Shiv ki shakti hai, yogi ki bhakti hai, Rudraksha agar Budh ki vastu nahi, tu kis ki ho sakti hai.
It is the power of Shiva, it is the devotion of the Yogi; if Rudraksha is not the item of Mercury, then whose can it be?
In this poetic verse, Dr. Sharma clarifies a deep astrological and spiritual connection regarding the Rudraksha bead.
Many modern astrologers debate which planet rules the Rudraksha. Dr. Sharma explains that while the Rudraksha is the ultimate symbol of Lord Shiva's power ("Shiv ki shakti") and a Yogi's devotion, in the realm of planetary items, it is strongly connected to Mercury (Budh).
Mercury represents the nervous system, intellect, and communication. Wearing a Rudraksha directly calms the nervous system, balances an afflicted Mercury, and connects the wearer's mind to the supreme consciousness of Lord Shiva.
