All about the Mala:
The word Mala means garland.
This is a beautiful traditional 108 bead Mala with velour carrying pouch.
A full set of Mala beads consists of 108 beads. The number
108 is a sacred and auspicious number in many cultures but particularly in the
Hindu tradition. The number comes from multiplying the 12 astrological houses
by the 9 planets.
Each Mala has a Guru bead, or tassel, to remind us of the
teachers in our lives.
Traditionally, the Mala is held between the thumb and middle
finger and as each bead is passed through the finger and thumb, a mantra is
said silently or out loud.
The most powerful mantras are those said to be repeated
silently.
Repeating a mantra is an excellent way of calming the mind
and keeping the Divine uppermost in our mind.
To empower the Mala and the mantra, the mantra meditation
(japa) should be practiced every day for 40 consecutive days.
When the Mala becomes empowered, it can then be worn to
transmit the energy of the mantra and the energetic qualities of the Mala to
the wearer.
If you use a different mantra, the energy of the previous
mantra becomes replaced by the new one. For this reason, many people will have
different Malas for different mantras.
When not in use, your Mala should be stored in a special and
clean, sacred space.
