bindu.
