Rudraksha beads have a deep spiritual meaning and are considered sacred in many cultures. The word "Rudraksha" comes from the Sanskrit words "Rudra" means Lord Shiva and "Aksha" means tears. Rudraksha means tears of Lord Shiva. These beads are the seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, mostly found in Nepal and Indonesia. They are used for meditation, prayer, and protecting against negative energies.
Because of their popularity, the market is full of fake Rudraksha beads made from plastic or wood. It is important to know how to tell the difference between a real Rudraksha and a fake one. At Shumangal Beads, we are dedicated to providing only genuine Rudraksha beads by using advanced technology and strict quality checks.
Modern Techniques for Authenticating Rudraksha
At Shumangal Beads, we employ science-based verification techniques to ensure that every Rudraksha bead is genuine. Below are the most reliable methods:
1. CT Scan Testing
A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a precise method for verifying the internal structure of a Rudraksha bead. It provides detailed imaging of the bead's natural compartments (mukhis), ensuring its originality.
2. X-Ray Testing
X-ray testing is another advanced method widely recognized for identifying genuine Rudraksha. The process involves passing X-rays through the bead, allowing experts to examine its internal structure. This method ensures the bead has not been artificially joined or tampered with.
Common Myths About Rudraksha Verification
Unfortunately, several myths surrounding Rudraksha testing persist. These outdated methods lack scientific validity and often mislead buyers. Below are some common myths:
1. Milk Test
This test claims that immersing a Rudraksha in milk for a few days will keep the milk fresh if the bead is genuine. This method has no scientific basis and should not be trusted.
2. Copper Coin Test
This involves placing a Rudraksha bead between two copper coins, asserting that the bead will rotate if it is authentic. This claim is entirely false and cannot reliably determine authenticity. Even round shape fake Rudraksha and crystal rotates when places between two copper coins. It is a property of copper coins that make round object rotates when placed between two coins.
3. Water Test
This method suggests that genuine Rudraksha beads will sink in water while fakes will float. While this may identify heavier beads, it does not confirm their authenticity. Counterfeiters often manipulate bead weight, making this test unreliable.
At Shumangal Beads, we discourage reliance on these outdated methods and instead prioritize scientifically validated tests, such as X-rays and CT scans, for authenticity verification.
