Not every piece of research needs to look complex; sometimes it’s straightforward and understandable to the common person.
Creative development spanning agriculture, Ayurvedic science, spirituality, and renewable energy, an independent researcher from Palghar, Maharashtra has unveiled a simple method to measure bio-electricity in Rudraksha (scientific name: Elaeocarpus ganitrus) with reliable accuracy and sensitivity.
Punit M. Kansara, researcher and founder of therudrakshatree.org, has shared his findings in the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR) in a paper titled “Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Bead & Bio Electricity.” This method uses a minimalist approach and an ordinary device to detect subtle electrical signals within an Elaeocarpus ganitrus bead in real time, offering a direct alternative to traditional impedance spectroscopy (IS) techniques that analyze electrical properties by measuring resistance and capacitance across frequencies.
“Bio-electricity plays a critical role in everything—from brain activity and muscle movement to wound healing and cell-level communication—and for centuries, Rudraksha has been regarded as a healing aid and tool for spiritual transformation,” said Punit Kansara. “Until now, our setups for measuring these signals in Rudraksha were highly complex and not practical for the common person. This method opens new avenues to understand whether a Rudraksha bead contains any bio-electricity—and if so, how electrically charged a particular bead is—using a very ordinary instrument. Put simply, it helps assess whether a Rudraksha bead is ‘dead or alive.’”
This experiment employs a digital multimeter—the everyday electronic device used by shopkeepers to measure diodes, transistors, and capacitors. The study covers 100+ Nepal-origin Rudraksha samples, including different Mukhi beads such as 5-Face, 11-Face, a Doublet (Gaurishankar), along with several broken bead compartments with seeds and without seeds.
This study directly surfaces practical answers to questions such as: how to check if a Rudraksha bead is dead or alive, which part of the bead stores energy, and what is the correct way to measure a Rudraksha bead using a multimeter.
Each of these questions is carefully addressed in the published paper, which is open access. You can download it for free, follow the steps provided, and try measuring the bio-electricity of your Rudraksha.

Kansara is currently advancing to the next part of this research to uncover additional characteristics of this mystical bead.
At “The Rudraksha Tree,” he crafts powerful Rudraksha combination malas such as Siddha mala. A meditator himself, he also teaches meditation as a social cause to under-privileged children at government schools in the rural interiors of Palghar, Maharashtra, so that the light of consciousness can spread further.
