It is dedicated to the Rudraksha, a seed used as prayer beads, which is sacred to the god Shiva. The scripture belongs to the Shaiva sect, which worships Shiva, and is associated with the Samaveda, and is one of 14 Shaiva Upanishads. It is told as a conversation between Kalagni Rudra, a form of Shiva and Sage Sanatkumara. The Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad begins with an invocation to Brahman, the Supreme Reality for the well-being of all parts of the body, the prana (life-force), and speech. The hymn ends with a wish for Peace.
