Rosewood mala beads with a central guru bead and metal counter on a leather thong. 108 beads to count through for prayer, meditation or anxiety. The beads are a beautiful rosewood with a deep auburn colour. Hanging from the larger ‘guru’ bead; a leather strip is strung with metal rings. At the end of the strip is a hammer or Dorje style counter. This is used to touch against each bead as you count to keep your place and focus your mind. It also adds a beautiful weight to the necklace. Mala beads can be used in prayer or mantras, or you can count through them to sooth anxiety.

About Mala Beads: “A Japamala or mala (Sanskrit:माला; mālā, meaning ‘garland’) is a string of prayer beads commonly used in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Shintō and other traditions for the spiritual practice known in Sanskrit as japa. The main body of a mala is usually 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. In addition, there is often a 109th bead (often of a distinctive size or colour) and/or tassle and sometimes there are additional beads which may be decorative or used for counting rounds. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity.”
