Imagine being told that a small, sacred seed can help you manage a serious health condition
like type 2 diabetes. Sounds unbelievable right? But that’s exactly what happened to me. In
2023 I came to know that I have type 2 diabetes. Since then I have struggled with maintaining
my fluctuating blood sugar levels and keeping my body healthy.
I started using diabetes medicine and working out. It kept my sugar levels normal but I did not
want to be dependent on medicines. I did some research and found out that allopathic
medicines can cause serious side effects like cardiac arrest. So I decided to look for some
alternative therapies and then a chance encounter with an ancient remedy – Rudraksha –
changed everything.
Do you know that over 400 million people around the world have type 2 diabetes? It needs
constant vigilance Maintaining the blood sugar level needs continuous efforts and vigilance.
There are modern treatments available which include taking pills and insulin.
But many people like me don’t like to intake chemicals in their body daily and are searching for
some natural methods to cope with this condition. That’s where Rudraksha, came to my rescue.
In this blog, I’ll explain how this sacred seed has become a key part of my journey to managing
diabetes naturally.
What is Rudraksha?
It is a dried seed that comes from the fruit of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus Ganitrus)
Which is found in the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia including Nepal, Indonesia,
Thailand, Myanmar, and Malaysia.
Rudraksha seeds have been revered in Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries for their spiritual
and healing properties. They are used in prayer beads and are believed to bring peace, clarity,
and protection to the wearer.
There are different kinds of Rudraksha seeds, they are categorized based on the number of
faces each seed has. The numbers go from Ek mukhi (single-faced) to Barah mukhi (12-faced).
Each type of seed is considered to hold some unique spiritual significance.
Along with its spiritual significance, Rudrakhsha is also believed to have therapeutic benefits,
making it a popular choice for those seeking natural ways to support their health and well-being.
The Sacred Origins of Rudraksha
Rudraksha is made up of two words Rudra + Aksha meaning Tears of Rudra. According to the
legends, once Shiva entered a deep state of meditation for a very long time. When he finally
opened his eyes, drops of tears fell from his eyes due to compassion.
Those fallen teardrops sprouted into the Rudraksha tree and since then the Rudraksha seeds
have been considered sacred and believed to carry the divine energy of Lord Shiva.
For thousands of years spiritual seekers have been wearing Rudraksha beads as necklaces,
bracelets, or Japa malas (prayer beads), they are used in prayers, meditation practices, and for
overall well-being.
Each bead is considered to have unique properties and the number of “mukhi” (faces) is
believed to influence its spiritual power.
Rudraksha is also believed to be a symbol of divine connection and protection. Devotees wear
Rudraksha to help them achieve inner peace, clarity of mind, and spiritual growth. It is believed
to have positive effects on physical health such as reducing stress, regulating blood pressure
and even helping with certain ailments.
How it works?
A Rudraksha is considered to create a shield around the wearer. Once it is properly energized
and regularly worn during meditation and prayers, it absorbs the energies of the wearer and
then creates a shield of positive energy around them, protecting them from any negative
energies, emotions, or ailments. It is also known to lower blood pressure, keep the mind calm
and clear, and enhance focus during meditation.
My Experience with type 2 diabetes
Facing the Diagnosis
Diabetes has always been a part of my family, something I knew I would have to face one day.
But when I was diagnosed, it felt like the ground had been pulled under me. I never expected
this to happen so soon.
Almost every member of my family, on both my mother’s and father’s side, has fought diabetes.
It was something I knew I could not dodge was inevitable, but when the doctor told me the
news, it still hit hard.
He said that usually, this happens after 40. But here I was, already dealing with it in my early
30s. I was sad but still was trying to uplift and motivate myself, that I would fight this too and
wouldn’t let it beat me.
I was given a list of foods I will have to say no to from now then. I could no longer sugar, no rice,
no potatoes, no red meat. Exercise became non-negotiable; I had to involve myself in regular
physical activities like walking or swimming.
Determined to be healthy and effectively manage this condition, I took these instructions to
heart. For the past year and a half, I’ve been diligently following this new lifestyle.
Conventional Treatment and Its Challenges
I cut out sugar completely, avoided the forbidden foods, and adopted exercise in my daily
routine. Meditation was a huge help this whole time. It helped me immensely to maintain mental
clarity and anxiety. I was taking the diabetes medicines daily.
However, I never liked the idea of being dependent on pills for the rest of my life, especially
when I started researching the medicines, I found out that these medicines can also have some
possible side effects if taken for long periods.
They might weaken the body, and in some cases, they’ve been linked to cardiac problems. My
aunt, who has been a diabetes patient for the last 8 years has survived two heart attacks.
Seeing her made me more fearful of the idea of taking medicine. But I had no other choice also,
I could not maintain my sugar levels if I skipped my pills.
But I had to find some other way, I had a hope that alternative medical practices like Ayurveda
and traditional Chinese medicines might help with my condition. So I started researching about
such therapies. I wasn’t ready to accept that my only path forward was one paved with pills and
potential side effects.
Discovering Rudraksha
I tried ayurvedic medicines, and while they helped a little, they did not completely control my
sugar levels. When I was first diagnosed, my blood sugar level was around 350. The ayurvedic
medicines brought it down to under 200 but it was still higher.
