Posted by Mahiyoga on January 23rd, 2019

Mala is a plain string of beads. It is like a rosary which is used in meditation practice to count the mantras. Different materials can be used to make Malas but only sandalwood, authentic gemstones, and rudraksha seeds are used. Every mala is knotted by hand and blessed in Bali.

A mala consists of beads, guru bead, tassel, hand knotting, and charm. According to tradition, a Mala Beads has 108 beads. The Guru bead represents a relationship between the student and the guru. It is the 109th bead. The charm is a symbol of authentic offering and the logo is a Rudraksha seed. Every bead in the mala is hand-knotted which strengths the mala and the space between the beads help in Japa meditation. The tassel holds the different strands together representing each other connection to the divine.

Mala Beads and their uses

Malas are used for various purposes, like meditation, jewelry, and decoration. Mala is a garland which is made up of 108 beads and one guru bead which is bigger in size than the others.

In Buddhism and Hinduism, Bali Mala Beads are used for meditation. The 108 beads in the mala represent the 108 lines of energy that converge to form the chakra of the heart. Another fact is that the diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the earth. In Sanskrit alphabet, there are 54 letters having a masculine and feminine quality which total 108.

The repetition of  Mantra is a japa meditation of a circle with one on each bead which totals 100 and the extra 8 beads represent a few that you might have missed during the mantra. The beads used in the mala are made from dark rosewood, sandalwood, and rudraksha which are not treated with anything and are natural and pure.
