How to choose, use     
and care for your mala  
Malas, "Power Beads," or Prayer Beads - Prayer is a time to protect the mind from the poisons of the world; anger, hatred (aversion), jealousy, grasping(attachment) ignorance(delusion), pride and greed. When you are ready to allow the noisy world to fade into the background of your mind...pick up your Mala and fill your mind with blessedness through Recitation of Sacred Mantra. When entering a state of prayer, one can awaken innate goodness, kindness, serenity, all virtue, joy, and a peaceful heart.

Buddhists and Hindus use the Mala to count a given round of mantra or prayers in Sanskrit or Tibetan typically in cycles of 108. Many other traditions, i.e., Christian and Muslims also use prayer beads for similar reasons, although the number of beads is different.. The Catholic Rosary and Muslim prayer beads have lesser numbers of beads on the strands because each tradition associates the purpose of beads unique to their own beliefs.

The Mala is a sacred spiritual tool, to learn to use it well, we encourage you to see our Mantra section and purchase some instructional audio, CD or book to learn more about the uses of mantra from authentic eastern traditions. More specifically, take a look at Mantra: Secred Words of Power.

To learn about proper care and use of Malas or "Power Beads" before making your purchase read the attached article as we are sincerely committed to your getting the most from the use of your mantra Mala. Care and Use of Your Mala.
