Elaeocarpus angustifolius is the species name or botanical name of Rudraksha. Elaeocarpus angustifolius is the valid botanical name, however, the earlier botanical names i.e. Elaeocarpus ganitrus and Elaeocarpus spharicus are no more valid species names for Rudraksha. > > Dr. David Lee has done his research work on the same species i.e. Elaeocarpus angustifolius. > > Thanking you and with best wishes, > > Chandrashekhar Phadke > > > > greg <greg@s...> wrote: > Hi fellow travellers > i have recently collected some ripe seeds from the Cape tribulation Rain forest area in far northern Queensland ( Australia) > these seeds, when dried look almost identical to Rudraksha seeds > but I have been informed that botanically they are slightly different > In this region they are known as blue quandong, the ripe seeds are a bright Shiva blue > see picture at > http://www.emporiumgallery.com.au/HTMS/davidStaceyFruit1.htm > (in eons past this area was known as Gondwanda land and apparently joined to the subcontinent! > but due to tectonic plate movement the lands have moved apart) > and interestingly these seeds are eaten by the Cassowary Bird that is also has bright blue plumage around the neck > http://www.australien-explorer.de/cassorwary.2.kl.jpg > > isn't nature wonderful!! > GREG > www.spacetrader.com.au > > chandrashekhar phadke wrote: Respected Shri. Richard ji and Shri. Mohan Kumar ji, > > There is interesting scientific similarity between Rudraksha fruit and Peacock feathers. As you know the ripe Rudraksha fruit is deep blue in colour. The deep blue colour of Rudraksha fruits is not due to coloured pigments like other botanical material but is due to typical cellular arrangements in the outer most part of the fruit and light interference. This phenomenon is known only in very few species in the plant kingdom. > > In the same manner as above, the peacock blue colour of peacock feathers is also due to the cellular arrangements and light intereference. > > I wonder, whether Rudraksha and Peacock feathetrs have any positive energy accumulated as a result from the cosmic energy ? > > Dr. David Lee, a renowned botanist from the University of Florida, USA has published an interesting article in the research journal 'American Scientist' few years back. The name of the article is 'Idriscent Blue colour of Elaeocarpus'. The rest of the details I will let you know very soon. I have collected the reprint from Dr. David Lee, however, is not at hand. It contains beautiful coloured pictures describing the phenomenon. > > Thanking you and with personal regards, > > Chandrashekhar Phadke > > Chandrashekhar Phadke > > Richard Shaw Brown <rsbj66> wrote: > Sri Mohanji, > > Namaskar.
