How long can a Rudraksha seed remain viable? It is often claimed that Rudraksha seeds can live for over 100 years, but is there any scientific evidence supporting this claim? Additionally, if I were to keep a Rudraksha seed for X number of years, would it be possible to regrow it? If so, what is the approximate duration of X years?
Does longevity refer to the outer coating or the seed inside?... People wear it for religious purposes and assume it can last for several years. Some individuals may pass it on to their loved ones. My question is, how many years can it remain viable when someone wears it or keeps it at room temperature? Please disregard the storage conditions of -18°C or -20°C."
