The Story Of Rudraksha
A demon named Tripura performed a long and difficult tapasya and was granted a boon by Lord Brahma. This boon made him very powerful and he conquered heaven. When the gods were driven out of heaven, They were helpless and went to Lord Brahma for help. Lord Brahma did know how to solve the problem and sent them to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva decided
to help the gods and went to fight with Tripura. He killed him with an
arrow. But while he was fighting a few drops of perspiration from his
body fell on earth. Rudraksha plants grew in the places whrere the drops fell. 
The seed of the Rudraksha plant has a lot of religious significance .
It is believed that counting the rudraksha beads while chanting Lord Shiva's
mantra cleanses a person of sin.
