I want to ask you a little bit more about the purpose of a Rudraksh. Why is this such a valued device in Sanatana Dharma and why it's important?

When we talk about the word Rudraaksha, Rudra means Shiva. Aksha is the teardrops. Rudraksh, in basic, very simple terms, is teardrops of Shiva. The origin of Rudraksh is said in the Shiva Purana that Shiva went into great tapas for thousands of years. When he opened his eyes, the tear of joy fell into the world, and out of which the first tree that grew was the tree of Rudraksha. And this is the only tool where Shiva specifically manifested the tree for the good of the mankind. Rudraksha is a tool or a sadhan to further your sadhana.