That’s when I came to know about Rudraksha. As an Indian and born in a Hindu family, I have
always known about the spiritual significance of Rudraksha, but I never knew that it is also
helpful in maintaining overall health and wellness.
The idea intrigued me, but I hesitated. I knew that there were some rules and rituals associated with wearing Rudraksha,
and I used to think that if I could not adhere to the rules of wearing it, then I should not wear such a sacred item.
But now I needed the help and was willing to try anything that might improve my health. With a
determined heart, I bowed down to Lord Shiva, promising to follow all the rules and live a
disciplined life, and finally decided to buy a Rudraksha mala for me.
Now I’ve been wearing a Rudraksha mala for the past two months, and I must say, the
difference is remarkable. My mind feels calmer and clearer, and I have more control over my
thoughts. I sense a stronger spiritual connection, and my ability to concentrate during meditation
has significantly improved. While I had read about these benefits earlier, experiencing them
firsthand has been truly gratifying.
However, my primary concern was my blood sugar levels. From the day I started wearing
Rudraksha, I stopped all my medications while keeping my diet and workout routine the same.
Over these two months,I’ve checked my blood sugar twice, and the results have been astonishing.
My sugar levels are completely under control. I was shocked the first time I checked the results,
I thought it might be due to the Placebo effect so after one month I went for the second test and the result was the
same. For consequently two months my blood sugars have been under control and I am not
taking any medicines for that.
Not only that, but I also notice that my skin looks more radiant, I feel more energetic, and a
sense of calm that I’ve never experienced before. Stress no longer affects me, not even for a
moment. It feels like a miracle. That is the only thing I can say because I tried everything else
and nothing helped me, but wearing a simple bead has brought so many benefits. What else is
that if not a miracle?
I placed my faith in Lord Shiva, and He did not let me down. I could have never imagined that a
spiritual bead could have such a profound impact on a serious health condition.
Unlocking the Power of Rudraksha
After experiencing the results firsthand, I strongly encourage anyone looking for natural
remedies for their health issues to try this powerful seed at least once. Whether you’re looking
for health benefits or seeking spiritual growth, I highly recommend giving this incredible gift from
Lord Shiva a chance. It’s a transformational experience, and I can vouch for that.
Beyond its spiritual and health benefits, wearing Rudraksha brings a sense of discipline and
order to your life in ways you might never have imagined. It’s more than just a bead — it’s a tool
for profound change.
But there are some rules one must follow to wear Rudraksha and get benefits from it. Don’t
think of it as just a simple accessory; it’s a very powerful tool that absorbs and amplifies the
energies of a person wearing it. If you feed it with positive energies it will resonate and enhance
those energies. But if you feed it with bad ones, it can amplify those as well, potentially causing
harm.
It is said that Rudraksha can be as destructive as it is beneficial, depending on how it is handled
by the wearer. That is why it is important to handle it with utmost respect and caution. Proper
care and adherence to its guidelines are necessary to ensure that you harness its power
positively.
Dos and Don’ts
There are some important rules a wearer should keep in mind while wearing Rudraksha. These
include:
Purify the Rudraksha: Purify the Rudraksha before wearing it by soaking it in milk for 24 hours
and then Ghee for another 24 hours. After that clean it with a clean cloth and then chant ”Om
Namah Shivay” 108 times to fully energize it.
Wear It During Auspicious Times: It is recommended to start wearing Rudraksha on an
auspicious day, like Monday, which is associated with Lord Shiva, or during a full moon.
Maintain Personal Hygiene: It is important to maintain personal hygiene for a Rudraksha
wearer. Always wear Rudraksha after taking a proper bath, you can wear it while taking a bath
but should not apply soap on it as it makes the beads weak and brittle, and avoid wearing it
while visiting funerals or during intimate moments.
Avoid Non-Vegetarian Food and Alcohol: One must not consume alcohol or non-vegetarian
food while wearing Rudraksha as these are believed to lessen its positive energies. If you want
to consume such things, remove the Rudraksha first and keep it in the proper place, and then
wear it the next day only after taking a bath.
Remove It at Night (Optional): While one can wear the Rudraksha while sleeping, it is
advisable to remove it. Because the beads can cause discomfort during sleep and there is a risk
of the mala breaking due to movement.
Respect the Mala: Treat the Rudraksha with the utmost respect, and avoid letting it touch the
ground or other people, as it can destroy the energies of your beads.
Regularly Cleanse and Energize: Periodically clean the Rudraksha with water or cow’s milk
and re-energize it through chanting mantras or prayer.
Wear It With Faith and Positivity: Approach wearing Rudraksha with a positive mindset and
faith in its benefits. Your intent and belief play a crucial role in harnessing its power.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my experience with this sacred bead has been truly life-changing. Rudraksha has
helped me control my blood sugar, made me calmer and more composed, and deepened my
spiritual connection. Beyond the health benefits, it has made my life more disciplined and calm.
This tiny seed holds immense power to bring positive changes to one’s life, just as it has
brought to mine. However, it is a very powerful tool that needs to be treated with care and
utmost respect otherwise, it can adversely affect the wearer.
So if you are looking for a natural remedy to improve your health conditions or a way to grow
your spirituality. I highly recommend trying Rudraksha. Just remember to follow the guidelines to
make the most of its benefits.
I hope my story encourages you to explore this wonderful gift from Lord Shiva and experience
its benefits for you.
