FAQs
What is a Mala?
A mala, which is the Sanskrit word for garland, is a string of beads – traditionally 108, in addition to one guru bead at the end of the mala – which is used as a meditation tool while chanting, reciting or silently repeating a mantra. Malas help the one wearing it to focus their mind; they are also often used to recite mantras of 108 repetitions. When not used specifically for meditation, malas can help the one wearing it to carry a sense of peace, mindfulness and focus with them throughout the day.
