Rudraksha is a Sanskrit compound word consisting of the name Rudra (Shiva) and Aksha (Eyes). Rudra and Aksha refer to the one who is capable of looking at and witnessing everything through the divine third eye. Aksha also means axis, since the eye can rotate on one axis. Rudraksha comes from large evergreen broad-leaved trees, whose beads are traditionally used for prayer in Hinduism. These seeds are produced by several species of Elaeocarpus, with E. ganitrus being the principal species.
Ganesha Rudraksha is very beneficial for seeking material and spiritual benefits in life.

Ganesha Rudraksha Test
There are various traditional tests used to examine the originality of Rudraksha.
Thermometer Test
This test is traditionally described as an easy method that can be performed to check the bead. Place the Rudraksha in a glass containing a small amount of water and record the temperature after 30 minutes. A traditional observation of a 1 or 2 degree centigrade rise in temperature has been described as an indication of an original bead.
However, such home tests should not be treated as definitive proof of authenticity. Professional examination and certification are preferable when originality is important.
