Researcher reveals simplest way to measure bio-electricity in Rudraksha
In a creative step with implications for agriculture, ayurveda, spirituality, and renewable energy, an independent researcher from Palghar, Maharashtra has introduced a novel, easy-to-use technique to measure bio-electricity in Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) with practical accuracy and sensitivity.
Punit M. Kansara, researcher and founder of therudrakshatree.org, has shared the findings in the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR) in a paper titled “Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Bead & Bio Electricity.” The method uses a simple, off-the-shelf device capable of detecting subtle electrical signals in a Rudraksha bead in real time—offering a direct alternative to impedance spectroscopy (IS), which analyzes electrical behaviors by tracking resistance and capacitance over frequency.
“Bio-electricity underpins brain activity, muscle movement, wound healing, and cellular communication—and for centuries, Rudraksha has been viewed as a healing and spiritual tool,” said Punit Kansara. “Earlier setups to measure signals in Rudraksha were highly complex and out of reach for most people. This simple method lets anyone explore whether a bead holds bio-electricity and, if so, how much charge a particular bead carries—using the most ordinary instrument. In short, it helps assess whether a bead is **‘dead or alive.’”
The experiment employs a digital multimeter—the same tool commonly used by electronics technicians to test diodes, transistors, and capacitors. The study covered 100+ Nepal-origin Rudraksha samples, spanning multiple mukhi types such as 5-face, 11-face, a Gaurishankar (doublet), and broken compartments with and without seeds.
The research directly addresses practical questions: How to check if a Rudraksha bead is ‘dead’ or ‘alive’? Which part acts as an energy storehouse? What’s the right multimeter method to evaluate a bead?
Each question is answered step-by-step in the open-access paper. Readers can download it free and try measuring their own beads by following the outlined procedure.

Kansara is now working on the next phase to uncover additional characteristics of this mystical bead.
At The Rudraksha Tree, he crafts powerful Rudraksha combinations such as the Siddha mala. As a meditator and social initiative, he teaches meditation to under-privileged children in government schools across rural Palghar, Maharashtra, helping spread the light of consciousness.
