Attributes This 100% natural, handmade mala is sought for its capability to carry certain energies and as an item on which a spiritual practice called “japa” is done. Rosewood is ideal for transmitting the mantra to Lord Hanuman, who is known for his great devotion. This mala is knotted, providing a space between the beads to allow one to be held at a time for the spiritual practice of japa. Name explanation: Rosewood is the name of the wood from which the beads are carved. Why customers love it: In addition to each mala being carefully handmade by artisans in India, where the spiritual practice of these prayer beads originated, we explain the importance of keeping their sacred energy pure. No one else should touch the beads. As it is highly important to keep your mala away from external energy, we have designed an attractive encasement, available only at Prabhuji’s Gifts, in order to keep the beads’ energy sealed and completely protected from unwanted energy. Collection: Prayer Mala Beads Collection Description: The mala is a sacred string of prayer beads blessed with mantras that spiritual aspirants use in a practice called “japa.” Each mala has the auspicious number of 108 beads plus the untouched sumeru bead, which are made from natural materials capable of carrying energetic vibrations. Traditionally, the spiritual master blesses the mala with mantras and transfers divine energy to a disciple upon giving it. Packaging: Our prayer beads come in transparent cases, a design found only at Prabhuji’s Gifts to protect and seal their spiritual energy while allowing the beads and their unique textures to be seen. Each encasement is decorated with unique Indian art depicting the Divine form to which the mala is connected, and comes with information on the beads and their ideal mantra.
