Not every research has to look complicated, sometimes they are quite ordinary & understandable by common man.
April 28, 2025 – Mumbai, India — In a creative development that could add-up to the research areas ranging from agriculture, ayurvedic science, spirituality to the renewable energy, an independent researcher from Palghar, Maharashtra has discovered a novel technique of measuring bio-electricity in Rudraksha (scientific name: Elaeocarpus ganitrus) with decent accuracy and sensitivity.
Punit M. Kansara, a researcher & founder of therudrakshatree.org, shared his findings in the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), with a paper titled “Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Bead & Bio Electricity”. This new method utilizes the simplest approach & ordinary device capable of detecting subtle electrical signals within a bead of Elaeocarpus ganitrus in real time, offering a direct alternative to traditional impedance spectroscopy (IS) techniques used for analysing the electrical properties of materials and electrochemical systems by measuring the resistance and capacitance of a material as a function of frequency.
“Bio-electricity plays a critical role in everything right from a brain activity, muscle movement to healing wounds and cellular level of communication and since many centuries, rudraksha has been seen as a healing agent & spiritual transformation tool” Punit Kansara said. “Until now, our setup for measuring these signals in rudraksha have been highly complex, & practicality not in reach of a common man. This method opens new avenues for understanding if at all, a rudraksha bead contains any bio-electricity? If yes, how much electrically charged a particular bead of rudraksha is, that too can be gauged with a most ordinary instrument, or to simply say, if a bead of rudraksha is dead or alive.”
This experiment uses an electronic device called digital multi-meter which generally an electronic shop keeper uses for measuring diodes, transistors, capacitors etc. This study has been conducted on more than 100 samples of Nepal origin Rudraksha which includes different Mukhi of beads such as 5 Faces, 11 Faces, a Doublet – popularly known as Gaurishankar bead along with few broken bead compartments with seeds and without seeds in them.
This study has directly uncovered some interesting answers to the questions, such as how to check if a rudraksha bead is dead or alive? Which part of rudraksha is an energy storehouse? What is a right method of measuring a rudraksha bead with the help of a multi-meter?
Each of these questions are carefully answered in this published research paper, you can download it for free since it is published in an open access journal, kindly follow the mentioned steps and try measuring the bio-electricity of your rudraksha.

Kansara is currently working on the next part of this research to uncover some other interesting characteristics of this mystical bead.
At “The Rudraksha Tree”, he makes powerful rudraksha combination mala such as Siddha mala. Being a meditator himself and as a social cause he teaches meditation to the under-privileged children at the Government schools in the rural interiors of Palghar – Maharashtra, so that a light of consciousness can spread further.
